    Old fashion
    Michael O.

    We went here on a busy Saturday during COVID, we got here early and good thing we did. By the time we finished it was getting quite busy and they don't take reservations. The menu is ever changing as is the cocktail menu. We started with oysters that are $2 from 2pm-5pm, they were so fresh and tasty. I ordered the deep fried avocado po boy. A friend ordered the salmon tartar with deep fried avocado. The food was fantastic. All fresh and made with care. The place was bopping and had a great vibe, it felt like something you would find in the big city. This is one of the best places to go in the city by far. Can't wait to go back.

    Lamb flatbread, a take on Indian curry on nan. The bread was cooked from raw dough on a flattop.

    Oddbird came highly recommended by my nephew who lives in St. Catharines and has eaten there several times. I did find the food very tasty and menu items were unique. The ambience was trendy and staffs were friendly. A few issues that lead to 4 star instead of 5. The menu was on two chalkboards, one for lunch and the other for dinner, but dishes were not grouped by appetizers or sides or entree. I suppose no one would order a plate of shishito peppers as their main course. The volume of food is small in general. None of the sandwiches or burgers came with sides. A sandwich was made with a baguette of perhaps 5 inches long. I would say 3 dishes for 2 people. I also found the seasoning of food was more intense than my preference. I tried the mussels, lamb flatbread and shishito pepper. My least favorite was the lamb flatbread, while the shredded braised Indian curry lamb was good, the flatbread which was cooked on a flattop grill, turned out to be a bit oily and the charred area was hard, not like a real Indian nan from a tandoor.

    hunk of brie on bread

    I came here on a date night in St. Catherine's and found the vibe to be like average trendy chalkboard on the wall, dim lighting type of feel. I liked the friendliness of the staff- inviting but not pushy. I just felt like the food could have been better. Maybe I didn't order the right things but I had asked for recommendations from the server. 1. Brie toast Kind of feels like a giant piece of brie over bread. The plums that came with it were good but they used the same thing over the scallops and it felt kind of samey. I would've liked at least the brie to be more melted. 2. Seared scallops The scallops were nice! They have that good flavour but it felt a bit like they just threw random stuff with it. I don't think the things tasted that good together. 3. Gnocchi Really umami. I love that taste. I've had similar things in the past but would've liked greater quantity - could have done without the shavings. The food is pretty good but every time I felt like it was missing something to elevate it to that next level. I would say it is one of the only restaurants in St. Catherine's of its type. I just wish they would give you either more food to make you more satisfied or have some more wow factor to each dish.

    Honey mustard chicken burger

    Phenomenal burger and the drink was amazing too I can't even explain how good the combo was!

    I don't often write reviews. But. Fried. Friggin. Chicken. This is one of the newest and obviously most delicious restaurants not only in St. Catharines but in the Niagara Region. We started with the shishito peppers which were topped with sea salt and came with delicately shredded parmesan. Top notch. Moved on to the chicken live brulee with house cured pickled veg and crostinis. The smooth mouthfeel of the pate was masterfully cut with the sweet bruleed top. Awesome. Our group also ordered the octopus and potato pancakes which were perfect and not overly oily. Finally. Fried. Friggin. Chicken. This was one of the most succulent fried chicken sandwiches I've had in a while. We got the Haggard sauce which is their take on Mac sauce. The breading was crunchy but not too rich and the bun was nicely toasted while retaining it's softness. Luscious. Would definitely recommend anyone to go out of their way to find this gem and enjoy their cooking. The staff were amazing and were obviously enjoying their work which made the experience and meal even better. Their mixologist poured up some dang fine concoctions as well. Can't wait to go back!

    As far as vegan food goes, this establishment is just ok. Good, not great as they say. Maybe I'm…read morejust spoiled so it may be phenomenal for the area, but the falafel was bland, the peas in the rice a little odd, and spicy feta not spicy at all and very salty, and the "meat" or chili or something on the nachos (and oddly in the shawarma platter too) was just a strange flavor. I can't put my finger on it but it's just weird and very out of place. The wait staff was lovely, although when a friend asked for honey for her tea she wasn't given any alternatives for sweeteners, even though they had sugar. And the restaurant is very large so lots of seating and not super packed together either. We went in winter so not surprised at the temperature but it was very cold inside. All in all I'd only go again if there were no other options and I'd be satisfied but not blown away by any means.

    I'd start by noting that vegan restaurants are a rare commodity, and that this one is good with a…read moreMediterranean menu. Service was great and ambiance was trendy casual. The food was commendable, although if I were at the grill, I would keep things on long enough to crisp up, namely the pita bread and the Greek potatoes. Not sure why -- easy enough to do. That may come down to taste. Bruschetta topping was very good, but the underlying pita absorbed moisture instead of having any crunch. The house made feta was impressive. I enjoyed the Greek platter which featured some very tasty skewers. We also had a falafel plate skipping the rice. Greek potatoes were tasty, but had no browning which goes back to my initial comment. Seasoning on everything was great. Falafels were not bad; well seasoned and flavourful- - I wondered if maybe there was black bean in them. Worth checking out. Not over priced

    Chuck's Roadhouse Bar & Grill - This is what 16.00 gets you as far as spinach/feta dip. Measuring cup for scale. Maybe 4 Oz. BUT PROBABLY LESS.

I even tried asking a bartender if we should seat ourselves, but he ignored us and walked away as if he couldn't hear. He later returned with another server, who finally told us someone would be with us shortly. We were eventually seated at a table that was dirty and wet. After I asked for it to be cleaned, we ordered dinner--only to realize water was dripping from the ceiling onto our table, likely from a leaking pipe or roof. I've since filed a report with the health department. Throughout our meal, we were literally being dripped on. When we mentioned it to our server, she giggled and said, "Oh, that's why this table was closed." Clearly, they already knew about the leak and still chose to seat our family there. To make matters worse, the hostess later came over smirking and offered to move us--but by then, we were already finished eating. We then waited another 15 minutes just to get the bill. We paid a full bill. No manager came to apologize. There was no discount or any offerings for us sitting at a dripping table. The experience was extremely disappointing.

I ordered the spinach/feta dip and garlic pan bread. The bread was mediocre and the dip??? Disgusting, runny, cold and bland watery tasting. Not to mention charging 16.00 for a meager and trifling amount. Barely 4 ounces and I am being generous at that. I will NEVER order from there again. I ended up waking during the night to puke and crap my guts out! DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM THIS PLACE! I have pictures of the slop and will try to post here if possible.

We ordered quite a bit of meat (some beef tendon, sliced beef, sliced pork, salmon, and pork and shrimp dumplings) and it was all fresh and delicious. Veg included bok choy, cabbage, enoki mushrooms, and lots more, plus plenty of noodle varieties. They have a great selection here and there's surely something for everyone. We had a great dinner here. Everything was tasty and the service was friendly. We'd definitely visit again the next time we are in the area!
