11 Best American Restaurants in St. Catharines

“The Kilt and Clover isn’t just another pub — it’s a true cornerstone of historic Port Dalhousie. You feel the great energy the moment you walk in.

The long-term staff speak volumes about the smart ownership and the kind of place this is: well-run, welcoming, and built for the long haul. Patrons don’t just visit — they stick around for a lifetime.

The year-round patio is a huge win, happy hour hits the sweet spot, and Fun Fridays with live music keep the place buzzing without losing its neighbourhood charm.

The menu is well balanced, and the kitchen consistently delivers solid, satisfying pub fare.

⭐ Bottom line: Great people, great energy, great pub. Port Dalhousie wouldn’t be the same without it.“

“I came here with my bf. And something happened. He left. I stayed and ended up taking food to go home with. The lady Lori was looking after me and while I was upset she was talking and comforting me. Lovely lady. Much appreciated her help. She was so kind to me and sent me home with a free pie on top of the dinners I bought.

She should get a raise, she helped me.
The food here is always so tasty.
Thankyou!“

“Had a great night out for supper with my family celebrating my birthday. Our server Andrea was absolutely wonderful. She was personable, kind and had a great sense of humour. We were lucky to cross paths with her and have her as our server as she stated she is only there one day per week! Hope to see you again soon! Thank you for your amazing service!“

“We loved the food at MJs. All homemade cooking. Fair price and delicious. Can’t eat for cheaper in the area!“

“I asked for a glass of water. I dont drink alcohol or soft drinks. So they bring me a glass and a bottle of water. Then billed me $3 for the water. Even after I said I do reviews. Least when my water got spilled they didn't charge me for the second bottle lol.“

“Lunch with Liver with double veggies! my wife had Chicken wrap and chips!! Excellent quality and portion size!“

“The Lazy Lizard was hopping last night- we enjoyed delicious food (the broasted chicken is my absolute favourite!) Service started out as a 2/10 from 3 servers, when we were seated I asked for a drink menu and was told they didn’t have one (when we were there 2 weeks ago and our server provided us with one). My fiancé spotted our server from 2 weeks ago (Andy) and went over and asked her for a drink menu; in which she reached above her head and gave him one. The server (our original server that started with us tonight) that told me they didn’t have a drink menu never looked in our direction for the rest of the night. She continued to deal with tables around us, but ignored us, and continued to talk with the other servers working & spent 10 minutes standing at a table talking to what we presumed to be friends. Not only was Andy serving the patio, she was also taking care of us and multiple other tables inside. She got our food order, drink orders etc. I went as far as to ask her if they split tips or keep them, and disappointingly she said they split them. We would have tipped Andy heavily if she was alone/getting the tip herself, but was modest in tipping because the 3 other servers would have got it as well. Andy is attentive, friendly, and a 10/10. She really cares about the service you receive!“

“We had a lunch date at Kully's today and it was excellent. The food was fresh, flavorful and came within a good period of time. I ordered a Miller lite, my friend ordered cocktails and was happy with how good they were. The server was friendly and attentive, took our orders and customized mine with ease, and the other server was also delightful! He would come out and check in when our first server was busy, ask if we needed anything, etc. Overall excellent service, food was delicious, drinks were wonderful! We will return another day ☺️“

“They have some really good deals and their workers are amazing at their job. i always order it online and every time it just seems like the food keeps getting better. They’ve never messed up my orders and have treated it with precision, it’s become my favourite restaurant.“

“I don’t usually leave a review for chain/franchise fast food restaurants. But this one in St Catharines is special. Always have a good time when I either dine in or get drive through at this joint. Staff is always friendly, welcoming and helpful. The food is always on point and much better than other Harvey’s I have tried. The people working behind the counter always care for the food and take care of any additions or requests we make.

We visited them during this thanksgiving weekend, unaware of the early shutdown hours. We decided to dine in, we were having our food but found the staff was cleaning the table and preparing to close unusually early. The lady working was kind enough to inform us they had closed few minutes ago but we were still good to finish our food. It was really kind of her, to let us finish dining and not rush through our dinner. We are really grateful for the staff that worked that holiday weekend!“

“Lovely staff! Spacious, clean and something for the whole family!“
