No frills breakfast joint in downtown Stratford, good for solid plates of eggs and potatoes and…read moregenerous portions. I went with the Paulet Bunyan plate which came with two eggs, two sausages, two pieces of bacon, home fries, and a pancake. It also comes with toast but I skipped that since I had plenty otherwise. Everything was solid though the potatoes in particular were really good and my cousin kept stealing them off my plate! I also liked the sausage. My cousin went with a full plate of pancakes and I had the one pancake with my meal, and while they were good I felt they were both a little underdone. They didn't really have any color on them. Though the dusting of cinnamon along with the sugar was a nice touch. I would have also liked the option to go for real maple syrup (vs the individual Smuckers containers that they had) and would have gladly done an upcharge for that. Staff was really nice, though, and it's huge so there's plenty of seating during peak tourist season. Very kid friendly, too!

Joe's Diner - Stratford ROCKS…read more Hi We frequently eat at Joe's Diner, and they never disappoint. I'm not sure if everyone knows this, but Joe's diner on Erie Street does catering for events, and WOW, My husband, Tony, was looking for a reasonably priced caterer to make sandwiches and salads and stuff for a party for me with about 30 people. He called all over town and was at a loss as to what to order and how much. Someone suggested Joe's diner. He called them. They helped him choose exactly what he needed and were very professional. They took all the worry for the party away from him and the food was delicious. Home cooked roast beef on pretzel buns and homemade turkey in the wraps and in the macaroni salad, among other delicious food. The two or three previous times he's made arrangements have resulted in lots of stress, and the kids and I going crazy to finish getting things ready. This time we were all so relaxed, everyone was raving about the it. Thanks to Joes Diner!

Tucked in among a small shopping complex a little off the beaten track is Joe's Diner, a classic…read moretrue to the bones diner. Simple decor, high efficiency, and no nonsense approach with delicious food, Joe's Diner checks all the above. Open for breakfast and lunch this is a popular place with no table left empty for more than a couple minutes. The waitresses are fast and all business. This isn't a place to strike up a conversation. The food is very good with extremely affordable prices. The maple syrup was served in a squeeze bottle that I typically see reserved for malt vinegar or mustard, and was a bit watery but the French Toast was delicious. It was light, fluffy, and very eggy. Was it the best I have eaten? No, but it was very good. Joe's is a great place for a quick bite at a great price point.

My friends ordered the Pacific Eggs Benny, also very tasty! Service was very attentive and speedy.

Overall, we will definitely come back if we go Waterloo again.

The Ewenwich was the best sandwich I've ever had and was great value as a lunch item, we even had leftovers. We toasted it in a pan when we got home for an extra level of crispiness. Don't miss out on this one! The crepes were more of what I would expect from an average place for a fair enough price, I would've appreciated more caramelization on the mushrooms and onions, as well as more cheese or greens to bind the filling together, but the accompanying side salad of the day was a nice touch and big enough to split! Restaurant experience: 5/5 Ewenwich: 5/5 Savoury crepes: 3.5/5

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

LET THIS BE THE REVIEW TO READ TO SAVE YOU SOME TIME: 1) You…read moreCAN make reservations ONLY for the buggy booth IF you're a party of 4. Reservations are also allowed for 10+ people. 2) Call in ADVANCE to set aside your order of baked goods like their butter tarts, honey dip & apple fritter donuts, & pies. They usually sell out by late afternoon on weekends. 3) Call in ADVANCE to ask how long the line-ups are too, that way you can plan for a long wait or decide to do take-out instead! We spent our 1.5hr wait (Saturday ~5pm) perusing their very well-stocked store and walking the surrounding neighbourhood/furniture store. 4) I HIGHLY recommend coming first thing at opening time 11:00am OR right before 'closing' time 7:00pm. They will still seat & serve you as long as you arrive & put your name down by that time. 5) Cash & debit only. Now that's over with, let's chat about the food. I do love that it's a local business with Mennonite origins...they serve homey no frills mennonite-style meals that's reasonably priced. Nothing special imo but it is well-loved by the locals! The baked goods though...that's where it's at for me. The donuts are generously sized, yeasty with a nice bounce and chew. The Dutch pie and carrot cake is wonderful. Butter tarts and pie selection is great and love that they've got seasonal options. Broasted chicken & the sides are just OK - lightly seasoned with nice thinner crunch exterior with somewhat dry meat & lots of bones to eat around.

While my meal--the hippy bowl with grilled chicken--was delicious and the service was attentive, efficient, and helpful, the menu has changed over the years and lacked something that used to separate Keystone Alley from most of the other restaurants. It's difficult to say precisely what that is but it seems the menu used to be more eclectic and experimental. I rated the place a 4 bc the food and service were top notch, and I do recommend the restaurant. Hours are a bit limited, with closing at 7:30.

We chose Cole slaw as our side and it was lovely. The restaurant itself is located in a strip mall and therefore has a lot of parking. The interior is warm, scrubbed clean and inviting. I would even say it was charming.
