Restaurants near Walkerton

“I was there last Sunday with my great-niece and her husband. I was impressed by the cleanliness, the food, and the attentiveness of the staff. I'm a little picky, but I wished they would better describe the dipping sauces and have more feminine glassware. It would benefit the experience for sure. That is my only suggestion.”

“Oh my, today I had the best marinara sauce I have ever had! And the gnocchi! The only comparison I have is from the grocery store and the gnocchi I had the pleasure of savouring today was a heavenly texture and flavour! I won’t ever buy grocery store gnocchi again. I had a cardamom chai tea, and Rosa served it with hot frothed milk which made the tea taste even better. I was full, but decided to try dessert. I had the lemon (?) and it was divine! I wish I lived nearby so I could eat here regularly. The service was friendly and fast.”

“Great wings and friendly staff”

“Dill pickle chicken grilled cheese is amazing! It’d be my go to meal if it’s on the menu all the time”

“It’s a long way to go for lunch, but easier than driving to New Brunswick when craving a taste of the maritimes!”

“Cruising back from Lake Huron we needed a brunch spot.
There were a bunch of cars in front of Mel’s 4&9 Diner just outside Walkerton so we stepped in.
It is a pretty cool old time diner with just enough room for a kitchen and a few tables.
We were seated at the window, which was nice and everyone dining there was very friendly.
Almost like we were back in the 1950’s when people would actually speak to each other.
The menu has lots of breakfast and lunch options.
My son had the breakfast wrap, I had a toasted Western, my wife had an omelette and my daughter in law had the fish sandwich.
All very good.
The waiter was a very nice young g woman with a big smile, the prices were reasonable and easy to park.
Hope to return one day!”

“With many options in small town Walkerton you had better be one of the best. Don't get fooled by fancy neon signs or "wood fired" blah blah blaw,this place is the real deal .”

“Fresh baked bread for sandwiches. Very friendly staff. Tea biscuits are my favourite dessert.”

“Thursday, July 10. I walked in and ordered an XL one topping pizza 🍕. My kids are picky. They didn’t like pepperoni so I asked for Parmesan cheese instead. They are so generous with cheese. The pizza was so delicious. Everyone in the family really enjoyed it! Thank you!”

“Walkerton Sushi is the absolute best in the area! We have been multiple times and they recognize us when we walk in! Highly recommend their Bubble Tea!”

“The pizza is really good with lots of choices!”

“Stopped in and had a wonderful lunch. Everything was fresh and made correctly.”

“Last night I stopped in for pizza while visiting family. I’m originally from Waterloo, and I just have to say the staff were absolutely wonderful. The two young women working were welcoming, attentive, and really made the experience enjoyable. On top of that, the pizza itself was excellent!

That said, I was very surprised and disappointed when I went to tip. I looked for the option on the payment machine, but when I asked, the staff explained that tips aren’t available through the terminal. In today’s world, very few people carry cash, which means those employees are likely missing out on well-deserved gratuities simply because of a system limitation.

As someone who owns a restaurant in Waterloo, I can say firsthand that tips are not just extra. They’re a vital part of supporting and motivating staff, especially younger workers. For many, it’s spending money that rewards their hard work and provides encouragement to deliver great service. Without an accessible option to tip digitally, you’re not only reducing the earning potential of your team, but also creating a less satisfying guest experience for customers who want to show their appreciation.

Adding a tipping feature on the payment machine would be a small change with a huge impact. It ensures staff are fairly rewarded, it encourages excellent service, and it shows that the business values both its employees and its customers’ experience. With such fantastic staff already in place, it seems only right that they should have the opportunity to benefit fully from the service they provide.”

“Family friendly, warm hearts, kind staff. Foods great and the owners are amazing. Very awesome environment for all ages. Decor is so comforting and the place is so clean.”

“We got a Birthday cake from this location, although they spelt Birtday (birthday) wrong, we had a laugh and it was still delicious. Might just want to make sure to double check their spelling”

“I don’t go often but whenever I go I don’t have any issues. Their prices are getting pretty expensive though. And they’re downsized their in store seating significantly.”

“Always open. Great potato bacon soup.”

“Food and service are good, but it was very hard to find online the opening hours. In fact the hours listed on Yellow Pages online are incorrect.”

“Keep going to Millwoods/Edmonton location. Excellent food and service. Thank you.”

“The best pizza in Hanover. The staff are always friendly as well!”

“Always a great experience at Domino’s Hanover! The staff are super friendly, the food is always hot and fresh, and orders are ready right on time. Delivery is fast too, and everything comes exactly as ordered. Love their pizzas and cheesy bread — definitely my go-to spot in town!”

“I have grown up stopping in here on my way up and back from our cottage. Their pumpkin pies are unmatched I had to go back and get another this week because it was so good. Donuts are incredible- honestly you can’t go wrong with anything in this place. Friendly welcoming service always. If you’re in the area highly recommend you stop in for some goodies. I’ll be missing this place over winter. See you next year!”
