Restaurants in Stratford

“5 stars across the board! We went with a group of friends and we all chose 4 things to try-this was more than enough to give us a taste of almost all of their offerings, and leave our bellies full and satisfied. Every taste was magnificent. Our favourites were the crispy devilled eggs, Brussels sprout Cesar salad, short rib stuffed Yorkshire pudding and fried chicken. Only sad about not having room for dessert! The menu changes often, but you won’t be disappointed. Cocktails were delish, service was great. Can’t wait to go back!”

Very highly recommend!”

“We got married at Mercer Hall in the event room and they were SO friendly and SO accommodating, especially with two littles in the group.

“Good food at decient price. Staff was very friendly and fast service. Ordered shrimp pasta with garlic sauce. They said 15 min and in 15 min it was ready. Will be back.”

“A special afternoon spent at Revival House. A really wonderful gentlemen, made us feel so welcome and you could tell how proud he was of the restaurant and its history. He made our day and encouraged our full enjoyment of this unique venue. As a minister I loved seeing how the beautiful building was so creatively repurposed, honouring its original design. Unfortunately, I didn’t ask his name, but what a wonderful ambassador for this business. From reading other reviews, I wonder if it was Chris? We had a lovely server as well. But I had wished we had left a tip for this super fellow as well.”

“great food and service amazing coffee”

“As a foodie born and raised in Stratford, this place has one of the BEST value in terms of portion, taste and price. 9/10. The lunch gyro wrap special is where it's at! Not only that but, the Spartan burger is awesome too! Juicy, satisfying, and honestly a different burger that I never had before. I'm glad it's here in Stratford!! Also, I'm not much of a salad guy, but the Greek salad is AMAZING too! Man everything is just great here lol”

“A unique and varied curation of quality spirits and mixables, creatively and expertly prepared and presented with flair. Their premium cocktail prices are better than most Toronto hotel standard cocktails and everything here has a sense of eccentric class. I even plan to have a cocktail there again on my birthday!

“Tasty shawarma spot in Stratford! The wraps and bowls are full of flavor and the fries (especially the messy fries and mango chipotle) are a must-try. Staff are usually friendly and quick, and the restaurant is clean with a simple, casual setup.”

“I was starting to think that I was going to drown in a sea of tourist-influenced culinary mediocrity. The beautiful architecture and all its promise. I was thinking that the residents must bake their own bread since I had yet to find a genuine bakery after three days of walking/driving around Stratford. Then all-of-a-sudden - there she was! I don't have the words. Downie Street Bakery produces the kind of bread that Europeans treat with a reverence. These folks put in the time and passion. I was going. to leverage the daylight and tour some more but I had to get back to my friend's lovely historic mansion and dig into this sourdough. I'm talking Mana from Heaven. Too-bad Ontario butter is is such e barrasingly-horrendous crap. I'm going to have to make my own at a top-secret raw milk dairy operation for it to be worthy of such High-Art. Thank you Downie Street Bakery for raising me back up and making me a believer.”

“Great coffee, great people, and a great atmosphere.”

“With a reservation coming in after us, we felt a little rushed. It's a small place. We understood, food was good. Service was very nice. It would definitely recommend the noodles.”

“I stopped in later in the day last Friday from London and grabbed the last loaf of sourdough and it was SO delicious. Lovely staff and great atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back and try some of the other breads and treats.”

“Nice friendly staff at this location, clean dining area, washrooms clean and tidy, excellent service. We even had delivery to our table. BarBURRITO is always delicious.”

“Anytime we’re in Stratford we always eat at Bowl Bar. Their food is awesome, so tasty, healthy and fresh. So many bowls to choose from. Keep making the great healthy foods.”

“The next stop on my unofficial brewery tour is Black Swan Brewing Co. Almost skipped this stop because of the weather but I’m glad I didn’t because this spot is a can’t miss. Grab yourself a flight of local cold ones sit back and relax on the dog friendly patio. I personally recommend the Wild Child Sour but honestly you can’t go wrong.”

“amazing birthday party place! daughter had so much fun with her friends! we will go back :) 😊”

“I had Features Barbecue cater a small event I hosted recently approx 30 people. The food was absolutely outstanding and a huge hit with my guests! Chris did a great job meeting my needs and budget! I would absolutely recommend for parties or business functions! Thanks Features! 10/10!!!”

“I contacted Black Angus about catering for a small party (5 of us) for a surprise wedding anniversary for my mom. Not only were they extremely easy / flexible when creating a dinner menu / responding to emails, they were punctual with delivery & pick up, had all supplies required, and the food was DELICIOUS! My Father recently passed away & this was my moms first anniversary without him. You and your team helped make it extra special. Will definitely order again.. Cheers!”

“Exceptional cuisine. Family owned. Amber, our server was awesome! A must try.😋”

“Nice vibe. Great latte and scone.”

“A number of people from yoga recommended I check out this place on my way out of the city, and man…. I’m so glad I did! It’s kind of a hole in the wall spot in an industrial area, with an atmosphere best described as a mix of industrial, yet warm, eclectic, cozy and welcoming. The “Kona coffee” sign on the door hooked me, but the actual selection once inside really sold me! The minute you walk in the doors you get the feeling that the owners love their coffee, and it really shines through. This place is no joke. The selection is amazing, with a little bit of something for everyone. The gentleman I spoke to today was so knowledgeable, and really just the loveliest human. His love for his product really shined, and made me excited for everything there! I ended up with a bag of whole beans, and on my way out grabbed a small coffee with oat milk…. It was to die for! What a wonderful pick me up for my long drive home ❤️ I think I’ve found my new “quick cup of coffee” for my post-yoga drive home, and I can’t wait for the next cup!”

“Moved to a small town so it's been more than a decade since I've had a Harvey's meal. Was in Stratford Ontario today and stopped at the Erie St location. Was not disappointed! Service was friendly and same great taste. Will make a point of returning 😁”

“Our family visited this lovely cafe this week. The coffee and snacks were delicious. The cat room was cozy and very clean. The hosts were very friendly. Would highly recommend and will be back”

“Normally get their sushi after work during the week. But ended up going on saturday after i was done, not realizing they closed at 2 on saturdays.
They saw me and hollered at me to come in to order 10 mins after they closed. They're beyond nice and always serve you with kindness and a smile to go with it!

Definitely recommend if somehow you haven't heard of them yet!”

“Great Haddock fish and chips! Big portions! I’m more than sufficiently sephonsified!!! I’ll be back!!!”

“Every time I'm in Canada I like to have a BLT from Mr. Sub - They're always good. There was a lovely woman working there, I should have got her name, she made my night.”

“Best fries! I told a chip truck in Peterborough their fries better be as good as Ken’s in Stratford and even they had heard about Ken’s.Ken’s has them beat.”

“With Little Caesars, you're not getting an artisan-made pizza. However, I had to wait for a hot and ready b/c the guy just before me bought the lot. When I pizza was ready, the manager ran them and my crazy bread out to my car for me because it was windy and rainy. I really appreciated that and it turn my day around. Thanks for knocking the customer experience out of the park that day, Little Caesars.”

“My father stopped at your store yesterday, I believe. He was in search of a "miracle" as he put it. He is a frequent customer and recently lost his wedding ring, but didn't know where. Upon speaking to staff just in case he was presented with his lost ring! I can't tell you how much this meant to him. I want to thank the wonderful management and staff for what they did. You have made him so very happy as this ring was extremely sentimental to him. Thank you so much.”
