“Brownstones Community Spotlight: Tin Fiddler Every great city needs a few spaces that feel like a little escape and Tin Fiddler delivers that vibe in spades. Nestled downtown, this uniquely hip spot drips local. From the custom design touches to the energetic back patio that fills up fast when the sun’s out, this is the kind of place that makes you forget you’re in a small town and feel like you’ve stepped into something bigger. We’ve got to give credit where it’s due Mia, the owner, has carved out a name that carries weight in Sarnia’s food scene. She’s a force, and it shows in everything from the atmosphere to the team she leads. And yes… we’re big enough to admit it: they serve the best Whiskey Sour in Sarnia (we’ve tested, trust us). Plus, their in-house beer, River Run, is a must-try locally brewed and smooth as it gets. At Brownstones, we know how much hustle goes into building something authentic and Tin Fiddler is exactly that. Respect where it's due. If you haven’t checked it out yet, this is your sign.”

“Catered a holiday event for us with 75 people and the food was absolutely delicious! All staff were so happy with the freshness and variety of great tasting bagels and wraps. Above all else, was the service- friendly and accommodating people that are genuinely happy that you are there!!”
“Brownstones Spotlight: Blackwater Coffee Tucked into the heart of downtown Sarnia is a place that doesn't just serve coffee it defines it. Blackwater Coffee isn’t simply a café; it’s a benchmark of style, quality, and entrepreneurial spirit. Long before downtown’s resurgence, Dave the visionary behind Blackwater committed to something greater than just brewing beans. He built an atmosphere. A vibe. A standard. With a relentless work ethic and an eye for design, Dave created a space that feels as good as the coffee tastes. Every cup at Blackwater tells a story of craftsmanship, consistency, and community. And if you've ever been, you know the truth: once you've had Blackwater, you find yourself craving that next cup before you've even left the block. At Brownstones, we know what it takes to build something meaningful in this city. That’s why we’re proud to spotlight Blackwater Coffee a true local gem and a cornerstone of what makes Sarnia special. Here's to Dave, to his incredible team, and to many more years of caffeinated excellence.”
“It was our first time trying the place . The complimentary bowl of lental soup was absolutely amazing we ate it while we waiting for our meal to be ready. Then when we got the take out bowls the portion size was crazy. My bowl lasted me 3 meals. I think we found our new favorite restaurant. We will definitely be back.”
“GIANT shoutout to Melissa at East Side Mario’s Sarnia!!! I ordered food online, there was a mix up with the driver, she requested a door dash driver to come and there was a mix up there.

“A Toast from Brownstones to a True Local Staple Sideways At Brownstones, we’ve always believed that great food and atmosphere can bring a community together. That’s why we want to shine a spotlight on one of Sarnia’s true downtown gems Sideways, the brainchild of local hospitality visionary Sean Barlow. Sean has long been a pioneer in shaping Sarnia’s food and drink scene. Back in 2007, he introduced something completely new to the city Limbo Lounge, Sarnia’s first-ever martini bar. At a time when most played it safe, Sean was already thinking two steps ahead, creating experiences that elevated what nightlife and dining could be in our city. Fast forward to today, and Sideways continues that legacy a cozy, stylish bar with fantastic food, curated drinks, and a staff that makes you feel like you’ve just walked into your favourite spot (because you have). It’s the kind of place that reflects not just great taste, but a clear and consistent vision. As fellow operators in this ever-evolving local restaurant scene, we don’t just recognize Sean as a competitor we recognize him as a trailblazer. His commitment, creativity, and contributions have helped raise the bar for all of us, and we at Brownstones genuinely respect and celebrate that. Here’s to Sideways a true downtown staple, and to Sean Barlow a name that deserves to be mentioned whenever we talk about the leaders who’ve helped shape the culinary heartbeat of Sarnia. With respect, The Brownstones Team”

“Went with a party of 5. Was greeted by Julie who was very friendly and accommodating. Food was very good. We asked to move seats as it was a little cool near the door. No fuss was made and they were very happy to reseat us. Fun atmosphere and our waitress was excellent.”
“Really can't beat A&W onion rings. If you're not upgrading your fries you're missing out. Pair it with honey to dip and you have a winning combo.
Came by for Chubby Chicken combo with my wife. We had a coupon but forgotten it at home... the cashier was kind enough to still help us out to get a deal!
The sandwich itself was good but seems like their Chubby Chicken has been working out, not as chubby as I would have liked.”
“Fantastic time for our staff party. Great spot for fun large gatherings. We all had a blast and food and service was awesome!”
“Went fo a friend's birthday on Nov 14 and can't say enough good things about Tang's. The food was delicious and the service was awesome. Stephan came out and was very gracious and friendly to our table and many others. The staff did an awesome rddition of Happy Birthday.One the top restaurants in Sarnia.”

“Junior Baker made my husband’s 30th birthday cake. It was a hockey/Toronto Maple Leaf theme and they created a cake that looked like an ice rink with 3D nets and a detailed Toronto Maple Leaf logo in the middle - truly incredible. The cake was delicious. It was a vanilla cake with a custard filling. We were so impressed. I highly recommend this bakery! We will definitely order more desserts in the future.”
“We frequent there quite often and the food, atmosphere and staff are great. Today wasn't one of your stellar moments. There was a number of items on the menu that wasn't available, and they closed the doors at 6pm because they were out of certain food and equipment failure. People enjoy going there. You need to get your act together or you're going to end up closing the doors.”

“Went here as part of a business dinner. And wow oh wow, was so impressed with the selection of food, the execution and the quality! We had the calamari, baked Brie, lamb lollipops and coconut shrimp and then various entrees. Lola’s was such a great experience that non-locals got to experience as it was so highly recommended by locals. Would definitely love to come back and try all the food menu items.”
“So I'm home from AZ. Haven't been here for about 7yrs, & it's been an even longer time since coming to Port Huron. Up here to hang out w/ my awesome niece & nephew they bring me here. I ordered the Fried Fish sandwich & had the Mushroom soup w/ it. Boy that soup was some of the best I've had. Can't wait to come back & have more. Thanks for the great service too!!”
“Unique review as a compliment to the chefs. This was our favorite Indian food that weve ever eaten. We recently moved to New Brunswick ~2 years ago and we've been craving spice n ice for ages. Family came to visit via trailer and we asked them to pick up palak chicken, 4 orders of it and freeze it and bring it to us. So we just sat down to eat Spice n Ice about an hour away from Fredericton NB. I wonder if spice n ice has ever been enjoyed any farther away than ours. This is our new tradition, any visiting family shall buy passage with spice n ice 🤣”

“I love Soups Up! It has the most delicious selection of soups, sandwiches, baked goods and more, and the staff is always so friendly and kind, even when they’re super busy. The other day I arrived to get my take out order, and had my tiny infant in a car seat with me. One of the staff members insisted on carrying my order out to my car for me, so I could manage without dropping anything, and the gesture was so appreciated. I come here often and will continue to do so :)”
“Mahi and team are exceptional. A cut above the rest. He's a businessman who is easy to get along with and a great sense of business acumen.”
“being the only bar with decent pool tables open till 2am. you can always get yer game on either by shooting pool or just watching a game on one of the 8 big screens. or rock out to your favorite hits on the most played juke box in town. or just join the others that come in just to see the cute bartenders or the one ugly one. whatever your pleasure be, you'll find it here! Gotta check it out if you haven't yet. it all happens at the "zoo"”

“As one who has severe allergies(wheat and turkey), I HIGHLY recommend Pita Pit. I have been twice now since hearing of their gluten free pita and both times have been phenomenal. The first time the man who did up my order changed his gloves three times to lower the cross-contact for wheat. Second time the woman who did my meal up kept track of what she was doing and was making sure she didn't touch anything else while making my pita, but also used paper towel to hold the sauce bottles! Never before have I been to a place that is well educated on allergies and takes them very seriously. They are #1 place in my book now!!”
“We ordered kizhi beef porotta, kizhi beef biriyani, kappa biriyani and fish nirvana for lunch. Everything was yum, no words to describe. Would highly recommend this place. Also we had egg puffs which was chood chood n crunchy.
Only drawback which we faced was finding the door, which is a small one, got confused.
It is just opposite malabari bistro”
“Visited here for first time and it was amazing. Place is clean and spacious. We order whopper meal and it was delicious. Fries were so crispy. Burger was juicy and fresh. They followed instructions so well. Staff is friendly and polite.
Washrooms are so clean. Would certainly visit again”
“If you’re looking for great tasting Jamaican food you must try Champs. I’ve tried every Jamaican restaurant in Sarnia and this place is hands down the best. It took me a long time to try it as I was sceptical but this place does not disappoint. The curry goat, stew chicken and soup is absolutely delicious 😋”
“Friendly and kind staff. Fresh ingredients and homemade dough. Not the frozen factory style crusts. The atmosphere is like going home to your mom's kitchen. The staff encourages you and has more heart towards their customers. Support your ma and pa shops. I would recommend this establishment 10/10.”
“thanks for another great lunch cheeseburger poutine and my brother ate buffalo chicjen sandwhich. emmm mmm good”

“Dave and I ate at Crabby Joe’s this evening. Dave had a BLT and fries and I had the ribs fries and had ordered a side Caesar salad. There was a misunderstanding about the menu and this was clarified by Emma. Later, there was an error made regarding the agreed-upon choices and Emma. Was proactive in correcting the problem satisfactory demonstrating good business practice.
We encountered more than one assistant or server, but it was Emma with whom we had the most contact. Emma was pleasant, engaging, personable, sensible, knowledgeable, professional, and a good problem solver.
Oh ya… And the food was excellent :-)”
