Restaurants in Chatham-Kent

“Let me start by saying the most important thing about this establishment: the hospitality in this restaurant is unmatched. Every single person that we interacted with from the beginning was extremely genuine, very engaged, and treated you so respectfully.

It was my first dining experience in Chatham, so I booked a reservation online. I didn’t realise booking the reservation would be so handy. The place was fully booked at 5pm! From the moment we walked in you could feel the warmth of the place (literally and figuratively - it was freezing outside). We were greeted by Gia who was extremely welcoming and very accommodating.

We were sat at the bar (really great vantage point of the kitchen/hustle and bustle) and we were able to speak to the staff and watch how they communicate with each other and other guests at the bar. This is where we met Rylan. He was sweet, respectful, engaging, attentive, and very social. It was refreshing to see the way he worked. Everything he did was done with so much care and attention. He made my mom a hibiscus margarita (delicious) and an Aperol spritz for me (also delicious).

We were a bit torn about what to order as there were so many great options but with the help of Gia and Rylan, we settled on a beet salad and a Margherita pizza to share. I was hesitant with the salad because I am not a huge fan of Gorgonzola cheese but I gave it a go. Let me tell you that this was the most delicious salad with everything that was in it: the pickled onions, candied cashews, green apple, roasted carrot, among others was extremely yummy. I would definitely recommend this dish and the serving was quite large.

It seemed like the place would be known for the pizza so we opted for Margherita. I loved that when it came out it wasn’t a perfect round shape. A nice artisan looking pizza! I also loved the size of the plate that it came on. I’ve tried a lot of pizzas and this one was unique because I could taste (what felt like) the garlic slices in the sauce. We finished it entirely, but as far as the dough and sauce, this wasn’t my favourite.

Lastly, I kept hearing them talk about the cheesecake so I wanted to try it but my mom also wanted to try the brownie but we only ended up ordering one. I went to the washroom to return and they had brought us both!! The cheesecake with a sparkler because I was there to celebrate my birthday. The brownie was delicious! The cheesecake was good too!

Overall, the staff were such a pleasure to interact with and the atmosphere/vibes were so good. As we sat by the entrance more and more guests were coming in to dine. If there was no one at the front or if they were on the phone, Rylan would stick his head out to greet them and kindly tell them someone would be right with them. That level of service to me is rare these days. It is so important to make your guests feel welcome and this restaurant does it very, very well. You can see the amount of care each and every team member takes to help out where necessary.

The decor as well was super quirky, yet elegant and warm. Everywhere you looked was something more interesting than the last. It was really well well decorated, maintained and clean! All the plates and glasses were so darn cute and unique too. There are some cute areas within the place and intimate tables for celebrations. If I lived in Chatham, I would definitely celebrate (another) birthday here. I have already talked about this place with a few friends in the GTA and cannot wait to come back. Thank you to the team for making it a memorable experience and for the shot and brownie dessert on the house!”

“I'm really impressed with the quality, freshness of the food and serving quantity. Polite, friendly and dedicated staff provides 100% customer satisfaction. I highly recommend this place. Great addition to the town.!”

“The food was absolutely amazing. We had the pickerel and fries, it was so good. the ribs are amazing too. Highly recommend. 👍”

“Another Wonderful experience and meal at Mamma Maria's tonight!! Our server was phenomenal and very knowledgeable about the menu. I wish I had gotten her name however , when asked to take a picture of our group , she added a photo of herself 🤣 so if you're in , please say HI & thank you! She's amazing!! The food was 5* all the way from the stuffed mushroom caps, to the daily chef specials & dessert. And leave room for the carrot cake cheesecake. You won't regret it! 🤤!! We will be back!!”

“Spice and curry is excellent the food is so fresh and tasty! The portions are really good. Doesn’t hurt that the people who own it are wonderful and very nice!! 10 out of 10”

“From the moment you pull up to the picturesque countryside setting you know you're in for something special. The rustic charm of the barn paired with the warm welcoming staff creates an atmosphere that’s both laid-back and unforgettable. The beer? Phenomenal. Every brew is crafted with care and you can taste the passion in every sip. They also host fantastic events and live music turning every visit into a celebration. It’s clear this place was built with heart and intention it's a true community hub where great beer and good vibes come together. Seriously, don’t wait - if you haven’t been to Red Barn Brewing Company yet, go check it out. You’ll love it!”

“Had the Roses special omelette and changed the cheese to feta and my friend had the grilled chicken wrap and both absolutely delicious! So kudos to whomever was cooking in the kitchen today!!”

“Just finished a late lunch at Renny’s after golf…I had the Brisket Tacos, my husband the Brisket Mac n Cheese…the brisket was as delicious as any brisket that we’ve eaten in South Texas! It had the perfect combination of smoke and flavour! Well done! Great menu and prices too! We will be back!”

“❤️Love Carol and all of the staff at the JazzBah!”

“As always whenever we are in Blenheim for family get togethers, it is fitting to say a stop in at this fine establishment for their famous panzerottis. You will never walk out with a dissappointed meal. Service 11/10 with endless coffee refills. Brought this home 3 1/2 hours away & sat down and had for dinner. Jack & staff you sure know how to please a family! Until next time!”

“Excellent service and excellent quality food!”

“Had the Goose cater for an afternoon celebration of life. They did an amazing job and everything was delicious. Saved us so much work. Definitely a great way to feed a larger crowd”

“We order from Godfathers in Chatham often. I was recently told to take gluten out of my diet. Their gluten free pizza is amazing!! I can still enjoy pizza!!”

“We enjoyed a fabulous local dinner tonight. Chick Pea Curry was just incredible. We can’t wait to try more Thank you for a fantastic meal🍪”

“Another amazing meal at the Venus”

“Have tried the cheesecake and donuts! Both so delicious and fresh. Amazing customer service as well. I would love to try their lunch but I work out of town so I unfortunately do have to miss out on that :(”

“Delicious food and fantastic wait service”

“lemme set the record straight — when it comes to real wood-fired pizza in the Burg, Quo Vadis is the one — just legit wood-fired flavour. There’s another spot in town that claims they got that wood-fired flava, but let’s be real… if there ain’t actual wood in the fire, it ain’t the same. Don’t get played. If you’re about that real pizza life QV is where it’s at. Big love to the crew back there making magic happen with fire and dough. Suzie, you’re the GOAT. 🔥🍕 💯 recommend. No cap. Don’t sleep on this”

“First time visiting today just before Christmas. I got a few bags of bagels to try, and they are absolutely yummy! Friendly staff. I will definitely be back. 👏”

“Kudos to Denise and her crew at Station 11. We needed a caterer to do a family supper. Denise at Station 11 came to our rescue and we could not have be happier. The supper was delicious. They were so very accommodating to our various family members…keto, vegan, vegetarian and our meat eaters. 50+ family members all gave them a huge thumbs up. I can’t say anything but great things about them. I’ll call them again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Denise for making our day so wonderful!”

“Great food at great prices. Each menu item is homemade. Hand packed burgers, fish dinners, homemade buns for the subs even. Daily specials.
Homemade soups, sandwiches and wraps available daily.”

“Thank you for pizza last night! We give you Top Five! Delish!⭐⭐⭐”

“Delicious ice cream, great service, very clean. Just wish there was more seating.”

“Excellent choice of menu from burgers and fries to Taco salad and more

Parking: Lots of parking in front of restaurant. May be difficult if it's super busy”

“Food is always good here. Bacon was cold but who cares it's bacon!”

“If you want food within 10 min this is the place if you take wjat they got ready. Workers know what they're in there for. Pizza is not like pizza Hut but also the price is not like theirs.”

“I’ve been all over the world. Travelling from city to city to find the best Subway. Today I stumbled across the one. This was the best sandwich I’ve had in my life and as soon as I bit into it, it was as though I’ve accomplished my life purpose. Hunter was incredibly friendly and nice. His sandwich making skills are on a whole another level. Please come here if you want retrobution.”

“Tonight I had a great experience at the Chatham Arby’s. My order was prompt and accurate. There were several customers in the drive thru and at the counter and it moved quickly. There were also several skip the dishes orders and I didn’t feel that I was made to wait because they were ahead of me. It appeared to me that they had staff designated to help all the customers equally.”

“Staff is exceptionally nice and a wonderful atmosphere. We went to do the burger challenge and I must say, it was fun, enjoyable and lots of laughs. Staff was amazing and made going back 3x for this challenge fun. Food was excellent and tasty. Will definitely be going back in the future.”

“as far as I am concerned your best asset is Karen. Karen is the best server we have ever encountered and couldn't ask for anything more. We live over 3 hours away but will always make it a point to come there and sit at one of her tables.”

“I love the food it is the best in town.”
