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

“What a fantastic restaurant!
I ate what is possibly the best burger I've had in my life there. The service was impeccable.
This place actually hires young Canadian kids rather than temporary foreign workers. Everyone spoke perfect English. They were all polite.
Eating here felt like family-owned restaurants used to feel when all the businesses were owned locally, and their owners took pride in everything they did while hiring local members of the community to work.

If you're in Stratford, don't miss this place”

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

“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!”

“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”

“We have been going to Pino's for years. Their pizza never disappoints. Today we had a new server take care of us. Nathan was an exceptional waiter, he was quick to get our drinks and take our order, and checked back to ensure we didn't require anything else. What impressed us most was his interest in our feedback regarding his service. To have conscientious staff like Nathan is so refreshing. Keep up the great job Nathan.”

“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!”

“We were welcomed by Jordan and brought to our desired seating tonight. We were served by a team of two waitresses. However we started with Alaina. Alaina and Brittney worked with great communication and even when I asked Jordan the host for a coke zero, one of the ladies brought it so fast I had to comment to her. Great tram work! Great communication between team members! And we cannot forget the food, top tier. Served fast and hot. We were in a tush this day. My grandfather is ailing and for just a moment… I felt happy and free. Highly recommend the Stratford Crabby Joe’s. Exeter can learn from them.”

“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”

“Anytime I’m in Strafford for the night. I always make it a point to grab takeout from Tuque. I love the Shawarma bowl. I would recommend this place to anyone. Food is unbelievable, and the gentleman behind the counter is always friendly”

“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!”

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

“Friendly delicious affordable”

“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.”

“Very tasty wings at competitive prices. Friendly service. We will return for sure!!”

“wonderful owner. I messaged about how much I loved her vegan mint chip and she offered to set aside a pint for me. I'm so happy to have found a place in town that offers a dairy free option and it's absolutely delicious. I highly recommend anyone to try this place”

“Stratford is blessed with excellent choices for places to meet and Ashborne’s is at the top of my list! Whether it is for any one of their great offerings, they are all excellent made on.the premises. It is my go to place to meet my friends or bring our quests! Treat yourself today and find out for yourself!”

The entire meal was 10/10. There wasn’t even one chunk of inedible chicken in the whole meal.
So delicious, fair priced and satisfying.
The cashier was also really friendly and pleasant.”

“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.”

“I walked in for the first time on Monday and immediately felt special. Colin was super nice and when I explained that I was new to coffee was very accommodating and made a great coffee that fit my need for lots of sugar and cream. The pastries are so delicious and I genuinely love the look of the building inside and out. I will definitely be going back and they are very deserving of my business.”

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

“Frank the server is a 5 star server who knows his customers and is equally welcoming to newcomers. He is knowledgeable and personable and can help you find the pint that treats you best. Apart from Frank, there is a dedicated team who cares about serving you and providing you with top quality brews.”

“I was there for an event and was blown away! Huge beer selection - I'm not even a beer drinker and I found one I loved. The pizza was next level delicious, and the topping radio was really good! I'll ABSOLUTELY be back.”

“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.”

“I would like to commend Kuldeep for her outstanding customer service at Bar Burrito. She is consistently polite, attentive, and professional. Her attention to detail and positive attitude contribute significantly to the overall dining experience.”

“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!!!”

“AMAZING Pizza and the GF crust is really good too, highly recommend! If you haven’t already, get the homemade chili, SO good!!! Always homemade and delicious !😋 😋😋😋😋😋”

“Great place! My wife and I stumbled on this place while walking around Stratford. Wonderful service and amazing food. We will be coming here every time we are here during the warmer weather.”

“What a great place for a healthy meal!”

“Really good pizza and great service. The crust was nice and the toppings tasted fresh. Everything came out hot and on time. I’ll definitely be coming back again.”

“Great water and even better conversations! He’s always on time, super friendly, and the quality of the water is excellent. Service like this makes a real difference. Highly recommend Jamie and his staff Denise.”

“Had a crispy chicken sandwich, and since a combo price was the same for fries or onion rings, I got the latter. The onion rings were especially tasty! First time at Harvey’s, but will definitely go again. Fast and friendly service!”

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

“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!”

“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!”

“Nice vibe. Great latte and scone.”

“Try almost every one. Never dissatisfied great quality and flavours.”

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

“Absolutely excellent. we had the foot long (ok, it's 9 inches, but that's plenty), with onion rings for me and fries for my hubby. Absolutely the best onion rings I've had in years...not preformed or even baked...the real thing. the hotdog was perfectly cooked and the bun was lovely and fresh. I was going to give it 9/10, but wondered what could be improved, so 10/10 it is! A real summertime treat!”

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

“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.”

“Such a great mission and they run the shop so well! I’ve gone several times in the past few years and always have an amazing time.”

“My mom and I love your Chinese food . The chicken balls are the best. The box is overflowing with chicken balls. The mushroom fried rice is awesome. Love the mushrooms and vegetables in it. Courteous staff.”

“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.”

“The sushi is a bit more chewy than other spots but I found it fantastic. Tastes hand made and super, super fresh. As far as sushi goes the prices are great too. Highly recommend.

On top of that, a super friendly owner!”

“Picked up a Large 4 topping 15.00. Have not had pizza this good in a long time.”

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

“Great experience . Went today . Was greeted with a smile from Marley and we were sat quickly . Our amazing waitress Savanah served us with professionalism , smiles and an over all good dinning experience . The food was hot , delicious , and the spicy topping on my hash browns are by far my favourite. We will 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.”

“When I had to wait for 40 minutes at another pizza place I forgot my order. I decided to order here and had it within 15 mins and left the store. I will always order from these fantastic people”

“Not bad at all. The one thing is that the spring roll tasted very bad, as another person mentioned, so I think there is something in it that is very off putting to some people. I didnt have any other complaints, I got the 4 items. Chicken was good, mushrooms good, rice okay.”

“Great food! Amazing service and wonderful suggestions.”

“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..”

“Amazing staff! Great quality food.”

“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.”

“Every time we visit this Popeyes it's always a fresh chicken we can smell. The restaurant management must be great as the entire restaurant always seems super clean and shiny. We always been treated with respect and our food always comes fresh crispy and tasty. Staff is very polite at this store and always ask us "how was your experience". Stratford best food location to try wings specially the honey bbq and garlic Parmesan. Keep it up popeyes.”
