Big R - St. John's

I dropped by this location on Good Friday, and for those of you not familiar with Newfoundland’s culture. Good Friday is the busiest day of the year for fish and chip restaurants in Newfoundland. As busy as this restaurant was (people lined up to eat...in/take out) the staff was friendly and energetic. The quality of the food was fantastic. No corners were cut even though they were overwhelmed with people. Great place to eat and I will return for another meal before leaving Newfoundland. Give this place a try.

Fantastic food. This place is one of my local favourites! Generous portions and is fairly priced. Staff are super friendly. Restaurant is always clean. Service is also quick!

Had the Jiggs Dinner. Very tasty, reasonably priced. Generous portions. My great nephew had chicken strips that looked phenomenal. Had been here years ago. Did not disappoint. Will return next time in St. John’s.

My wife and I often enjoy a Sunday dinner after the church. The food is delicious! Our menu item is the club sandwich, usually with frits. Last time we tried their perpetrators and they're better than Mary Brown's! And we love the atmosphere and the service! Top Notch!

My parents are in town from the west coast for medical appointments, they died for a good bowl of soup and a sandwich; So we went to the Big R. They loved everything from the soup, right up to the cheesecake my stepmother sneaked on the way out of the door. Our server was such a beautiful lady, with an amazing sense of humor and the most contagious smile. Thanks for the great scarf and the stellar service!
