Boyne River Grill

two things- the food is super delicious and the staff are so sweet. our server debby was such an angel and gave the place a nice aura and fell. cozy people and a cozy place. i grabbed the chicken tender basket (i ate a lil bit of it so it was fuller than this but still) and it was so tender and flavorful. definitely recommend!

Went for breakfast, awesome service, smiling faces. Had Biscuits and gravy and also picked up Breakfast Burrito. Both excellent and filling. Great value.

A solid 4 stars on the double cheese burger that I ordered for pick up at 2pm on a Tuesday. The food was ready right on time. I really like the smiling face of the lady that greeted me at the counter. It’s nice to have regular hours and what appears to be consistent food service at this venerable location in the heart of downtown BC. Congrats! Keep up the good work

UPDATED REVIEW: (4/5)

The burger: After trying 2 more times the quality has improved a fair amount. By no means is it the pinical of smash burger but we are definitely in the territory now. It's firmly into a 4 out of 5 for price and quality.

The crispy chiken sandwich: Oh man they are very close to something pretty amazing. The chicken is battered and i think that's the only thing holding it back. It was hardy and so juicy but that batter held just a bit to much grease and fell apart. Short of that the slabs of tomato mine came with were a little unripe but these are both super easy fixes. (4.5/5)

The fries: Unfortunately these are still a bland letdown I would pass. (2/5)

The icecream: I have only ordered malts but I have had 4 now and it's been completely different every time. They just need to implement some work instructions. (3.5/5)

Notes: The chips are alright but honestly they detract from the burgers and the chicken which are both getting pretty good.

ORIGINAL REVIEW: (3/5)
Food Review: The food is just alright and is 3/5 stars. I got a burger and fries. The burger wasn't dry but it lacked a lot of "smash burger" qualities. There was no sign of a crust like you would expect and the patty was seasoned with some sort of seasoning that just didn't belong. The bun was a bit yeasty and just a lot for the single patty of meat to contest with. The fries were crinkle cut fries that were a bit greasy and honestly about on point with store bought frozen fries you might make at home in the oven.

Business tips: For what its worth here is my advise should the owner or manager check the reviews. The POS appears to be to complicated. When I see an employee tap the screen 20 times to ring up a cheeseburger with fries and a shake that's to much. I understand trying to keep prices low but you have stripped so much back that most customers will now be adding back on both complicating ordering and worsening the customer experience. Last, please buy bigger straws for shakes nobody enjoys struggling to suck their shake through a tiny straw.

Loved to find a healthy option so close to our motel. The veggie wrap comes stuffed with cucumbers, squash, tomato, lettuce and green peppers, all in a spinach wrap. You can add chicken or bacon to up the protein. Made fresh. We treated ourselves with the soft serve ice cream - super creamy and higher quality than a Dairy Queen. Our friends had fried chicken, fries and a burger and all loved it, along with the local pop selections. If you like trying small, local fare and supporting small business, we’d recommend.
