    Love this place and worth the stop when driving between Toronto and Montreal. Ribs and fries were FANTASTIC… pizza was good, just not my style. Staff super friendly and the place redefines the word “authentic”. Can’t wait to come back

    The BBQ ribs and chicken were delicious. However just the side note you could put a real piece of salmon on salmon salad instead of salmon in the can.

    UTTERLY UNDERWHELMED I felt compelled to write a review after eating this food... I ordered take out from here and got the ribs & wings combo with a Greek salad and a drink. When I arrived home, the drink I ordered and paid for was not in the bag. Bad start. I think the food was sitting out for a while because it was quite cool, despite me arriving 28 minutes into the 30 minutes they said it would take. The ribs - meh. The bbq sauce isn't all that good, but at least the meat was tender. Their chicken wings are decent, but I was surprised that they do not offer any specific wing flavour, nor any dipping sauce. The fries were plentiful but could've used some seasoning. The sauce they came with i did enjoy. Finally, a plain ol' slice of white bread. Mine had a good side and a stale side. The greek salad looks far superior on the picture displayed on their facebook menu. The main disappointment was the lack of dressing. The second was the absence of purple onion, which is pictured on the menu but no where to be seen amongst the abundance of romaine lettuce, the thickly sliced tomato and cucumber, small pile of olives and pickled ?friggitello peppers. The two strips of feta cheese i can say were at least fair in terms of quantity. Overall certainly not worth $17.50 He entire meal for-one was over $50 (though there are leftovers) it would be nice if they offered smaller sized side salads... Highlight: the coleslaw was yummy.

    Fantastic place to come with your family. Awesome food and good service. The ribs and chicken are delicious. Good servers and staff. Bar service is also available. Next time I will stop by for a breakfast. It's a family owned and manged restaurant. ... Since 1975..... Great place to visit again

    Weird restaurant, it didn’t take long to order and get food but fries were cold. Chicken was hot as if it had been microwaved and couldn’t touch it for awhile until it cooled down. My utensils were dirty and looked almost as if they’d been poorly washed and the food was decent but after I had a very upset stomach. Wouldn’t recommend going here unless you have a strong stomach and are prone to sickness.

    Always great, friendly service. Family atmosphere. Delicious food! Really enjoy the pizza, chicken and poutine. I'm a repeat customer! The new owners are a wonderful family and hard workers! A MUST try for anyone who hasn't tried yet.

    Best chicken I've had in a very long time. The server (I think her name was Maddy) was very quick and attentive. Great spot.

    First time there and had the combination breast and ribs. Food was really tasty. Rib sauce wasn't my favourite but that's just preference because the ribs were cooked perfectly and were delicious. Chicken was on point and the gravy was similar to chalet sauce 👍👍👍

    It was ok. Chicken was great, ribs not so much. Kids had spaghetti with meat sauce, wasn't great. Didn't see any actual BBQ on the menu either, ribs from the oven, chicken rotisserie, no brisket or pulled pork. Wouldn't have been disappointed if they were called Cornwall's Best Chicken Joint cause their rotisserie chicken and their wings are the best.

    Owned by the original family that started the business in 1971, I can honestly say this is some of the best rotisserie chicken in the world. Basically, everything they serve is a hit; you can't go wrong! Only thing I'd say isn't right is their pricing as it's way too low. No kidding. They should be charging market rates for such high quality food and instead charge like it's 10 years ago. If you want a memorable dining experience and walk away feeling satisfied and at the same time like you didn't spend enough, check this gem out today! Don't forget to leave a big tip for your server. They earn it for just deciding to come in to work!

    Service is excellent. The food is great, we ordered the All Dressed Pizza which is generous with toppings. This is a family style diner with something for everyone on the menu.

    I have been going to this restaurant since I was a little girl. I love the food. It's the best. It has a mom and pop feel to it.

  • 5/5 Jonny S. 2 years ago on Google
    Always amazing. The CBBQ Special with the feta and real chicken is absolutely the best tasting chicken pizza and value in town. Be sure to order some gravy because it's amazing! Trust that you want some gravy for this pizza.

    Pretty good place for pizza. Not fond of the spaghetti sauce tho. Reminded me of chef boyardee last time I had it

  • 5/5 Crystal B. 9 months ago on Google
    I have not been to this place in about 10 years or more. It is absolutely delicious. The chicken was super moist and the ribs fell off the bone.

  • 2/5 L B. 10 months ago on Google
    Chicken was great. Got a Greek salad instead of the fries and was upcharged $8.50 with no warning of the upcharge. Menu said you could get fries, rice or salad. Waitress didn't warn of an upcharge that was more than 1/2 the meal price and owner gave me a hard time saying he has signs warning of raised prices. I had only been there once many years ago and didn't know their prices. Gravy and bun were just OK. Probably won't return. Also, if you are looking for a fine dining atmosphere, you will be disappointed.

    My wife and I have always eaten or ordered out at Cornwall BBQ since 1977 and the food and prices was always great. The people and service is excellent. We would recommend it to anyone you won't be disappointed at all.

    Great service from a pretty young lady. Onion rings were delicious as well as the pizza.

  • 5/5 Jocksy G. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely not going there for fine dining experience :D Food was plenty and flavorful, and the chicken was perfect!

  • 5/5 Matthew L. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Albert S. 1 year ago on Google
    Come for the chicken but stay for the pizza. Old school restaurant with great food. Places like theses are hard to find anymore.

  • 4/5 Alexandre L. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is absolutely delicious, five stars. I would definitely go again if in the area another time to try another dish. If you want a good looking ambiance, it is a bit oldish but ok. But men's bathroom needs an upgrade (looked clean but definitely needs an upgrade). Hence 4 stars. ;-)

  • 5/5 Pamela D. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious food, reasonably priced. Fun retro decor and lots of charm. Skip the chains and try Cornwall BBQ!

  • 5/5 Jason O. 2 years ago on Google
    Felt at home, stopped in passing through town. Great value and the portions were great. I would recommend this to anyone passing through or staying in Cornwall. I will be back on my next trip into town.

  • 5/5 Diane H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and lots of it served by a friendly efficient waitress. Lots of variety and delicious.

  • 4/5 ViV F. 2 years ago on Google
    I really enjoyed this place, nice alternative to St-Hubert plus more. Prices are fair, great to bring kids. My only complaint is the non existent choice of microbrews on tap or in a can. Even one choice would be better than none.Unsure if it's related to the pandemic and not keeping kegs , or it's just they've never served it there.

  • 4/5 Teresa C. 2 years ago on Google
    Placed a "timed" order. The food came pretty much on time and the fries were still hot. The pizza is good too ! Will order again

  • 1/5 George E. 2 years ago on Google
    Cornwall bbq so disappointed that you changed your pepperoni and your cheese you had a signature pizza for over 20 years and a special taste now this change is sorry simply gross I will never order a pizza again so disappointed 😞.
