“I think I found my new favourite local restaurant. Fried chicken is to die for. Great service and ambiance too.“

“The atmosphere was calming, cozy and the staff welcomed us with smiles on their faces and all of them were very pleasant. The meal came in timely manner and presented well! We had spaghetti and lazagna and both were delicious. Our server Amanda was friendly, warm, and came to our table at least 6 times to check up on us if we needed antything else or to take our dishes away. Other staff members helped her and she helped other and to clear the tables they all helped each other and they were done fast and efficient. We would definitely go again. The dessert was sooooo good that it melted in our mouths.“

“It’s About Thyme is fantastic. Sam is a master . Every time I order from him , it’s always the yummiest thing that I’ve eaten since the last time I ordered from him . I always order the beef Shawarma dinner and believe me it’s the best beef Shawarma anywhere in the city . The prices are excellent. The food is absolutely delicious. Way to go Sam ! I feel so blessed that he brought his culinary artistry to St. Catherines.“

“After a long day of traveling, we enjoyed a leisurely meal on the outdoor patio and found it very satisfying. The food was fine and and the service was excellent, but we constantly had to shoo away hornets during the evening. Loved the kegs in the mens room!“

“The food and atmosphere of this little bistro is outstanding!! Service was excellent. The standout dish for our group of 8 was the meatballs but everything was delicious. It is a small restaurant and we were only able to seat 8 as we came between lunch and dinner around 2:30pm. Highly recommend this cute spot!!“

“Our go to wing place. Wings and service are consistently good, staff actually seem to enjoy working there. if you download their app you can gain points to get deals on stuff. You can also pick the songs that play over the restaurant speakers which is pretty cool..“

“Came here for a work party, great service and incredible food!“

“Awesome food and fast service! An incredible option to a fast food lunch for less $$ and I’m guessing just a lil healthier“

“Exactly as advertised, great food. Very fast and service was excellent. The coffee carafe at the table was a nice touch.
I guess my only suggestion is to reupholster some of the benches as it’s clearly showing its age but it wouldn’t deter me from going.
I would definitely recommend.“

“We stopped in tonight specifically for Fish and Chips, as we have heard they have the best in the Region. It did not disappoint!!!By far the best in the area! Huge portions (enough for another meal tomorrow), crispy batter, tasty coleslaw and great fries. Not to be outdone by their stellar service!
Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for great bar food and service!! We will be back.“

“The food was amazing! The pozole was full of flavor, the chicken tacos were excellent, and the carne asada was cooked perfectly.

The server made the experience even better. She had a great attitude from the moment she came over, friendly, genuine, and attentive the whole time. Between the food and the service, highly recommend! Will definitely be back.“

“Be like the Benny was so good. Hubby and I each got a different kind so we could try both. Amazing, unique twist on breakfast. Plus $3 mimosas how can you go wrong. Will be back.“

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

“Awesome authentic Thai food. Best Coconut soup anywhere. Chicken Satay is delicious with peanut sauce., mango salad, pad Thai and many more incredible dishes. Unfortunately located in a very derelict area with a lot of drug use, but a very well run long standing operation with a solid reputation.“

“First time customer last night. The ambiance was very nice. The food was very good. There was 7 of us for dinner and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Overall, the food was fantastic and the price was reasonable for the portion size. (large portions) We will be back soon.“

“Visited this restaurant for the first time on May 9/26. I absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was great, the staff very friendly, fast and efficient. Special thanks to our server, Anu. She went above and beyond to make our time enjoyable. The food was very delicious and service was amazing! I will definitely go again!!! She offered me complimentary dessert as my first time there. I think she was trying to get me hooked and it worked!“

“Fantastic place to enjoy a delicious meal. Cafe Amore has now risen to the top of my list of favourite restaurants. The first time I was there it was a summer dinner outside. I experienced the Black and Blue pasta. Simply delectable. Last night we returned for an early Valentine’s Day dinner. This time I could not resist the Steak Gorgonzola. So incredibly decadent, so delicious. My wife had the Penne Alfredo with Lobster and Crab. Also a beautifully presented dish that was delicious. The Caesar salad is definitely worth the upgrade too. Cozy and warm dining experience with a great staff. We are looking forward to coming back soon. There’s just too many delicious options on that menu. See you soon!“

“The Works is hands down one of the best spots around. Their burgers are unreal every single time, loaded with flavour and cooked perfectly. The service is just as amazing, friendly, fast, and genuinely personable. You always feel like you are being taken care of, not just served. And if you have not tried their homemade cheesecake yet, you are missing out. It is unbelievably good. Owners Julie and Kevin go above and beyond for their customers. You can feel how much they care in every detail, from the atmosphere to the food to the way they treat people. If you want great food and even better service, The Works is the place to go!“

“What a great place for a venue. Cant say enough. Roberto, Ashley and staff were absolutely wonderful. Food was fan-fricken-tastic. Great comments by all who attended the bridal shower for my daughter.“

“If you're looking for a place that serves great breakfast in a truly friendly atmosphere, this restaurant is a fantastic choice. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm smiles. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, and you can tell they genuinely care about creating a pleasant experience for their guests.

The breakfast options are fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The coffee is consistently good, and the portions strike the perfect balance between satisfying and not overwhelming.

Overall, it’s the kind of place you want to return to again and again. Delicious food, welcoming people, and a relaxed environment, this is now out go to place for Breakfast.“

“Amazing food, great service, great atmosphere. Enjoyed a datenight on Friday with some super tasty eats. Loved the flavour on the angel hair garlic shrimp pasta. Will 100% be back just for that! :)“

“I always love eating from this place! I have tried the other Thai places in the area but they just don’t compare. The cashew chicken is my absolute favourite! And the portions are amazing. I always have leftovers for the next day. There is one particular Thai place in the area with the tiniest portions I have ever seen but I won’t name them here. I’ll just say that sahla Thai has my business for life 😊“

“I highly reccomend this place. You get more than what you pay for. Its definitely not michelin star food... but everyone from St. Catharines has eaten here before and likes it. It's good and bad at the same time. They have been a staple of downtown for 30+ years at least“

“after trying several different pizza joints around st catharines we came across Pete's... and has been our go to ever since. their pizza is always delicious, quick delivery and priced fairly.“

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

“A cool little neighbor spot. We shared the poutine and buttered chicken. Both were great! The mixed drinks were well crafted and quite good. The beer, Oast Barn Raiser, was cold and flavorful. We got a booth by an open window that had a cool breeze flowing through. The service was fast and everyone was very friendly.“

“Fantastic service , great food, friendly organized staff! Will definitely go back 👏🏻“

“Haven’t had Pie Guys in ages, ordered their Thursday wing special & a personal pie off their website, and everything was SO delicious! Perfect pizza & the wings were as amazing as I remembered 😋 I ordered super saucy and I got super saucy….AND we got 9 wings for each lb, I guess because they were a bit smaller than usual they increased the quantity to still give us a lb….I love this! Awesome job, Pie Guys Linwell 🤩🤍“

“Big Tuna Sushi We were excited to return to Big Tuna on Ontario Street for my niece’s 16th birthday, as she chose it herself and we had a great experience last year. Unfortunately, this visit didn’t live up to our expectations. The restaurant was a bit busy when we arrived so we waited 25 minutes for drinks and appetizers. The service felt disorganized and some food arrived cold or very late. My dessert " crème brûlée and the wontons ordered" were served cold, which was disappointing. One server (shorter woman with glasses, approximately 40–50 years old) was not very friendly during our visit between 6:30–8:30 p.m. on January 17th. She seemed annoyed the whole evening. My sister was told ahead of time to bring cash for a 10–20% discount, but this was not honoured as I was sitting with them at the table. We were told that because I arrived with my boyfriend and we paid separately, my niece and her mother’s bill no longer qualified for the cash discount — despite it being a family birthday reservation and we came to join in. Most disappointing was that my niece did not receive the birthday cheesecake or any recognition, even though we saw another table celebrating and the servers singing happy birthday. We truly wanted this to be a special night for her, especially being her 16th birthday. I hope the restaurant can address these issues so future celebrations reflect the positive experiences we’ve had in the past.“

“I cannot say enough how great this pizza is. The kind staff is made even better with Abob. You bring a smile to my face when I see you working those early shifts. Thank you for the special care and attention to my order and the energy you bring to brighten up the space. A reasonable price for fantastic food. Good crust and even sauce with no chunks. 5 stars every time!“

“the staff are very friendly and polite very clean“

“Bar far the best place i have found for poutines!
Fully loaded, made with all the extra toppings choices i asked for perfectly!
Ordered threw skip the dishes and still came perfectly fresh, hot and just the way I wanted it.
Thank you!“
