Nice enough interior and service was relatively quick. I had the pizza and it was great, especially for a place that isn't a pizzeria. Friends seemed to enjoy their meal as well. Much better than expected for your typical small town restaurant.
Just had the chicken souvlaki take out. Regretting not eating in the restaurant ... Country music ... Family feel. . walls adorned with hockey jackets and old school pics. Great spot. The chicken was so moist it fell apart with a spoon.
Great food with generous portions. Food is piping hot when you get it. The server is very pleasant and quick at getting orders and checking back to see if everything is fine. The restaurant is clean with hockey sweaters framed on the walls. Would certainly recommend this place as a great place to eat. Will definitely be back whenever in the area.
Everything was fantastic. I had a pizza and souvlaki bowl. The chicken was AMAZING and so tender. The salad was fresh. Pizza was also great. Would recommend anyone to stop here on their journey in northern Ontario.
North of 17 is the place to be if you like great homemade food at reasonable prices served by kind, friendly staff. Located in beautiful downtown Wawa, North of highway 17. If you are ordering breakfast and offered the homebaked bread, the answer is yes, please. Just don't pass it up or you are making a huge mistake. A comfortable relaxing atmosphere, North of 17 bears several affectionate tributes the the great Chris Simon, NHL star, and son of Wawa .
My friend and I stopped in on Sunday, June 15, 2025 for a quick lunch. We loved this quaint place. Their food was tasty, just the right amount, price was reasonable and service was great. I would recommend!!
Best restaurant in town! We stopped to have lunch at wawa. This was the best choice we ever made. I read some review before I went there and definitely its the best in town hands down. We had chicken soluvaki, chocolate milkshake, chicken club sandwich and chicken fillet. The soluvaki was the best ... amazing taste... the kitchen was run by 2 people only. The service was quick. There are a lot of options in the menu to chose from. Very friendly staff I guess this restraint truly gives you the Small town feel where everyone knows you by name. This restaurant also had ample space for seating or you can use it as a party hall. The restrooms were neatly maintained and clean. The pricing was okay.!
Had a stopover at Wawa for a quick visit and bite to eat for 2 adults early afternoon on a weekday. Driving down the main street, saw this place and decided to try it out. It has a diner feel, space is big, older decor, and clean. Our server was lovely and came by often enough to help us. The menu had lots of options to choose from. We ordered and shared the fully loaded medium pizza. The wait wasn't too bad, about 15 to 20 minutes. The pizza was large, definitely loaded, thin crust and so tasty. We ate everything in one sitting and full! The washroom was also clean and in good shape. Great restaurant to try out if stopping by Wawa as a visitor out of town.
