The Windmill is a Stratford legend. My wife used to go there as a kid...some 52 years ago. The hot dogs are awesome-the Chicago, the Classic!! Hummel hotdogs of course! They also have an incredible sampler...pierogi, kielbasa, bratwurst, and potato pancake.
It also has an old school Tavern feel...right in the middle of a residential neighborhood.
Great service too!!

Great meals for a great price! The classic hot dog and hamburger prices are unbelievable. The portions are large and the apps are definitely shareable.

The staff was friendly and nice. He had some nice suggestions and gave the kids some crayons and coloring sheets. The food came out quickly but it took a bit of time for us to get our bill since the bar had gotten busy.

The restaurant has an interesting set up. There is the kitchen but...

Walking into the windmill is like taking a step back into an old neighborhood bar. The atmosphere is great. The food is very good and is reasonably priced. There are many drinks and beers available. They specialize in bar type food with a nostalgic appeal. Definitely a great neighborhood bar to check out and eat. Make sure to try their hot dogs, that is what they are famous for.
