S	Steve Robinson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ They had a special dinner event this evening which was called "From Forest to Table Fungi Dinner". It was a spectacular 4 coarse dinner with a bonus starter. John Murray (Chef/owner) and his staff know how to host these types of events.
Y	Yinka A. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We were three that went there to eat. I didn't capture the 3rd person's food cos he had the same thing as the other. We all had burgers which don't come with fries but coleslaw so we ordered an extra side of fries each and then had some drinks. Honestly the portions were quite large but the taste wasn't really for us. All 3 of us agreed it was just ok. Staff were friendly and polite. We also liked the ambience. Just a nice casual area for food and hangout. Maybe we'll try something else on the menu like pasta another time.
A	Adam Moreau on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Brought someone from out of town to a few places but this was the clear winner by a long shot. The food was excellent, the prices are more than fair, the service was top notch and everyone was friendly and cheerful. We ordered 3 apps, a couple sides and 2 mains and were constantly wowed at the level of quality of each dish. Absolutely delicious and made to perfection. The only drawback is that we had to wash everything we brought in - clothes, jackets, hats, bags, etc. The overwhelming smell of grease that latched on to it all was eye watering after the fact. They could probably use some proper ventilation in there.
J	Jose Joy on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The five rating is for the food and the ambience. We had a couple of beers (I loved the IPA) and were a bit annoyed at the slow service. But, all this melted away when they served the food. The pork belly appetizer had melt in the mouth sorta meat with an amazing dip and crunchy pork fat. The sliced green apple side went so well with it and gave a nice twist. For main course we had the brisket which was well marinated and well done. The dishes together were more than filling for the two of us.
M	Maryse Beauregard on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic service! Even though there were a few large parties inside, we still had excellent service on the patio. They even lit the heaters and fire pits for us, which was wonderful. The food was also excellent, we got the BBQ platter and shared it between 2 people. Plenty of food for the two of us! Great beer selection too, I've never seen Godspeed available outside of the brewery.
M	Mark White on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ First time at the Red Lion. I was seated on the stylish patio, and tried out a full rack of Pork Ribs with Chips Aioli on the side. The ribs come with a coleslaw, but I don’t care for slaw very much and didn’t want it to go to waste. Lunch was delicious. The ribs weren’t as fall off the bone as I would have liked, but it was still very tasty and filling lunch. My server was very friendly and helpful when it came to ordering drinks especially. I went with a pint Lakeside Kolsch which was a lighter tasting beer. Very tasty. I followed that up with a pint of Shindig which had a bit of a sharper taste and was also tremendous. I’m looking forward to dining inside on my next visit. It looks very clean and an excellent atmosphere inside. There are over 100 Craft Beers available. This is a great spot to host an event. They have enough space to hold 130 guests. Take out or delivery is also available on the delivery App that you probably already use. LGBTQ friendly, as well as Vegetarian and kid friendly.
C	Charlene Lilly on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A pretty good little restaurant downtown Thunder Bay. We were recommended to head there by our hostel, and could see the people on the patio from a block away. It was very busy for a Saturday night which was great to see as the rest of Thunder Bay seemed mostly dead. The food was good - my husband had the maple burger which he loved. I had the pulled pork sandwich, and have to be honest wasn’t a huge fan. The pork was a bit too smoked making it slightly bitter and it overpowered any other taste there may have been. Great selection of beer, though we got ours warm which I didn’t love. But it was busy so I could understand. Overall, a good restaurant to visit on a trip to Thunder Bay.
J	Jolene Stahn on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Vegan options, vegetarian options and tons of beer! Loved our meals here everything from the vegan pesto pasta to the deep fried olives and MASSIVE plate of potato skins you won’t be disappointed with the food here! Service and seating was decent and they have over 13 on tap beers! Great place to hang with friends as they have so many cool events happening. Hours are as seen in the photo below. (September 2021)
