“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. Melissa had my food remade and personally drove it to me at work!!! 11/10 stars for customer service ❤️❤️ Signed a very happy pregnant lady!”
“Best Pizza Around ,,authentic ?❤?hard to go elsewhere now! Best EVER”
“We went to big fish for the first time tonight and it was amazing! The staff provided quality service and offered to box food we were finished with as we went through our course which I thought was great instead of waiting to box when the entire meal was finished very nice touch for service! Hands down the best steak I’ve ever had in my life!!! We absolutely will be returning thanks again for a wonderful dinner”

“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.”

“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.”
“An Irish pub with a decent pint of Guinness on tap and also Magner's. The fish and chips are very good - would have preferred cod instead of haddock, but on the plus side they have malt vinegar. The Guinness Steak and Mushroom pie was also exceptionally good. The staff were super friendly and service was fast even in a busy Friday evening. Would definitely recommend.”
“Community Spotlight: Tang’s China House. A Sarnia Gem Reclaimed At Brownstones, we believe in celebrating the people who pour their hearts into this industry and few do it with more passion than Lillian Tang, the proud owner of Tang’s China House. Recently, Lillian made the bold and heartfelt move to buy back the very restaurant her parents built from scratch, continuing a legacy that helped shape downtown Sarnia’s food scene. From the moment you step inside, you feel it this isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a transportive experience. The rich aromas, the authentic decor, the warm hospitality it all speaks to something rare: a place where tradition meets hustle, and excellence is served on every plate. Lillian doesn’t just understand the grind she lives it. Always present, always smiling, always raising the bar. Her leadership and energy radiate through her team and her food. The result? A menu that’s top notch, a space that’s vibrant, and a clientele that keeps coming back because they know it’s the real deal. If you haven’t been to Tang’s recently, you’re missing out on one of Sarnia’s most iconic culinary experiences. This isn’t corporate dining this is homegrown excellence, led by someone who embodies everything that makes local ownership matter. Hats off to Lillian and her incredible team. From one independent powerhouse to another, we see you, we respect you and we encourage everyone to support Tang’s China House, where the flavour is fierce and the legacy is alive.”

“I’ve been to lots of breweries in my day, but the refined fool is one I can go to over and over and over again the experience is totally different every single time. It’s a great atmosphere plus the staff and the experience is one of a kind if you’re looking for that one of a kind brewery, locally, refined fool has it all”
“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!!”
“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”

“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.”
“Today I took my two children for a quick dinner before their dance pictures ! The staff that waited on us to take our order were friendly and professional! The speed of service was amazing ! My son accidentally spilled his fries 🍟 taking them out of the bag ! They replaced them ..:no questions ! Shortly after that there was someone on staff handing out mints ! I wanted to take the time to thank each and every one of you for being nice and friendly ! In today’s society it’s rare to see excellent customer service ! Afterward my children changed into their recital outfits ! The joy on the faces of the staffs faces seeing them in their outfits was amazing ! Thanks for a great time dining in @ Wendy’s we usually get our food to go however we will be eating in more after today’s experience !”
“I have tried several dishes but out that chefs special chicken curry and Shahi korma with Garlic naan is my favourite. It was super delicious and worth the cost! Highly recommended”

“I recently visited Harvey’s and had an amazing experience! The food was fresh, delicious, and exactly what I expected. I love that Harvey’s lets you customize your burger just the way you want — it really sets them apart. The staff were friendly, quick, and made sure everything was perfect with my order. The restaurant was clean, and the service was efficient, even during a busy time.
If you’re looking for great-tasting burgers and excellent customer service, Harvey’s is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended!”

“I stopped at their shop after they actually closed due to being sold out. The owner opened the door and welcomed me in. She provided samples for my daughter who has special dietary needs. I left in tears of gratitude. Thank you so much for taking time to speak with me. People like you make all the difference. I cannot wait to pickup an order of goods for my little one later this week.”
“Surprisingly good pizza. Service was excellent. Will order fro Napoli Pizza again!”
“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"”

“We ordered the Banana bread waffles for dessert, and the server came to us and apologized that it would take a few more minutes because the chef ran across the street to get fresh bananas for the garnish and topping! It was well worth the wait and this is why I love bringing my family here! THE best halibut in the world!!!”
“A solid 10/10 from me! The beef curry, porota, dosa, and tea were all absolutely perfect. This place is without a doubt the top choice for authentic South Indian food in the city. Even the server added to the experience super friendly and hilarious! When we asked him for dosa recommendations, he jokingly said, “I don’t recommend,” which had us cracking up 😂😂.”
“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!!”
“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”
“This Arby's is always spotlessly clean.
Ordered 2 med beef n cheddar but pretty sure we got regular as we always get the same thing. Was a line up or would have questioned it. A bit pricey for what we got supposedly 2 med beef n cheddar 2 curly fries and 2 drinks. $28 give or take.”

Cheap Eats
“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.”
“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.”
“Incredible customer service. The owner is an absolute pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend.”
“thanks for another great lunch cheeseburger poutine and my brother ate buffalo chicjen sandwhich. emmm mmm good”
“We love freshii and as a family eat there on weekends frequently. Our one complaint is they do not have a change table in the washroom. They offer free meals to kids on weekends and cater to families but have no way to change your baby or toddlers diaper. I have brought it up to staff 4 times now over a year but no change table has been installed.”

“Ok, this place is great - more specifically, there is one staffer who has waited on us a couple times now, her name is Lita. She is such a great asset to this place and is so fun to interact with. My partner and I recently started visiting this location after trying 3 other locations with very dissatisfactory service, we started to think that it was just this chain (Crabby Joe's) that was the problem, NOPE, definitely not, because this place is great! We live just over an hour away, but have a huge obsession with the SPIN dip. Even better is the half price apps so we usually get lots! We now find ourselves here a couple times a month despite the drive because it gets us a night out, we get great service and the price is right! Thanks Lita for making this location a shining star among the others.
Note: None of the other dissatisfactory locations we visited were in London, this DUNDAS location is just the location we tried and it did not disappoint!”
“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 :-)”
