The only thing that has changed about this place since I was a kid is the prices.
It's a classic diner, with massive portions of comfort food. It's the perfect place to fill up after a long day of hiking or exploring.
Also, pro tip. Add cheese curds to the hot turkey sandwich to make turkey sandwich poutine.
Decent food. Only complaint is price has risen considerably. 16$-17$ average for any dish here now, so being your wallet. 16x4 + 15%tax, roughly 80$ if you include a small tip.
The Big Stop has been a fixture i ny life since childhood, drinking coffee, eating all day breakfasts, and those fries. Recently they have undergone face-lifts and entire rebuilds which made me worry they had messed with a time proven formula. Well don't worry, The Big Stop is as delicious as ever with the same excellent service. Burgers were terrific, ground beef hand formed pattied - this is gourmet stuff! And those crinkle fries done to perfection. Will absolutely be coming back for more.
Nice experience. Although we have eaten at most restaurants around the valley we have always kind of overlooked the Big Stop in New Minas. A family member ate there and got the fish and chips and was extremely impressed with the huge portion and freshness of the fish so decided to grab supper there. There is lots of great items on the menu and many great "home cooked country meal" options which I love. I got the roast turkey dinner and my other half got the breakfast skillet. We both very much enjoyed our meals. The service was great, lots of staff to look after everyone which was good to see, they were all very friendly and our waitress was very knowledgeable when notifying her of a peanut allergy. We got our food about 10-15min after ordering which was very good. Didn't order dessert but after peering into the dessert fridge on the way out and seeing the beautiful pies, cheese cakes etc... Kind of regretted not ordering... but still make sure to get a piece of pie next time we stop. Two cups of coffee plus our meals came up around $37 after taxes and before tip. Very much recommended this place, we will certainly be back.
Great friendly service, good portions of amazing food, a d great prices.
