“These guys are great! . Quick service. (They filled it while I went in to pay) they have a great variety of bbq's supplies , propane adapters and cables , pizza ovens etc. Plus theyre kind of fun and relaxed. Gotta love rural towns (lived in some myself). One of the few places around selling propane without exchange of tanks only. -thx Max Propane. Made our lives easier.”

“Went on a Friday afternoon and was somewhat disappointed that only 2 of the 4 pumps were in service. The line was very long so we ended up going up the road to another station with the same price for gas.”

“Great to have a local gas station Right beside the highway. Quick and friendly staff but it's a little bit awkward to get In-N-Out of as it is very small and right at a busy intersection”

“Excellent Service and Clean Facility! I had a great experience at this gas station. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional. The pumps are modern and well-maintained, and the entire area — including the restrooms and convenience store — was clean and organized. Prices were competitive, and I appreciated the quick service and safe environment. Definitely my go-to spot for fuel and snacks during long drives. Highly recommended!”

“Congrats to Blair and Don, on their retirement! They helped me out before a few times and are honest, good Mechanics that tried to find affordable solutions for their customers. I always recommended them first, when someone asked for a good Mechanic. You will be missed! Best Mechanics in North Bay, in my book! Enjoy your well deserved retirement, gentlemen. Thank you.”

“Great food, great quick service. Not a big fan of the coffee. Also having to go into the convenience store to pay for our meal is a tad inconvenient and a pain when the people that are paying for their gas are in line too.”
3790 Trout Lake Rd, North Bay ON P1B 8Z4
“Friendly staff with full service fuelling offering grocery, confectionary, and useful camping and cottage supplies. Firewood and propane are available. One large drawback is accessibility, reference the front steps. Also gas prices I find are often higher than other locations on the average day.”
1000 Algonquin Ave, North Bay ON P1B 4X7
“This is my go-to Esso station, and it's always a great experience. The station is clean, well-maintained, and easy to get in and out of, but what really makes this location stand out is the customer service. I'd especially like to recognize Malcolm for doing such an amazing job. He's always friendly, welcoming, and professional, and he consistently goes above and beyond to make customers feel appreciated. It's clear he genuinely cares about providing excellent service, and his positive attitude makes every visit a pleasant one. Employees like Malcolm are the reason I keep coming back. Thank you to Malcolm and the rest of the team for all your hard work—it's noticed and truly appreciated. I highly recommend this Esso to anyone looking for friendly, reliable service.”

“As much as they have everything they aren’t super friendly to non- locals. Great selection of alcohol. We spent good money and we we’re very polite but no smile was returned.”

“I went to Mac's Convenience at the Shell Gas Bar location, I was not feeling well and I was greeted by the two boys behind the cash soon as I walk through the door. They made my day and asked me how I was and said hello. They're so polite those guys that work in that place. Hats off to them! I like being welcomed like that.”
1000 Algonquin Ave, North Bay ON P1B 4X7
“This Esso is well positioned near the Hwy 11/17 artery and on Algonquin Ave. The location is clean, boasts new signage and is well maintained. It has ample gas pumps and an air station. The Tim Hortons, washroom, and ATM machine make this station an even more relevant one stop shop. This is one of the few automated car washes in North Bay. The drawback here is the high volume of vehicle and pedestrian traffic that make this a very difficult location to traverse and park at.”

“AAA I HAVE TO TELL YOU THEY’VE PULLED UP THEIR SOCKS HERE THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS. THE FRENCH TOAST IS LIKE NO OTHER. THEY MAKE THEIR OWN BREAD. THEY CUT THEIR OWN FRIES FRESH YOU WOULD NEVER THINK OF THIS PLACE OF HAVING GREAT FOOD. WELL, I AM TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED UNBELIEVABLE AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM ALTHOUGH YOU SHOULD LET THE WAITRESSES COLLECT THEIR OWN BILLS SO THEY GET PROPERLY TIPPED WHEN YOU GOTTA WALK AWAY AND PAY WITH INSIDE THE GAS STATION. PEOPLE ARE CHEAP AND THEY’RE NOT GONNA LEAVE A PROPER TIP. THERE SHOULD BE A MANDATORY 18% FOR THE WAITRESSES THAT’S FAIR.”
3090 ON-11, North Bay ON P1B 8G3
“So convenient and easy. If you have an esso Cardlock then this is a quick easy stop off the highway. In front of the Mack dealership so there isn't to much traffic compared to the fuel station before it.”
1403 Algonquin Ave, North Bay ON P1B 4Y6
“DONT LISTEN TO THESE BAD REVIEWS!! This is the BEST gas station I have ever been to !! they have everything and the guy at the till was so nice !! w gas station ?????”

Picture this: Three big screens in each restaurant, tracking how fast workers greet customers, take orders, and hand out food. It's not just for show - early results say it's making service 11 seconds faster on average. "These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains. The system creates a more interactive environment, fostering friendly competition between stores.
