"My husband and I were on a motorcycle trip and stopped in here after seeing reviews talking about how good the poutine was. I’m so glad we did! Not only was the poutine absolutely delicious, but the falafel wrap was the best I’ve ever had. The owners were so nice as well! The food is fresh, it’s cooked when you order it, so you don’t get anything that’s been sitting out or is old, and the portions are very generous. We got the falafel wrap and the medium poutine and had leftovers to take with us. If we are ever back in the area I’m definitely coming here again!"

"By far the most amazing place to get your food in Ridgetown ON. Not only are the eats great but you get to talk to the most friendly and humble people. You can have a cold beer and watch Sports as your waiting, but the conversations will make the TV nonexistent. The absolute best food an friendly conversations you can have in a small town. Thank you and Much Respect"
