Great Breakfast
March 14, 2014Been here a number of times. They have a pretty good bacon/ham/sausages and eggs type breakfast. Portions are generous and price is reasonable. A good place to have breakfast.

Worst service I have ever experienced...EVER
February 18, 2014
Okay, the food was fine. The service from our waitress was absolutely appalling. Being a waitress involves more than taking the order and putting the food on the table. Really!
Some basics...ask if the customer would like parmesan/chili flakes to go with the pizza, ask if they would like a re-fill of their drinks, ask if they would like desert,...

Good food & service
January 11, 2014We've eaten here many times breakfast, lunch & supper, but this is the first time I've written about it. The food here is very good with a good variety of choices. They have daily specials for all 3 meal periods so good value for the $ as 'quantity' is more than enough! But I personally like breakfast as my 'favourite'... more

Good lunch
January 04, 2014Showed up for lunch with our hockey team, and were seated at a section of tables immediately. The hostess asked that we sit in families and not do the jersey # thing when ordering (which disappointed our kids a bit, but it was ok.) The menu was expansive, with something for everyone. Food came quickly, and all the orders were... more

A typical road side diner good for the family
December 20, 2013I was put off going here by the location but if your looking for a kid friendly place with hearty portions - you could do a lot worse.

Average service, average food
November 16, 2013
Staff don't appear to be very happy about working Sunday morning. Hostess didnt say two words to us, but the server was ok.
Breakfast decent. No complaints but nothing special either.

breakfast fit for a royalty
October 16, 2013The Thruway at first appears to be one of the many roadside restaurants which are usually shunned. Until you see the expansive parking lot full of cars and people waiting at the door. However, parking space is always available and seating times are mercifully short. Then comes a most impressive menu, a smiling and pleasant hostess, a cup of steaming... more

A good stop for a comfort food breakfast
September 19, 2013
Breakfast menu was large and included the standards. The food was well cooked and to your specific requests. It is worth mentioning that it was high in sodium.
The staff were prompt and efficient while serving in a friendly and welcoming style. There was no rushing the people to turn over the table. In fact, they were generous with their...

Not as bad as what others had claimed
September 17, 2013I went to Thruway for a dinner with friends a couple of weeks ago - I read the reviews by accident as I was only looking for directions - but stopped to read the tripadviser comments at the same time. Yes the food is diner style - but the plates were quite full and the prices were reasonable. If you... more

Keep Driving, Poor Service, Poor Food Quality
August 04, 2013
I came to Carleton Place on Business, this restaurant was across the street from the hotel I was staying at, and I thought why not give this place a try.
I was seated very quickly, and the restaurant does seem clean. As soon as I was given the menu, which was at least 6 pages if not more I knew...

July 08, 2013We stop at this restaurant whenever we go to Ottawa. I love their breakfast. The service is always friendly and quick. The meal is delicious and very reasonable. I never go through Carleton Place without stopping at the Thruway.

Food and service excellent
June 07, 2013We were treated and seated immediately ,waiter friendly and attentive . I had the hot turkey sandwich and my wife had the club sandwich. Both were excellent and were served very quickly. Although the desserts looked good the meal was so filling that we chose to not have any. The only down side was the water that tasted bad so... more

Early breakfast, no real service
May 22, 2013Enjoyed the breakfast. Only people in the restaurant, but server was busy getting other things together. Food was good and hot, but slow with water and coffee refills.

Great for breakfast
May 12, 2013
My girlfriend and I moved to CP a little over a year ago and have since done our best to try all the local stops. Thruway's breakfast is hands down the best. Potato medallions are magical.
After going for breakfast about 8 times in the past year and a bit, we decided to finally try their dinner menu. With such...

Always dependable
May 02, 2013This large eatery right on the busy Highway 7 in Carleton Place welcomes with its huge parking lot. There are usually specials, but the tried and true dishes, like grilled chicken souvlaki with rice and gorgeous potatoes, and a Greek salad, and like great pizzas, and yummy burgers, and Italian stalwarts like lasagna, spaghetti and more pasta delights, all are... more

A Great Stop on the way to a Sens Game

Definitely need to rethink staff
March 10, 2013Thruway has been a restaurant I have always recommended to many people and have gone to for years and LOVED. It was my mom's birthday and, while the location is no longer convenient to all of us, she insisted that this is where she wanted to celebrate. So we all made arrangements to meet up there. Sadly, I don't think... more

Horrible ... to say the least
February 28, 2013
Let me start off by saying I am not one to complain about restaurant food, ever. I never send my plate back, never ask the waiter to change anything or give me more of this, less of that etc.
This was my first time at Thruway and it was disgusting. We were in and out in probably about a half...

Great Breakfast
December 20, 2012We go to the Thruway once a month for breakfast. The food is good and it's always packed which says others agree with me. It's a good stopping off place to eat on your way somewhere, not a destination for a meal. That said, it's good value, the place is clean and the service is fast.

Great family restaurant
February 21, 2012It was obvious this restaurant was a good place to go as there were always a lot of cars in the parking lot. I had breakfast, lunch and dinner here over a weekend while I was in town. Good service, tasty food. Pizza was really good and breakfast was great value. Served fast and hot.

Great Food
October 31, 2011We went for a birthday dinner with family. The service was prompt and friendly. The menu is quite varied, from Greek to Italian to American. If you can't find something to your liking, you are way too fussy. The portions are generous and my son says the veal parmesan is the best. The kabobs sure looked good. We will certainly... more

Very Average Restaurant
December 03, 2009
I see Trip advisor cleaned out all the previous comments. With that said...
Don't let the title fool you. You will get a quality meal at a reasonable price.
Breakfast is very good, served fast, and still hot when you get it.
Service is above average except for the host staff who seem to not be able to multi-task.

Not Your Average Off-Highway Restaurant
August 04, 2009I have been by this restaurant many times and never stopped in until just recently: first for lunch and then for supper. The restaurant is large and "country-homey" in style, with a pleasantly chiming clock and a mural of sun-kissed clouds on the ceilings. The dining area is very clean and the washrooms are as well, although one is out... more
