Shoeless Joe's Sports Grill

The food was quite good, but lets forget about the food for a second, because I have a journey to take you through. My wife and I sit down for dinner after a brutal day of work. We ordered our food and out it came, two bites into our appetizers I am struck in the back of the head by a red pepper. Me, being the type to not just take it on the chin (head), go and find the pepper thrower. I go to the booth behind us and they know nothing about it, so I turn to go to the next booth, and there I see him. Now, I'm just going to tell you I know it's him right away. He looks the type, as in, he is the living embodiment of the term "trailer trash". So I ask him, "Did you lose this?" He says, "I dunno, maybe." With a huge smirk on his face. So I throw it down in front of him and tell him, "Try keeping your food to yourself." A while later, our server comes and I ask to speak to the manager. She comes over and I tell her what happened, she's very gracious and apologies and then continues to go over to the booth with the pepper perpetrator. She pays for his meal and asks him to stop throwing food. He (and his INCREDIBLY loud girlfriend) deny and laugh outrageously. Now, a woman in the booth between ours and pepper boy, has clearly caught on to what's happening. She stands up and gives the guy and his girlfriend biblical scolding for at least five minutes. Now, about ten minutes later when the couple decides to leave they have to walk past our table to leave. So as they walk by, they throw two more red peppers down on the table, he goes "Here, we saved you some." and she continues, "You guys are beautiful." Anyways, I just wanted to share with everyone that if they ever experience these two truly sad excuses for humans, please graciously tell them to go to hell. Now the manager (Joyce) and our server (Mitchell) I have to commend, they handled it as well as I'm sure could have been, and gave us desert for free. I'll eat here again, but I'm bringing my goalie mask next time.

Was here for lunch while at a meeting at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites. They share a parking lot. It is new and very nice inside and outside. I sat at the bar and the bar tender was really great. The Caesar they made for me was spot on. The food was good and the service was fast. They have lots of TV'S to watch the game. I would go back.

I was amazed at their ribs, they were probably the best ribs I've had in Thunder Bay. Not only was the food amazing but the customer service was unbelievable! Everyone was helpful and even though it was busy, everyone worked together so you never really had to wait. Shoeless Joe's is turning into my favourite restaurant in Thunder Bay
