Carmichael's is a quality meat shop that sells quality meats made of beef, pork, bison, kangaroo,…read morevenison. I love trying out their samples at the CNE ,and when i feel adventurous I purchase a sausage. I purchased a Kangaroo sausage from their stall and enjoyed having the kangaroo with omelettes, with cheese, grated onto salads. For those who have not tried Kangaroo it tastes gamey with its own taste . Its lean and has a low fat content compared to beef or pork .

Lovely little bakery in Thamesville near the BMO on London Road…read more Owner was there and very friendly and knowledgeable. Wonderful scones, squares and tarts. My fave was the Raspberry Butter Tart but the lemon poppyseed scone was fantastic too. Hubby said that the Chocolate Cherry scone was wonderful. All kinds of squares and brownies. Oh and the sourdough bread is fantastic (toasted it's heavenly too). Thinking French toast is next. They had a variety of flavours plus baguettes and bread rolls. The cinnamon buns looked outstanding. (Next time). FYI they also provide their baked goods to the coffee kiosk at The Glasshouse in Chatham if you can't get out to Thamesville. We'll be back for more when we are in the area. All made in house! Support local. Other info: Open every day but Sunday. Parking is on the street.

If you drive this way often, you'll understand how boring, flat and how there isn't much scenery until you see the windmills in the Chatham area. The place is always clean, the women's washrooms are for sure always clean when I use them, and usually one side is blocked off because they are cleaning it. They also have a CTC gas bar if you need to fill up, a Market Place, to get bottles of water, or a quick snack, and this OnRoute has a Tim Horton's KFC, and A&W if you need a bite to eat. This is always an easy place to stop and take a rest if you need it whether you're traveling from near or far. Clean washrooms, clean dining area, staff always seem to be on top of everything and there's a Tim Horton's, what more could you ask for in a rest stop?

This was excellent BBQ. Everywhere we go we look for BBQ.. we don't always try it. But the pics…read morewere too good to pass up trying, plus we love beef ribs. And the meals came looking just like the pics. The owner and grill master prepared our meals and his wife was our waitress. The bbq sauce is made in house, We tried both the pork and beef rib. Portions were huge. Two hungry people could have shared one of the dinners. We saw the sandwiches. They were also full of meat and according to a fellow customer nearby, delicious, the meat is always tender, never dry.. we started with the nachos. Normally I don't like non traditional bar type nachos, but I ate at least half the order: it had pulled pork, cheese, bbq sauce, and yes, baked beans. . Never thought I'd like baked beans on a nachos, but it worked. each nachos chip was loaded. We did go back a second time the next day for lunch with a friend. She'd never been here before, but liked it and said her dad and brother would love it. She could only finish half beef rib meal. The sides were good, they are in the process of changing the menu a little. This is not a town that likes very spicy food, so you had to request heat. The Mexican corn needed a boost Mexican chilli powder, but it's catered to local tastes. It was good, I'd order again. Home made baked beans. Very good. We enjoyed the fries, but wish we had changed them out for something more exotic on the sides menu. Would we return, we did, ordered the same thing all over again and still enjoyed it. Wished the cook but as many baked beans on the nachos. Maybe request more because it is good. All I can say is, you gotta eat here, even if you are travelling along the 401. It's worth the detour up to Chatham for the restaurant.
