Restaurant

😠 i was super excited to try this place out for the first time as i always thought the place was cute. Anyway, we walk in at 12:10 and the waitress (while walking past us) says “can’t get breakfast” in a super rude tone of voice. Didn’t even try to say hi or hello, nothing of the sort. We left because... People often mention breakfast, bacon, time, service, eggs, minutes, great, order,

We left because not only did she assume - don’t know why she would - but we felt immediately attacked as soon as we walked in the door. Also just want to point out that Skip the Dishes says they have all day breakfast and so does their website.

    Stopped in for breakfast. Ordered 2 breakfasts that consisted of 2 eggs, bacon, home fries and one breakfast had extra sausage. I asked for crispy bacon and over hard eggs, my bacon was not crispy, one of the eggs was runny, we waited 44 minutes for our food, we watched people walk in after us and they received their food before us, we never got a sorry you food was late or anything of the sort. I would not recommend this place unless you want to wait almost an hour for a simple breakfast. I will never return to this place.

    Best burger I have had in a long time! Portions were so big I was not sure I could finish. All of that and excellent service, I will be sure to add this to my must stops when traveling down number 3 highway. Thanks for a great lunch!

    Friendly staff, good service, they were out of what we originally ordered, but gave us time to look through the menu and offered some substitutes as well. Seemed like pretty new staff. But with a bit of patience while they learn and they will do great! Great homemade burgers!!

    My husband’s scrambled eggs had bits of whatever was cooked in the pan earlier and his toast was drier than cardboard. Sausages were yummy and a good size. I had a piece of fried chicken - coating was bland and chicken was raw in spots. Our son thoroughly enjoyed his BLT and onion rings.

    First time eating here, it looked nice from the outside but it wasn't. It took 40 min to get eggs and bacon and a hamburger. The Fries were over cooked and from where we were I could see the cook touch the bacon with her bare hands. Not wash and then touch the bun of my burger. While all of this the server seemed or not wonder why it took 40 minutes for our order.

    For a small roadside restaurant you have really great food. Your fish and chips were awesome and such a huge portion. We will definitely be coming here again. Thank you for such a good dinner

    Overpriced greasy eggs, bacon and sausage, an hour and fifteen minutes between ordering and eating, and a rude waitress, almost made 6 of us walk out. From a local's perspective - I want to like this place, but I'm sorry to say Gateway is NOT a good representation of the high quality food or service that has become prevalent in Crystal Beach and Ridgeway. There are better, cheaper, higher quality breakfast/lunch spots within 5 minutes of this location.

    Homely ambience, relaxing to the soul. Wholesome breakfast and rustic decor with some lost in time pictures on the walls. This stopover made our day in the journey.

    Was my first visit at this place. Super clean, friendly affordable and had a family oriented run feel to it. Although we ate inside there was also plenty of picnic tables outside that would have made a great outdoor experience on a nice day. The Haddock as well as the batter was great...cooked perfect and not greasy! Will return again at some point to try other menu items! 😎👌

    Great place for ice cream in November when NO ONE ELSE IN CB/RIDGEWAY had any! Yea they came thru for us when we wanted some on the LAsT hot day of the whole year! Kudos!

    The only breakfast/lunch place that was open on an idle Wednesday. We were glad it had outdoor seating and very fast service. Portions are huge and prices are more than reasonable. Great little stop.

    I made a stop for gas at the Flying J and I was referred to have a locals favorite, Poutine which it’s only fries, cheese curls and gravy. We stopped at Crystal Beach Gateway since we saw that local vibe and we were looking for that kind of place. The locals there took the time to explain the recipe and it’s history, made us feel welcome 🤗 Our order was made fresh and quickly, and delicious 🤤

    I've tried this place with my family on a lovely evening. The server lady Brandi invited us in and provided us with great hospitality. She provided coloring books and crayons for my nephew. We ordered a couple of their signature items including the "Godfather Burger". Everything was so delicious and we decided to try more items next time. I express my gratitude to the Crystal Beach Gateway staff for their delightful treat.

    Thank you so much for the wonderful service yesterday when I came to pick up burgers for a take out lunch. The server was the best and she even brought water outside for my dog while I waited and the service was super fast. You guys are the best and the burgers were delicious!😋

    I was there at around 11:30 this morning, and I waited near the sign that said "Please wait to be seated", until the waitress told me to go pick a seat and that she'd get to me when she could. After I sat down, I heard her tell everyone who came in after me that it'd be at least 30 minutes to get food. She came over to me about 10 minutes later and asked me what I wanted to drink, I told her I knew my whole order, and she said that'd have to wait, and took my drink order, but left while I was in the middle of a sentance asking for it. She came back a few minutes later with the wrong drink. I waited, and when she came back to take my food order, I tried to talk to her about the drink, but she turned and walked away while I was in the middle of my sentance again. I decided not to risk my food not coming the way that I asked for it either, and decided to leave. I tried to tell the waitress that I was leaving, but she just told me I needed to wait, and I wasn't about to do that again, so I just left. I hope she noticed before she put the food order in, because if she didn't, it would have sat on the table untouched with the untouched drink. I understand that you're busy, but you probably shouldn't walk away from your customers while they're mid-sentance.
