This little family owned convenience store 5 minutes from the beach is also home to a grill with the best food in The County! Whatever you feel like eating - from wings to fish n chips to fried chicken, I promise you it will probably be the best you ever had! The Tambo is the best!

Kevin and his staff are wonderful people; honest, very kind and down to earth.
My wife and I (she worked here many, many years ago!) both had the poutine - it was fantastic.
Equal to if not better than anything you’d get in Montreal !
I noticed that all the grocery items are fresh too and very reasonably priced.
So don’t drive past The Tambo next time.
Stop in for your sundry grocery items and their delicious takeout food as well.
You will not be disappointed.

Amazingly good, greasy diner food. So tasty and so filling. The hidden gem is their fresh squeezed lemonade they sell by the litre for $5. Absolutely fabulous.

Food is delicious! We went everyday for the time we were there for. Unfortunately they're closed on Tuesdays so we couldn't get one last bite before our drive home, but we'll be back to try the chicken balls in the future!
To those visiting the area, the chicken bites with pineapple curry are to die for! Sweet and savoury, very fresh and crispy. Still craving for them. 😋

This place is unreal. The customer service? Actually no words—it’s THAT good. Everyone was so nice and made the whole experience feel way better than just grabbing snacks. Plus, the selection is amazing. They’ve got everything from classics to stuff you don’t usually find anywhere else. Definitely my new go-to spot whenever I’m craving something.

Great little convenience store and grill if you want to get a bite to eat before (or after) you hit up the Sandbanks. It's at 1368 County Rd 12, near the park.
It is a popular little place and has been around for years. It's beloved by the locals. Family owned. It used to be a gas station, but no longer.
You can bring your pooch - and eat in the outdoor area - lots of tables.
They have Kawartha ice cream and tons of yummy things on the menu. The burgers are delish - the poutine yummy. I like a crispy fry so (when I remember) I try to ask for the fries well done anywhere I go.
Portions are generous! We couldn't even eat all the poutine. The onion rings were so good too, omg, my fav.
Prices reasonable.
Staff are very friendly and kind.
It's open every day from 8-9pm but note that the kitchen is only open from 11-9pm.

I think I just died and gone to heaven, if I could give 10 stars I would! Hands down the very best poutine I've ever had. The bacon cheese burger was nothing short of outstanding, so juicy and huge! The deep fried pickles were perfectly crispy on the outside with crunchy pickle inside, also a best ever! The lady and gentlemen running things were so nice too ❤️ Only downside is I live too far away 😭

Came here on happen chance and my girlfriend said these were one of the best chicken fingers she’s ever had. Really good texture for the batter and chicken. Great stop en route to the sandbanks!
