I've been going to Ted Peters for over 20 years, and I became use to the poor service and attitudes from the employees. It was kind of a joke to my friend and I over the years as to how long it would be until we got service at the small bar area out front. In the early 90's we would go there on a Sunday to eat and watch a little football on their 20" T.V. We would sit there for 15 to 20 minutes with no menu, drinks or food in front of us, most employees would ask us what the score was even though they could plainly see we had no drinks or menus. Even the manager would stand right by us talking about the game but never asked us if we needed anything. After a while of being ignored, I guess the wait staff realised we weren't going anywhere and would serve us. We looked at it as part of the "experiance" and just delt with it. That was when I was a single young guy with a whole day to waste. I hadn't been there since the late 90's and went back there last week; what a HUGE MISTAKE!!! The prices have gone way up while it seems the portions have gone down. The service is still horrible, I think their servers are ex-driver's licence office employees. My friend and I basically had to argue with the server to get extra napkins and a refill of our drinks, it's like they train the servers to be rude. The fish spread is still awesome and the salmon is really good but to expensive for what you get now. Anyhow, I wouldn't take anyone there again, I might go back sometime when I feel my ego needs to knocked down a notch or two, or when I want to be left alone.

Insider Tips

The Extras

Be sure to visit the next-door smokehouse. Smoked fish is, of course, available for sale--but it's fascinating to see the old-fashioned smoking method in action.
