“After the House of Lancaster’s unceremonious demise with Henry VI death, members of the matrilineal line fled to the Americas. Under fake aliases, they settled in Upper Canada, bided and waited, and in time, The Lancaster Smokehouse was born.That was all made up, but this food isn’t.Large carb portions and some delicious southern BBQ, it scratches an itch a lot of us have; to form an unrequited tryst with gluttony.The Nashville chicken was juicy and spicy, the tater tots are out of this world, and the other meats were solid (I would just avoid the ribs).”

The waiter seated us in the back corner at the worst possible table even though the restaurant was not busy and we had made reservations days in advance. Also extremely disappointing that they have no gluten free pasta dishes or pizza. Probably wouldn’t bother going back for that reason as there are very few options for me.”

“Came in for a quick bite to eat on Saturday. We sat at the bar. Our server was obviously new as he lied to us about what exactly was on the menu. Said the seafood pasta had a kick to it - it did not. He said the soup wasn’t chunky - it was. We also ordered a negroni which we watched him make and to my surprise it tasted nothing like a negroni & came with a dried orange wheel?.. Besides the service our food was amazing and the ambiance is great for date nights. None the less I’ll be back - hopefully sitting in the dining room with an actual negroni (for that price) and a server who just simply asks for assistance instead of lying.”

Short Finger Brewing Co. 20 Hurst Ave, Kitchener Brewery • $$

“This is one of the best breweries in Kitchener/Waterloo and Cambridge. Personally, it's one of the few breweries in Canada that come across entirely personable and incredibly welcoming to everyone. The owner is extremely helpful, enthusiast, and well-knowledgeable about all areas of their business. The available beers will rotate, so often you can try a variety of different delicious beers throughout the year but still pick up their staples which are absolutely fantastic (make sure to do yourself a favour and grab some Lando!) The prices are fair, the areas are clean/well managed, and I have never encountered an issue with the mulitple times I have attended this establishment whether if it was for concerts, going with friends or just stopping in for a beer after work. It is one of the few places I know that not only an adult can enjoy, but kids are welcome with their parents and even dogs, too! I wish there were more places like Short Finger Brewing Co. in Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge, but I am extremely happy we have this place as not only do they support the Region of Waterloo at every opportunity but host a number of events for Arts community and more. I know if I stop in, it'll never be for a quick visit because it feels like a home away from home. And honestly, I love that.”

Meatballs were nothing amazing, but pretty decent, Rustica was simple, but overall okay. Chicken was a little m e h. Annabella and the carbonara were great as well. But today was probably the worst experience. Gnocchi Con Gamberetti was extremely lemony. Overpowering all the other flavours, unfortunately. Was also missing the prosciutto in my dish, which just made me kinda sad haha. The Gnocchi itself would have been delicious had it not been for the overpowering lemon taste in the whole dish. Overall, more positive than negative here. But when it's an off day, it really stings to pay sometimes 30$ or more on a single dish that's just bordering on inedible due to flavour.”

Since then, I have found that many restaurants (especially those who call them burrito restaurants) often create burritos that are not wrapped probablyMy first Challenger, Burrito Boyz, located at 506 Wilson Ave close to Fairview Mall.The first picture is how it looked after taking my first bite. The second picture is when I'm finishing it. As you can see, the insides fell, but that's because these guys tried stuffing my burrito, thank you, but the wrap never fell apart. 5 out of 5 for these guys. Although if I had ordered it through Skip The Dish, and didn't get a fork, the raking would be 4 out of 5.”

Casa Rugantino 709 Belmont Ave W, Kitchener Italian • $$
709 Belmont Ave W, Kitchener

“My parents and I went on Saturday night to celebrate my sons graduation from Firefighter College. It's a lovely little spot with lots of natural lighting and neutral decor. Our waitress was wonderful. We each had a drink - I tried the Lemoncello Spritz - delish... and a salad to start. Everyone else had a caeser salad, and I had the caprese salad. It was so fresh with great flavors. My Dad's main was the seafood linguine which he was over the moon about, and my son had the Carbonara, which he said was comparable to the ones he had in Italy! My Mom and I were both very excited to have the lemon butter pasta with seared scallops. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the sauce was so flavourful, but to our disappointment, the scallops were very tough. Our waitress went and had fresh scallops done for us, which were better but still really hard on the outside. Maybe it was just that batch of scallops. They didn't taste bad, but they were tough to get through. Our waitress apologized and discounted our dinners. To our delight, they brought out a plate of congratulations dessert with chocolate cake and blueberry cheese cake for my son and 4 forks to share. Overall, it was a fabulous dinner at a great spot, and I highly recommend Casa Rugantino. Sometimes food quality is out of your control, but they handled it very professionally, and we appreciated it. We will be back!”

“I've been going to this pizza place for a while - I can confidently say it's become my go to choice when it comes to pizza.I usually just get a jumbo, or I go for the pizza and wings combo. They make a hot honey sauce for the wings that are surprisingly really good. The owner or the employee (I'm not sure who it is) has always been really awesome when it comes to making sure the order is done properly.In fact, there was one time where I forgot an ingredient on the pizza I usually get (hot peppers, bacon strips, and pineapple) that he actually let me bring the pizza back and he threw on extra bacon, and gave me free dipping sauces. He's the type of business owner where he respects the customer.”

“Depending on the day; service, food quality. Inconsistent. Could use more variety of vegetables for sides. Should change oil more often for fried foods. Wonder how much cross contamination occurs with multiple deep fried items being fried in the same fryers over and over again. Too nosey for dining though. Understand it’s a road house but music is not conducive for dinner. Would be helpful if bar area had a noise proof enclosure for dinning only customers. Lunch time, game time, I get it. But dinner time more families dine and don’t need to be subject to bar noise. Not sure what this roadhouse is trying to achieve. Ambience can be testy @ best from time to time. Great prices, ample parking.Vegetarian options: Could use more selections.”
