Thunder Bay Grille

Nothing spectacular and everything is around $25 or up besides the burgers and appetizers. The bison meatballs were horrible I couldn’t even eat them. My boyfriend got the chubby sirloin and he said it was dry but the flavor was great. I got the impossible burger and it wasn’t anything special. The French onion soup was good but not the best I’ve ever had. They give you complimentary bread with oil for dipping. It would have been nice if the oil had some herbs in it but it was just plain oil. Looking at the menu the salads were expensive and made with iceberg lettuce which isn’t expensive so not sure why the salads were so pricey. Also the burgers only come with cheese and a brioche bun and they are $15. They also portion your ketchup for your fries in a tiny cup which I though was weird. I’m sure I could have asked for more ketchup but didn’t bother. I think there are much better restaurants in the area for a fraction of the price.

We stayed next door at the Holiday Inn a couple times and we have eaten here 2 times. I personally like the layout and the location as there are not too many bigger restaurants like Thunder Bay in the area. Now the food is honestly sometimes confusing. They have some dishes that are very good and others that are just bad it's weird how things vary so much. Being in the business consistency is key and I see that being one problem and another is their recipes are little off. For example their bruschetta had melted goat cheese on it and it killed the whole flavor of the dish. The salads were good and the chicken and shrimp were great. We will keep trying different dishes when we're in the area. It's a solid place that would be even better with some subtle changes.

Ordered the Beef Wellington with Parmesan Garlic Potatoes and the salas bar. Omg the salad bar was amazing. It had 2 soups plus all the fixings to have a salad to die for. We also ordered 4 cheese stuffed mushrooms. They where also amazing. When it came to the Beef Wellington I was not impressed. The puff pastry was raw I was looking for a nice golden brown crust. As you see in the photos it was not a flaky crust. The hubby also had Beef Wellington with fries and asparagus. He also agreed that the crust was not cooked property. We would go back to try other items on the menu. Very cool place to look at all the native american items and motif.

The excellent Sunday brunch is back! From the omelet station through the chocolate mousse and dessert table, the food is impressive and delicious! All manner of breakfast and lunch meats such as bacon (a particular favorite), fried chicken, beef tips, and ribs do not disappoint. I wish the fish was broiled rather than deep fried; but it was still good. Soups, potatoes and salad bar complete the lunch extravaganza! Don't miss this!!!
