The food quality was good but a bit pricey at $24 but what place isn't these days? My only disappointment was the two peameal slices we rather thin. I expected thicker slices or more slices. Worth a stop, anyway. They have lots of picnic tables that are cleaned frequently. Everything looked clean and tidy including the garbage and recycling containers. They also collect soda/pop can tabs so if you are looking to drop yours off somewhere, this is the place. Willy's is definitely a recommended roadside snack shack.

A medium poutine was a ton of food. Every time I've been there the owners come out and chat with you, they are super friendly. We will be back next time we are at the quarry for sure

Not sure how many chip stands there are in Fergus but this has to be the best. Very fresh fries…read more Good sized portions. Cheap prices. I am from Northern Ontario where chip stands are everywhere. I would suggest the fries here are to or exceeding the standard of the legendary Sturgeon Falls chip stands. I look forward to going back and trying the burgers.

Had the poutine and it was one of the best I've tried (I've probably tried over 60, lol Canadian thing I guess). Again, if you're passing through Shakespeare, stop in and say hi and try the amazing food.

Stopped for lunch today and was very disappointed. I…read moreordered 4 wings ($6) after asking if they were frozen and being told no. Took quite a while and when I got it my wings there was a very cold spot on the wing I tried (almost icy). Possibly touching another wing when he heated them up. He did offer to "re-heat" them but I requested my money back. Was advertised as having an eastern flavor. The little I did taste wasn't bad but was not great, and they were very small for $1.50/each. If I want re-heated left overs I will bring my own. I also ordered a pork kabob but was told there didn't seem to be any so I switched to beef. It was just ok... nothing special. Could have used a bit more flavor and toppings. There was lots of choice on the menu, but he would be better off to stick to a few things he can prepare properly. I can not see him being open long if he serves food like this.

It was closed :( We tried again on Saturday late afternoon, thinking it'll be closed but took the chance and drove by again anyways. IT WAS OPENED and we were all so happy lol. Same comments as my last review. Large af portions and everything about it was just SOO good. Definitely my to go poutine place when I'm in this area.

We decided to stop by here for some fish and chips. This place is busy even at 2pm. We were met…read morewith Christmas music in July and great hospitality. The owner explained that the cod tongues were like the neck of the cod and had a chewier texture (like calamari) while the cod cheeks were tender and more like scallop texture. Food: Cod tongue with onion rings - you get a dozen or some pieces of deep fried cod tongue - they were pretty good though I'm not sure I'm a connoisseur enough to appreciate it. Still great though! 4/5. Cod cheeks were also quite good with a similar number of pieces. Again, I probably couldn't appreciate well enough the difference between the two so they seemed similar but still tasty. The custom lemon, dill sauce was great to dip in! 4/5. Pickerel - this is a massive piece of fish and chip. The batter is delicious and the fish was moist and flaky. Totally with every dollar! Beside the fish and chips is a ice cream stand that sells kawartha dairy in massive scoops. Be aware that small is two huge scoops, baby is 1.5 huge scoops! Price: Pretty reasonable for fish and chips, and great value for ice cream! Definitely recommend if your a big fish and chips fan!

I am so happy that we did because the pistachio gelato I ordered and the cookies and creme my boyfriend had were amazing! The consistency was perfect; smooth and creamy! The flavor was spot on, tasted great and came with a complimentary waffle slice! There were two women working while I went in and they were very pleasant, helped us out and let us try as many flavors of gelato that we wanted. The shop itself is small and quaint, with lots of sweet options. What caught my eye were the salt water taffy in many odd flavors such as maple bacon. Unfortunately I didn't grab any, I am still regretting that but there is always next time because I will be back!
