“Food portions are fantastic and the flavour never disappoints, ever. Their Naan and Korma is by far my most favourite. I also give a huge shout out to the delivery driver, it’s always the same gentleman who delivers our food and he’s just the nicest guy. We always look forward to our next “dinner date night” because we know we’re headed for Everest!!”
“Dined here August long weekend with a baseball team. Brandon was our server he was AMAZING, he went above and beyond. Bills were organized by player number and everything was correct when it came time for payment. Even the teenagers commented on how great of a server he was.
The food was delicious and quick. As far as team dinners go this was one of the best. Thanks Kelsey’s Brantford.”
“The four cheese spinach dip was flavorful, but its small serving size didn't quite justify the price, On the other hand the Smokewood hot brisket sandwich was a highlight, meat is tender, crispy bread made for a satisfying combination, although sourdough bread might have elevated it further. The accompanying gravy was excellent, The sweet potato fries were crispy and some of them were soft, I asked the person to sit on the dining room side She said there was a 25 minute Wait, person did it in a rude tone, so I just sat on the bar side. I also posted this on Tik Tok”
“Last night we ordered through Skip and one of the items was missing. We called and the manager said one would be dropped off right away. He also asked what kind of dessert we would like. We’ve always loved Zanders, the food is great and service is always wonderful. We have experienced two ultra minor hiccups that they have always gone above and beyond to correct. Top notch guys!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“We had a delightful experience at the Brantford Eastside Mario’s thanks to our Server Aidan Shaw. He was so amazing! He was one of the best servers that we ever had in Ontario! He educated us on all the new menu items, he explained how the “all you can eat works” and took the time to ensure that we made the best choices. We had no idea you could change up your pasta and add sides like meatballs to your dishes! Aside from Aidan’s great service, the kitchen was fast, Wally the Robot was helpful, and the other Servers and host staff all made a concerted effort to work together as a Team! Thank you for a fantastic experience. You guys deserve much praise for all your hard work!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“😁At The Bronte Farmers market (Oakville) 7.27.25 purchased a spelt sourdough bread from AP Bakery - Amazing, best sourdough bread ever. I usually don't eat the insides of the bread as I find it too doughy, but this was not the case I ate everything, I cut one slice and had to go back for another - my husband did the same....if you like sourdough you must try the AP bakery spelt sourdough....thank you AP Bakery.”
“I was there when a most miserable couple seemed to be doing the squeaky wheel routine "you're getting 1 star!" I dare them to taste the food and still rate badly. Impossible! The food is too good. The pick up service desk girl was calm and cool, and so nice, in spite of customers trying to ruin her night.”

“Visited this spot for a casual hangout and it didn't disappoint. The indoor golf is a unique and enjoyable experience, suitable for all skill levels.”
“The service was so slow last night . This is the second time and we will not be back. We were there about 4.45. There was hardly any help. My partner is handicapped and we sat at the tables. Finally got out food and it was great. Once we got a server she was very nice.”

“I have really enjoyed my food from here and felt it was great food at reasonable pricing. I loved that we could add 5 toppings for free.
Sadly, the recent change to charging for toppings (0.50 for a sauce??) Means I won't be eating here nearly as often. Getting too expensive.”
“I’d 100% recommend Hudson Public! I’ve been here well over 100 times and it’s always a great time. Never had a bad experience and food always comes out great. My friends and I generally sit on the patio as it’s dog friendly so I always took my golden retriever Liam up until he had to cross the rainbow bridge and they always made sure to bring him water the second we got there. The way all staff there treated Liam with love, for that alone I’ll always recommend them! But, since we keep having great times here I’ll always continue going here! Yes, sometimes they’re insanely busy and we wait a bit for our food or drinks. We don’t complain because we understand and we just enjoy each other’s company. ❤️”
“I needed to add to my previous post. The pepper crusted roast beef(yes, it's true) is SOOOO good at this buffet, I would go just for that. Bring a couple buns and make a sandwich OR get a plate full(slice it yourself) with au just and horseradish. WOW!!!! AMAZING!!! Chinese food is plentiful and delicious too. Oh, one more thing, they have a waffle machine to make fresh waffles with plenty of toppings.”
“We had an awesome experience for dinner tonight. Hailey was excellent! She was very friendly and helpful. We needed to have our dog with us and the staff were supportive and sat us on their patio. The food was great. Best chicken tenders ever according to our teenager. Fast, attentive service. Great spot!”
“Always a good burger here. The quality here is always the absolute best, furthermore the servers here especially Austin, and Wes are real friendly too. I recommend the Tragicially Maple, however with any burger on the menu you can’t go wrong!”

“This is one of two McDonald's restaurants in Brantford that we go to every day. What's preventing me from giving 5 stars is the fact that they only manage to get our coffee orders correct 80% of the time. This location is a little worse than the Colborne St. W. location.”
“I've been here 3 times. Two of those times were nice. Just the service you expect. One time I was going back home overnight though, and the fries they gave me were barely even warm, and they were soggy. I only found out about this like two minutes later on the highway, and I wasn't gonna go back 10 km to go complain.”
“not impressed with this tim hortons & they treat people in need im sure they can afford to give to people in need when they are going through hard times and be kind & generous instead of rude & ignorant im actually ashamed on how they treat people that need help”
“Just went in for a dollar drink but this is my neighborhood McDonalds so I frequent almost daily. Find the staff not so friendly but always messing around behind the counter, not that that is wrong I believe you should have fun at work but found frequently that the orders in store and drive through are most times wrong or the food is cold. I think that they need to pay more attention and verify correct orders before handing to the customer.”
“I wish I didn't live a few hours away! last time I went through I ordered 10 different half pound flavors because I just couldn't choose!!!!”
“Gus and his staff hosted my 80th birthday celebration for my family and friends. The service and food were superb and the staff were unfailingly efficient and friendly. Occasionally Gus came by to check that things were going well. We have dined many times at the School House including our wedding and the reception that followed. We have never been disappointed. We intend to return many times.”
“We've been here a few times now, everytime we come in the restaurant is a clean comfortable atmosphere and the gentleman who works here is so friendly! The food is amazing and the amount you get for the price you pay is a great deal! 10/10 recommend this new little spot!”
Takeout Restaurants
“We were passing through on our way to Niagara falls and on recommendations fron the reviews decided to try this restaurant. From stepping in, to the explanation of the specials, it was superb. I chose the pasta with seafood, but modified the combo, no problem. The food was piping hot and delish! The tiramisu that ended our meal was wonderful too. I'd definitely go back. Try it for a special occasion, you won't be disappointed.”

“My son eats at APNEA a lot and always says how great it is, and tonight we ordered takeout it was great ! Great flavour, great customer service, truly well worth it. Yummy!😋”

“Without a doubt, the BEST fried chicken I have ever had, and the service at the Brantford location was so good and friendly, totally give it a 10/10”
“First time here. The chef was removing j*** chicken from the sidewalk grill, and the aromas drew me in. I was not disappointed. The food was delicious, the service friendly and helpful, the lunch portion size perfect, and the price reasonable. I look forward to returning to try the curried goat!”
“My fiancé Tammy and myself decided to stop in on Saturday, and order food for dinner. The menu looked amazing and it was difficult to decide what we wanted because it all looked so good. We both decided on the Super Bowls, and were very pleased with our choice, and the amount we were given. The service was excellent and they took the time to go over all the choices that came with the Super Bowls. We’ll definitely be going back to try more food from the menu.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’ve always loved Ring A Wing for having the best wings and prices in town, but tonight they proved why we choose them time and time again. We accidentally set our $50 pickup order to their London location (an hour away 😩). Tired, frustrated, and now food-broke, we called the London store and were told there was nothing they could do. But in dealing with the Brantford location, they ended up making our order fresh and said they would work it out with the other location themselves, even though it’s a separate owner and was going to be a major hassle for them to sort out. Not to mention the loss in goods. They could have told us “sorry, nothing we can do either, - sorry you’re dumb for making this mistake…” but instead, they made our problem their problem - and that is what amazing local business looks like. I can’t believe the generosity and amazing service. We are so incredibly grateful, and it just made us love this place even more. If you’re wondering where to get wings in Brantford, Ring A Wing is it. Best wings, best prices, and more importantly - best people. Highly recommend!”

“Grabbed some ribs at Crazy Canuck Smokehouse in Holmedale at 124 Morrell St. in Brantford. The neighbourhood (and all down Duffering Ave) is participating in the Home Hardware giant inflatable Santa Challenge and there are sooooo many giant Santa’s on lawns - it was cool. As for the ribs? If you know, you know. The best in town! Five stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“This wonderful experience started with Ed’s warm welcome as soon as we entered. His passion for cooking is reflected in his attentive and energetic preparation of incredible and creative waffles. The choice on the menu is great, and definitely beckons for repeat visits. As much as we enjoyed the excellent food, we also loved chatting with Ed and learning more about the passion and vision for offering innovative and delicious waffles! Highly recommended!!!!”
“Was there April 29. Great food and our server was fantastic. If you go ask for Justus to serve you. He’s delightful.”
“My honey and I went to this place for the first time today. We really enjoyed ourselves. The staff is so welcoming and attentive. The best part is that it is a pet friendly patio. We also met some pretty cool people. I recommend you try it! we did not try the food, however it sure did look tasty 😋”

“My husband and I had lunch here yesterday and it was amazing! The staff member who handled us (listed as “Manager” on the receipt) was AMAZING! He was so friendly and kind, offered amazing menu suggestions and was overall just a very nice guy! We will be back for sure. Thanks for a wonderful experience!”
“I recently started coming to this location only to find my new favourite booster juice. Maya has such a friendly and welcoming energy , good customer service is so hard to find these days. The smoothies are always amazing and I definitely recommend the oatmeal energy bites.”
“August 4th, 2025 We were seated at a booth. I went to sit and the seat was covered in multiple long blonde hair. The waitress said it must have been from another customer. This made me wonder if the table had even been cleaned The cutlery had pieces of food stuck to it and there were cob webs in the window sills on the inside of the window at the booth we were seated at. When the cutlery was replaced the waitress placed on the table holding the business end, not by the handle. When our food came there was hair in the food. We were given excuses and offered our meal to be replaced. Needless to say our appetite had disappeared, we left and will not return.”
“I wish I could give them 5 stars. It is a really good pizza. The dough is good, the ingredient quality is good, and the topping amount is generous. Also, the price is competitive and their customer service is good.
The only reason is not a 5 stars pizza for me is the sauce. And don't get me wrong, it is good quality, and some people say it's their favorite thing about the pizza place, but it is not of my taste. It has a distinct flavor that feels alien and kicks my taste buds in a way that screams 'this ingredient should not be here'. It is the fennel/light anis flavor that gives a licorice aftertaste. I understand in some places like Naples, sometimes it is used, but I can't stand it. And is not the flavor per se. I am used to the flavor in other dishes and even beverages. It is just not for pizza.
Most Italian pizzaiolos would say the secret to a good pizza sauce is to use good sauce tomatoes and to keep it simple.
Full disclosure, I've been to Italy and tried their different pizzas. Also tried pizzas in different countries and it is understandable that as in almost every dish, there are local variations to adapt to the local preferences.
I guess it is a personal preference. I wish I could just take the flavor out or just have the option of a traditional tomato sauce with no other ingredients.
I recommend the place and I will come back almost every time because it is the go to option in my household.”
“The most amazing food always, the chef is amazing and so is the staff! I’d love to keep this little gem a secret but it’s far to good not to share! Recommended 1000%. Ps leave room for dessert, the best cheesecake!”
“Owner was great, he was welcoming..service and food was good..they have all kinds of deals every day of the week...will definitely be going back”
“recently moved to Brantford and made our first visit 9/27/24 for dinner. Super friendly and courteous service, excellent food all homemade. left with takeaway boxes as the portions were so generous. Great value and not overpriced. Will be returning soon.”

“Pizza Roma is still the best place in Brantford to get Pizza and salad and wings for a decent price. When they say lg they mean large. They havent succumbed to shrinkflation. When I want an excellent Ceasar salad with great tasting ceasar dressing I call them. Their cheese n garlic bread fingers are not skimpy. The wings are also excellent. The hot sauce is just right. Very tasty food. Very satisfying. I like supporting Brantfords home grown Pizza place.”

“This is my favorite place for meeting friends to have a chat and catch up! The teas are outstanding and the choices amazing. The ambiance is lovely and the staff is caring, friendly and helpful. I recently attended with a friend and her 6 year old daughter who was greeted like royalty and made to feel very special. Just a special place.”
