Reviews of Grind Café & Catering Co. (Event Planner)

I used Grind Cafe & Catering for a Fundraiser event on April 5th, 2018. The food was absolutely perfect! Melissa was amazing to deal with - her food suggestions matched the event perfectly. The guests raved about the food all night. Everything was perfect - food, customer service, presentation. I will use Grind again and again!

Grind is a wonderful restaurant, and they also available for catering.At an outdoor gathering, I had the opportunity to enjoy the delicious appetizers served by Grind. Both hot and cold were amazing and they offered an excellent variety, plus the staff were so friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend them if you're looking for a terrific caterer for an event.

One of the best restaurants. Whether it is their daily menu, their mother's day buffet, international dinners, or Friday in the summer on the patio, the food is spectacular and Melissa and Bryan and their staff are amazing.

We were in Sarnia to visit the tall ships that were coming in that weekend. It was an absolutely marvellous day to take a walk along sarnia's Waterfront. While we were there we decided to pause and pick up a coffee and a sweet to enjoy down …

My husband Jason and I hired Grind to cater our wedding last summer and we could not be happier with the food and the service! Brian, Melissa, and all the staff were not only so organized and on top of everything, but they were incredibly professional, friendly and pleasant to us and all of our guests. Leading up to the event, Melissa and Brian were very responsive to all of our inquiries and eager to help us out in any way that they can. We received so many compliments on the food and will certainly be using Grind for any other catered events in the future! Melissa and Brian - thank you to you and your whole team for making our day so memorable and enjoyable for us and all of our guests! You certainly are the best in the business!

Cranberry Brie sandwich was great!! Very friendly staff.

The Grind Cafe is THE best place for lunch or breakfast...not open for dinner. They do wonderful catering. The daily specials change each week. Like them on Facebook to get the daily specials each week. One of the few restaurants in Sarnia with a view of the water doesn’t hurt. More importantly, their food is always fresh and delicious. Unique without being too “out there” for most people. I’ve stopped here many times to grab something quick to take with me and eaten in as well to enjoy the view. Would definitely recommend. Try it once and you'll go back.

Wow! Brian, Melissa and their team prepared the most amazing meal for us in our home this weekend. The steak was probably the best steak I've ever had and the appetizer of Louisiana mussels with chorizo sausage was creative, and so flavourful! Our guests were definitely wowed! Thanks so much.

We ordered 3 different chicken sandwiches and all of them were good. Wish there were umbrellas in the sit out

Great place for lunch when you need something quick, but still delicious.

Grind did a WONDERFUL job of catering a celebration last Friday afternoon. They had very little notice or lead time and we were a group of very picky eaters! Everything I requested was taken care of, and all was done effectively, efficiently, and with a smile! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GRIND!

Mercedes Johnson

Our wedding this past Sunday, in the Gateway Room of St. Clair Corporate Center, catered by Grind was absolutely perfect. Everyone raved about the food as well as the gorgeous venue! The staff was super friendly and helpful, and the service was excellent. We were so happy with everything!! Highly recommend!!!

Friendly staff, great food and awesome coffee

Amar Badami

Incredible from the front door to the last bite. Always greeted with a smile and a suggestion for what to feast on. Even though I always get the same delicious grilled cheese - EVERYTHING here is amazing. You haven't been to GRIND? Get out much?

Hilary Ryan

Grind is a hidden gem in Sarnia, and a MUST TRY!!! They have it all, from a gorgeous patio that overlooks the river, to nice table set up inside if the weather does not let co-operate. The menu has something for everyone, you will not be disappointed as everything is amazing! They also provide catering for any type of event from weddings to dinner parties, Melissa and Brian are incredible to work with to plan your special day!

I've had numerous entrees from here and everyone has been fantastic. Brian is a great cook and great guy overall.

Isabel Walsh

Delicious!!! Wow ...you've done it again!!! That ham and scalloped potatoes dinner for Easter was fantastic!!! Thanks!!!

Alex M

You gotta Eat here. Food is fantastic ???? .

Jeff Belanger

I don't know if it was the temperature or the quality of my sandwich and coffee, but both tasted off. A concern was raised, but it seemed they had more important matters to deal with by whispering F off to a customer. You know who you are.

Lunch was not delicious, fast and affordable.

Kahlil Roper

Grind catered our recent wedding and did an amazing job! Melissa is a total professional, she was organized and easy to work with, was very accommodating of guests' dietary restrictions, and the food was absolutely delicious! We got many comments from guests that each meal came out hot which is quite an accomplishment when you're serving 120 people!

Tracey Cain

Excellent food with fantastic service. I try to get here every time I'm in Sarnia.

Christopher Delmonte

We hired Grind Cafe for our wedding this September and they did not disappoint!! If you are looking for amazing food and something a little bit different, I would highly highly recommend. Everyone commented on how good the food was and went up for seconds. From the appetizers to the best stake I have ever had, to the homemade cookies, everything was pure magic. We also hired Grind for bar staff and they were amazing. So easy going, fun and a pleasure to have around! THANK YOU SO MUCH. I will never forget our delicious wedding meal. - Meghan & Brett

Grind catered my husband's 50th birthday party last weekend. Not only were the servers and chef professional and friendly but the food was incredibly delicious! The menu Melissa chose had the great variety and appealed to everyone. They even made modifications for a few people right On the spot! Family and friends commented on how fantastic the food was for days afterwards. Many thanks to Melissa Cameron and her talented group of servers, bartenders, and chefs! I would highly recommend Grind for any catered event. They made the afternoon stress free and fun!

Not very many low tables & chairs. Had to sit at a high table which is very hard on my short legs. We were able to move after a bit. Service was slow.
