Kind of Sad ,Prospector used to be a great place to go we would visit once or twice a year since i first started living in Thunder Bay(20 Years).Last night will be the last time.The evening was doomed right from the beginning with the rude and unattentive bar staff and a long wait for dinner.
Our guest from out of town was served raw fish, hard to imagine why since it took near 40 min for it to arrive (we wern't charged for it).I also had the fish which was tender and perfectly prepared ???.Overcooked and tastless side vegtables .
What happened to this Franchise ? Prospector Burgers in Fort William was at one time THE BOMB but I stopped going about 4 years ago when the quality seemed to decline and i dont see the lineups like i used to so i assume nothings changed .Now the steakHouse which i noticed declining last few years but still made up for with the delicious Prime rib dinner. I ordered this last time i visited in june which when delivered to the table was not warm , tough and fatty (thats why i had fish this time ) .
MMMMMM Prospector buns **THE BEST** but not enough to make up for the rest of the meal
Anyway so long Prostpector i do miss you but i guess all good things come to an end.
had a delicious meal here and great service. most of us had the prime rib which was excelllent, one person had the salmon which was also great and one person had the salad bar and appetizer. The staff was great and really friendly, atmosphere is not fancy but we had a young child with us so the relaxed atmospeher was perfect. Buns were delicious, will be going back for sure.
We had moved away from Thunder Bay 10 years ago, even being in southern Ontario we never stopped talking about the Prospector. We recently returned and of course went back to see if it was still the best. Well, it was! Our server Stacy gave us the best service we have ever gotten in our lives. She was fabulous! The food was second to none and the buns, ahhhh the buns, need I say more. We will be going back every chance we get.
I have been there many times, and have never had any complaints. The food (especially the buns!) always tastes great. It's very easy to fill up on just buns!
We were referred by the hotel staff and this is the best place ever; the food, service and atmosphere was great. The only drawback was parking - because its downtown waterfront theres not alot of parking and of course its all paid parking but the food is worth the trouble. The fresh warm buns are to die for and its hard not to fill up on those causing you to get a doggie bag for the entree. We ordered chicken, prime rib, and of course steak which were all fantastic. We took our son (Lakehead student) and some of his friends and have decided to make it a tradition to go every year. I always make sure we get dinner here at least once during every trip to Lakehead U. I would suggest that with all those students and parents coming to visit that they advertise at Lakehead or at least ask Lakehead U to put them in the parent directory for out of towners as we were lucky to find it. The Nor'Wester Best Western gave me the 411 on the Prospector and for that I am ever greatful. Thunder Bay is our second home now and for at least the next 5 years so I'm interested in finding all the BEST places and this is on the top of the list!! I can't wait to go this April....yum, yum. The Staff and Management were so great to us and comped a desert. GREAT PR work. We are customers for life.
