Be aware that current road construction on Sandwich St can make parking challenging. They do provide both indoor and outdoor seatings. They have a good selection of appetizers and burgers. I highly suggest trying out their onion rings, it was fantastic. However, it seems that they only grill their burgers to well done. The 3 of us all ordered our burgers as medium, and all 3 came out charred and thoroughly cooked. Also, the wait duration for the orders seems to be long as well. Only observed 1 person working the entire kitchen area.

We ordered the beef dip meal, an order of mussels, and 2 chicken salads for the less adventurous of our group. Windsor is really improving. The Sandwich Street strip is visit worthy if driving through Windsor. Marls, Cartoni Curtis and Dee-Flynn approved.

We stopped here for lunch after looking at a couple different places. We LOVED it! We sat inside near the bar, the kitchen is by the bar in the open so you can watch them cook. The server was great. He was the only server and they had a nice lunch crew so the wait was I would assume a little longer than normal, but not slow enough to be upset by. He did a great job keeping up. The food was delicious! Hubby ordered the Pizza Burger and I ordered The Benny. We both did an upgrade to our fries because we wanted to try the tater tot poutine and the onion rings. We split the sides and were blown away with the flavor. The burgers were divine. Anytime we are in the area this will definitely be a lunch stop for us.

My only regret is that we rushed our meal, since we had plenty of time to sit in the airport. We will definitely come back the next time we're in Windsor.
