Top Restaurants in Dryden, Canada

The waitress was brisk, but otherwise helpful.

The serving size is excellent, plates are all heaping with food, and it tasted quite good.

We dropped by on a busy Sunday noon for brunch. The restaurant is a family run favourite, and as usual the food was amazing. The poutine was divine, drowning in gravy and mozza cheese. The fish fillets were super crispy and delicious! And the cherry on top, the millionaire pie was tha Bomb! And here I thought nothing could top their famous giant cheesecake slices. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming. Will be coming back for more 😊

Reminds me of traditional road side restaurants. Service was good, especially in dealing with very specific requirements due to allergies. The cook came to see us and discuss our needs. Wish there were more places like this everywhere we went on our trip.

Had breakfast here, it was good and cheaper than other places in town. Basic fare, served in a very spartan dining room. Eggs over easy, sausage, omelets, shredded hash browns. The Holindaise sauce is unmentionable packet base- don't bother if you are a Benedict lover!

Nancy, our server, is cheerful and most helpful. The food was quite good as well.

The morning chefs “Glenn” here makes the best breakfast along highway 17 from Thunderbay to Winnipeg
I recommend it. Super nice guy and professional. And the waitress is super kind and professional

I'm pretty sure my steak sandwich was microwaved. The beef dip was probably 3 days old & to top it off they use processed cheese slices on it.
Service was amazing tho! Very nice girls working

One of my favourite places to eat in Dryden hands down. My favourite dishes are the honey garlic ribs. Made with real honey and fresh garlic. The noodles are delicious. Nancy is really nice and has a good sense of humour. I wish I had a picture of the food but I ate it to quickly lol 😆

Their spaghetti sauce is homemade, and I conceded, way better than mine. WOW!
Impeccable service and very good prices. Thank you so much.

I travel to Northwest Ontario quite often for work, especially Dryden. My go to is the PI Family Restraunt, always good food there. However this time I wanted to try something different and after a long day at work decided to try Chinese. Found a menu online, called them up and ordered a Cantonese chow mein and a kung Pao chicken. The lady on the phone was very kind so that’s why I gave 4 stars for service.
Now one thing I must say is that these portions are very generous. Massive containers so value is there… however I refuse to eat more than a handful of bites as this is the most bland, flavorless Chinese I have ever eaten. The kung Pao chicken was in a almost clear type of sauce, I’d think it was water to be honest but thicker… peas, carrots, mushrooms and onions but somehow can’t differentiate any of the flavours. And then chow mein - pork, chicken, shrimp and beef… again zero flavour.
I believe in second chances but I unfortunately won’t be giving this restraint another shot. $56 down the drain.

This is by far the worst Chinese food I have personally tried. I’ve been here twice and both times I found the food so bad I couldn’t eat a majority of it. The rice has no flavour, dry, broccoli was fine, too many onions, beef tasted off, soup was not good. I don’t expect much with Chinese food but this was really bad, I will not be back.

very poor customer service. since when did it take 2 hours to boil 6 Pierogies

The chicken was outstanding, cooked to perfection, juicy and crispy. The wedges were perfect. They also sell homemade East Indian food and deserts. The food is shocking good. The restaurant leaves a little bit to be desired. Your typical dinner/dive. The food however is phenomenal!

This is a wonderful restaurant with superior service and absolutely tasty homemade meals! Who does this anymore? Everything from the soup of the day (which is delicious no matter the day) to the entrees and their amazing desserts are prepared on site and it is fantastic! The service is excellent! Quick service with tons of smiles really makes this an amazing experience. I highly recommend!

Driving truck from Vancouver to BC with my wife and had order delivered from Masala right to the door of our truck at Husky Truck Stop. Absolutely outstanding quality food and service!! Highly recommend Masala!!

Stopped by here two times this week as I’m doing some work in the Dryden area. Food is off the charts. Jashandeep the owner is an amazing person who #1 goal is to make sure you have a wonderful dining experience.
First time here I had the buffet. Second time here I had the karahi chicken and both meals were very good. 5 stars

Tucked away in behind the main streets, this little gem is worth searching out! Friendly staff, excellent food, this restaurant has it all! I would definitely come back!

I came in for dinner near closing time, and it was still pretty busy considering the time.

I ordered the bandito burger with fries plus a starter Greek salad, and it all came out pretty promptly! The burger and fries were really good, and the cheesecake was fantastic with a whipped texture, not dense like usual cheesecake.

I'll definitely come here again next time I'm going through town

Food was very good, would definitely visit again when I'm in town. The old waitress was super nice to me an my kids who were playing with the salt and pepper on the table. She kindly asked them to stop instead of yelling which is what I would have done. I don't understand all these mean comments about her, she was genuinely very nice to talk to and was very friendly.

This is not child-friendly restaurant. The old lady in the front desk was very rude. She blamed, shouted and force to stop my children not to play some salt on table. Normally, people should just gently tell them not to play is ok! Her attitude was extremely worse and my children felt very scared of her. Unfortunately, we had just made order of food. Otherwise, we will choose to leave immediately.
Other is the food is no as good as what those comments stated. Fried rice is grease and difficult to put into the mouth. We will NEVER go this restaurant again.

Last but not lease, I am just telling the truth and comment to this restaurant politely. I noticed that one of the Internet Bridges like to copy my whole meaning of sentences and make the disguisting comment.

Its a good restaurant with many dishes to choose from. The buffet is reasonable priced and many options.
Atmosphere could be improved. We had indian food, which made to our taste with correct spice level.
The service was a bit slow but given the taste and price it was worth the wait.
Would stop there again when traveling on that route.

We were driving from Etobicoke to Banff and Dryden was our stop!!! we found out a very beautiful & Authenic Indian restaurant... Food was amazing... Very delicious #Jakkas. Chef was very nice & made very Tasty Raita (cucumber)... Owner Chef other chef all are very humble😎😎😎 feels like family 🧡🤍💚

The food was tasty and the portions were big. The waitress was a riot, very friendly. I would go there again when I'm in town.

Amazing breakfast, eggs poached perfectly, maybe a bit heavy on the sauce for most but not for me. 10/10 would recommend for breakfast. Pricing is very fair.

I wanted to give my review as a thank you, as I was travelling across Canada from Toronto and the service was great, even though I was there just passing through, everything was amazing and the service was fantastic and again thank you.

Great food and friendly staff, stopped here for dinner with my co-worker. It was so great to find real food instead of the fast food options available. Everything was well made, toned down on the spice for a more northern Ontario pallet, but overall good quality and good prices. If you're stopping through it's also really close to the main road and comfort inn etc. so is also a great option to walk and stretch your legs.

Well this was a treat and well worth the drive. We are from the Chicago area and are used to great food options, so this place was a little gem of a find. I overall am so impressed with Dryden as a whole. The people are SO NICE! We didn’t really know what to expect it was late probably close to 8:00 so the dinner rush at the buffet was over and they were winding down. But the food options were still all available and really good! They even made us fresh Naan! That sold me I will come back each time we come back!

Stopped here after being away for 7 years. Or meal then was hot and great. Not anymore. Stopped in February 2023. Around noon. Short staff to wait tables. Waitress said it's always like this. Gravy was lumpy and warm. Eggs over easy were cold sausage under cooked and arrived cold. Home fries cool to the touch. Coffee was see through. Toast was even cold. Paid my bill tipped the waitress that was run off her feet. We won't be back.

Stopped here for supper and today breakfast
Good food good staff

Sampled everything available at the buffet today. The lemon chicken and the pulled pork were both amazing, but just about everything was delicious. Very reasonably priced for what was offered. Would visit again.

AMAZING SURPRISE!!
I was driving from blue lake to find a place to eat, and I found this hidden gem.
The food was warm and delicious. The waiter was so friendly. And the cheesecake, OMG, made from scratch in-house. If you are passing by Dryden looking for a place to eat delicious food at a reasonable price, you should stop at Patricia Inn. :)

Whether you're coming here for lunch, dinner or even breakfast. This is a great place to stop! I have been coming here for years and the food has always been fantastic. The servers are always friendly and willing to accommodate diet restrictions.

The portion sizes are massive! I often find I have leftovers to take home. My favorite part about the restaurant is that it has an all day breakfast menu. I would highly recommend the French toast with strawberries and whipped cream. You have to try the cheesecake! It's the world's best by far.
