“ The vanilla milkshake was delicious! Portion size of the food was good, waiters were polite and helpful, and great atmosphere of the restaurant! Will definitely come back, thank you for a great dining experience. ”
“ The food was delicious! I loved the decor. The waiter was really nice. I ordered toutons and eggs. There were two plates, one with my eggs, home fries, and bologna, and the second plate was just toutons. I was so full and took half of my food home with me. When I return to Newfoundland for a visit, I will definitely make a stop at Pop's Diner again. ”
“ Great food, decent prices, and the greatest wait staff in the city. I was pleasantly surprised by the food. I had the spicy chicken burger which has a Caribbean hot sauce so it’s smoky, spicy, and sweet and it was absolutely perfect. Their fries and gravy are top of the line and not to be missed. Give this place a try! ”
“ Have been to Pop's a few times and always pleased with the food. Solid, comfort, classic food. Nothing over the top, just solid. Fries are deadly. Was there tonight on a tight turnaround between activities, table of 7. Our server Wesley was amazing! Attentive, engaging and hit every step and even took time to teach our kids a new game to replace tic-tac-toe. Our food came fast, fresh, hot and correct. 10/10 service. ”
“ Stopped in here for lunch and really enjoyed it! We ordered fish cakes to start. It came with two for 12.99. They were very flavourful and tasty. For my main I got the crispy chicken sandwich which was delicious. The staff were friendly, service was fast. Looking forward to coming back!! ”
“ What a great place! The restaurant feels like it's right out of an Archie Comic. It nails the Pop Shoppe vibe on the head. Can't say enough about the excellent level of customer service from the serving team of Brendan and Nathan (may have gotten the name wrong) and was personally thanked by the ownership for visiting when I was leaving. 10/10 all the way around for this local business. Highly recommend to visit for a date night out! ”
“ Wonderful friendly service, delicious food and great music. The turkey soup was homemade, hardy and was lacking nothing. All the breakfast items ordered were prepared perfectly and the kids were so pleased that at the end they got to select a toy from the treasure chest! Our server was attentive and very kind. ”
