“Josh is the best, he served me and my friends for what was one of the funnest nights out I’ve experienced. 10/10 would come back”
“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.”
“Finally made it to Nolaas for lunch. It was busy , so nice to see. Yummy baked good meet you at the door and before that 3 adorable doggies . Everything was fresh and delicious. Well presented and good portions. I couldn’t help stare at the pecan French toast with whip cream going by, next time 😉 I took a few Goodies to go and ordered 5 Xmas dinners and a Yule log. If you haven’t been you must make a trip. I will be back. Thank you”
“I visited today and it was amazing! The food was delicious and such a wide variety! The robots were really cute! My server Scott was phenomenal as well 😊”
“Korean BBQ Town is amazing and the experience that Chef Marty and Chef Jennie and Sally have created here is unique with their authentic Korean flavours! We greatly enjoyed the third generation kimchi recipe, in-house recipes and secret sauces such as their own soya, garlic, and even balsamic dressing! The smoked meats finished at your table just melted in your mouth! We highly recommend a night out at this outdoor cute spot! Dined here with our 12 year old twins! Thank you Chef Marty and everyone here! The cold noodles were so yummy!!!”

“We love Izumi Sushi! Delicious, fresh & always a delightful presentation! Staff are always welcoming. We’ve enjoyed take-out and eat in. Portions are generous.”
“We had a wonderful time! Food was amazing; flavorful, raffined, authentic - checked all of our boxes! The service by Joey was fabulous, so helpful, with insights for our questions, welcoming and on top of it. We got to discover new things, and we will definitely be back for more. Can’t wait to go back with some friends!”
“My mother and I tonight had just went out for Kelsey’s for supper. I found the place to noisy and hard to hear in conversation at times. Service and food was great, shared this appetizer flatbread with my mother, she enjoyed her wings and onion rings, I had the Big Bacon Double Cheese 🍔 which was fantastic with 🍟 and 🥵 sauce. I was so stuffed after that, three Pepsi Colas to have a cold one after that meal. 5 from me. 😊”

“Delicious, meaty wings with best hot sauce ever! Ordered the Serous and Mango Hab. Courteous service, excellent food!”
“As a first time Kelseys dinee, we were pleasantly surprised by this slightly nicer Applebees of the North. Our server Amy was very pleasant and went above and beyond on a couple of details. The food was good. I had the steak, which was a bit dry - but everyone else loved their food.”

“The ambiance is cozy and uplifting with a distinct European feel. The patio is recommended if the weather accommodates and if only in a party of two.
Service was quick, friendly and helpful.
The food was excellent. The chicken schnitzel is recommended. It seems to be the most popular selection by the restaurant’s patrons.
We also tried their smash burger which was generous in size and garnishing. Had a very homemade feel.
Lots of interesting menu items to try in the future so we will surely return.”

“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.”
“I’ve never been a butter tart fan - BUT that has changed forever (if they’re from 13th Street’s Bakery) I picked up a couple pecan nut butter tarts and raspberry & Coconut butter tarts!! Wow I’m in love from the flaky pastry to the Devine filling💕💕💕💕. Oh and their breads - definitely worth a visit. We will back very soon. Thank You🌸 PS - They deliver too 🙌”
“It was very good. My favorite Thai restaurant. The flavors are fantastic and hit every sense of taste. My only disappointment was that the panang curry and mango curry had almost no veggies in them. Usually there is a good array of colored peppers and onion in them.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Visited over the summer while visiting the area. Food and service were exceptional. Ribs and cornbread were the best,! Look forward to going back again.”
“We ate here last night and were so impressed with the variety of food and the taste ! My husband is not plant based but ended up ordering and loved everything we ordered ! Highly recommend”
“I stopped by Duru for dinner while I was in St. Catharines for just one night, and I’m so glad I did. The food was absolutely fantastic and the staff were incredibly hospitable and friendly. I ordered the sweet and sour fried chicken and the spicy tteokbokki, and both dishes were incredible and packed with flavours.
The portions were generous, and the meal was exactly what I was hoping for. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into the food here. If you’re anywhere in Niagara region and looking for great Korean food, I’d definitely recommend giving Duru a try. I’ll be sure to visit again.”

“A&W has never let me down, it is the only fast food that I will go to, the breakfast is cooked to your specifications and brought to your table and the coffee is perfect. My favourite teen burger and in fact all the burgers are delicious.of course the root beer is so good I keep some cans in my fridge.”
“Faizan and Zahira made the visit feel easy and genuine.
Ordered a Grandpa Burger with onion rings and a root beer everything came out fresh and well put together.
They paid attention to small details without making it feel forced.
Service felt real, not scripted, which I appreciated.
Definitely a smooth and pleasant experience.”
“We ordered 100 tarts from Scott for daughters wedding. Scott individually wrapped an assortment of tarts including Skor, Turtles, Raisonette, etc. We used them as favours at each table setting and the rest were left on a tray by the door. There were none left! Guests are still raving about the most delicious butter tarts they ever had!! A big hit at the wedding! Thanks so much Scott! Will definitely be ordering from you again!”
“My husband and I were attending to some business in the area and decided to grab a burger prior to leaving for home (it had been a long day).
We stopped in close to 4:30pm and the place was pretty full. There were two staff members working, which I thought was already unusual for that time of day, who were not only attending to us inside but to the drive-through as well.
As there were people around waiting for their meals I thought perhaps some would complain but no one did. Instead, everyone could see how efficiently these two staff members worked together and how pleasant the counter person and the other member, who was entirely focused on their preparations, were that it was actually quite impressive to observe.
In what seemed like no real time at all, we had all been served, given our food, and just like that the rush was over! :)
When my husband and I were finished our food I made it a point to go back to the counter to ask the names of the staff persons there and I want to send a HUGE, HUGE shout-out to Josh and Wes!
You two should be acknowledged for how well you handled that sudden influx of customers by delivering GREAT customer service, delicious, hot food, and for taking such pride in the cleanliness of the restaurant.
I hope the owners get to see this review because you two (Josh and Wes) did a FANTASTIC job at representing them today.
Thank you”
“I'm a regular customer at this location, and the night shift team always provides outstanding service. Nav, Simer and Isha are especially friendly, professional, and welcoming every time I visit. They make sure my order is accurate, serve fresh coffee, and always greet customers with a positive attitude, even during busy late”
“I stopped by after driving in from Toronto late at night, and by the time I got there it was close to 11:00 p.m. I was exhausted, and unfortunately my burger order wasn’t made correctly. Adam was incredibly kind, professional, and quick to help fix the issue without making it a hassle. He really went out of his way to make sure everything was right, and I genuinely appreciated it after such a long day.
It’s honestly a shame to see him stuck in the kitchen because his customer service skills are excellent—he’d be amazing in a front service role. Thanks again, Adam, for turning a disappointing experience into a great one. Outstanding service overall!”
“Felt like I was stepping back into my high school days when I walked in here. The place was clean, the attendant was extremely polite and communicative, and the food was fresh. Got a sausage McMuffin and coffee maybe 60 seconds after the order went through. Special shout out to Joanne!”
“Never been to a Tim Hortons before. For others that might not have been to one before it feels a lot like a Dunken Donuts but better. The breakfast sandwiches are certainly better according to our son the donuts were as well. The coffee was hot and tasted good as well.”
“I recently moved to St. Catharines and ordered a takeout. It was the best Greek food I ever tasted and the fish was exquisitely seared along with plenty to eat. - No long wait after ordering either! The price was excellent too. Highly recommended!!”

“Ermagerd! Stacked in St Catherines is wonderful right from the moment we walked in the door. The greeting was inviting, friendly and welcoming. The service was quick, consistent and happy. The food was top shelf. I am gluten sensitivie so I naturally thought my choice would be bacon, eggs, fruit - not that there is anything wrong with that but to my surprise Stacked offered GF items such as the gluten-free Cinnabon pancakes. 2 of my faves rolled into one. Although I didn't choose this at this service, my brain and tastebuds were resigned to an omelette and home fries, this means I will be returning to try some other menu items. Thank you for a cheery Sunday morning”
“We had an excellent experience at Wind tonight- there was an unfortunate event of a medical emergency, in which the staff reacted with the upmost compassion and professionalism. The guest quietly insisted on covering the drinks for the people around them (which was so so so kind & unnecessary- but thank you ❤️ just glad you are okay), and Wind covered an additional round if we were interested, which was totally above and beyond for a circumstance outside of anyone’s control. My deepest gratitude & well wishes go towards the guest who had a tough night- that was so kind & generous of you, I hope you’re doing well ❤️ and to the staff who maintained a positive energy & professional manner, job well done, everything was handled so courteously & thoughtfully.”
“Service was excellent with Maddie as our server, she was very interactive with us and made the dinner very pleasant. The food was great as well, we had the new summer menu items. Overall everything was awesome.”
“I think I found my new favourite local restaurant. Fried chicken is to die for. Great service and ambiance too.”

“I stopped by for a coffee and a pastry, and everything was absolutely wonderful. ☕🥐
The atmosphere was great, the service was quick, and everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The coffee and pastry were delicious ( specially, raspberry danish), and I really enjoyed my visit.
Thank you Maggie for the lovely experience! I’ll definitely be coming back again. ❤”
“Discovered this hidden gem today in st. Catharines. Walked in to a delicious smelling spot. The lavender latte and cream cheese stuffed pretzel were a yummy morning treat. Wide variety of treats and drinks. The man behind the counter was welcoming, friendly, and patient while I decided what treats to get for me and the kids. Reasonable prices.”
“A 10/10 must stop foodie restaurant. We enjoyed 1) the gobbler: a vegan spin on a thanksgiving sandwich with gravy for dipping and 2) the halloumi hot honey sandwich: a vegan hot grilled halloumi cheese with pesto and tofu bacon jam with greens. Both of our dishes were excellent for taste, texture, and presentation. Thank you Heather for hosting us and answering all our menu questions. So many choices and styles of dishes here at Rise Above. Truly a must stop shop! We will be returning tomorrow for a homemade vegan pumpkin cheesecake.”

“The sourdough sandwiches are to die for. The crunchy yet spongy texture of the bread made every bite enjoyable. Also, their cakes and cookies were very good. Not overly sweet and you could taste the goodness. Also, the employees were very nice and helpful. They made me feel comfortable and welcomed. I will be returning again for more.”
“I'm pretty sure this place is called or at least has the sign "Mom's Breakfast and Lunches". And I have never been to be honest. But I saw this place from an influencer who did a series of videos on this place trying to become a "Regular" at the restaurant. Julia and TJ are the owners and the chefs and the servers in the small rustic beautiful place. And they are genuinely lovely, beautiful people with great auras all around. They went thru a tough time during and after covid. People like these should never have rough times. So go support them and get the Cutlet on a Kaiser with the Po-Do grape drink and show them some love!! <3”
“We went with groups of 3, 6 16 and 24 over ten days this June. We were running an event at the Canada Games Park for over 20 countries and the Cat's Caboose became our de facto home. I would highly recommend it.”

“It's reasonably priced wine list for Wednesdays. I live in an apartment just above. It's on my list as I haven't had time to go in but looking forward to when I am able. I might do another review after because four stars turn into five stars!”
“Came here for a work party, great service and incredible food!”
“Food was amazing and portions were huge! Service was excellent. I am looking forward to my next visit 😁”

“The definition of a hole in a wall restaurant. Which is typically what you get the best most authentic food any part of the country you go to. Great atmosphere, great service, authentic Thai flavors!”
“We love to go in Tuesday and Wednesday. Happy hour and sit and play a game! Service is always great!”
“The atmosphere was incredible, they’ve curated a decor that is instantly striking and a very fun aesthetic, having a sort of low down feel, while still seeming clean. Wait times were a tad long, but the food was very worth it.”
“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!”
“Wow! Cheryl made the cake based on photos my teenager found online. it looked amazing. We chose chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling and it was AMAZING! Moist and chocolately layers. The taste was so much better than my expectations. Thank you Cheryl!!”
“Great dinner! Awesome flavors!! People here are amazing!! Love, Love!!”
“Really nice place with amazing staff. Next visit in the area, I will make sure to go back.”
“As an older resident of St Catharines the only complaint I would mention is the God awful noise ...The younger generation love this I assume but I dont .We try and go at off times so its a bit quieter or sit in the back room . that helps ...BUT food and service always excellent !!”
“First time user and wow what a difference this product makes. Doesn't even compare to the rest. I can actually say I Love this!!!!”

“Just ordered from here for the first time. Best sushi I have ever had! Very fresh, and tasted so so good! Found my new sushi place! Thank you!”
“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.”
“Romby's is a little treasure in St.Catharines if you are looking for cold reasonably priced beer and great inexpensive food. Take a drive to Romby's..the brisket sandwich was spiced to perfection Delish ! .My friends ordered the rice bowl filled with veggies and chicken. Our server Ann was lovely and friendly..she was the only server on a busy soccer game day! Thank you for your great service! Bravo!! Definitely coming back on date night with my boyfriend. Lol”
“Amazing dinner last night! Everything was so fresh! The manicotti was one of the best I've had!”
“We returned to a family favourite after 30 years to find the food and service as incredible as always. Authentic and extremely delicious food, fantastic service and we left happy and full! Thank you to our wonderful server, grandson of original Big Marco for looking after us so very well. Highly recommend the pizzas, panzerotti, manicotti and anything that comes with their delicious pasta sauce!”
“Very noisy in side but the service & the sustenance provided was ideal. A place I'd considered going back to order from.
Edit as of February 2026:
Noise level has substantially lessened
Jazz ambient music 🎶 was amazing
back ground tunes to ease the mind.
Service was still excellent &
my beverage 🧋 was made
exactly how I requested.
Best 🧋 place in the city!”
“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! :)”
“Had a great experience at Jo Blo's in St. Catharines! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service really stood out. Our server, Lauren, was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our visit. She was knowledgeable about the menu and checked in regularly without being intrusive. Thanks to Lauren's excellent service, we had a fantastic dining experience. We'll definitely be back!
Pizza, wings. Chicken ceasar salad”
“Everything seemed prepared fresh. Friendly staff answered all our questions about the menu. They will prepare to any spice level as well so even if you don't like it super hot they can accommodate. I recommend the butter chicken and mango lassi.”
“Hot honey wings and garlic parmesan tenders literally changed my life. I’m from the states, but was staying in St.Caths for a week and ordered from this place more times than I’d like to admit. Everything from the amount of sauce to the seasoning on the fries was perfect. Hands down the best wings I’ve ever had.”
“Was highly recommended from a friend, went for our NYE dinner, was an easy 5 star experience. Our server was Edson who was amazing, very attentive, kind & all around good vibes! I had a paloma, which was well-made though not with grapefruit juice... rarely do I enjoy a paloma made without grapefruit juice but this one was a good one! We ordered enchiladas verdes with rice, quesa birria, and a mixed skewer plate with rice... everything was delicious! You can taste the freshness and authentic Mexican flavours. For the skewers, shrimp and octopus were our favourites, chicken was last and beef was standard. The fried plantain was cooked to perfection. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner Antonio who welcomed us with tequila shots! The decor and details of the establishment are beautiful and the best part was the latin music vibes that had us feeling like we really were at a local bar in Mexico. Will be back for my carajillo!”
“Carol Legedza Goldman and Lorrie ImaYid Goldman had an amazing anniversary dinner at the The Blue Mermaid Seafood & Steakhouse last night. The food and service were outstanding. The staff were so friendly and attentive and a big shoutout to Vicky and Nick and the rest of the staff. We will absolutely be back and highly recommend to all in the Niagara region. Thank you!”
“Great location to sit and chill near the beach. Great patio with good views of the passing cars. Service is normally great and food is excellent with good choices including healthy options. The burger is great as was the salmon bowl.”
“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!”
“Great place to come for a date or simply enjoy the beautiful backyard scenery. The upper deck is exactly what this place is known for! Definitely try to visit on a nice day so you can sit out back and take in the views. You won't regret it!”
“My nephew and I purchase our custom-made beer from this location I have never had an issue or problem with the beer process it's been comfortable for me to pick it up from my kegerator they have many different varieties to suit everyone's taste not sure”
“Exceptional service from SK! He was respectful, prompt, and very attentive. His dedication to providing a great guest experience did not go unnoticed. We greatly appreciated his efforts.”
“Lunch with Liver with double veggies! my wife had Chicken wrap and chips!! Excellent quality and portion size!”
“Best pizza & wings in Niagara region, perfect place for chill beer 🍻 & wine 🍷.highly recommend this place.”
“The Lazy Lizard was hopping last night- we enjoyed delicious food (the broasted chicken is my absolute favourite!) Service started out as a 2/10 from 3 servers, when we were seated I asked for a drink menu and was told they didn’t have one (when we were there 2 weeks ago and our server provided us with one). My fiancé spotted our server from 2 weeks ago (Andy) and went over and asked her for a drink menu; in which she reached above her head and gave him one. The server (our original server that started with us tonight) that told me they didn’t have a drink menu never looked in our direction for the rest of the night. She continued to deal with tables around us, but ignored us, and continued to talk with the other servers working & spent 10 minutes standing at a table talking to what we presumed to be friends. Not only was Andy serving the patio, she was also taking care of us and multiple other tables inside. She got our food order, drink orders etc. I went as far as to ask her if they split tips or keep them, and disappointingly she said they split them. We would have tipped Andy heavily if she was alone/getting the tip herself, but was modest in tipping because the 3 other servers would have got it as well. Andy is attentive, friendly, and a 10/10. She really cares about the service you receive!”
“Great place to chill with friends! The beer was cold, tasty, and easy to enjoy. The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. I came for one drink... somehow stayed for a few more. Definitely worth a visit! 🍻”
“Such a fun place! Went with my family for dinner and the pizza/wings combo was yummy!”
“THE ABSOLUTE BEST! Absolutely fabulous Indian food. Authentic and so flavourful. Would recommend to anyone! A MUST if you are looking for a great spot in the Niagara region!”
“From the moment we entered MA, we had a wonderful experience. Our waiter, Danny, was informative and attentive. He made us feel comfortable and at home. He asked what we liked, he suggested different dishes and other dishes that would compliment each other. And we LOVED EVERYTHING that he suggested! We had Noodles with eggplant, crispy bean curd skin stuffed with BBQ pork, Turnip Pudding w/ Chinese Sausage, Steamed ribs w/ black bean sauce, Lobster w/ scallions & ginger, steamed sponge cake w/ mango and buns filled w/ custard and egg yolk.Everything was so good. I would eat here everyday if we lived here! Top notch service from Danny, he is so pleasant. We will definitely be back before we leave to go home! And maybe stock up in some dishes to take home! ? Thank you for a great dining experience. Sincerely, Valerie & Bruce Barnes West Virginia USA”
“The food....wow, very italian, fresh ingredients, made from scratch. Very friendly, good service, quiet relaxed, reasonable prices...an all around excellent dining experience.”
“Amazing atmosphere and fantastic pizza! Love this place and will be back :)”
“I had the gnocchi poutine for appetizer and the social burger with house salad for my entrée. The poutine was certainly different, but it and the entrée tasted good. The atmosphere was very warm and inviting. Very friendly staff, and great service. Will definitely return.”
“We had a lunch date at Kully's today and it was excellent. The food was fresh, flavorful and came within a good period of time. I ordered a Miller lite, my friend ordered cocktails and was happy with how good they were. The server was friendly and attentive, took our orders and customized mine with ease, and the other server was also delightful! He would come out and check in when our first server was busy, ask if we needed anything, etc. Overall excellent service, food was delicious, drinks were wonderful! We will return another day ☺️”
“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 😊”
“Fantastic service , great food, friendly organized staff! Will definitely go back 👏🏻”
“As a vegetarian, finding a genuinely good veggie pizza is surprisingly hard. Sounds simple, right?! Well… apparently not! 😂
This loaded veggie pizza was an absolute medley of flavours. The onions were perfectly, sweet, well roasted and caramelized and the peppers complemented them SO well. Every topping had its place, and every bite was delicious!
You must try this place. You definitely won’t regret going… but you will regret NOT going! 🙃”
“We visited Cora for the first time yesterday. We ordered a meal consisting of Eggs Benedict with prosciutto, sun dried tomatoes and arugula. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly to order and the dish was delicious. It was served with potatoes (excellent), and assorted fruit (banana, kiwi, grapes, orange, apple, watermelon and cantaloupe). The second dish consisted of 2 eggs made to order, potatoes, 1 piece of strawberry French Toast and sausages. This dish was also excellent, very yummy! Our server Brady was terrific. He was warm and friendly, efficient and knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere was clean and bright. The washrooms were very clean. This was a perfect experience in every way. We would definitely recommend Cora and give 5/5 stars to them.”
“It's a great place to hang out downtown St Catharines. Trivia nights are awesome. They have a special menu for every day of the week.”
“My daughter and I frequent this establishment and we have never been disappointed. The service is speedy and courteous. The food is very good in taste and quality. It’s very reasonably priced and the restaurant is clean and has a wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys sushi, or would like to try it.”
“Love this place and it's so convenient...Lots of parking, food is good and service is too.”
“Finally got back inside after the hubbub of all the worldly things and was very happy with our food and the service. Ordered the Chicken Sandwich (Spicy) with fries and the BBLT with house salad. (Fries *and* salad are for sharing!) Both meals tasty, hot and the fries, I must say, were perfect. Although not such a great list of beers on tap, the Oast Barn Raiser is a reliable choice and available. Prices are good and with inflation recently hurting everyone and everything, I think the value for money is quite good. Planning to be back again!”
“Went here with a Senior Citizen trip of about 46 people in June. Wondering what to expect being a restaurant attached to a motel and a bowling alley! We got there a little early but did call ahead. The mgr lept to the challenge and got things ready for us. The Wait staff was EXCELLENT. It was a buffet with simple entrees, salad, rolls. Serve your own coffee, tea. We did not hear the bowling alley. The rest. is well decorated, clean, nice furniture. The meat loaf could have been more well done. Dessert was a huge board of assorted greats! Don't pass this place by.”
“Wide variety of food , waitress requested a few special requests as well for us :) Definitely will return Loved the decor as well”
“A really nice place for a alone female to visit staff was frand welcoming and extremely kind
She was attentive to her customers and very friendly which made me want to stay longer for another drink and the Chilli (which was amazing)”
“Great place, always have a good time when I go there, and the food is amazing!!”
“I am absolutely obsessed with the strawberry banana smoothies, all of my friends who have tried it tell me its their go to drink after. Though the prices are a bit much, small for $7 medium for $11 both with tax.”
“This place doesn't get credit for how busy it is or that it's a fast food place. People rate harshly for miner issues. Obviously They have never worked in this environment. I get it, things get messed up, happens to every business. What sets this one apart is that they actually go out of their way to fix it! They forgot cheese on my breadsticks and send another order. This costs them money. They answered the phone, and were kind and helpful. Even wrote sorry on the box. In the end we got our breadsticks and they also offered a credit first.
For all this 5 stars. Food was hot, perfect and customer service was great! Thanks again!”
“It was alright, but I have only been twice once for pick up and the other for a quick snack. I loved the Walnut cake, spanakopita and dips and my friend enjoyed whatever gyros they got.
Any true test is the saganaki (as far as I am concerned) alongside a proper Octi”
“in my opinion the best pizza to have. Consistently fantastic food. Love the "Quad". Wings and subs are delicious. Also great owners and staff...”
“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.”
“great music with multiple varieties❣️10 out of 10 best bouncers!! seemed very organized One pulled up seats for my friend and I all around great time and will be back!”
“Was staying in the hotel next door for the weekend. Needed somewhere that had FUBO Sports to watch the final day of the English Premier League football season. Megan, behind the bar, could not have been more helpful. She accommodated every request with a smile on her face. (And $9 Schooners on the Sunday doesn't hurt either!)”

“It was very good. My favorite Thai restaurant. The flavors are fantastic and hit every sense of taste. My only disappointment was that the panang curry and mango curry had almost no veggies in them. Usually there is a good array of colored peppers and onion in them.”
“As an older resident of St Catharines the only complaint I would mention is the God awful noise ...The younger generation love this I assume but I dont .We try and go at off times so its a bit quieter or sit in the back room . that helps ...BUT food and service always excellent !!”

“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.”
“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!”
“I'm pretty sure this place is called or at least has the sign "Mom's Breakfast and Lunches". And I have never been to be honest. But I saw this place from an influencer who did a series of videos on this place trying to become a "Regular" at the restaurant. Julia and TJ are the owners and the chefs and the servers in the small rustic beautiful place. And they are genuinely lovely, beautiful people with great auras all around. They went thru a tough time during and after covid. People like these should never have rough times. So go support them and get the Cutlet on a Kaiser with the Po-Do grape drink and show them some love!! <3”
“Graduated Brock with a Masters in 2024, but I still love to go back and get Nobu's Noodles. My favourite is the curry beef on rice, served up by the owners. It is comforting and addictive. Seating in the International Building is bright and comfortable, although it could be a little quieter; I keep thinking I should try the ramen but I am hooked on the curry.”

“A&W has never let me down, it is the only fast food that I will go to, the breakfast is cooked to your specifications and brought to your table and the coffee is perfect. My favourite teen burger and in fact all the burgers are delicious.of course the root beer is so good I keep some cans in my fridge.”
“Never been to a Tim Hortons before. For others that might not have been to one before it feels a lot like a Dunken Donuts but better. The breakfast sandwiches are certainly better according to our son the donuts were as well. The coffee was hot and tasted good as well.”
“I stopped by after driving in from Toronto late at night, and by the time I got there it was close to 11:00 p.m. I was exhausted, and unfortunately my burger order wasn’t made correctly. Adam was incredibly kind, professional, and quick to help fix the issue without making it a hassle. He really went out of his way to make sure everything was right, and I genuinely appreciated it after such a long day.
It’s honestly a shame to see him stuck in the kitchen because his customer service skills are excellent—he’d be amazing in a front service role. Thanks again, Adam, for turning a disappointing experience into a great one. Outstanding service overall!”
“Clean and a good place to rest and eat. I didn't like or rather I wasn't used to washrooms being locked for customers and having to be remote unlocked by employees, but i get it due to the area and maybe some people who abuse and make a mess out of the washrooms.
I ordered from the app and got my food delivered. Good service and good food. I often come by here for work to drop off a group to do their shopping and eating around this area since there's plenty of stores. So I'm sure I'll stop in here again.”

“Spring rolls free with order. Salad had a citrus dressing which I enjoyed. The stir fired noodles was very tasty. The chicken wings had a good honey soy flavor and the beef with noodles soup and rice was very flavorful and delicious. Beef bibimbap had a good amount of vegetables and delicious as well”
“Had an amazing experience at Churches Chicken today. The food was fresh, hot, and full of flavour, but what really made the visit stand out was the customer service. Kamalpreet and Joban were absolutely brilliant — welcoming, polite, and genuinely went above and beyond to make everything perfect. You can tell they really care about the customers and take pride in their work. Service like that is rare these days. Definitely one of the best experiences I’ve had at Churches Chicken. Will 100% be coming back!”
“He had a very nice time! Our servers Helen, Ashlee and Selene were very kind and made my son’s birthday lunch a real treat. Thanks so much!”
