James Bay Inn Pub

Great atmosphere for a neighborhood pub. Love the mix of traditional and sports bar.

We have been visiting JBI for years, on a weekly basis when the Sunday Night Football season is in play. Its definitely a pub where many of the faces are the same locals who come daily or weekly. They make possibly the best dry ribs in town. Prices are reasonable. The serving staff (whom we have also known for years) have our table at the ready and the bar tender always know what drinks we want to start with. Parking can get filled pretty quick as this is also an Inn, although most of the locals walk in. It can get a bit noisy. The on tap beer selection highlights products from a couple of the local breweries (Hoynes, Lighthouse). The specific taps are OK, but I personally don't think they highlight the best the breweries have to offer.

Had a great time. The alcohol prices were so reasonable. The service was awesome. The food was really good. The fries were hot and delicious. I had the BLT but in a wrap. It was a little small but tasty. We plan to back in a couple weeks for brunch! My Mom loves waffles. This will probably be my and husband’s go to place. The prices for alcohol are so good. Every where we’ve been lately is pricey I don’t drink. My hubby and mom have a beer on tap which is ok. Anyway I’d say give it a try. We had a very nice time.

Some what enjoyed the Thanksgiving turkey plate that included stuffing, mashed potatoes & gravy & cranberry sauce, yellow beets & carrots. The pumpkin pie with whip cream was lack luster and small in size; similar to an average food store type. I also had a IOTA NA beer. The wait staff was attentive. The ambiance wasn’t bad save for a homeless or very unkept guy milling about with his own odor. I guess it’s all a challenge but it doesn’t help the visiting paying customers relax. The mens washroom was clean. With 20% tip, the bill was little over $50 CAD.

We've been coming here for years and the food and service have always been great. Like everywhere else, they have been faced by increased prices, and so you can expect some increases. This has happened but some of the increases have been OTT! The stir fry used to be $16? and is now $20, a 25% increase. If you wanted chicken added, the $6 extra is now a mind boggling $10! I don't know how much the fish and chips used to be , but now a single piece and chips is $23, two piece and chips is $28, but an extra piece is $15! What!

We love this place! The food is always good here (try the sweet potato fries), Portions are generous and prices are reasonable. This is our "go to" place.

I enjoyed this place a lot! It has a great atmosphere in the pub. Service was ontop of everything from refills to food orders we were well taken care of. Food wasn't greasy, tasted good all happily be returning again soon!
