We celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary on May 23rd, 2026 and chose Speekezzies Cafe & Wine Bar…read morein Brantford for our big celebration dinner - little did we know we were about to have an 'amazing' dining experience (for real) !! As soon as we walked in the door we knew this restaurant was as special as the reviews stated. Family owned, 'extremely clean', outstanding food, spectacular service, so much fun and with plenty of room between tables - then we met Anthony (the amazing owner) with 35+ years experience in hospitality, as well as Anthony's mother Maria, Heather, Olivia and Matthew - what a great Team !! We 'highly' recommend Speekezzies for your next dinner outing - and suggest reservations as the 'secret' is out. Nice job Anthony, Maria and Team - we'll be back soon ! Our very best, Greg + Deb

We weren't informed so honestly we had no clue! But i have to say thanks to Elaine and this one other lady they managed to take us in... This probably was our shortest date ever! The ambience was nice and the food was pretty great !! The service was great because Elaine was the kindest server .... We will definitely go back (but probably for an early dinner)

This place is by far one of the worst restaurants I have ever been to. If I could give it 0…read morestars I would. We were a foursome out for dinner. The waitress was very pleasant, and the ONLY good part of this experience. We ordered the the saganaki for an appetizer. It came out cold in the middle. It was sent back and a second one came out. A touch warmer than the last one but still far from perfect. The cheese also had an off taste. I ordered the ribs with rice and fries. The ribs looked horrible when they arrived, And by far the most disgusting thing I have ever tasted. I took one bite and couldn't eat any more. They had freezer burn texture, and the smell off them was terrible. Needless to say I didn't eat any of it. 2 of the people in our group ordered the pollo Bianco pizza. It was dry, and the bottom was burnt. The flavour was terrible. Both pizzas were left on the table with only a bite out of the one slice. The 4th order a gyro, and while they ate most of it, they stated it was definitely was sub par. When we told the waitress we were done and didn't want any replacement food just the bill, The owner insulted us by only taking 10% of the bill, saying it's was the best he could do. I had a talk with the owner and after a conversation regarding how horrible the food was and how we didn't eat any of it, he was reluctant but took more off the bill. We were tempted to up and walk out, but we found out that any unpaid tables the waitress has to pay for. We didn't want that. So we paid the new bill. During that time the owner (who is also the cook) must have said something to the waitress because she seemed quite upset. We kept reassuring her that she did a great job and none of this was her fault. But we all had the feeling that the manager told her other wise! This place is a horrible establishment with even worse management. Save yourself the hassle, your money, and go some where else!

It won't be a religious experience, but it's fast, tasty and cheap ($5 for a medium!). I'm not a huge fan of their "Brick Oven" sauce, but my in-laws love it (it's just too sweet for me). Wings are pretty good, too. Be aware it's cash only, so make sure you've got some coin on you before you order.

I understand that they are busy but this stuck out to mem The pizza: the first time i went the pizza wasnt even in the oven yet, i actually seen them take it out of a fridge and place it in once I arrived. The second time, it was as if the toppings were thrown on with no care. barelly and cheese and the toppings were all clumped in the middle. I will attach photo below. When i showed the pizza to thr girl her words were "thats unfortunate" and walked tonthe back. Non of this should surprise me tho, this place is ran by children. I wont be back.
