Bad news. The new owners closed the left side of the business. No more counter where you could watch them make your food at the grill. That was the whole charm of the place. They cook in back now and you wait forever for the food. Several people were complaining that they got the orders wrong and waited too long. People don't want to go in and sit down and order. The place was known for its lunch counter, good hot dogs and fast service. It's all gone now. Why buy a place and totally change it? 50 years of tradition gone. It will be closed in no time.

The food was terrible. The hotdog was disgusting. The hamburger look like it was cooked two days ago. It is not the bart’s we all know and love. don’t think the new owners have a clue on how to make American food good!!! Also, the bathrooms were disgusting!! Would advise you stay away.

Ordered 2 simple hot dogs . One with mustard only , one with ketchup & relish. This next step should have warned me to run. Paid with a credit card . She handed me the receipt to sign . I laid it on the counter in front of me and signed . When I went to pick it up , it stuck to the filthy ancient wooden counter . After carefully peeling it off I handed it to my non English speaking waitress. We waited and watched as an older woman came in to order a coffee and her request for what she wanted in it was milk . That's it.... milk . Impossible to get that request through this waitresses thick skull. My orders up , so I take it and go back to my car. My wife opens her hot dog and it is drowned, I'm talking soaking wet , absolutely covered in ketchup and relish. COVERED. Did I mention Covered. So much there was no way to contort her arm/ hands to lift it from its wrapper with being covered in these soaking wet condiments . Moving on I open mine and it's covered in a river of ketchup. I bring it back in and "clueless" takes it from me and hollers through the 2 foot square hole in the wall , to the "nit wit" cook to make me another one. This time with the requested mustard . And this time , just a little bit of mustard. I wait and wait and wait for what seems like way too long to cook a hot dog on an already hot grill. He finally passes it through this 2 foot square hole to the waiting waitress. I go back to the car. My wife has finished Her hot dog after wiping it off with 7 napkins. I open my hot dog . Yup its mustard this time. But it looks like it ways lifted up with a pair of tongs and shoved into a baking pan full of mustard . I can only see the 2 ends of this hot dog and only the bottom half of the bun. We are laughing and my wife knows me well enough to stop me from going back inside and seeing if I can fit this into Gordon Ramsey's ear hole . I get out and throw it into the trash barrel along with my wife's napkin mess. I don't even go back in for a refund. Smart move on my part . No ambulance ? or paddy wagon. Stay away from the disgusting slop house restaurant. Seriously, you'll be sorry .

Wonderful as always. The owner Don Trinks, who is also the Mayor of Windsor always makes sure everyone is taken care of. An institution of the region.

Food was excellent. Indoor dining is one to pass on but the outdoor options are great. Sunny shade river view or handicap access. It’s a great place to stop.

Customer service is extremely rude. Especially Janet!

Shared business area with Bart's. Good baked goods and coffee.

Food was great, conversation with the gentleman behind the counter was also great. Very friendly staff. I’ll be back.

A BIG shout out to Don and the staff at Bart’s! I took my class of young adults to Bart’s for lunch today. Excellent food- something for everyone (even the pickiest of eaters). Nice outdoor area to eat. The staff were very friendly and accommodating to our needs. We’re already looking forward to visiting again next school year

My family and I have been coming to Bart’s for many years, my parents came here in their younger years as well. The car shows on wednesdays during the summer are nice to attend and see all the classic cars alongside the suped up newer cars. Grab a burger or chili dog and some fries or grab a cup of coffee and a scone from the beanery attached.

My hotdog appeared to be a leftover from previous day, and when I asked the kid, I believe owners son, if it was yesterdays dog, he just looked at me, confused. Plus the wife is nasty and needs a new career then looking pissed slinging day old hot dogs, road house cheaper, tasty, and way better vibe

I used to work in the area and would frequently stop by for a quick sandwich or coffee, the coffee I had today was different from that of a year ago. It was incredibly watered down and flavorless. Also there was an unbearable lingering stench in the sitting area that made it almost uncomfortable to sit there.

Would've liked to try their Turkey and stuffing sandwich but they were really slow I didn't want to make my husband wait 30 minutes after he finished his hot dog so I left to get something elsewhere.
