Join their escapades for the inside scoop on the tastiest bites, top-notch service, accessibility hits and misses, and wallet-friendly (or not) prices!
​
Twisted Arm
Randy and Shea embarked on a quest to conquer the Twisted Arm restaurant, where getting in was like a real-life game of Tetris! The door swung out opposite of the ramp like it was doing its own dance number, challenging them to a five-point turn on a skinny sidewalk. Once inside, it was like an obstacle course with heavy doors and a juggling act for those with sight issues and walkers. The so-called "accessibility" section had a step, making wheelchairs say, "Nope!" Without a trusty sidekick, this escapade would have been a no-go!
The food was tasty but priced like it was dipped in gold, especially those fries—probably made with actual Yukon "gold" potatoes! The service improved once the initial "settle-down shuffle" was over.
Cromwell Grill
137 Cromwell St
Sarnia ON
Randy and Shea’s adventure led them to the cozy confines of the Cromwell Grill. Reminiscing about the good ol’ days spent there, they braced themselves for the tight squeeze inside. In a strategic move, they left Randy’s walker in the car, with support Randy had a trusty guide through the rows of tables. Even the servers seemed to be performing a graceful dance around the compact space!
Definitely not walker or wheelchair-friendly territory!
Once seated, they couldn’t stop raving about the delightful combo of service, food, and prices—giving the whole experience a resounding five stars! The service was like a gentle breeze: swift, friendly, and courteous. The prices? Just right, keeping pace with other eateries. And let’s not forget the burgers, a smash hit, and the soup, a savory sensation!
Village Gardens
128 East Street N
Randy and Shea decided to embark on a culinary adventure to the Village Garden on East Street. Their first quest? Conquering the double doors—not exactly a breeze without automatic help! The always caring Randy pondered how a wheelchair might tackle this entrance. Once inside, they found the space "a bit snug," but hey, they made it work! They didn’t use the washroom but noted it was in a tight hallway.
The highlight? A waitress who was all sunshine and rainbows, making their day with her cheery vibes. And the prices? "Reasonable" is code for "score," especially when the half-price menu made a grand entrance! The food was "good," though Randy and Shea had a mini-debate over their ratings for food and service. After some friendly chatter, they finally reached a verdict.
