Really enjoyed our dinning experience here. The food was excellent, fast, fresh and delicious. The owner came out to check on us which was nice. You can tell that customer satisfaction and service is very important. Lots of choices on the menu. Can’t wait to return!

I cannot say enough about this place! I’m a big foodie. I love to cook. And I’ll say, I’m a bit picky. This restaurant far surpasses every expectation! Everything I’ve ordered is delightful. Perfectly executed. From the coconut shrimp, to the chicken supreme, to the best burger in town, incredible tossed chicken fingers and to die for fish and chips. I could go on… but if you’re wondering where to go for dinner tonight, look no further!

This was the best meal I’ve had all year. I love to cook and am usually quite critical but we got the salmon and beef short ribs and both were absolutely fantastic. Every item on the plate was cooked and seasoned to perfection. This place really is a hidden gem. I’ve eaten all over Guelph and nothing even comes close to the quality and taste of the food here. If you appreciate fine dining but in a casual setting, dine here.

I mean nothing was truly bad.. I just didn’t find anything extraordinarily good. The Brie and asparagus chicken itself was fine and seasoned nicely, but it was disappointing to come with vegetables and potatoes that were completely unseasoned. Not even a dash of salt or pepper. The beef dip was as imagined. The mushroom risotto on the side was also underwhelming. Could’ve been a lot creamier and a lot more flavourful. Every aspect of our meal could have been elevated with just some simple changes. Although, the antojitos were great! Filled with cheese and bacon and chives, they were definitely the highlight of the meal and would definitely recommend them.

Great experience! Everybody was super friendly. Tiny but cozy. My only complaint was the high seats but that's normal for me because I'm short my feet can't reach the ground. Also, being right beside the kitchen there was lots of clanging but that's to be expected. Food was absolutely superb!!!

Date of visit: Saturday, January 11th, 2020 One of Guelph's best Restaurants. This restaurant is only a couple of blocks from our home, but unfortunately we only just got around to checking it out. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect, but I have recently heard some great feedback from some friends who tried it. So, when we were looking for a place to go for dinner in Guelph this night we finally made the decision to go to Queens cafe. This is a small restaurant in a tiny plaza so there is not a lot of seating. Luckily there was a table at the back of the restaurant where we could done, because the front was packed and it looked like we were not going to get a table. The restaurant looks very nice inside. Clean, open Concept, long and narrow. The service started out strong, but there was a long gap between our apps and when we got dinner. There was a table of 2 ladies who sat a while after we already finished our apps and they were getting their meals before we did. The food options are really good. Individual prices are very reasonable. The food is beautifully presented, fresh ingredients, beautiful combinations, and everything was delicious. I had the lamb chops which was a special menu item and it was amazing. Perfectly cooked, fresh and properly cooked sides of mashed potatoes and veggies. The salmon was perfection and the Shanghai stir-fry was full of flavour. The apps we had calamari and egg rolls, and they were very tasty. The food is amazing. I really enjoyed everything we had. I have 2 suggestions for anyone visiting this restaurant 1) make reservations to ensure a table - it is a small restaurant 2) ask the price of the specials before ordering. The lamb chops were considerably more expensive than most menu items. (They were worth it, but just a bit of a shock) This is definitely going to be a regular place for us to eat in Guelph. The food was fantastic and I definitely want to try everything on the menu.

The food was quite good however we were rushed throughout our entire meal. We were told immediately upon sitting that we had 1.5 hours to eat and leave. We could have lived with that but the servers were rushing to get our drinks, rushing to get our food orders, rushing to grab our dishes, rushing to order dessert, rushing to get us our bill. It was not relaxing at all. I am not an expert in how to move people through a meal at a restaurant but wouldn t staggering reservations or taking less reservations be smoother? I would recommend that the owners look at options.

It s a very small and kind of hidden gem in Guelph, I ve driven by it probably 1000 times and one day decided to try it and was not disappointed. The bruschetta as an app was the best I ve had! The main courses for me and my family were all amazing too. Service was quick and friendly!

INCREDIBLE!!! The food was so so soooo good last night. This was my first time eating at this restaurant. A good friend of mine had suggested this place for our girls night since her family enjoys going so much. No complaints at all. The food was so yummy we all devoured our dishes. I find the price is reasonable also for the food you re getting. $21 for the Fettuccine Carbonara which was a huge portion and probably the best pasta I ve had in a long time.. that s a steal of a price. Especially when fast chain places are selling low quality pasta dishes for the same price if not more. I highly recommend checking this place out!!

We finally made it to try in person dining and it was amazing! The dining area has a really nice feel to it with the decorating choices and the chairs/booths are comfortable. They were extra kind to our 2 yr old during our meal, and offered a kids meal as an option to order being a smaller portion chicken finger meal for him. Our food was as expected, so good!

★★★★★
December 22, 2022

Hands down one of the best meals I have had anywhere last evening! We just made reservations yesterday with no problem. Started with the Greek salad. Delicious homemade dressing. Good size and split with my daughter. I ordered the Thai stir fry and added chicken to it, my daughter had the same and added shrimp to hers. Portion size was great and nicely presented. Said it was sweet and spicey but just a hint of spice. It was fantastic! My husband had the burger with fries and he loved it as well. We ended with the warm brownie with icecream and again split it, there was enough for 2 and very reasonably priced at $8. The decaf coffee came in a large mug and ended off a perfect meal! Our server Roxanne was very attentive even though the place filled up and she was the only server on, she managed quite well! I highly recommend this little gem of a restaurant and really glad they are back open for dining in! I hadnt been there since before the pandemic. Keep up doing a great job!

We were a group of eight that ordered a variety of entrees - pasta, souvlaki, stir fry, short ribs and fish and chips. All the meals were plentiful and very tasty. We also ordered different desserts - strawberry cheesecake, creme brulee, chocolate torte and brownie with vanilla bean ice cream. The portions were very generous and they were all delicious! Coffee drinkers enjoyed the French press they each got and tea drinkers were impressed with the size of the ceramic teapot. Presentation is obviously important to the owners; food and serving materials were all pretty! This place has a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Definitely would recommend!

We ordered steaks for delivery Friday. I ordered the tenderloin and my husband ordered the rib eye. My tenderloin was AMAZING. I said med rare it was perfect. Mashed potatoes were good but veggies were underdone. I dont mind rawish veg so was ok for me. Husbands rib eye was tasty and tender as well done perfectly. We always try each others to determine who picked the best meal I won hands down, however, both were good. I only rated a 4* as the veggies were not great and the mashed potatoes were rather plain. Otherwise, would go to the Queens Cafe over the Keg any day. Really good tenderloin let me reiterate.

A much needed gem in this area of town; a neighbourhood lacking in dining options. The owners are friendly and never hesitate to come say hello at your table. The food is fresh; my friend said she d never had chicken tenders that tender (and she s from Portland, Oregon, known for it s food). The soups are clearly homemade along with everything else. All of my meals here have been excellent and the reason I m not giving five stars is because the portions could be bigger. That said, it s a place you can dine with confidence knowing you ll get a tasty meal, great service, and a nice family-friendly ambience. They accommodate everyone and make you feel like you re in their living room.

Ive eaten at the Queens Cafe three times now and every time it has been spectacular. First of all, they have the best fish and chips in town. Theyre not too greasy and the fries are perfection. I felt compelled to write a review today because yesterday my 8 year old son and I had a dinner date and the owner? Chef?, came over to our table to ask if we wanted a kids portion of his order (a smaller burger at a super affordable price). She also asked if he wanted some raw veggies on the side (cucumber slices and cherry tomatoes). I was thrilled with the customer service and the quality of the food. My family has gone for brunch before (I had steak and eggs. YUM) and it was an incredible experience as well. I also wanted to mention that its a really nice and cozy space so its perfect for a romantic date as well. Dont let all my talk about family make you think its not a sophisticated restaurant. Its just the perfect place for anyone!

The vegetables were absolutely tasty and would have enjoyed a few more. Tammy (Owner) came out to meet us - cheerful most welcoming. Place is dimly lit with jazzy music not noisy and an open kitchen atmosphere. Absolutely enjoyed the experience and will be back. Both meals with one beer 80.00.

Insane week. Deadlines met. Paid me on time. Hungry. Chicken? Yes. Fast Food Chain? NO! Support Local: fave QC the much missed environment but ordered over the phone, to cut out delivery costs collected myself and ensured a decent tip on the bill. Shared the good fortune and want to keep these good folk in business. Chicken absolutely YUMMY! Roll on a vaccine so we can visit and linger and enjoy in house. Meanwhile....Slainte!

The Penne Pasta with sausage and red peppers was delicious! The Caesar salad was great too! It was our first time trying this place and let me say we will be back for sure! The lady who came out to the car for us to pay was so nice, she s definitely an asset to this establishment.

Honestly amazing food. I ll start with this. I was hesitant to order at first because it was close to their closing time but I went with it. It arrived fairly quickly, which was great as I was starving. The whole plate was great & they gave me 10% off. Amazing food, packaging and service. Keep in mind they were pretty much closing. Well done. Btw I am not one to leave reviews but I had too

What a beautiful place. Food is great and the service terrific. We ve been here a few times and go bonkers for the Benedict. We came a little late on a Sunday and they were out of some breakfast foods, but only because they buy everything farm fresh and are sure to only buy what they will use. Love that, but make sure to go earlier than 1pm on a Sunday if you want breakfast!

Great food and atmosphere. Place was packed for a weekday and the portions were generous for the price. Food was tasty and filling. Dessert was just the right amount of sweetness. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that wants a quick snack break or a hearty breakfast in Guelph.

The food was incredible! Everything was flavourful and fresh! Service definitely missed the mark though. Was not warm, welcoming or present throughout most of our meal. Based on the reviews, this is not the norm. The ambiance was not what I expected. Would definitely go back for the food.

Great food, team, and atmosphere! They will make anything on the menu for kids at half price so they can still enjoy delicious healthy food and not just your typical kids menu. They made us feel very welcome and the owner even came to check how our son was enjoying the food - he loved everything and so did we. Highly recommend!

Omg what a wonderful place! We went for the first time and where blown away. It was a for work dinner date with just our administrative staff, so pretty casual. The food beyond words, everything was perfect and so tasty. They where so careful for my food allergies, the staff was so friendly the owner she was so adorable, funny and kind. Small place and worth it. I am still dreaming of the brazed short ribs...will be back!

AMAZING chicken risotto dish! Definitely the star dish of the night. The shortribs were nice and tender too. Perfect portions (not too big). Nice friendly server, and the owner came around and greeted every table. Finished off with a delicious creamy strawberry cheesecake, which was made in-house. Definitely going back!

Amazing! We had dinner there tonight with our 2 year old and we all had an awesome experience. My husband and I both had an unbelievable meal - the type of gourmet meal we never get at a restaurant where we can also take our toddler. And our daughter had an even better experience - the owner and the server were not only wonderful and playful with her but they went above and beyond with the meal they served her. I cant recommend this place highly enough!

Enjoyed lunch with some friends. All staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Coffee was great. Had the burger with side of butternut squash soup. Burger was seasoned wonderfully, and cooked nicely, very juicy. Soup was so creamy and flavorful. Only thing I wished for was a refill on my coffee. No one came around until we had finished paying.
