Restaurants in Stratford

“Great dining experience. We spoke with the chef and he told us how he acquires fresh ingredients from farmers in the area and then determines what will be on the menu for the night. For our September 5 dining experience, several ingredients from his wife’s garden. We enjoyed their beautiful roasted cherry tomatoes with ricotta. Also loved the scallops. Highly recommend Elizabeth.”

“Full Valentine’s Day dinner at the bluebird. Rated 10 out of 10 food and service and ambiance. Great hosts Aaron and Bronwyn🍷🍷 John and Susan”

“Me and the wife tried it for the first time last weekend. And honestly no bs best restaurant meal we have had. Very original ideas that taste absolutely amazing. The Staff were also great the whole time. 10 out of 10.”

“Great food and service!!!”

“Very delicious burgers and fries.Amazing carrot cake. Friendly service and lovely owner, Nancy. Really enjoyed our lunch there.”

“Can’t say enough good things about The Common from great evenings out with friends to a recent private Christmas party held there. The service is friendly and fast, the food and selections are incredible, the atmosphere is so great! Chef/Owner Tim always there to chat. Restaurant manager Cassandre is exceptional. Very highly recommend!”

“I put my name in for your prizes. Paul Smith”

“the best pad thai in the area hands down!!! have had some of the others and this one takes the cake. plus the portions are huge ! give it a try you won't regret it :)”

“The food here was mmm scrumptious would highly recommend”

“We had brunch here today. A perfect mix of Indian and Canadian dishes. Butter chicken is excellent. Eggs Benedict us delicious. We were offered a yogurt drink that was delicious. I couldn't believe the price! $14.99”

“We had a great time at Stratford Axes , Sherri has a great place and is an awesome host .”

“The food was delicious and service was excellent.”

“This is THE place for tea lovers! Just want to talk tea and/or try something new? You will find your soul tea here for sure. Mine is the Hot Cinnamon Herbal. A cup of that and life is full of calm and promise.”

“Awesome pizza.The sourdough gives it an extra flavor. Any pizza you choose will be excellent.”

“As said before the french onion soup is fantastic and I'm pretty fussy, little more croutons and a little less onion would work well.
We were guests last Friday around 6:30 and really impressed with food though pricy and service was great, not hovering but attentive. Probably the only downfall was entitled people that needed to shout, inside voices folks it's not all about you.
Loved the free parking, about 5 bucks per car and there were three.”

“One of my favourite restaurants in Ontario!!!”

“Excellent place to chill for an over nite stay in Stratford !”

“10/10 came in with my mom from Indiana and was treated wonderfully by the kindest staff. Found some distinct teas and will spread the word!”

“Well appointed rooms, in the heart of downtown Stratford, steps away from the best dining in Ontario. Owned and operated by a beautiful soul. Would highly recommend a staycation here. Can't wait to go back!”

“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. The food, service, drinks and atmosphere was wonderful and Mercer truly went above and beyond for our little celebration! Cannot recommend them enough, they went above and beyond for us.”

“This restaurant is unquestionably one of the coolest place to eat in the neighborhood. Anytime I come there I am profoundly glad. They preserve their very high standard service and the topmost level of meals they serve. You are always happy with this restaurant. Highly recommended.”

“Love the bubble tea and beef noodle stir fry! So delicious and fresh.”

“the wonton nachos are amazing”

“Amazing staff! Great quality food.”

“Great food, very respectful staff. I like being here for dinner sometime. Highly recommended. The only negative is the lighting, sitting directly under the lights it's so bright, feels like sitting in an interrogation room. Lights need to be dimmed or even better change them all together to softer lighting. Thanks.”

“Pinos’ Pizza in Stratford is truly a gem! As a family-owned and operated institution for over 30 years, they have consistently delivered amazing food and exceptional service. Eddie still makes the dough from scratch, and you can taste the quality in every bite, as they use the highest quality ingredients and delicious toppings.

I recently had the pleasure of trying their new Neapolitan Margherita Pizza, and it’s the best pizza I’ve ever had! While it’s not your traditional Italian Neapolitan, the flavours are phenomenal. The whole tomato slice and the red onion accent on top elevate the taste to a whole new level. Pinos is also a fantastic spot to enjoy a Stella pint and a slice,

A big shout-out to Megan, Maitri, Ajay, Rahul, Logan, Eddie, and the entire Pinos staff for their hard work and dedication. Highly recommend!”

“Amazing experience! Fast service and amazing food!🥰”

“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.”

“The hubby and I had a date night here on Sunday and were very impressed. The food was delicious, and the service was fast and efficient. We had Lisa as our server and she was the best server we've had in a long time she went above and beyond for us!! 5 stars! we will definitely be back soon!”

“Loved our meal Pork Souvlaki made to order, medium well just perfect! Gyro dinner was sliced much thicker than anywhere else we have ever had. Super delicious. Thank you, we will come back.”

“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! Cheers!”

“Food was freshly prepared and delicious! Staff was friendly and accommodating! Would eat there again!”

“Friendly delicious affordable”

“Love the atmosphere here - one of my favourite places in Stratford. Thanks, Jonny!”

“Amazing place. Went for karaoke on a Tuesday. Charcuterie was unreal and fit to our needs (dairy free), and the fancy drink was so yummy. I wish I lived close because it would be a regular spot.”

“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!!!”

“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.”

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

“Discovered Crawing wings last year and couldn't be more greatful for their excellent service, quality and taste. No better wings to be found in Stratford.”

friendly service! They were very accommodating and patient with our group of 10 that dined in. The Ninja Star bowl was delicious and very filling- loved the crispy tempura shrimp and smoked salmon paired with the ninja sauce!”

“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.”

“This is hands down, the best in town. Their sourdoughs are absolutely amazing. Try them all! Their galettes are fantastic and they are sure to use fruits that are in season, so you get great variety throughout the year. The focaccia breads are always so delicious as well as their baguette.

Their price points are great and they aren't price gouging like most of the other bakeries in town. Go and support this gem.”

“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 :) 😊”

“Wicked-cool-amazing signature latte coffee creations. They have flavours that I've never heard of and they will blow your mind. I had the Golden Latte 💛 Love the descriptions of the ingredients on the menu in each drink.
They also serve sandwiches with avocado, meat, baked goods, breakfast and smoothies! Totally worth coming here and I will be back!

“I love that I can customize my bowl - and they are always so kind and patient while I make my choices! They are so friendly and helpful - and they always make sure you have everything you need. The atmosphere is very welcoming - and you can grab water at your leisure with their complimentary water station. They also have wifi so I've had work lunch dates there before! Lots of seating is available, and the windows along the one side of the building provide lots of natural light! You can also sit outside if you prefer. The staff are always friendly and prompt. And, you can order ahead online - bonus!!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Bought a Christmas cake for my father. He said it was the best Christmas cake he has every had in his life. "Nice and light, easy to eat, not heavy like a lot of them". Has requested that I buy one for him every year. Thanks for making this part of his gift a big hit!”

“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”

“Great food, great people! Great overall experience. Best sushi in town in my opinion. Family owned operation and the Kim family is incredible. I would recommend to all my friends and family 10/10 times.”

“Really enjoyed the pizza here! It was hot, cheesy, and full of flavor — exactly what I was craving. The staff were friendly and got my order ready fast. The place is clean and perfect . I’ll definitely be coming back! 🍕”

“We absolutely love the flavors of ice cream here. We discoved it for the first time at the very end of the season 2024, so it has been a regular go to this season. The service is always friendly and quick.”

“I only have a 30 minute lunch break and this locations drive thru ROCKS , the service is super quick , the location is well staffed and deliver a great burger .........ask for onion rings for your combo”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“Great food! Amazing service and wonderful suggestions.”

“I love our Pita Pit!!! The staff are so nice... they have great customer service. It’s a good healthy choice.”

“Amazing staff and the treats are always delicious :)”

“We always buy pizza from here! The pizza is always great, they are on time, and the price fits our budget. Thanks to all of you, from all of us at McCarthy Place. Our staff love Pizza Day!”

“I am giving Five stars to Pizza Hut in Stratford because you've got the best pizza delivery driver named Dave. He was polite, fast, and friendly. He even delivered pizza in horrible freezing rain and snow, risking his life as he was jumping over snow banks and slipping on ice. Dave deserves praise and maybe even a raise. Oh and your pizza is amazing too. Great job on your pizzas too”

“I ordered thru doordashWhen I received the food the sweet and sour sauce was missing. When I informed them I had no way to get the sauce one of their employees delivered the sauce. Great customer service!!!”

“Glad they were open late, prices like everywhere else are not in tune with the economy, food was okay, employee very courteous and still had a smile despite the late hour..”

“Always getting a beyond burger and sweet potato fries. Delicious!! Sad to see they don't sell root beer floats anymore though? The staff are very friendly, helpful, and fast too!! Will definitely be going again!

Vegetarian options: Beyond burger is delicious!! Always a favourite!”

“I’m from out of town (big city) and I haven’t ever had pizza with meat balls in them, and the cup pepperoni is also seldom seen, so when I saw New Orleans had these ingredients I just had to try. The pizza was great, we ordered for a late night meal and we snarfed it all down fairly quickly. The wings were great too. Meaty, nicely fried, and plenty of sauce on the side even for a small order. The pizza crusts were small and crispy making them great to eat, my kids usually throw away the crusts but not this time.”

“Great deals! Always find what I need-love the Starbucks too!”
