John And Jessie's Steak And Ribs - The Pas, Manitoba

Vikki P.

The place we originally wanted to go to was closed so we headed to John & Jessie’s for lunch instead. Had never been here before.

Parking is a bit tight but it’s a smaller restaurant so it gives a good indication of if there’s available spots. There’s also parking in the a&w lot if you have a larger vehicle or it’s full.

It has old time restraint/small town & diner feels to it on entry. I’m not sure if you seat yourself as we had someone who had already arrived ahead of time to secure us a table.

There are booths & tables available.

The menu we were offered had appys and lunch options, also a senior menu.
It had a decent variety of options. Mostly handhelds. The special was fish & chips. I opted for the grilled chicken burger with side poutine.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with how the space seemed a bit less modern, however I am glad to say I was pleasantly surprised. The food was fantastic! Large portions sizes. They cut the chicken to fit the entire burger which is something that doesn’t happen often but is well appreciated. The fries were skinny but SO well seasoned and tasty. Food arrived warm. The gravy was rich, the burger bun was delicious and stayed together nicely.

My friends all really enjoyed their meals as well (chicken wrap, fish & chips and monte cristo).

Service was prompt and meal wait time was about twenty minutes for a group of five + others in the restaurant.

I would definitely return and recommend!

Friendly staff, however, food is very bland and generic. The homemade fries were not great. Everything felt undercooked and almost cold. For the price (~$20 per person), the food was sadly not worth it. Also, most drinks were out of stock (hot chocolate, orange juice, apple juice). Nice cozy, vintage environment but overall not worth it in my opinion.

Unfortunately, I was disappointed. We waited 90 minutes for our food. The menu listed spaghetti with meat sauce at $15, but I was charged an extra $6 for the meat sauce. On top of that, there was a forced gratuity despite the extreme wait. My spaghetti lacked flavor, had barely any meat sauce, and was overall not enjoyable. The atmosphere was very nice and our server was polite, but the speed of service and quality of the food did not match the setting.

Medium sized parking lot.

Friendly staff sat us quickly large menu with a lot of choices. They had both tables and booths, our booth was very comfortable.

I had a really good lasagna with meat balls, very very tasty.
We also had a chicken bacon swiss burger that was also very good.

Come try this place out. The service was great. They have much more then steak and ribs. If we are in town we will eat here.

went to the restaurant yesterday, and while waiting in line, no one paid any attention to us despite the back-and-forth of the two waitresses. They could have simply said, "Just a moment, I'll be with you shortly." Not even a glance or a smile. I believe the manager was even there, doing nothing. Clearly, you don't understand what customer service is or how to respond to a simple customer request. It wasn’t even crowded. I worked in the restaurant industry for a long time — I know the job. Unfortunate that you guys lost an extra 200$ in your pocket

Be better!

We waited about 90 minutes for our food after ordering. Even then, my food was overcooked but I did not want to send it back because I was afraid it would take another 90 minutes. Despite this, they charged us a 15% gratuity. They should have given us a discount for making us wait for so long.

Great local restaurant in The Pas. We were traveling through the area and stopped for dinner. Lots of choices on the menu beyond steak and ribs- we had the lasagna with meatballs and a Chicken bacon swiss burger. Really good, fresh ingredients. We enjoyed our meal. Staff were friendly. We would recommend this restaurant. Thanks
