Don Cherry’s

Grapes would not be proud
Don Cherry’s at the Beacon Harborside Hotel is a sports bar with a large menu that makes you wonder how can they offer such a selection of items when the place is empty? I felt compelled to ask what to order, hoping that the waitress would guide me to what was routinely available with a skeleton crowd.
So my guest and I ordered the Canadian sandwich which was basically a clubhouse sandwich. And it was OK. I’m glad we ordered an item that would be hard to mess up. However the chicken was very dry and overall the Canadian, the most popular item, would have scored a solid 6 out of 10. I can’t imagine ordering some of the other items.
The interior is a bit run down and has seen better days. There are many TV’s that still seem to come out of the 70’s. Our waitress on the other hand was attentive, cheerful and definitely improved our experience.
Maybe they should have a few of Don’s old suits on the walls. A few new TV’s and a basic «freshening up» would also go a long way.

Horrible service… You can’t imagine worse! Dirty cutlery/​utensils. Our waitress talked to friends while we waited to get a water refill. They brought us food we didn’t order… Claims she put the order in correct and the chef made it wrong. She was super apologetic but it’s too late.
Good news: The dessert was fantastic though!

We stayed at the Ramada which is attached to Don Cherry’s. I can only write this review on the breakfast though, what a fiasco! The place was completely unorganized. It was seat yourself, which is fine, but nobody came over to see us for well over 15 minutes even after I talked to someone. I was actually giving it 5 more minutes until we left. The breakfast buffet they offered for $ 18 was not worth from what I saw. We ordered off of the menu for just that. If it wasn’t for the 2 for 1 coupon we received with our room, I don’t even know if we would have done that. Service is lacking, the tables were left dirty, and the food was mediocre at best.

Slow slow service. 45 mins for apitizers. Another 30 for main course. Would have been fine except there was only 2 other tables. Add the fact that all the food was cold. Not impressed. Manager made excuses for staff. Would not recommend

I would give 0 stars if I could. We were staying at the Ramada which is attached to this restaurant. Me (36 weeks pregnant), my husband, my sister, brother-​in-​law, and they have 2 girls (1 year old and 4 year old). We got in late and were really hungry so we decided to just have dinner here since its right downstairs. Me, my sister and kids got there first, the place was dead. Just two older men sitting at the bar, and a whole bunch of staff. Instead of seating us in the dinner area, they sat us in the bar, but fine, they just mopped out the place so it was wet. Husband’s came shortly after along with the baby stroller. I don’t know who the man was, maybe the owner? But as soon as he spotted the husbands with the stroller, no greeting or anything he just told them «I don’t know where you guys are from, but here in Ontario, you cannot have kids at the table and order alcohol.» My husband told him we are from Toronto…” The man didn’t seem to care, just kind of gave that «oh well» look. When my husband told me that, I was like wtf, and we got up and left. Why did he assume that we weren’t from Ontario? And why can’t you order a beer with dinner, with your kids at the table? I am very big on customer service as I believe it makes a HUGE difference. I tip well if you exceed expectations. This restaurant didn’t seem too keen on wanting to serve us so why should we waste our time and money on them?

I wish I would of Unilocaled this place before going. I’m at Niagara Falls for the weekend and came down for apps and drinks to the restaurant in the hotel we are staying.
What a fiasco!
The drinks were terrible. Worse than bottom shelf! The food was bad too! And the service wasn’t great either.

I just keep getting disappointed with the food here. I have a 10% discount from the hotel but it’s useless since there are other taxes I have to pay like DMF and HST.
The food is mediocre even the wings. I’ve tried the mild wings, chicken wrap, some waffle nacho cheese that’s a local fav and the burger.
My best recommendation… go elsewhere and make sure your food equals the money spent. Try the Lundy strip and go for fast food if you wanna keep it cheap.
I’m giving it a two star because our first waiter was very attentive. I forget his name. But he’s tall and bald.

I wish I could give it a zero. Worst burger in my long life. Well done, ordered rare, stiff as a board and burned on a stale roll. Mediocre off the truck fries. Very slow service. No wonder so few people were there. Stay away.

Wing deals are the best. The wings here are great. Small sports bar that plays most games. Great customer service. Two stars because the other food is pretty bad. Don’t order fries. They were undercooked. Poutine with undercooked fries should be a crime punishable by death. Burgers were flavorless and boring. Great spot for wings and beer. Skip everything else.
