I have visited Gillies for breakfast and lunch many times and have never regretted doing so. Most menu items are very good, always substantial and reasonably priced. This place can be very busy but the staff generally handle the business efficiently and with a smile.

Nice place, themed as you would expect (truck). Food was ok, service was good. The place is quite large, causing the only waitress we saw to have to keep running from one end to the other. In spite of that, she did a very good job.

Typical truck stop food. Prices were good but no free refills. They could have used another waitress. If you are in a hurry, ask for your bill when you receive your food.. lots of seating and clean.

It is with heavy heart I must give the following review. While traveling through Temiskaming Shores, we stopped at Gilles Truck Stop & Restaurant. I am being specific for only my wife's meal and mine, not our other guests.
My wife ordered fish and chips, I ordered breakfast with eggs and sausage and breakfast potatoes. My wife's fish was such a small portion it was unbelievable. Captain Highliner fish portions are larger than this. The chips appeared to be from leftover pieces they had laying around. My breakfast potatoes were apparently sliced on a mandolin for such an even sliced potato. The sliced potatoes deep fried were terrible. The bad spots in the potatoes (like black, I dare say rotten but don't know) were left on and deep fried. Those areas were black. Didn't dare eat them. I am surprised there isn't better quality control.
We have eaten here in the past passing through but this is the final time we will stop. Oh, and the price of coffee is almost 3 dollars and a refill is almost two dollars.

Went here for supper with my husband and ordered 8 oz ribeye dinner, was told they ran out of mashed potatoes, (at 5:30 on a Saturday) ordered rare with rice.
My rare steak came out of the kitchen, seared on the outside and still cold to the touch inside, waitress did not come back to check on us so my husband took it to the bar and complained, they came to the table and told me it could not be cold because it came out of the kitchen right away.
I said it was cold from not being cooked. And asked for the lasagna as a replacement
The lasagna came, three noodles in a sweetened marinara sauce with baked cheese on top, soggy garlic bread and a Caesar salad with no dressing.
(Also did not replace my utensils)
My husband told her he was not paying for my meals, just our drinks and his meal(also steak, ordered med rare, came medium) she said she could not throw away that much food and needed to call her boss.
Comes back to the table to tell us her boss looked at the video and our meal looked perfect, (what restaurant has cameras that can zoom in like that lol and routinely zooms in on customer food?creepy)told us we needed to pay for all 3 entrees and if I wanted she would send my steak home with us since it was still sitting on the counter half an hour later.I told her I would agree to my husbands meal and the lasagna since it could be considered just a taste preference, still never got a second drink lol
I was told that rare steak always comes cold in the middle, that’s what rare is.
$70 and I didn’t get to eat horrible food, horrible attitude do NOT recomend

A popular spot that seems to have lost its edge in both service and food quality.
We were hosting another couple and were not pleased. Bacon and eggs were Ok but the accompanying potatoes were heavily fried and lacking taste. Two of us asked for jam for our toast and we were given one tub to share. The wait for our meal was well beyond normal diner standards and coffee refills were almost impossible to get.
I am used to paying a bit more in the north but $61 for 4 medium sized breakfasts seems a lot to me.
We will give it a pass next time we are in town.

Delicious home made lasagna, bread, and Caesar Salad. Big portions. We waited a while for the food and did not mind since everything was made fresh.

We went as a family for lunch and was extremely disappointed. I ordered my meal and asked for the ingredients in the wrap. The waitress mentioned cheese and I said twice NO CHEESE. I made sure she understood me. When the food came out, mine was a few minutes after everyone else. This was during the heat wave, 1st big meal I consumed, and it didn't taste right. I looked in the wrap and there was cheese. I was sick in the restaurant washroom. I'm lactose intolerant, I cannot take dairy. The waitress went to the table when I was sick in washroom, and said I should specify why NO CHEESE. When I walked back to the table to go home, she pulled me aside and said it's not their fault since I never mentioned I was lactose intolerant. She made me feel like it was my fault that she screwed up. I eat out often enough and never did I got told to specify reason for NO CHEESE.
NO CHEESE means NO CHEESE, preference or intolerance.

I have been here often, breakfast, lunch and dinner. It can be hopping here but the staff are always friendly and on the ball. The food is very good and the portions more than ample.

Please do not go here! By far the absolute worst breakfast I’ve ever had! Ice cold to the point that pre-cooked sausages were still partially frozen and had not seen the pan! Staff were not welcoming and friendly.

We needed a nice breakfast to get us launched on a travel day, and this is exactly the place to stop. Very good "truck stop" food, in a nicely decorated restaurant, with pleasant staff and fast service, at a reasonable price.

The portions were adicate but had to search for the pork on the pork dinner. Price wasn't bad (expensive for more bread than pork)

The restaurant was busy but the staff did their best to get us seated promptly. They were all friendly and worked really hard to make sure everyone was satisfied.
Our food was really good.

My brother and I were up on a snowmobile trip, and we stopped in at Gilli's for dinner, and was absolutely delicious! Definitely a great place to eat right on Hwy 11.
