GRIND kitchen + bar

I came in for my work party this evening. The food was great, the service was even better—thanks Brittany and Lindsay!

As usual we had a wonderful time at Grind! The food was amazing and service was great! Britt is the best, and we always love seeing her and having her as our server. She is very attentive, always recommends great drinks and food choices and goes above and beyond! Way to knock it out of the park, Britt!

Also, to our surprise, Elvis was performing! The king is still alive! Great night.

Went for supper tonight and the food was amazing and our server Alyssa was fantastic. Highly recommend eating here.

Went for lunch with my sister in-law. Had an amazing lunch, fantastic service. Loved everything about it. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Perfect date night! Britt was our server and she was so great! Food was amazing as well as the drinks and apps!

Great drinks recommend the mango jalapeño margarita, food was delicious portion sizes are big go hungry! Excellent service by our waitress Britt!

Will be back!

Attending a wedding tonight that was catered and bartended by the Grind. The owner Michelle was absolutely awesome along with her bartender Ben. I came from BC for this wedding and when I come back to visit my family I am definitely having a meal at this restaurant. Amazing food, service and the owner is top notch! Thank you!

I'm posting on behalf of some of my older relatives. They went to this restaurant and were a little worried about how high the chairs were because of their limited mobility. The owner himself set them up their own regular table and chairs by a window so they could sit and eat together. They say the food was fantastic and the servers were super attentive and kind to them. Everything was absolutely wonderful and they keep raving about how fantastic everything was!

Another wonderful lunch at Grind! Tried the wrap of the day, side salad (which isn't your typical iceburg lettuce and carrots), and salted Caramel Skor homemade (truly!) Cheesecake! Very good! Add on great service and it was quite enjoyable.

I enjoyed both meals I ordered for takeout from here! It was confusing to find how to enter this restaurant/bar when the main building is closed. Stood in what appeared to be the kitchen waiting for service. Super awkward set up but makes up for it with the food! Tried the lamb shank, and the surf and turf burger with a side soup, all very good! Packaged well for a Togo order too!

Great food, fast and attentive service. Restaurant is very nice. Got the Pad Thai and it was good, portions were very generous as well. Will be coming back in the future.

Got there when they opened and was greeted with big smiles. I feel comfortable saying that I had the best cobb salad ever let alone just in Sarnia. I will be going back to try out all the other incredibly tasty sounds menu items.

The Grind catered our wedding, the food was amazing, the service was great, Melissa and the staff went above and beyond for us and our guests. I can't thank them enough for everything they did. Awesome!

I have had better meals here, the lamb is amazing. Fish and chips was ok, over battered to where i was cutting it off. Appys were delicious and we like the above average noisy atmosphere. Will return but stick to what I enjoy.

Food and service are great. Small dining room so can get noisy inside. Will definitely go back and enjoy the patio on a sunny day. We had the braised lamb shank and chicken/shrimp pad Thai.

A very nice dining experience. The place has limited tables, so reservations are recommended with larger groups. But with the place being smaller, our food was out a lot sooner than expected. Would recommend, and will be returning.

Loved my lunch there. It was my first time there and exactly what I was looking for that day.

The food was delicious, the service was very attentive and the customer service impeccable! The restaurant has a beautiful window front overlooking the river in the summer there is a beautiful outdoor terrace where you can watch the hustle and bustle on the water! Today we had a very nice sunset! So I can only give 5 stars here and make a recommendation with a very clear conscience!
Value for money is absolutely top for Sarnia and location - but see the pictures from today "they speak for themselves". Best regards Majk-Boris.

What wonderful service and the food was delicious! Thanks so much for making my niece’s wedding a great success!

We had a great night on the Patio with friends, the food was great, our waitress Jenna was amazing, she made our night perfect…bar staff were great too!

We thought we’d try something different than our usual place we take our out of town guests to. Unfortunately we were extremely disappointed. We had a reservation and they sat us inside where it was uncomfortably warm. Maybe the air conditioner was broken? Not sure but it was really uncomfortable in 32 degree weather. We ordered several cocktails to start- a jalepeno margarita, strawberry mojito, mules and they all tasted off. As if they just used the bar lime from the bar tap to make a $12 drink. Even the mule didn’t taste like it was made with ginger beer.
We ordered appies right away which took over an hour to arrive to the table. Two tables beside us who arrived after had their appies and dinner before we did. Our waitress disappeared for 20 minutes so we waited without drinks- had to go to the bar finally and ask to be served and ask where our food was. Another server attended to us briefly, got us a beer and we asked if we could get the appies we ordered and cancel the dinner - but he said they have already started on the dinner and the appies were coming soon- an hour later they arrived. We were so upset and disappointed at the whole experience. There were two couples who we brought out with us and were excited for a good meal and night out. When we finally did get our food- it was good- but not great. Pad Thai was horrible. Wouldn’t recommend.
The manager took a drink off our bill to make it better. Thanks but we will never recommend or come back to your restaurant again.
Suggestion for this place- have a bar tender to prepare the servers drinks. As an experienced waitress- I thought it was ridiculous for the waitresses to wait on tables and then have to go behind the bar and make all the drinks. Your restaurant would run more smoothly if you had one bar tender behind the bar. This was definitely one of the reasons why the service was so poor. Also, put on the air conditioner so the two hour wait for dinner would be more pleasant.

It was a very busy night as it was first Friday but staff still managed to get through with great service. Our dinner was delicious. You can’t beat the view either. Can’t wait to come back during lunch, the menu looked so good!

Walked into the restaurant, asked the bartender if we sat ourselves, she said yes. We then inquired about ordering drinks at the bar, she said we could or she would be out in a minute. My group proceeded to sit directly outside, table close to the door, 15 minutes later we still hadn’t had a waitress come outside to ask for orders or even acknowledge us. Other customers also looked agitated due to the lack of service, drinks empty, and plates all over the table. We are finally greeted after getting up from our table, and heading to leave. The waitress saw us walk in from outside and proceeded to ask “do you want to sit outside? ”, to which we said no and walked out to bad dog down the street. Place was not busy, and we watched the waitress and bar tender chat for a little bit instead of tend to tables. Poor service won’t be back
