    Great spot by the water! Stopped by here on a nice sunny day, and got ice cream in a waffle cone. You can pick two flavours for regular size ice cream, and I went with raspberry truffle and pralines and cream. I wouldnt go for the raspberry truffle one again (tasted like sorbet and vanilla ice cream mixed together), nor pralines and cream (too much caramel and not enough pralines). Next time I want to try the dark chocolate peanut butter and maple walnut. My friend got the turtles flavour and loved it. Waffle cone was lovely - apparently made in house. After eating my ice cream and chilling by the water for a bit, went back for some fries. Got the southwestern (bacon, fried onion, and chipotle mayo). That reaaaally hit the spot. The fries are great, and on top of that the chipotle mayo had a spicy kick to it! I'd recommend the southwestern. All in all, great spot. I'd come back if I'm ever in the area again.

    Driven by it for so long finally pulled over and grabbed a classic hot dog and poutine. Service was quick, good was good, gravy was too bland is my complaint I suppose (and frozen fries but it's expected)

    LA Franks is a tiny little stand along the side of Water St in Old Galt. It is part of the Mill Race park feature along the river. The setting and scenery here is fantastic. It is a perfect place to have the go to Hotdog stop. Let me lay this out for you: The dog: a 1/4 lb hotdog on a fresh steamed roll. If plain isn't your thing they have multiple versions of this dog including the chill & cheese, sauerkraut, big blue (blue cheese!+), smokey dog, reuben dog, southwest dog & salsa dog. The holey burger: A burger with a hole in it! It comes essentially in the same varieties as the hot dogs. They are big meaty and delicious. The fries: Do you want poutine? Wow, they have lots of selections here. Everything from perogy fries, to bbq pulled pork poutine. In addition to the above, they have great ice cream, famous lemonade, malted milkshakes. Remember, this is a hole in the wall in a park. This is not a full service restaurant. It is not licensed so no beer unfortunately. There is a little seating area adjacent to it and the parking is along the road or within a short walk from a neighbouring lot. Worth checking out!

    LOVE their food and icecream. Love that it's an outdoor restaurant by the grand river. Kids love coming here in the summer.

    The Boathouse - high tea spread for two on the patio

    Great location and customer service…read more Scones: Decent. A little sweet (which I like), served with whipped cream and strawberry jam. Fruit: The fruit was the best part of all our meals here. It was so fresh and sweet, which I thought would be difficult to find outside of California! I also enjoyed it with cottage cheese, which is not so common at breakfast spots in California unfortunately. Tea: The tea is enjoyable but pretty average when compared to bougier tea spots like The Bruce in Stratford. It's not clear how long I should let it steep for for optimal flavor. I preferred the Winter Dream green tea, which was warm and cozy, slightly sweet. I also preferred the McCrae over the Boathouse blend. The Boathouse blend was a little basic for me, and the McCrae had a slight sweetness that I enjoyed. High Tea: Average - a good price and pleasant experience, especially if the weather is nice enough to eat outside (and catch a bald eagle flying by!). My favorite dessert was the carrot cake cupcake. Ice Cream: Yes, ice cream and tea is definitely a good idea! The banana cream pie tastes like your classic Runts banana flavor (the original banana that got wiped out) and the black cherry has plenty of big cherry pieces. Great servings, and we loved that they served them in reusable bowls instead of disposable ones. Would definitely come again!

    Ice cream for the family with a beautiful view of the river. Pleasant experience. Easy 5 stars.read more
