22 Best Bar & Grill near Sarnia

“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“

“Great food Great Atmosphere Even Better Staff“

“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 😋“

“I was just driving through sarnia for work and needed to get something to eat before heading back to london. So I stepped in right as the kitchen was about to close, the waiter was kind enough to call them and get our order in! The food was delicious, the spaghetti and meatballs ?? the sauce was saucing, quality flavour. Also got the Reuben sandwich and that was really good with a decent portion size. Fries on the side! They did not disappoint, service was good and friendly! Thanks for making sure we were fed - appreciate the effort. Nothings worse than getting in and the kitchen is closed!“

“I always have an amazing time in this environment. Great people!! Sarnia Rack n Roll ROCKS!“

“I’ve been to brownstones quite a few times over the years and by far the best food, the best service, and man do they make a mean Cesar! I love the daily specials and how everyone is just so happy, it speaks a lot about how John treats his staff. And I think that’s what keeps me going back. Love how he’s always making improvements and changes to the menu so there is something for anyone that comes in. Keep up the great work.“

“Every time is just as tasty as the last.“

“Fantastic place to stop and eat. Great atmosphere. I felt cozy, and like something you would see in a movie. Lots of TVs to catch the game and tasty food to go along with it. I got the chimichanga and spinach dip. The chimichanga was nice and crispy with a flavourful filling. For the spinach dip, I do wish it came with all pitas. It’s a mix of pitas and chips. Just something to be aware of.“

“From Brownstones: A Salute to Cravin’s A True Sarnia Icon In the ever-changing world of hospitality, very few restaurants not only endure but evolve and Cravin’s has done exactly that. A cornerstone in Sarnia’s dining scene, Cravin’s has consistently demonstrated what it means to deliver excellence, whether through the inviting charm of its dining room, the creative expansion into C Lounge, or the professionalism of its Catering arm. This kind of longevity and growth doesn't happen by accident. It’s a direct reflection of the vision, leadership, and tireless work ethic of one of our city’s finest restaurateurs Helen. Her ability to adapt while staying true to the heart of her brand has earned Cravin’s a well-deserved reputation as a local favourite. At Brownstones, we respect the grind, and we admire those who continue to elevate our industry. Cravin’s may be modest in size, but it’s mighty in reputation proof that consistency, care, and community connection still matter. If you live in Sarnia, you’ve heard of Cravin’s. And if you haven’t been lately, go remind yourself what made it a local legend. With respect, from all of us at Brownstones Sports Lounge & Restaurant“

“A beautiful interior and great food. (got Ranch Burgers take out recently, but ketchup and no relish). Still great place.“

“Visited the Corunna location this afternoon. The food and service was awesome but i also wanted to pass along the most amazing and generous thing that happened to us. We were seated in the outside dining area. There was a table of four ladies next to us. They asked me if i would take their picture and of course i took a few for them, who wouldn’t. We then went on to enjoy our lunch. After we were done our server came to tell us that the table of four ladies paid for our lunch on their way out. At first we are ok you are kidding right? The server smiled and said yes they really paid for it she said because I took their picture. I know there are so many amazing individuals in this world and I guess we were the lucky recipients of their kindness today. If those ladies are local or see this review please accept our heartfelt thank you for your most kind and generous gesture today. Someday we will find that moment ourselves and pay it forward 💕“

“Celebrated my sister's birthday there. It was a fun time, beautiful environment.“

“love their food! Brisket is really good, some time the wait is a little long but that's because of how good everything is.“

“Great food loved the homemade Ruben Egg Roll the very best I'll definitely have it again Highly recommend“

“Our first time at Skeeter Barlows tonight. 10/10 impressed and will be back. Very welcoming atmosphere, tolerant of kids, fast service, tasty food and dessert, fair prices and karaoke nights! We will make the trip for good food, company and entertainment from now on. Give them a try!“

“Just had my husband 50th surprise birthday party there on the patio and everything was amazing. We did pizzas and salad for everyone that came and the food and service was amazing as always. Definitely recommend them if you’re looking to do a party or just a night out.“

“We stopped in on 3/14 for dinner. Place was packed. I’m not sure exactly who we had as a waitress. But the service and food were EXCELLENT! As busy as that place was, our waitress kept up. We sat next to the pool table area, and our 2 boys were playing pool in a very tight area. The patrons in that area were super nice and understanding of our kids just trying to play a game of pool on a busy night. Thanks to the staff, we really enjoyed the night out at the Lynwood!!! We will be back again soon, this was definitely a 5⭐️ experience.“

“We went there twice for lunch one carryout and one in dining, both times were excellent food and service. Bar tender was great and even the cook delivered our take home food to our tabel and it was cooked to perfection! I highly recommend this place.“

“The food at Bogey's is simply fantastic! Don't know who the chef is .....but kudos! Went here for the first time Wednesday night and it certainly won't be the last. Prices are moderate and the bartender makes a decent drink. ( I hate when you pay high prices for a weak drink!). The waitress was so nice and informative. Answered all my questions and kept checking to see if our table needed anything. ( sorry I didn't get her name!). From the outside Bogey's doesn't look like much.....but take a chance and go inside. You won't be sorry!“

“Always a great time! Very friendly.“

“Love the low key vibe and quality wine! The pear pizza is so good and original too! Owner Tom and bartender Tianna are some of the best people we’ve gotten to know! Always welcoming and remembering our orders. Love love love the window seats and people watching! One of my favorite places in Port Huron!!“

“The Zebra lounge has been under new ownership for a few months, and as with any new business owner, they are constantly learning. With that being said, I had a business meeting there yesterday, and thoroughly enjoyed my food and service. I was back there this evening for some drinks, and Carla went above and beyond for our group. She was absolutely amazing. Her personality was the icing on the cake. Definitely looking forward to being back!“
