Anything in the Peterborough/ApsleyBuckhorn area ?

In Buckhorn I really like 'The Olde Ice House'. Really good handmade burger made with natural local beef. Food is made from scratch.

 

In Peterborough I like St. Veronus Cafe. Food is great with nice selection of interesting beer on tap.

I know they aren't the same but look similar. I was wondering how you can tell the difference by looking at them before they are cleaned. I know a fresh curled up yellow when it's on my plate without tasting it.

 

Sorry JD, I misunderstood you're original question.

Most notably the stripes or lack of as Woodsman noted above.

Bassels's restaurant on Victoria Ave in Niagara Falls.

Has to be one of the best prime rib meals, I have ever had and you won't break the bank going there.

Good luck eating everything they give you with the meal; a huge chunk of meat, soup, salad your choice of spuds and veggies; then their deserts are to die for, all being made in house.

I like the Cody Inn in Buckhorn (Lew suggests their lemon chicken)

 

The Chemong Lodge in Bridgenorth (bit pricey but good food for an occasion)

 

Mark's Finer Diner in Peterborough (Lansdown St East) when I can talk Maribeth outa Red Lobster)

One km east of the 507 in Gooderham is Jakes roadside smoke house and Bbq. Run out of an airstream trailer. Best jerk chicken and smoked beef brisket sandwiches ever. I hit this place on my way home from elephant lake two weeks ago. Hands down winner on diners and drivethroughs. I went back up that way last week and ordered by phone 15 minutes out of Gooderham and it was ready when I got there. This place is a gotta try. Google it and see his menu. Two thumbs up.

Just remembered another place; Louie's Pizza at 440 Bell St. Ingersoll. It not just a pizza place, they have a fairly large menu. Their panzerotti has to be one of the best I've ever had. Just a word of warning, be ready to ask for a doggy bag; they're not cheep with the portions. A small panzo will fill you up; but it tastes way to good to leave it behind.

Here's a link to their menu.

If you're in Niagara Falls you should try Mick & Angelo's on Lundys Lane a little west of the falls. Best wings, skins & finger foods I've ever tasted. Awesome servers, nice furnishings & very casual. I've recommended this bar to many friends who have visited the falls & every one really liked it. Sit in the bar area, they have a large barrel of peanuts in the shell. Throw your shells on the floor! Awesome!

What ever happened to Flapjacks on hwy 10 just outside Caledon. They had the best club house hands down. And I dare u to finish it all.

 

Has it changed now? I tried to GoogleMap it and gave me Caledon Family Restaurant.

 

I've had Superburger and Champburger, but didn't feel that impressed. Superburger went through big renos, but I wish they could have kept the old TTC bus/streetcar. I've tried Weber's too and thought it was ok. Maybe because they end up serving so many people, their quality goes down?

When in the Falls we always try and hit Mick & Angelos. What's the name of the stone oven Pizzaria at the top of Lundy's Lane. The best Pizza outside of Italy I swear.

 

We used to go to The Egg and I on Hwy 20 (Centennial Pkwy). I need to get out more. The old Blast Furnace crews hit the Egg and I the 1st Monday of every month on upper James at 09:00. I know retired Steel Workers are cheap so it must have great value. I haven't been for years. I'm sure they miss me !!!!

I'm sure you know JD the HWY 20 location is no more. Upper James, still there, still a great breakfast. :)

OI, the pizza place in the falls is Antica. It's good but pricey..

I would have to say Chicago style or NaRoma in Hamilton would be just as good or better.. we are lucky that we have so many choices in restaurants here... http://theculturetrip.com/north-america/canada/articles/the-10-best-burger-joints-in-hamilton-ontario/

I don't get out much Chris. Many of the good old haunts are closed now like the Day and Nite Tavern at Lake and Hwy 8, best morning after hangeover meat loaf and gravy on the planet.

That's the one Pics. Cost isn't an issue compared to all the coin I lost at the Casino. Actually I'm up and haven't been for 5 years, money is too hard to come by to leave it at a casino. I can count on my hands how many times I have gambled at a Casino and we used to go to Vegas with my guys. I'm a gambling voyer.

MMMmmm Chemong Lodge....

 

Their Prime Rib is second to none.

 

I think I read someone mention the "egg and I" in Hamilton.....have a try at "bedrock bistro" for a breakfast...you likely wont be back to the egg and I.

If you go to Bedrock...Eggs Benny...if you're looking for BBQ, try Southern Smoke on Ottawa St
