Green Acres Family Restaurant

90% of reviewers RECOMMEND Green Acres! And there's a reason why! It's just plain good family dining. Yes, often you will wait, especially on weekends. But the wait is worth it. The food is not cuisine, but down home family style CANADIAN comfort foods. The portions are HUGE, too much, really. Their pies are fantastic! Any meal chosen will be a winner although I do like their fish & chips! I have never waited more than 15 min for a table on weekends and most other times the wait is a few minutes or immediate seating. I would concur with the previous reviewer that you wait a lot, however, for me it's perfect. If I wanted fast food, I would go down the street to one of the fast food places that offer pre-processed food at cuisine pricing. Green Acres food is always FRESH. The staff are great! The decor has not changed in years but who cares, it's one of the things that makes it memorable and knowing that I'm in for another relaxing evening of dining on my schedule, not anybody else's.
BTW, a side note...I know the previous reviewer and ironically they dine at Green Acres regularly and I have yet to see any of them walk away and not finish ALL of their meals. Interesting...

We (wife and I) realized that the poorly made food that was a giant heap of flavourless beef,overcooked,mushy vegatables,a small,overbattered peice of fish,presented on a crisp bed of multicoloured french fries,(not fresh)and instant potatoes were made for seniors with only half their teeth and zero taste buds left. Yet. Hence,the place was packed with seniors, who all seemed to be thrilled with their take-out containers.I guess to some, the value is in the quantity.
We waited far too long for "hospital food". My wife commented "they might not all have been seniors when they arrived,but the wait...

The food at Green Acres is great. The fish is the best I have ever had and the portions of meat on the sandwiches are enormous. We have been known to get a roast beef sandiwch to go and then buy rolls on the way home as there is easily enough meat on one to feed 2-3 people.

The decor is dated. Really dated. Like my grannys basement dated. Lots of weird plates and pictures with some kind of hobo/clown and huge 60s light fixtures.

But who cares? The food is what we come for, and the freaky decor is just something you have to put up with (or make fun of) to get to the good stuff.

If you come for supper, expect a wait. The fact that you have to wait should tell you how popular the place is with us locals. Lunch on the other hand has the same menu, same huge portions and no wait.

My only critique about the food is that they dont make fresh cut fries (frozen only) and/or fresh bread rather than the oftentimes stale dinner roll. Aside from that, you cant go wrong for the price.

This was our first time there. We went on a Saturday around 6-6:30pm. Sat at the small bar area and stood outside for about an hour , hour and a half. After asking several different staff at the door when we would be seated. They told us a party was already finished with their take out containers done, but could not make them leave. That was about 45 minutes into our wait time. Finally we were seated, our waitress was not very attentive. She took our drink order, returned with 4 drinks but then it took another 10 minutes for the milkshakes. Then she finally came back to take our order. She started and got about 4 of us done then she rushed off to the kitchen to get another table their food order. She returned about 10 min later. The time now was almost 8pm, she finally returned with "sorry about that where did I leave off?" We finally got our food, we had to ask any passing waitress if they could get us some ketchup and napkins, because we couldnt find our waitress. She only returned near the end of our meal to then ask us if we wanted something else to drink. Which we replied no as the meal was almost done. We could not find her when it came time to pay, so we went up to the cash area and paid, and we told a gentlemen we assumed was a manager of sort, that the service was horrible, he apologized. We finally left the restaurant at 9:20pm, we were the last ones to leave yet people were seated way after our party. The food itself was extremely good.. Maybe the waitress was new?? We will be back I am sure as we live locally. Hopefully to a much more attentive waitress.

I remember coming here as a child and loving it so we came here after a recent trip to Canada and was very dissapointed. The waitress was extremely rude and unattentive and never bothered to check on us after the food came. We waited for 25 minutes just to get a refill and a takeout container. The portions were good, but the food came out luke warm and the dinner rolls were stale. I would not make the trip back here again.

Very busy but always friendly, everything on the menu is good ,large portions but doggy bags are the norm. the fish and chips are the best anywere.They even do take out . The coconut cream pie is exerlent too!

KEEP UP THE WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every year we vacation at Crystal Beach and we always drive to this resturant. The food is home cooking comfort food and yes the portions are huge. We always have left overs for the late evening when we are relaxing at the cottage. Mind you, we always order the same thing every year so we haven't tried everything on the menu. The staff is always friendly and attentive. The best value for your money. We always look forward every summer.

Althought the mushroom soup was not up to standard, (too thick and floury, and a weird butter flavor) everything else made up for it and then some. The mashed potatoes tasted real, like mom's and the fresh baked squash was done perfectly. The ribs were amazing. I'll be eating here a lot. What a shame it's closed in the winter.

HEY PEOPLE NOTICE the negative reviews ? Each review said they were not happy but HEY ....each reviewer said they were given large portions! HELLO !!
I would rather leave a restaurant paying a fair price and a full belly than to leave paying too much and leaving hungry! I LOVE this place. Its busy for a reason.. and everyone usually leaves with a doggie bag. Single mom who really enjoys the price-the food-the staff - KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS !
