The best cod ever! I had the fish & chips, my husband had the pan fried cod with scrunches. Absolutely a must try. No table service but worth it!
My favourite place to eat, staff are the best, food even better
Great family restaurant. Good local food. Finally a restaurant that serves moose, but only burgers. Locals told us about the place, otherwise it is pretty hidden from tourists.
We stopped for food. Best service by a Philippine gal and a Newfoundland Dish , prepared by a young man from Syria, it was Awesome!
Great food and service and excellent location during snowmobile season
Restaurant: Great unic original place, great service, nice food. Expresso and Capucinno coffee out here! Can you believe it? And, really good! OK, it's kind of pub fare, but very well done.
I had the pleasure of staying at one of Jackladder's cabins, "The Bears Den". I was very impressed by the cabin. It was spacious, clean and had everything you could imagine to be a home away from home. This all season cabin would be good for anytime of the year. We stayed for a whole week! The cabins are just outside of Gros Morne National Park and close enough to Deer Lake if you need supplies or feel like treating yourself to Tim Hortons. My family has lived near the Jackladder now for many years and I have to say this has been the first real time I have enjoyed it, now that it is under new management. The kitchen party on Friday nights with local entertainment and the best wings you've ever tasted! Be sure to ask for the house sauce. Don't forget to join them in the dining room for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We had a yummy breakfast with homemade bread and jams. I totally recommend this location to stay and to eat. We searched a lot of cabins in the area, none were are nice and convenient as these.
Stopped in after our hike. They have everything you need. Gas, vegetables, medicine, ice, water, etc.
