Well-balanced, not too spicy and the sauce was good too, it was like sweet, tangy, savory, and a little bit spicy as well. The Mac N Cheese was pretty standard, I normally don't like the dish itself, but this one proved me wrong. Tenders and fries were also great, both covered in a spicy seasoning, The tenders weren't super crunchy, but they were freshly made. The fries were nicely crunchy however, providing a crisp that the tenders didn't. The buttermilk ranch sauce was a bit bland, didn't really do much for the meal. The service was fairly quick as well, staff was friendly and helpful in choosing the right option.

Ambiance is great, good place to sit and overall a chill environment. The staff is really great, they were nice and sweet and had really good recommendations for what to get including sauces, I'd personally recommend the JB comeback sauce. Overall very good experience.

What can I say about L.A. FRANKS?…read more It's a quirky little spot on Water Street North. Their menu signs are playful and bright. They've got terrific staff. They serve burgers, fries, shakes, hot dogs, poutine, onion rings, chicken and ice cream. It's home of the Holey Burger and fresh cut French fries. And they carry all the fixings you want on your hot dogs. Since 1993 they've been at it running this joint for 30 years which has become a Cambridge fixture. You cannot miss the bright yellow awning and colourful signs as you pass by this bright landmark. They're open rain or shine. From 11:30-8 daily. They sell sodas along with an ice cold drinks like their Strawberry Lemonade. It's pink and fruity, sweet and sour. Honestly they have the best chili cheese fries. Topped with zig zags of ooey gooey orange coloured cheese sauce that makes it oh so good. Also ate a KRAUT DOG - which comes topped with sauerkraut and bacon. You know the saying that there's always room for ice cream? They serve Shaw's Ice Cream made from 100% Canadian Dairy Cream in Southwestern Ontario. Carl Shaw founded Shaw's Ice Cream in St. Thomas, Ontario in 1948 but Tillsonburg is home to their new ice cream production facility. L.A. FRANKS serves up ice cream in cones, and they also make thick 20 oz Malted Milk Shakes, plus good old fashioned Ice Cream Floats. There was an era when I only ever selected Bubble Gum flavour everything, including ice cream cones. Fun fact that the place was named after the owners kids named Lisa and Adam hence L.A. Franks.

The beef patties were good quality and had a nice grilled flavour. For the poutine, they were very generous with the pulled pork and we were happy to see real cheese curds. Even though the curds did not squeak, the poutine still hit the spot. Thanks for feeding us delicious food so we have the energy to fight the 401 traffic!

Location: Middle of farm country…read more Parking: Lots. Although it's pretty busy there, so you may have to circle a bit if you want to park really close Building: It is pretty big and there's an entrance and an exit door although I don't think they're labeled.Just everyone knows. You walk into the store part, and then you turn to the left to go, put your name down to go to the restaurant. The restaurant waiting area is pretty big. They have church pew seed thing along the walls, and there's things you can look at Food: I think the thing they're known for is they're broasted chicken. I didn't get it it just looks like fried chicken I don't know what broasted is but a lot of people got it. They also have meats of the day. When I went the meats were the chicken, turkey and pork chop. Why I was waiting to be seated I was talking to a couple and a couple things were recommended the turkey dinner because they said it would be like having Thanksgiving in the summer and pick the cheddar biscuit. Every meal includes a fresh from the oven biscuit. Oh I have to say the menu does have other things on it like hamburgers and I think chicken fingers and such but most people just went for the meats of the day. That I could see So I got the turkey you can get small medium or large they suggest small for seniors so I picked a medium which was a lot of food and I'm a big eater. I also got a slice of pie there's a bakery with a lot Kadish you can buy and they fresh bake all the pies in the morning for us and I got a rhubarb custard pie and it was delicious. Actually the whole meal was fantastic so I got a turkey with stuffing mashed potatoes gravy corn cranberry sauce and a biscuit and a pie. It was absolutely delicious. I just wish that it was closer because I would love to go more. Everyone was friendly the food was good and they sell bakery items frozen items gift ware. I can see why it's really busy Oh I forgot to mention there's also a little farmers market in the parking lot Okay think that's it. So I would go again in heartbeat

It's literally a garden that features picnic…read moretables and shade umbrellas, a limited but well executed menu, and is suitable for kids and doggos. (They even have a couple of portable giant Connect 4 games.) And, of course, there's beer. We've stopped in a couple of times and enjoyed the garden level and sometimes communal picnic tables. Many are partially shaded by trees. This last trip we climbed the stairs and sat at more conventional tables and chairs that also had umbrellas and seemed less favoured by families with small children. Service is casual but quick, we were welcomed and sent upstairs with menus to find our own table. The greeter/server had a tray full of drinks but stopped to mid-service for us. She followed shortly afterwards and took our drink orders and after returning with our beverages she took our meal orders. Both my Whistle Dog and my spouse's Burger were well prepared and we found the large fries we ordered were more than we needed. I was surprised and delighted by the smoke grill flavour of my Whistle Dog. There are condiments on the table including both Malt and White Vinegars. Yes, the potatoes for the fries were fresh cut. We'll continue to frequent the Bru Garden when visiting Stratford. It's set back a bit from the bustle of Ontario St and Downie St but is steps away from the Avon Theatre.

We were walking home from dinner in downtown Stratford and stumbled upon this cute beer garden, so…read morewe stopped in for a drink. It was a very popular place. Almost all of the tables were taken and it was much more spacious than we realized. It was all outside and had a very cozy feel. It was shaded by trees and the ground was soft with wood shavings. The Bru Garden had a limited menu but from what we could see the food looked very appetizing. The drinks were easy to order and came in sturdy plastic ware. The food was being made in a permanently placed food truck. It appeared the garden was built around the food truck. The staff were friendly and helpful. It is also a child friendly atmosphere. We would definitely stop in for another drink and try something off of the food menu.

A symphony of sugar: from the caramelized outside to the more complex interior, where the consistency ranges depending on serving temperature. The crust is just enough to keep form, but soft, eggy, and wheaty enough to provide a light base and counterpoint for the sweetness! And, flavors! Deliciously curated: plain, pecan, raisin, salted caramel, Score Bar, and Reese's Pieces. A roomful of Ontarians confirmed: best THEY'D ever had! I'm not surprised to hear Frannie's won awards and is renowned among those who know. I'm bringing a dozen back to NYC, woefully deprived of this peak buttertart experience! Not to mention Frannie's neighborly customer service and simple delight in baking and spreading joy. She gamely baked up a batch to travel to our Toronto party, and a special dozen to travel further down to NYC, where local foodies are gobsmacked with revelation and delight! Thanks, Frannie!

We ordered two iced lattes: raspberry and lavender. They were ok, but nothing particularly memorable regarding the roasted beans they used. The bamboo straws were also frustratingly flimsy and kept breaking, which was especially annoying since the syrups settled at the bottom and you really needed the straws to mix the drinks properly. The major issue was the food service. We ordered a cinnamon bun and the Pregnant Sasquatch sandwich alongside our drinks, then waited nearly 30 minutes while watching people who ordered after us receive their food. When I finally went up to ask, it turned out the cashier had forgotten to send our order to the kitchen. This was stressful since we had an appointment in Toronto later in the afternoon. The cinnamon bun was then handed to us, which was sitting on the counter the whole time. Another 15 minutes later, a staff member came over to tell us they had run out of the artisan bun for the sandwich, so we had to choose an alternative. At that point, after all the delays and confusion, it honestly felt like some kind of compensation would've been appropriate. I ended up switching to sourdough bread. After waiting yet another 10 minutes, I asked if we could just cancel the sandwich altogether. The cashier assured us it was coming, and it finally arrived about 5 minutes later. To be fair, when I asked what happened, the cashier explained that they were very busy. But - there wasn't even much of a line when we placed our order, so the explanation didn't really add up. And unfortunately, after nearly an hour of waiting and spending around $30 on drinks and food, the sandwich itself was mid at best, Overall, the experience just didn't live up to the hype, and we probably won't be back.
