Went there for the first time. Lovely diner type restaurant. Between the 3 of us we had the Reuben sandwich, cheesy grilled cheese and the turkey burger. All had yo fresh cut homemade fries. Deliciousness was had by all and we left satisfied. We will be back again for sure. Thank you for the great food!
Romeo's is a favourite restaurant in Stratford. Across the street from the Arden Park hotel at Romeo and Ontario sts. Good food and service. Nancy and her staff do a great job. Kudos!
I LOVE this place! The server was amazing! She was busy but was quick, efficient and cool as a cucumber! Food was amazing, even the cup of tea was good. Will return for sure. Never had to wait for the check. Place is cute, clean and they all worked well together, efficient and organized!
Terrible service. Sat there for so long and had to ask someone to take our order. They then served someone who came after us. A family was also waiting from before us and they got super upset and left. Food was mediocre and overpriced
The only efficient people were the busboy and girl.
My friends and I Went to Romeos for lunch, there were 4 of us in total. We could tell it was quite busy from the lineup and how many people were in the restaurant when we entered. I ordered a cowboy burger with fries and enjoyed some cold beer on tap. My server Nancy was attentive and promptly took care of our table and our needs. We got our drinks quickly after we sat down and thoroughly enjoyed the friendly, welcoming nature of the staff and restaurant. Having amazing service undoubtedly elevated our dining experience. I am speaking on behalf of my friends and I, all of us had a lovely time. It appeared that Nancy was the only server on the floor and she was working VERY hard to attend to every table. She did mention they were short staffed today but it did not affect our dining experience whatsoever. We were in and out in good time and made it to our play precisely when we wanted to. Overall amazing food, service and atmosphere. We will certainly be back to try more items on the menu when we're back in the area!
The food was good. Service was atrocious. I realize it was busy, but staff could have done better. We're stacking dirty dishes on a couple of tables and never cleared the mess in the hour we were there. Asked for coffee refill twice. Finally got it and Bill. Waited over 15 minutes for server to bring machine. While waiting had an elderly lady in line ask me if I knew there was a line up, as if I was wasting time at my table with just my coffee. Did not appreciate being made to feel bad due to staff lack of attention. Eventually I just left cash on table. Definitely will not return. Food was not that spectacular to warrant the lack of service.
Best breakfast I've had in a long while! The French toast was perfectly sweet, and the vegetarian Benedict was tasty and the perfect portion. I would come back to Stratford just to visit this breakfast spot!
We ate breakfast two mornings in a row at Romeo’s. The service was excellent, and the food was great. Everything was fresh, including homemade biscuits and our food cooked just the way we asked. Highly recommended!
Popped into Romeo’s while in Stratford for a play. I have been in Stratford many times for work and pleasure but this was my first visit to this establishment. We were on a tight timeline - traffic was heavy getting in, I “may” have taken a wrong turn as well, and we were starving. Nothing wrong with Timmies, but we wanted something with a bit more culture, and “Romeo’s” was on the nose following a quick Google search. Parking was ample, fortune smiled given how busy the town can be when a show is on, and when we went in there was still available seating. We notified the hostess of our timing dilemma, and her immediate response was not to give us a firm “no” or false assurances, but “Let me check with the kitchen and see if we can accommodate you. ” Brilliant! And, thankfully, they could. We kept it simple - two sandwiches, one fries and one salad with a couple of pops. We even ordered the same sandwich - the Grilled Cheese Deluxe, a sourdough bread delight packed with cheddar, mozzarella, Brie, bacon, caramelized onion and a fried egg. (Eyes, meet stomach!) The sandwiches were amazing, even if it was more than I am capable of eating for lunch, and the fries were deep brown and crispy and well seasoned. Perhaps my wife was smarter with the salad - fatty cheese and bacon with fried egg and onion on a grilled bread was maybe a bit too much heart-clogging goodness to put alongside fries - but the flavours were cleverly combined and created an outstanding bite. The feather in the cap for the team was the service. The hostess had alerted our server of our time needs, and I saw her communicate this to the kitchen when she brought in our order. The kitchen team nodded and gestured to us, clearly aware of their part in the process of getting us fed and out to our show. Great communication between all three levels in the restaurant! Finally, our server brought us our bill and machine in our final bites rather than waiting for us to ask, noting that she didn’t want to pressure us but that this way we could pay and leave without delay when we were ready. Sensitivity to a customer’s needs is just as important as the quality of the food, and while I might have knocked a half-star off because I needed to do 15k steps to burn off the delicious calories, the team gained at least that much back in their exceptional customer service.
Early Sunday morning breakfast. Just heading out after a lovely weekend. Wonderful food, friendly service. The washrooms left a bit to be desired but they were clean.
It took awfully long time to take our order and serve it, the food was okay, however the fries were burnt (literally brown and bitter) and the waiter mixed up our orders. Also the place was very busy and nearby table was very loud.
We will keep on coming, very enjoyable choice for brunch, and a good array of Benedict's options. Good homey, Canadian, old fashioned service. Make reservations though, you'll thank me.
My boyfriend and i recently visited stratford for a two-day trip, and we ended up dining at Romeos three times! Twice for breakfast (their bennys and omelettes are incredible) and the other was deelicious dinner and drinks before we went to the festival theatre.the staff is so friendly and the atmosphere is timeless.safe to say we'll be back again and again.thank you!
I too was brought in by the positive reviews. I ordered the Eggs Benny special, which added asparagus under the egg. The eggs were cold and undercooked as was the English muffin, the asparagus was not fresh and very chewy. My partner ordered the breakfast special, 2 eggs, breakfast sausage, shredded potatoes and rye toast. The eggs were cooked nicely, the sausage was cold, and the toast was barely warm and not toasted. As for the service, it started out friendly and welcoming, once the order was placed that was it. Had to reach out to another server for additional coffee. The next time we encountered our server was to ask if we would pay by cash, didn't like the machine. I did not experience good value for the total cost of the meals at over $50.
