Came here to see one of the best productions of Jesus Christ Superstar — absolutely incredible. The cast, staging, and sound were top-notch. This venue consistently hosts excellent theatre. A fantastic place to enjoy live performances!

Saw Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hamilton last week. Situated in an revitalized section of Cambridge next to the Grand River. Lots of restaurant choices within walking distance. Theatre could hold just over 500 patrons, and was sold out for this show. Great performances and ice cream at the intermission. Will ansolutely visit again.
Such a nice theatre. Comfortable seats. Friendly staff. Free parking.
We went to see Ali Hassan’s comedy show at the Hamilton Family Theatre and had an amazing time! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were super friendly. The seating was comfortable with a great view from every spot. Perfect venue for a night of laughs and entertainment!
One of my favourite theatres. Due to the size there is not a bad seat anywhere.
Even to the fat sides you don’t get a blocked view.
There is lots of parking and the staff are very kind.
Been to many shows here, they always hire great performers, directors and crew that make every show feel like one of kind.
Excellent experience. The play was well done (Witness for the Prosecution) and seats are quite comfortable. Parking is adequate and everything is very orderly. What more could you ask for?
We're saw" witness for the prosecution" written by Agatha Christie.
The play was very well done.
In the first act, we did have some difficulty hearing the young actor playing the accused. Much better in act 2 and 3 and after we figured out the hearing devices that we got for free at the box office.
Modern theatre in the heart of Cambridge. Right across from a beautiful park that is situated along the river. The interior is clean and the shows are superb.

Nature & Parks
Garden
The Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory is a 25,000 square foot facility located on a 107-acre site that includes the environmentally-sensitive Kossuth Bog. It features an indoor tropical garden with thousands of free-flying butterflies from around the world, over 100 varieties of tropical plants, waterfalls, streams, reflecting pools, and various animals. Visitors can witness butterflies emerging from their chrysalis and taking their first flight while relaxing among the beautiful water features.
We had a blast as a family walking throughout the conservatory and inspecting all the bugs. My daughter had so much fun. We ordered food at the cafe and my daughter loved the park just outside too. Staff was friendly and able to help if you needed it. There is a cute gift shop inside as well. Try to book ahead, they could sell out and if they do they will not take walk ins. If you look online before you go and there are many open tickets you might be fine but why chance it?
Brittany R — Google review
First off, the reservations — you have to book a time slot online and pay for tickets ahead of your visit. They clearly state they may turn away walk-ins if it’s busy. Understandable, since the butterfly area is small, and they don’t want to overcrowd it. On the plus side, parking is free and there’s plenty of it.
Inside, there’s a small cafeteria and even a little playground for kids. The entrance leads to a small welcome area, and then you pass through double doors into the butterfly conservatory. The space is kept warm and humid for the butterflies — which feels nice on a cold winter day, but on a sunny day I was sweating buckets. There are lots of butterflies, and if you’re lucky one might even land on you.
Now the downsides: the arena is very small. You can easily see the whole thing in under 15 minutes. For the size, the ticket prices feel steep. They don’t allow outside food, which is tough considering many visitors are families with kids, and there’s no designated area to sit and eat your own snacks anyway. If you’re a larger family with kids over 2, expect to spend quite a bit between tickets and the cafeteria.
Overall, it’s worth visiting once for the experience, but don’t stress if you skip it — you’re not missing a full-day adventure.
I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Butterfly Conservatory. It was quite easy to tour around the facility. The building is very accessible for people who might require wheelchairs too. The variety of butterflies and birds is quite astounding. I really enjoyed seeing the Nicobar pigeons. I’d recommend the butterfly conservatory for people who might be on a date, also if you’re single it’s a lovely place to visit too.
I recently went to a wedding at the Butterfly Conservation in Cambridge, and it was such a unique and beautiful venue. Being surrounded by butterflies and lush greenery made the whole day feel magical and intimate. It’s such a peaceful setting — perfect for a wedding which is what I was there for. The staff were kind and helpful, and everything felt really well taken care of. It was such a special experience, and I can’t think of a more memorable place to celebrate a wedding.
Such a beautiful and relaxing place to visit! The Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory feels like stepping into a tropical paradise right in the middle of the city. The moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by warm air, lush greenery, and butterflies flying all around you – some might even land on you if you’re lucky! 🦋
It’s not just butterflies either – there are little birds, fish ponds, and some really unique insects to see in the side displays. The whole place is very clean and well-maintained, and the staff are friendly and happy to answer questions.
It’s a great spot for kids (they get so excited when a butterfly sits on them!) but also really peaceful for adults who just want to enjoy nature and take photos. You don’t need a ton of time to go through, but it’s such a calming and refreshing experience that you’ll want to stay longer.
Definitely recommend this place for families, couples, or anyone looking for something different and relaxing to do in the Cambridge/Kitchener-Waterloo area.
I had a pleasant overall experience, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the visit enjoyable. The pricing seemed fair, but it did feel a little less worthwhile because of the limited space and the relatively small variety of species available to see.
The place itself is quite compact, so it’s best to visit during quieter times. If it gets crowded, the area can feel congested and a bit overwhelming. There are lots of butterflies, although most of them are of the same species, which reduces some of the excitement.
Other than butterflies, there are only about ten different types of creatures to observe. There is also a cafeteria on-site, but the menu options are limited, so don’t expect too much variety in food choices.
This will be such a great place for family with kids, or couples. Lovely garden with tons of butterflies surrounding, and if you take a little peak in the bushes, you might spot some little birds under. Me and my friends spent at least 2 hours there, just in an awe.
This is a great place to learn about the life cycle of butterflies and admire them closely. My visit last weekend was my third time around. There is no extra cost for parking and generally, I get the feeling that I was able to see more butterflies than the other version in Niagara Falls. The staff is very friendly and enjoy interacting with those visiting this location.

It features sports fields, trails for hiking, picnic areas, a splash pad, and a skate park. Families can enjoy playground structures and sports facilities while taking in the scenic views along the river. The park also provides opportunities for bird feeding on the boardwalk. With four reservable picnic areas, it's an ideal location for family gatherings and group events.
The largest park in Cambridge, Ontario. Ideally located within short distance of Preston town centre, this is a nice place to enjoy some quality time either alone or with your loved ones. There is limited parking at the front but more parking areas within the park.

The park also has four reservable picnic areas, making it a great spot for family gatherings and group events. Whether you're looking to go for a hike, play sports, or just enjoy the outdoors, Riverside Park is a true gem that has something for everyone. I highly recommend visiting this beautiful and well-maintained park in Cambridge.
One of the best parks in the Cambridge region. Long scenic trails. Park benches facing the riverside is so relaxing to sit & watch the fish & ducks wading in the water.
Has a huge baseball field & some people play cricket too. This place hosts some events too every now and then.
Pretty nice park, lots of good trails however some of them require maintenance as they have been overgrown with weeds. Sports fields are full of goose droppings so watch where you walk if you cut across a field.
Good place for kids & family. Water splash pad, swings & slides and many other activities for kids. Tennis courts, shed for a family get togethers. Neat & clean. Washroom are available.
An awesome park with all the amenities needed for a great outing. Plenty of picnic areas, a playground, skate park, dirtbike track, public tennis courts, soccer fields, beach volleyball nets, baseball diamonds, splash pad and a nice trail to hike, cycle or jog on. Lots of parking. Some of the paths and parking lots need to be repaved
Great place to walk around with the kids. My only complaint is that signage is basically non existent and it was very difficult to find my way, as this was my first time going. But great playgrounds and splash pads for the kids. Shaded areas for the adults to sit and hang out.
Great park for both adults and kids
There's so much to do and see.
I love going there.

I am so grateful and thankful for the park 🙏
Thank you to all the people who worked so we have the parks we have today.

Visitors can explore the fascinating journey of fashion through entertaining digital presentations and immerse themselves in the history and lifestyle of different eras.
This place was really cool and had some really interesting displays up. I would highly recommend this museum and would be coming back to it in the future
Moe ( — Google review
Small but very impactful. Beautiful fashions showing the history of fabrics and styles. Informative detailed history wall of when fabrics first were produced. If you like seeing dresses from the last couple of centuries, this museum is a must see!!!
What a great place...it's small but perfect! Great staff and really interesting exhibits...we spent 1 1/2 hours! Highly recommended.
Nice little museum we didn't even know existed till a few days ago. We enjoyed the cream tea as well and had a very pleasant afternoon.
I really enjoyed my afternoon at the fashion museum. It was an interesting experience, especially the OnlyFans display of women's fans used through the years.
I also enjoyed the vintage store there as well.
The staff was really friendly!
The museum is small but well worth the price if you are interested in fashion and fabrics. They had some great pieces in there!
Would recommend.
Small space but very interesting. We saw the history of Canadian fashion and the Dior display. Will come back again when the exhibit changes in a few months! There was an image scavenger hunt for the kids!
Beautiful display in a lovely building, with fascinating details provided by the curator. Those gorgeous clothes on display for the 2019 exhibition Made in France were mesmerizing. Clothes really can be art that you wear! What a fun little museum in Hespeler. So glad we visited.
Lots of interesting fashion memorabilia on displays. Worth the one-hour drive visit from Toronto, expecially for those who are interested or study Fashion. Wish, this museum will get some money to expand.

Churchill Park is an urban green space that offers a variety of recreational activities for families to enjoy. The park features ball fields, hiking trails, and opportunities to observe wildlife. Additionally, there are facilities for basketball, skateboarding, and a splash pad for children to cool off on hot days. A notable feature of the park is the Water Wheel located near the main entrance pond area which was designed by Uncle Wayne La Croix and installed by a Southwood High School Class years ago.
A wonderful park with many places to explore and activities to keep the family entertained in the great outdoors. Paved trail through the center of the park makes for easy walking with strollers or biking for all ages; trails wind throughout the park and lead to adjacent neighbourhoods. The splash pad and accessible playground are well maintained, as are the washrooms. The rocket ship has seen better days and will hopefully be repaired, but is still a neat place for kids to hang out. A great place to spend the day!

I love this park for a quick walk off to get some sun. This place also have picnic areas and children park. Plenty of parking at all the entrances. The water doesn’t look really clean though. I wonder who is littering here.
There are also small trails through the woods around the park you can explore. Also have a sport ground.
This is big and beautiful park. And parking lot also big. They have baseball court, basketball court (ground was not flat), volleyball court (you have to bring it net) and playground.
I saw a great blue heron. It was pretty big and quiet.
It wasn't our favorite park until we found the pond. Very quite and calm place. There is also a small river, good playground and 2 big parkings.
I grew up in G-town Cambridge so it's always a part of me. Churchill park along with Grand River trails alongside was my playground growing up. I'm a little disappointed the Peacocks are gone along with the Deer that use to reside in the back of the park where they kept the animals for kids viewing and to visit, now it's just home to Ducks and Geese along the Ponds and walks ways. The Park Splash Pads, family picnics areas or just sit on the benches to soak in the view if your out for a stroll through this park which is built with trails that you can continue through across the street onto the Brant trailways. Soccer field past the playground areas, Baseball diamond up top behind the washroom areas open for public use in the summer months. The city of Cambridge can update and clean this park up a bit more as it's a beautiful place to enjoy with your family, the rocket playground has been there since I was a lil girl still a popular hit among the kids with an updated play area for the younger todlers, great place to spend with the family all around which brings back old childhood memories.
A wonderful place to have fun.
You can get everything you can think of. Go with your soccer ball or your bike. It’s one of the best and biggest park I have seen in Ontario. It’s very beautiful and neatly kept. You can sit and read or work on your smart phone without any interference. Parking lot is very big. I love this place.
Parents, pls plan to spend more time because kids don’t want to go home. You really have to make them tired else, they will cry home.
Used to bring the kids here when they were small, dating back 20 years ago or more. The park has not changed much but remains a good place for smaller children or just to go for a hike!
We decided to go for a little hike here on this beautiful day and found that the pond is still a great place to watch ducks - these ducks are very domesticated… lol, they will follow you around endlessly if they think you have food for them - which we didn’t... Despite the many signs stating NOT to feed animals, they are not afraid to come within a foot of you for a chance to get the first crumbs being handed out.
There are also a lot of geese here - which, sadly, makes it a challenge to step anywhere without stepping in poop…
There are washrooms which were still open this time of year. They were pretty clean which was much appreciated!
There are a number of paths that come and go through this park - you can walk for some time without leaving the park boundaries.
Worth the visit but remember to watch your step!!
Extremely clean park with three or four playgrounds for all ages, peacocks, deers, splash pad, small campground, BBQ area, picnic tables, full court basketball, baseball diamonds, trails, plenty parking, restrooms, all accessible. Kids love it here. Splash pad open daily from 11am -7pm in season

I've been a few times and it's incredible!
From Sunday brunch to a nice dinner service and food is amazing.
Brunch is fresh, with so many options available. The coffee is delicious, and I love that mimosas are included. The food options range from eggs, bacon, to fresh seafood and pastries, and more! We were celebrating my spouse's birthday and our server still gave us a sweet treat with "happy birthday" on it. He was also wished happy birthday by many other staff members that attended our table. It was very thoughtful and we felt very special.
We will definitely be back as I still crave that delicious, melt in your mouth, beef short rib dinner.

I very much enjoyed my lunch here at the Cambridge Mill today.
My Waitress Emma was excellent and created a positive and seamless dining experience.
She is very friendly, efficient and really gave us lots of attention as she checked on us making sure we enjoyed our food and kept our waters topped right up.
The food was delicious.
I recommend the Burger! AAA beef, iceberg lettuce, caramelized onions, smoked cheddar. I also enjoyed the Parmesan Fries.
The scenery of the water is beautiful and the restaurant was nicely decorated with pumpkins.
A lovely restaurant and i will be back again soon.
I visited Cambridge Mill resturant with my friend and her mother. It was an excellent experience, I am a regular customer and every time I go I like it more. The atmosphere is wonderful and the staff are all showing hospitality. They are well trained, and polite. Even there was a mistake in taking the order, but they fixed the order in a quick way making sure that my order came quickly right on time with the other orders. Highly recommend
We celebrated our 11th consecutive anniversary at this special restaurant, the very place where we were originally married. It’s become our yearly tradition, but this year’s celebration was especially memorable.
Chris, our server, was truly exceptional - attentive in every detail, making us feel genuinely cared for throughout the evening. The food was nothing short of perfect, with each dish expertly prepared and beautifully presented. A special thanks to Shaylin, whose fantastic dessert recommendation was the perfect finishing touch to our meal. Her friendly visits and infectious laughter added warmth and fun to our night.
All in all, it was our best visit yet. We’re already looking forward to returning and celebrating here again next year!
I get what all the hype is about.
I had the kale salad which was phenomenal and the roasted beets which was good but you have to really like beets. Both options were vegan. My friend had the burrata which they enjoyed. The portion sizes were also huge which I wasn’t expecting.
This is one of my new favorite places to eat at. Interior is lovely and the view is amazing. Food was really high quality - probably my the best of any mills I’ve been to in Ontario. The steak and pasta were so good, and the drink also. Highly recommend this if you are looking for views, ambience, clean modern space with a touch of history, and amazing food - particularly steak.
Celebrated my brother and my newest sis-in-law's wedding recently at Cambridge Mill. The food was absolutely delicious, served hot and efficiently, and we felt truly spoiled. The staff, led by MC and Carlos, were kind, professional, and never missed a beat with ensuring that the celebration was exactly that and stress-free. As a guest, it was a wonderful time and I only heard praise from the happy couple about their big day and the preparations leading up to it. Bravo and thanks for such beautiful memories ❤️ Completely recommend you choose to celebrate all of the special moments with family here and to make the mundane special too with a visit!
Just a wonderful Sunday brunch in a beautiful setting with fantastic service and perfect food. We had a group of 10 with 4 kiddos under 8. Everyone found plenty of food they liked and it was always fresh and refreshed frequently. Our table overlooking the river was just perfect. Now, it is certainly expensive but if you can get past that issue, you will have a great experience.

Very well pleased with my first visit to Blackshop. We had The Duck confit and the Atlantic Salmon. They were very accommodating to my guest’s dietary needs of gluten free and dairy free. Our waiter Harry was excellent and had the chef adjust the sauce to be dairy free on the salmon.
Thank you to the wonderful chef for our happy bellies and to Harry for being attentive to anything we needed.

Fantastic food! Our compliments to the chef, Asela. We tried the Atlantic salmon and the chicken mosaic dishes, which were packed full of flavour and cooked to perfection. An appetizer and strawberry cheesecake dessert were paired with a couple of cocktails to finish off the night. We could not have asked for anything more. Wonderful service. We will definitely return for another evening out at this establishment in the future.
Went last night (Saturday)for date night. I can’t say enough about our experience. From start to finish 5 stars! Food was amazing and delicious. Best Brussel sprouts ever. When I asked our server about ingredients, she said “just a minute and I will ask the chef”. Moments later the executive chef appeared to answer all my questions. He went above and beyond to get me the recipe. Will definitely be our go to place.
Had an absolutely fantastic Sunday afternoon at the Blackshop. We visited for their endless brunch where our server Randy was so kind and informative to ensure we had the best experience. We tried several of their dishes, the Classic Benny, Breakfast Tostada, Tuna Toast, Grilled Cheese, Cheeto Mac & Cheese, French Toast and Mini Pancake Stack which all was individually, very delicious! The Chef Ace came out to introduce himself to us as well, invited us to his fall dinner debut, which we are now very much looking forward to.
The ambiance of this restaurant was so pleasant, a breath of fresh air that gave us a GTA vibe with the live DJ playing tunes to set the playful energy.
Overall great food, exceptional service and beautiful atmosphere. We will definitely be back and telling all of our family and friends!
Went a couple of weeks ago for endless brunch. The coffee was superb and the food just kept coming. Endless small plates ?? - I wouldn't say they were that small......at the end I was so stuffed I just wanted to lie down in a darkened room lol. Needless to say we didn't eat anything for the rest of the day. My son in law is Spanish and he said the potatas bravas were excellent and "someone in the kitchen really knew what they were doing". Loved the DJ too nice to have music but not too loud or intrusive. Really hoping they keep on doing this thing. We have a wedding next year and I would love to bring the wedding party for the brunch the day after the wedding. They have semi-private rooms which would make it perfect.
Fantastic brunch. Food was delicious!!! Couldn't have ask for a better server, top notch !!
On a trip back into Toronto’s from Windsor we selected this restaurant to stop at to eat dinner.
It was a quiet night but the service was excellent and they answered our questions with knowledge and made excellent suggestions.
The food was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening and would recommend the Blackshop to our friends.
My mum, sister and I went for the Endless Brunch that just began on February 9th. The atmosphere, service and the quality of the food was sublime. Our server Katie was attentive and very kind, ensuring our beverages (unlimited coffee and tea and $6 mimosas) stayed topped up. The food was brought out quickly. The Chef Ace came to our table to check on how we were enjoying things. The decor and the music was absolutely perfect for a Sunday morning girls brunch. I would absolutely recommend this option as an affordable ($45 per person) fun brunch in Cambridge. It was delicious, elegant and memorable. If you haven't checked it out yet, run don't walk to try this fantastic menu.

Customers praise the pleasant and attentive staff, as well as the consistently great food and welcoming service.

Grain of Salt Indian Cuisine: A Culinary Gem Worth Visiting!
If you're searching for authentic Indian flavors served with warmth and care, Grain of Salt Indian Cuisine is an absolute must-visit. From start to finish, the dining experience here is a delightful journey through the rich and diverse tastes of India.
We began with a selection of appetizers, including crispy Pakoras, flavorful Manchurian, and perfectly spiced Paneer Tikkas. Each dish was accompanied by a variety of fresh chutneys that elevated the flavors to a whole new level.
The main course was equally impressive, featuring traditional dishes like Maratha Curry, creamy Dal, and the indulgent Paneer Curry. These paired perfectly with a variety of breads, from soft Rotis to the aromatic Garlic Naans all served hot and fresh.
What truly stole the show, however, was the chai—rich, aromatic, and perfectly brewed. It was the perfect way to round off an exceptional meal.
The ambiance of the restaurant is inviting, and the staff are attentive and welcoming, ensuring you feel like a valued guest throughout your visit. Whether you're a connoisseur of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, Grain of Salt offers a dining experience you won’t forget.
If you're in the mood for authentic Indian flavors, this restaurant should be at the top of your list. Highly recommended!

Some of the best Indian food on the planet. I've traveled the world and outside of India this is the VERY BEST.
Absolutely outstanding. The depth of flavours is always the same. Incredible to find a restaurant that is so consistent 👍👍👍
Great food! Great friendly, fast service! We got 3 main dishes to share amongst four of us and there was more than enough food! Lamb Kadai, badami murgi, butter chicken.,mango lassi and masala chai were all so so good. (Excuse my spelling) definitely a great spot for upscale comfort food!
Grain of Salt has been our go-to place for Indian vegetarian cuisine. They have most of the commonly eaten dishes but every one of them is freshly prepared and has a unique taste. They serve non-veg as well but we have never tried it. Their service is great and pretty fast. All their main course items come with either 1 naan, rice or 1 roti which make it a little economical due to less number of items to order. Last time we ordered Kadhai Paneer (which is ideally a 3 star on spiciness but they customised it to mild for us and it tasted great) along with Naan, 2 rotis and mango lassi. The Mango Lassi tasted like it should. They offer papad, mint chutney and tamarind chutney as complimentary starters. The best part is how silent it is even with guests. It is frequented by a multi-cultural population which shows how well accepted it is. I recommend it for everyone looking to try out North Indian food.
My spouse and I just moved to Cambridge , and we had heard raving reviews about Grain of Salt. We just had to see it for ourselves. We were greeted immediately upon entering the restaurant, by very friendly staff and were taken care of immediately. There was a wide assortment of beverages and food options, and our waiter did not hesitate to provide his opinions on what the best dishes were! The atmosphere was lovely, quiet and the restaurant was very clean. The food.. absolutely incredible. Everything tasted like it was made with love. The flavors were amazing and the portion sizes and prices were very fair. This is my new favorite place in Cambridge!!!
We went to Grain of Salt at Cambridge very first time on Aug 30 2025 . It was really great experience. The food was served nicely by Sachin, Vani and harshi.We ordered vegetable noodles,chicken Pakora as starters abd Daal makhini,, karahi paneer, butter Naan-food was very really delicious.. They made sure every time about the food, is good or need something else while we were eating, and moreover the ambience was so mesmerizing. Me and my husband always preferes very quiet and calm place. Definitely coming back. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
They saved our night. Me and my friends were out for game it was about the time to Restaurant close and they didn't just let us in last moment they served us best, Including amazing recommendations about dishes to try. We had "Vegetable Maratha" it was spot on. Amazing experience and awesome service. Kudos to team working here.
Changing my 4 star to 5 today. All thanks to Hershey! Keep it up team!
I dined at Grain of Salt and was impressed by their Badami Murgi and Saffron Rice. The chicken was tender, with rich, nutty flavors from the almonds, and the saffron rice was fragrant and perfectly cooked. The dishes were both delicious and comforting, showcasing authentic Indian spices with a modern twist. A fantastic experience overall!

Very clean spacious venue with a good selection of beers. The food looks good although I didn't try this time. Very knowledgeable staff who answered questions about the history of the area and this business. Could use a little more selection on the take home cans although you can always opt for getting a growler. Was our favourite stop of the day!

Cool brewery with some great offerings. Flights of 4 available if you can't decide in a full pint.
Food menu was good too. The smash burger was very good, as were the fries. It friends got the classic poutune, which was also great.
Lots of parking work 2 chargers for EVs. Staff were great as well. Nice shop for swag and beer take home purchases too.
Nice restaurant indoors with a small but cute patio. Lots of parking available. Tons of merch to purchase if you’re into that. Food was decent. I ordered the works fries with nashville hot chicken on top. Friends got the burger with side salads.
Arrived and sat on the patio and then waited 20 min for service. Once a waitress arrived after the host sat another table next to us probably notified the server who came a minute later. There was no apology for the wait just a what can I get you. The table next to us had to call over a waited as they had also been waiting for at least 10 min. I know the average standard is to at least acknowledge a table within 2 minutes. The interactions were just kinda awkward from there. If you plan on coming here and sitting on the patio make sure you order at the bar first or the your vibes might die. The last time I got service indoors in was great and I just recommend they get a server for outside instead of having multiple people run around.
Well deserved delicious meal. We biked in from Guelph and had a nice dinner on the patio. The place has such a nice and relaxed vibe. We got a flight of beers that were all tasty. And we both got sandwiches. The fries were great and the burgers too. We will definitely be coming here again.
Really great & fun spot. The food was awesome and the beer was even better. You can tell everything’s made with care. My burger was unreal and the flight was super fresh. I had to grab a pint of Spooky Boi, easily one of my new fall favourites. The vibe inside is relaxed and everyone working there was super friendly. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in Cambridge!
Food is really great. Poutine was outstanding!
Good beer selection, only if you like IPAs. Not great for anything else. No wheat beers, no sours. Somewhat disappointing for our table.
Parking is a challenge often. Still a fun vibe!
I have never had such kind service at a restaurant, me and my girlfriend took a road trip out to Cambridge and stopped here for ice-cream. Instead of being understandably upset about re-opening their ice cream stand, they gave us two scoops each for the price of one, AND ON TOP OF THAT OUR WAITER ONLY CHARGED US FOR KIDDIE SCOOPS. Phenomenal place 10/10 please go here. They also have games which was a GAME changer…get it?

Nestled in a charming, unassuming house, Little Louie's Burger Joint & Soupery is a delightful local eatery that specializes in gourmet burgers adorned with creative toppings. This cozy spot offers not only mouthwatering burgers but also homemade soups that warm the soul.
At first I thought it was a bit pricy given the places 'Diner/Truck Stop/Wimpys' feel, but honestly I think I got pretty good value for the meal. I ordered their daily special which was "The Double Bacon" burger. Very tasty. A generous sized beef Patty with a thick slab of pemeal bacon and then regular bacon on top. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Staff were freindly, good atmosphere, not too crowded, seating available outside and the bathrooms were clean. I'd definitely go back and try out their milkshakes. Another patron had mentioned they're very good

They have vegetarian burger option. And shakes are very delicious. We had chocolate chips shake. Seating area is very unique and nice ambiance. Food was not of great taste bit at the same time not too bad. It was okay i’d say. Service was nice. When you go you have to choose yourself to build your own burger which is interesting.Outside seating available.
The burgers and soup were very good! Tasted fresh! But let me tell you, the dessert was CRAZY! I wanted to order one of each haha but I’m coming back to do that . I ordered the brownie with pretzel, marshmellow and caramel. It was probably the best brownie I’ve ever had. I also ordered the “end of the bar” Milkshake which is basically the end of each dessert bar blended with ice cream :/ it was truly amazing. I’ll be back (Arnold voice)
Friendly staff and fast service. Who doesn't love build your own burgers? My burger was delish! Fries were fresh, hot and had the perfect amount of salt 👍
The only suggestion I have for this cute lil burger joint would be move away from plastic utensils as they are not environmentally friendly.
Reduce, reuse and recycle 😉
Hidden gem, clearly. Made it here for the first time last night and couldn’t be more pleased. As a huge fan of hamburgers, I will add Little Louie’s to the top of my favourites. The salads and fries are good companions to their delectable beef and chicken burgers.
Plus, their staff is friendly and their owner has a hell of a sense of humour. Read a review on TripAdvisor before going, “Sue” had written a bad review because she didn’t get her way when wanting a free side. The owners reply on TripAdvisor sealed the deal on me driving there for the burger. Small businesses owners have to stick together, and I found the comment hilarious. 🤣
Such a great find! Food was fantastic, everything was made perfectly. Burger patty was moist but not greasy, had a great flavour to it. Buns did not fall apart, home made fries were crispy on the edges with a soft inside. Burger that was made to order gave lots of variety of toppings and the pulled pork was sooooo good. Will definitely be back again!
Best burgers in the area?
We have been here many times over the last couple of years, and we all agree, their burgers are epic.
We love the idea of having one of their weekly creations, or being able to build your own burger. Their meat is awesome, their brioche buns and perfect, and all their ingredients are fresh and homemade. As a bonus, these guys make delicious and flavourful soups, so I usually pair my burger with one of their heavenly soup creations. The service has always been very friendly, and we don't mind waiting a bit for our food, as we know that is being created fresh for us.
If you're ever in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by.
(p.s. We endured a 30 minute drive, through our region's crappy construction/traffic, just to come here last time. What excuse do you have? .... LOL)
We went for their special lobster burger and it was amazing! So much lobster and we left so full as it includes a side (fries, soup, salad) and a drink. I've been here before for their burgers which are completely customizable and also come with a side. Never been disappointed!
