Great food
Great food and service. Brooklyn bomber was great.
Amazing food, great atmosphere, friendly staff! Can't wait to go back! The Buddha Bowl rocks!
It's pricey but the service is good and so is the food and draft selection.
Best food, staff and atmosphere in CK !

Decent food
Great food, fantastic staff, perfect atmosphere all at a very reasonable price ????????
great food and selection of beverages
Fantastic atmosphere, great staff, and the food is incredible...cant beat those 3 necessities...
Food was fine but a bit pricy. Would be 4 stars if food was either a bit better or a bit cheaper.
Really good spot downtown, great food and lunch specials! Homemade hamburger is the best! Fish and shrimp special is a favorite.
Went on a Friday night, not too busy because they didn't have any live music playing that day. Delicious food. Love the local beer choices! Would definitely recommend.
Great sandwiches .. the Club Sandwich had a Frendz twist that I liked .. including guacamole. Fries were good and the service was great!
Enjoyed supper and great company
Great little pub
It can be nice. Sometimes service is slow.... in that no one is there or maybe one other table and it still takes half hour to get a drink. I really liked your tapas menu that you had before you changed it. Can be a nice atmosphere.
Very good atmosphere and good food.
Waitress was amazing food was delicious I definitely recommend it
If I could give this place no stars I would. We came in a group of 7 with three toddlers.First impressions where disappointing, smelt like mildew or mold.. sort of like an old basement. We were told by our server that there was a party coming soon and in other words "be fast". Also too our surprize there we were told their were no booster or high chairs and we had three children under 4 this was gunna be a struggle. One of us discovered an old booster seat sitting on top of a shelf which we were given. Once getting the seat it had no lap belt and probably wasnt the safest thing but since we had no choice we used it. Our waitress was kind and friendly and took our drink order which we waited a solid 20 mintues for an additional 10 for a beer. The menu was a good size but was laminated paper held on a clipboard...not sure if the owners are cheap or just lazy. I understand with a group of people there is an expected wait but the wait for our food was ridiculous.. took about an hour since sitting down. Anyone with kids can understand how this is a major struggle. When the food did arrive my burger was horribly overcooked. Ive felt hockey pucks softer than this burger. The bun was stale and it was just a general fail. The fries were okay! Each person that got a burger got the same thing. The kids got grilled cheese which my daughter didnt appear to like but probably ate because she was so hungry. After a wait for our bill the waitress screwed the bills up (expected since their was two families) it took 3 trips and 3 bills to figure it all out. This isnt to bash our waitress as she appeared new so it's understandable and she was very pleasant. All in all this wasnt worth the $53 dollars I spent for slow food that wasnt worth the wait. I will never recommend this place to anyone and we will never return. #gross
I went here for a beer and chicken fingers, I was told that they only had chicken fingers from the kids menu. I asked if I could sit in the corner in the shade, they told me it was reserved but I can sit in the sun. I told them that I will only stay for one beer and no food. They gave me the table in the corner, in the shade. I looked at the reservation time for the table I sat at and the reservation was not for over 90min, I could have had lunch and a beer and be finished before that 90min.
Meeting up with friends at.Frenz was great. Buffalo cauliflower and vegetable samosa were great!
Gud space to spent with friends.... too loud music... feels lil discomfort while eating
Band was very good Wolfe Jazz
Good beer selection
Good service and drinks, nice patio!
The food was delicious and atmosphere was good, however they weren’t knowledgeable about which options were gluten-free. They kind of just guessed and we paid the price the next day. I wouldn’t say their food is celiac friendly.
Good music and food
I am sure the food is good but do not place order with Skip the Dishes. Food was poorly packaged (just plastic bags). Didn't get the majority of my order and I have a strong feeling the driver went through what I did get. Threw in the garbage and went hungry.
Most Awesome apitizer special. Hope they keep it.
One of the best places to go for a relaxing well prepared meal I've seen in Chatham. The staff is professional and friendly the food is very good and despite the comments about cost lunch for $15 or dinner at $25 per person isn't out of line for what you get here
Food is a decent and a nice change of different options from the average restaurant in the area and the alcohol selection is good.
Enjoyed the outdoor patio this past weekend, fantastic and super friendly service! Cesars were delicious as well as the most phenomenal pickle fries I have ever tasted!
It was very busy, but the bartender tried to serve us as quickly as he could. The live music was good, but it's a small bar so be prepared to stand!
Love their mac and cheese with pulled pork!
Great food, drinks, and atmosphere
It was a very nice meal
Busy busy place, tight quarters
Its d best. U hv to be here if you are in Chatham.
They seem to be still getting back on their feet from the pandemic so the service was slow. Not enough staff maybe? Good food though. I would go back.
Awesome food and drinks ask for jaimie as a server
It's the only place we stop when were in Chatham. It has a warm and relaxing decor, great food and friendly staff
Dine in
After the happens over the weekend and the off duty managers drunken behaviour towards a paying customer I will not return.
My friend and I went for drinks.Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere.
Slow service
Held a surprise birthday party at Frendz. Food was amazing the staff could not do please you enough! What a wonderful place to have a birthday party! Thank you Frendz staff!
Love the food and the atmosphere! I've only been for lunch and never had a bad experience. The Shanghai Express was incredible! I was craving it again the next day :)
Stopped by this place while passing through Chatham for work. I generally like to try places outside of chain restaurants, if at all possible. My wife and I settled on frendz and was not disappointed. If you wanted standard pub fair, they had it. And if you were feeling something outside of the standard orders, whether it be in the food or drink department, they have that too. The local craft beer selection was well put together, and they didn't have so many on tap that the kegs go stale. The weather wasn't warm enough for the patio, but it was definately a place I would go again to be able to sit outside with some good food, nice pints, or some creative cocktails. Friendly staff, prompt service and good food at competitive price points. Ticks all the right boxes
Great place very helpful and friendly staff
Friendly staff, great atmosphere, food was amazing! ????
Great place to gather with friends and have a meal or some drinks. Definately Chatham's elite bar.
Great outing. Band was good and service was friendly.
So great. Drinks were on point. A little pricey but worth every penny.
Taco Tuesday's are great! $2 tacos that go well with a wide selection on tap!
Good good and wine but limited beer selection.
Great place to go and just chill. Daily specials and their truffle fries are devine!
Saturday afternoon on the patio. After about 10 minutes I did get 2 menus, a small and a large one. After another 25 minutes I was finally able to order a beer. When it arrived I was trying to order their Juicy Lucy and was told the kitchen was closed.....huh??????
Great food and service.
Great food and very reasonable
Due to i have be gluten free bartenders will help you and good people
Excellent service great food. Had the Spanish Paella and it was outstanding. Great lunch experience.
Great food & entertainment
Always great food and fantastic entertainment.
Great specials both food and drink. Very nice patio area all summer staff are very friendly and very accommodating.
I love the quiz night! The Downton Abbey cocktail is delicious.
Great food, good ambiance with perfect music. Fantastic, friendly service. Definitely recommended.
nice place...great food nice selection..very nice waitress.. would definately go back again..
Excellent specials and menu items. Great beer and wine selection. Clever and topical shot and drink specials.
Frendz has really stepped it up. Great atmosphere, lots of drink options and the kitchen offers high end food at fair prices. Trivia night is a great way to spend a wednesday.
Lots of fun tonight with great peeps and great music with Slip N Out!!
Great service and food. Our waiter Brandon is the best.
Great food, fun atmosphere. The wait staff wasn't as personable as I had expected, but still a relatively good experience.
Amazing place. Food is always great from the selection to the presentation. Service is top notch. And atmosphere is welcoming. Live bands on weekends and daily specials on food and drinks. I definitely recommend this establishment to everyone!!!
Nice for a drink. Not much options for food.
Nice atmosphere and decent food. Staff was kind and accommodating.
Excellent food for Valentine's day.
The band was great but I couldn't hear what the person next to me was saying. It was very loud inside. The food was very good though. The chicken wings were so good.
Our waitress/bartender was very friendly. (I think she is the owner, but not sure.) I had the "Peruvian Picante" cocktail, which I highly recommend. You can tell a lot of care goes in to creating the drink/food menu to be a little different and to set it apart from other standard places. My husband ordered the thai soup and cuban sandwich, both were excellent. I had the Haddock hammocks and sweet potato fries, again, no complaints. Our waitress even asked if i wanted a dipping sauce for the fries which I LOVE because some restaurants are stingy and make you beg for extras, but not this place. We would definitely go back and recommend it to passers-by.
This place keeps going down hill, I've been going for a few years, it's getting pretty bad. The food has just gone from great to bad. I've loved their Thursday steak, as I love steak but it's just gotten too bad to even complain. I was a semi regular, now never again. Pretty much any other place is better at this point. Please please focus on food and customer service, otherwise what's the point?
I have always had good food here. Although I'm not sure if it's a restaurant or a pub/bar, still good tho.
(Translated) not worse (Original) pas pire
Always a fabulous atmosphere! Great food and drinks.
My friend and her husband were treated inexcusably by an off duty staff member. The staff member was belligerent and calling my friend inappropriate names. I used to love going to Frendz but will not be back as their staff cannot treat customers with the respect they deserve. It isn’t a very friendly place. The staff member in question needs immediate termination.
Great food , could use maybe a bit of a bigger menu but overall great food and experience
Got away from Windsor during Covid. This place had a special trimmed down menu for the pandemic but was very delicious. There draft local beer was fantastic. Great service too. I shall make another trip
Great music and some vegan options are great. Wish there were changing menu features.
I wanted to enjoy my experience at the Frendz Restaurant and Lounge but unfortunately after todays lunch I will be leaving a 1 star review with no immediate plans to return. I was very excited to see a vegan burger on the menu advertised as beyond meat. After I ordered 3 beyond meat burgers I was brought 3 "Veggie burgers" in which I had to ask the server what brand they were. She kindly went to go check the ingredients for us and not to my surprise told us they were not beyond meat but instead Sol Grillerz (a much cheaper brand ). We said we would try them but both found the overwhelming taste of garlic and texture of the patty to be unappetizing. Neither of us ate our burger beyond a few bites (with the exception of a third who was not vegan and didn't mind as much). During our meal we were swarmed by wasps that had managed to seize our Pina Colada that had only been half consumed. Once our plates were cleared we were presented the check for full price. I was a restaurant manager for 2 years and a server for another 3 on top of that.... I would never have charged a client for something we we're falsely advertising and that they didn't enjoy. No one came to talk to us as to why we were being charged full price despite this experience and sending back our " food ". I truly hope Frendz hears what we are saying and pays more attention to their customers and less to their wallets. If you have any dietary concerns AVOID THIS PLACE!
Great food and friendly staff
Ice cold beer at Frendz! The staff is fantastic, they will make you happy!
Food was good. Drinks were better.
Great service, nice people, can do better on draft selections
Great location and beautiful historic building. We went after seeing Kim Mitchell at the Capitol theatre across the street. Good crowd and wonderful band played. Seating is conducive to meeting and chatting with other patrons. Ordered one serving of coconut shrimp and they were tasty. Service was great and bill with shrimp, glass of wine and a beer was $37 plus tip.
Delicious food.
Nice place Frendz. It’s comfortable, with good music and most importantly, fantastic food. It’s all about, taste, presentation, and the delivery. If I could... you would get a 10.
Delicious food, great drinks, excellent service!!
Very good food at a good price and the servers were very nice. Also the place looks really nice
This is a great spot to share a casual drink or a formal meal. Perfect atmosphere to make a special moment. Food was exquisite service to was outstanding.
A unique place to dine. The 'burger' was very flavourful, but overcooked and the bacon extremely overcooked. Service was excellent.
An amazing local bar reminiscent of the community feeling one would get from watching the American sitcom "Cheers"! The loaded nachos were super tasty and everyone was incredibly welcoming and friendly!!! Frendz is aptly named!
Fantastic food and service
Great apps and company.
This place is amazing. The staff is professional and the atmosphere is amazing.
Excellent food quality. The sandwiches, salads and fries were all very good and they had many vegetarian choices, including a home made veggie burger. The brioche bread was toasted and the presentation very professional as you can see in the picture that also shows the fish and chips and some mexican dish with fish as well. The server was new but very attentive and friendly.
Nice place for a cocktail.Meal ..not so much.. Never have received my meal that it has been hot. Always arrives luke warm.
Best place in town!
Passing through town and stopped in at Frendz. Restaurant was clean. Staff were very nice and friendly. Food wasn’t terrible but it also wasn’t amazing. Nothing was actually fresh. It either came out of a bag, box or can. Pricing of menu items was ok. Definitely not the worst Ive ever been.
Overrated. Waited almost 2 hours for a burger. Only 2 servers and 1 bartender for a full restaurant. One of the most terrible dinning experinces to date.
Food was amazing and one of our favourite restaurants!!!
Love this place. I will be back
The food gets a 5. The service was horrendous, she forgot my beverage and I had to practically grab her as she walked by my table to get refills or anything else. Great burger though.
Casual, overall good service, decent food, daily specials. Mene hasn't been updated in a long while.
Happy hour was great. Had their 2/$10 apps and the rib special. All delicious. Great atmosphere.
Just the right size.....not too big and not too small. The owner knows how to please.
It was late afternoon when our party arrived. However, two of our group were informed ten minutes apart that the (same) menu item they had ordered was no longer available. We then watched as members of the band, who were eating before playing, were served the same dishes. Not cool. Since it was early there should have been sufficient food on hand to handle the orders. I should note the restaurant was almost empty. I would give five stars to our server Rebecca...she did a very good job.
Excellent food
Best sandwich Ive ever had is from this restaurant/lounge bar. 'Driving Ms. Daisy' Sandwich.. Trust me.
not good anymore after owner changed.
Kudos to the management and staff for the amazingly wonderful job and meals to celebrate Valentine's Day. Julie Brooks-Wright was amazing for management and the wait staff and kitchen staff were wonderful. The meals were delicious and well worth it and the atmosphere was perfect.
Went for a Christmas party and had a large group Service was good , and the steak was amazing Tender and cooked perfectly. Potatoes were a little salty and could have been a bigger portion. Otherwise The meal was very good.
Excellent tasting food.
Love the place. History of the building and friendly staff. Food was very good.
Experience was not good for me. I am Vegan. I went with family and all of us ordered what is on Frendz menu "Beyond Meat Burger" which was not true. They gave us one with different brand and let me make it very clear; it is not even close in term of taste. Beyond Meat is top brand and we paid $14 per burger for that. They didn't even apologize or give us discount. We didn't eat whole veggie burger because it is meh. Frendz falsely advertising their vegan option as beyond meat which is full on false.
Waitresses are great, very accommodating for those with dietary restrictions
Great Service, Great food & Fair Prices Would definitely recommend :)
Service
Awesome meal
Good food really great service.
Staff was friendly and courteous. Drinks were served in timely fashion. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a spot for a bite and a beverage.
Frendz is a beautiful elegant restaurant with extraordinary food and even better wait staff. The owner even took the time to specifically come to our table to see how our meal was! I cannot wait to go back here to try something new
Awesome place and atmosphere
Awesome staff and food!
Good food and entertainment
The Frendz restaurant is known in the area for their unique drinks. Add to that the fact that they have a quality kitchen, and this is yet another great place for a night out in Chatham. It's also very common for people to stop in for drinks just to enjoy the scene.
Ordered a medium rare steak. It was mostly cooked medium well. Sent it back, then the waitress comes out to ask me to go with her. I follow her to the kitchen where my first steak is all cut up to show me it's cooked medium rare. No it's not!!! 3/4 of it is medium well. I expect more then 1/4 of my steak to be cooked properly. Then they tell me how my second steak will be cooked more around the edges then in the middle. It was pretty much the exact same as the first. Yes I ate the second one as all my friends were pretty much done eating. Then when I say to the waitress that it is inappropriate to be dragged back I get a oh well that's the restaurant business. No it's not normal to bring a paying customer back to the kitchen and treat them like they have no clue . Thanks but it's not my first steak. The manager never came out to talk to me. The waitress brought a free dessert that I would never had ordered so it was completely waisted. And I paid full price. I'm completely unimpressed and will never go back after being treated so poorly.
Nice little find in downtown Chatham, food was delicious and quick. Really nice atmosphere. Only a 4 star because the washroom smelt like urine. If the ceiling fans go missing it wasn't me......
Wyatt is the best bartender you will ever have the good fortune to serve you
We went on a Saturday evening, ordered the BBQ whiskey burger, and the pulled pork nachos. Food arrived in a very reasonable time, and tasted great! Wait staff was very friendly and attentive, music outside was very nice. Fantastic atmosphere. Loved the belt driven fans. Will be returning often.
Great Place
This is a fun place. Excellent staff. Unique draft beer choices. Could use more and better TVs. It is one of my favourite destinations.
Staff were polite and quick with our lunch orders. Food was hot and good portions.
Love this place! Great food and awesome atmosphere.
Good food
Really good food, good and friendly service. Only problem was that they forgot our appetizers lol.
Great food! Its quiet enough for conversation but also lively enough for a group get together. The perfect balance!
Chill with a great vibe
Great food, drinks, staff and atmosphere!
Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff.
Booked reservations, the closed with no message to me to inform of closure. Reached out to share experience but no response. Not on my business meeting, personal or recommendation list.
A very high end, trendy place. Especially for a small town like Chatham.
Good food. Friendly service. Great music.
An excellent place for wonderful food, or a few drinks with friends in the evening
Hadn't been out in awhile so it was nice. Service was great
The manager was calling another customer names, swearing and acting crazy. We felt so uncomfortable we left.
Great atmosphere, outdoor patio, and draft!
Awesome lunch, will be back
Great food if not a little expensive.
Meal type
Not very good service
Amazing place to be !
Go in and ask Amy to make you a Mojito and you'll thank me.
Baby back ribs were excellent and the price was reasonable.
Really disappointed. I came from out of town to visit my family. Two are vegans - we chose this venue because Beyond Meat burgers were listed on menu. False advertising - they weren't Beyond Meat, was an inferior competitor's product instead. I'm not vegan - but if I order a Strip Loin steak and I get a Sirloin steak at the same price, I'm gonna feel ripped off. That's how we felt. I actually like the Beyond Meat burgers better than the carnivore variety now, so I too felt disappointed. We also lost over half a cocktail to the wasps - invest in some wasp traps. The waitress did make an effort asking the kitchen what we had been served instead, but my problem came when we were presented with the full bill, no effort at discounted items. Given the circumstances, when the product was not the same quality as the menu listed and clearly two out of three of us were quite unsatisfied with the substitute product, it tells me this place is run by a management that doesn't care at all about ensuring any standard of customer service. Hardly lives up to the name 'Frendz'.
We usually just go for drinks but decided to have dinner there tonight. It was absolutely delicious. My husband's stesk was amazing and my gualomoie clubhouse was to die for. Our servicer Alesha was the best part of our dining experience .Soo attentive. Will definitely go back
Great food!
It was just ok we went to see the band that was playing as we knew the one member. We decided we might as well eat there I ordered the bourbon chicken and my husband ordered the Buddha bowl. Both were terrible my rice was not cooked and his noodles were dry seemed like they were not cooked or something wasn't right. My sister in law and husband ordered the same and the same complaint from them. I told the waitress, she was good about it to take it back but it was towards the end of the night for the kitchen, and i just ended up eating the chicken and the vegetables. The sauce was good but that was the end of it. We ordered an app first, the wings, perogies and another type of stuffed pastry with dipping sauces they were very good. Nice restaurant but the main meal was not. My husband wanted to have a fun night as I was the DD, he likes his vodka, & cranberry he had about 5 drinks said he might as well have had pop he was wondering if they watered the booze down Hugely disappointed other than the band that night, chances are we won't eat there again. I agree with Reuben they've lost our business. It was Saturday August 14th 2021.
Food was good and staff very friendly. Nice atmosphere
Great service. Friendly staff that listens and offers help. They can accommodate special requests for food allergies. Delicious food! Beer was cold!????
Great service and food. We love going there for lunch
Awesome food and drinks will definitely be back great place
Live music, one of the many few bars in Chatham that offers a good variety of beers on tap that is constantly changing, as well as creative bar drinks. Although we didn't get any food. Have had some in the past that is killer. Scenery inside of the bar has a unique style to it as well. A must go to for locals and for the travellers in town.
Wyatt...is the best!!!
Nice place for a patio drink in the sun, staff friendly, I've ate here before food was decent, small place but nice location downtown
Awesome atmosphere and great music from Mark Chichkan
Food was passable, but overpriced for the quality. Drinks were poorly made and a mess when they came to the table. I won't be going back.
place is cute inside but not very clean. staff were nice. food was a big disappointment. my hubby's steak was over cooked, my chicken was dry. not worth the prices at all!
Always good food, drink service sometimes takes a bit....
It was a fun atmosphere. I'm not crazy for Jazz and it was the band of the night but it was enjoyable... And the service was great.
Really good service, and our waitress was very kind and friendly toward me and my friends, food tasted delightful aswell
Very friendly and the food was very good
Disappointed there weren't more people here live band Saturday night great food!
We had a fantastic meal...steak....our waitress made our day with her friendliness...we would go back again..
Great food. Reasonably priced. Great staff that went above and beyond to make us happy. Will be returning!
Best old fashion in town!!!
Had a great time and food!
Truffle poutine is very good.
Excellent food and very good service. They also have a nice selection of beers.
Good menu and super friendly servers. The atmosphere is is welcoming but the tables are very small with tight space in between them.
Food was good service not up to par
Great atmosphere, superb soups
The food was great and so was the beer a
We went there for the first time to hear Mark Chichkan play. What a great bar/restaurant and patio. The drinks were good and we had some apps that were very good too.
Fantastic
Awesome place
Great place for lunch! Mark and Brenda always take great care of everyone. The daily soups are off the hook! I asked Mark if you could make a Lobster Bisque one day, two days later he called me to come in for lunch to try the Bisque - was awesome. I have never had a bad meal here in my 25-30 visits.
Decent Tacos for $2.
Tasty lunch specials, friendly service
Had a great steak, cooked perfectly. Great atmosphere, a cold Stella on tap, amazing dessert, a pretty date with me; life is good!
Dinner
Servers treat the customers poorly when they are no longer on shift. I will not attend frendz after a heated altercation with my friend whom was innocent. Poor business practice.
I have never personally ate here but after hearing and reading the experience my friend went through, I will never step foot in here. She was extremely insulted by an off duty worker.
Friendly service and good music.
Wowsers great lunch on the patio .. highly recommend!!!
Delicious food, good live music and cozy environment.
Love the food!!!!
Service is slow. Way to small for a live band and you can't talk while they are playing
Great staff and service
Great atmosphere!!
Frendz has the best ribs in Chatham-Kent. Anytime they have a rib special, be sure to get it. Their waiters are also excellent.
We moved to Chatham 2 weeks ago and we love the food, the atmosphere is trendy and 3rd Rock band was outstanding. A must go to place to sit outside.
great band played. service was fast and efficient
