Windsock Inn

What a pleasant surprise! Very friendly & clean. Food was excellent — especially the chili. Blazing fireplace was perfect for a cold night. Drinks were great and prices were very reasonable — definitely will be back again to try other things on the menu! Daily specials and everything homemade & fresh! Very casual and comfortable!

Its a dive but a comfortable dive. Nice flat panel displays, mixed with a floor that is old wood planks and is uneven. It has a pool table in the back, and the original wood stove that they used to cook on as a planter. Drinks are cheap and ice cold. Everyone is cool and fun. Clientele runs from local folk, and laborers in flannel shirts, old timers, then with the private hangers next door you get the pilots that fly 30 million dollar jets that filter in and have a few pops too! The have their own sweatshirts for sale that are good quality and have a cool WWII fighter airplane Corsair (which used to be built around the corner) on the back.

Total dive, but I love it! Perfect place to play some pool, listen to a jukebox, and meet great friends. Remember to eat before you go or after as I’m not feeling the food situation.

How is it I’ve never reviewed the Windsock before now? What a mistake! This place is wicked awesome!!! First, the prices are decent. The place is as casual as it can get and very comfortable. The people working here could not be more friendly and there is plenty of close parking, a decent jukebox, satellite TVs and tremendous food. Tremendous food? In a small, divey joint like this? Oh yeah! This is the best burger in town, the best dog in town, the best sandwich in town, the best chili in town, the best stuffed cabbage in town, the best corned beef in town… etc. But there’s a trick to it. You have to go with whatever they are serving that day. There’s no fixed menu. If Jeanie is cooking there is a lot of variety. Some of the others limit their offerings to things they do best. The pizza’s are typical frozen bar pies. They are fine, just not something the Windsock makes. See if they have hot dogs and if so, get them with chili and cheese. See if they have cheeseburgers and if so, get them with L/​T/​Mayo and maybe some onion. See if they have corned beef or pastrami and if so, get a sandwich. This is my favorite place to eat this type of food in Stratford followed closely by the Ale House and Danny’s. Don’t miss this one! Even if you just want to watch a game and grab a couple drinks, there’s no better spot to do it!

This place is such a dive, so it’s great to go to for a good laugh and a drink or two. I’d avoid the food given the appearance and cleanliness of the place, but the draft drinks are fine.
