Reviews for Foster's Inn in Stratford, ON
We didn't stay in the hotel as it was fully booked. A friend and regular guest here suggested to try the restaurant. We came... several times for breakfast during the festival week. Very friendly service and great food! Loved it! Read more
We had an amazing night out catching up over a wonderful meal. I had the very large Cobb Salad and my friends each had the Pasta... Feature. Our waitress was attentive and super friendly. The kitchen was busy though, so be prepared to wait. We will be back. Read more
We had dinner at Foster’s. The Southern Fried Chicken was one of the best restaurant meals I have ever had. The service was... also very good. I would not hesitate to return. Read more

Great coffee. I ordered the French toast with aged cheddar and carmelized apples which was delicious! Also decent prices ????
My mom and I went to Fosters Inn restaurant for breakfast. We are staying at the Mercer Hotel and the receptionist recommended... Fosters for a good breakfast. So we walked over. The man at the door told us to go take a seat so we did. We walked past whatlooked like the only waitress working and took a seat. We expected her to come right over with the menu considering we were onlyone of two tables and she wasn’t doing anything. But instead, it took about 5 minutes before we even got a menu. And when shefinally came over, instead of being polite and friendly, she sat the menus on the table and said “any coffee?” with astraight face. No greeting or anything. Immediately we got a bad vibe. So we said yes, coffee please and when she came back weordered. She barely spoke to us the entire time. Then the food came. I had ordered the Daily Scramble. Which said on the menu itwas a scramble with grilled toast. I am pescetarian and don’t eat meat. When my “scramble” came over it had ham,asparagus, tomatoes and what looked like cottage cheese. It said nothing about containing these ingredients on the menu. So, Ihad to scrape it all off. Which was fine but not an experience I liked. Then I went to have my toast and it was not onlysmothered in far too much butter, but it was stale. My mom’s meal was absolutely covered in pepper which she doesn’t like atall. So not only was the service bad, but so was the food. The only okay thing about fosters was their coffee. Would notrecommend Fosters to anyone. Read more
The food and service was good, but too expensive for the amount of food you got on your plate. The food was cooked well and... tasted delicious; however, paying over $7.00 for a coffee that really wasn’t the best and through us off. They are cheap andshould not be so stingy with what they put on the plate given the price you pay. Staff was very friendly and did a great job,so to the owners of Foster’s pay your hard working staff more because people don’t want to over pay you for what you serveand customers don’t want to fork more money out for a tip to your servers. Learn a few great traits from the Gilly’s acrossthe street, there, customers are so happy because they know people are hungry, much more reasonable in price for a lot more foodand servers enjoy their jobs and get better tips, we will return to Gilly’s and not go to Foster’s again for food!

Came to Stratford for the weekend to see Chicago (which was amazing). Stopped in at the Fosters Inn for a bite to eat but... unfortunately we hadn’t made a reservation so we sat up at the bar. We ordered drinks and our apps and the bartender washelpful and friendly. We let him know we were seeing Chicago at 8. We placed our order with the bartender for our main mealsjust after 6. We were getting 2 steak dinners both medium rare, and a pasta that was on special. Our food didn’t arrive to usuntil 7pm. When it came the pasta was great but we cut into our steaks only to find they were cold. I let the bartender know andwithout saying anything, he took our plates away, came back a few moments later and very matter of factly said it would beanother 5-10 minutes. After the 5-10 with no steaks in sight I said we would have to leave because we have our show. He seemedvery irritated at us about that fact and made us feel like it was our fault. It was a very awkward atmosphere. He suggested wejust take it to go as it would be done “soon” (after already waiting almost an hour for it initially) which we declined aswe were heading to the show and didn’t want to pay almost 100$ for steaks to go. We could tell he was very visibly irritatedand even turned to guests that were further down the bar area to show his frustration towards us. I have never felt so awkwardor mistreated in a restaurant. We have been to Stratford a few times and have stayed in the fosters hotel a few times before,and have always had amazing experiences. Unfortunately we will never be back to this establishment again after this incident.They did seem very busy, however the staff should be properly trained on how to deal with these types of situations and maybenot take out whatever frustrations they may have on the guests who are just trying to enjoy a night out. I suggest if you wantto go somewhere where the staff won’t treat you like you are an inconvenience or annoyance, to go somewhere else. Also m Read more
