We were close to the sidewalk and road but even though there were lots of passersby, it wasn't bothersome at all. We ordered some waffle fries which I loved because I don't see this offered as often. The calamari was pretty good, and my favourite were the crab cakes. We all had drinks (I had a cocktail) and everything was fully enjoyed. Our server was super friendly and always checked on us and made sure our cups were always full. I can see why my friend is a regular patron here, as everyone was friendly and the food was great!

My hubby and I both ordered the steak sandwiches and were not disappointed. The steaks were cooked to perfection. We would have stayed for dessert but we were too full maybe next time.

I have been there before…read more The Manager or Owner and his daughter were hospitable as many other staff I have met over the years while in town. So basically what occurred tonight was that they refused service to a disabled person based on the fact that their gait looked "intoxicated". I tried to help and explain but they told her to get the "fuck out" and threatened to call the cops. She wasn't even trying to order alcohol, just food from one of her favorite places. They refused to provide owners info so I'm going public until I am contacted. The AODA will be a factor. Employees have no formal training when asked about it. No reason or logic used other than "it's private property".

This place was like an oasis…read more We rolled in to downtown Peterborough on the end of a wonderful holiday long weekend looking for somewhere to have a bite to eat and soak up some local flavour. It seemed like the entire downtown was a ghost town with nothing open, and not a person in sight, then The Only Cafe appeared out of the fog with a hopping patio, and music blaring from inside, seeping out the open windows. The layout is very interesting with the side patio, with filtered light coming through the foilage along the west side, perfect for a lovely late afternoon setting sun. We sat inside where there are small two-tops, with each table having a cute lamp and plenty of artwork to ogle while you eat. I ordered a grilled cheese and side salad, which were great! Looking like something I would make for myself, the grilled cheese was on German rye bread and the salad was basic lettuce, peppers and tomato and absolutely delicious! The IPA they served up on tap went perfectly with my food, adding the bitterness to the sweet salad flavours bringing me absolute joy. Worth the trip to Peterborough and The Kawarthas!

I thought it would've been a lot busier considering the great experience we had. We started off with the Kettle Cheese Dip. Amazing! The bread was almost better then the dip!

I had the salad and pizza lunch special. I loved that you could pick any salad and any pizza for the same price rather than limiting it to the cheaper or more basic choices. I had the peach salad and the pear pizza. Both were delicious. I literally wiped my plate clean! Excellent service as well. Highly recommend this place!

We just had beers, so can't really comment on the food. But the beer flowed cold and was tasty in the hot sun!

It was lunchtime and the restaurant was completely empty except for a couple with kids sitting in the outside patio. Maybe that should have been our first clue. The guy serving us seemed pretty cool until my husband told a joke that he did not understand turning his service sour from that moment on - perhaps he was just having a bad day, who knows, but certainly no need for despotism. Good service or bad service doesn't make a difference to us if the food is good and it wasn't so we will never return.

We were looking for a place with a big tasty burger to satisfy our burger craving. We looked at…read moresome reviews and the name "Dirty Burger" sounded like the 2 handed juicy burger we were looking for.. I was disappointed... The atmosphere was fine and the young man serving us was very nice and helpful. We got a little bowl of seasoned tater tots to snack on while we waited. They were tasty with the dip. When our burgers came.. they came on small plates and first impressions was.. is that it? It was super small and not even close to a big dirty burger I was looking for. The flavour was lacking in both the meat and the toppings. We also got a poutine to share. The portion was good but the fries were small cut, I like my fries thick cut. The gravy was ok. Overall my experience was ok, but I don't think I'll go back. It was not what I was expecting out of "The Dirty Burger"
