Smokey's River Shack — Restaurant in West Nipissing

This is a literal hidden gem! Owners are extremely friendly and accommodating. Probably the best prices I've ever seen at a chip stand and made fresh! Fries are great! The burger I find is the best part! Locally sourced beef with no additives in the meat. Just how an old school hamburger should be! The woman working with the glasses was super super nice and friendly. The man working was also super friendly!! Even if their food sucked (which it doesn't)I would come support this business! Hard to find amazing food AND friendly staff all in one shot. And to wrap it up with a nice view of the river while eating. You can also dock your boat and come and grab a bite to eat! They also take cash credit and debit. Most places are cash only now a days.

Possibly the best handcut fries I've ever had. Seating is picnic tables outside with a beautiful, riverfront view. Owner / cook was friendly & helpful. Definitely...
