Really good spot downtown, great food and lunch specials! Homemade hamburger is the best! Fish and shrimp special is a favorite.

Shannon St. Jean

Great sandwiches .. the Club Sandwich had a Frendz twist that I liked .. including guacamole. Fries were good and the service was great!

Matt AKA LoneWolf

Waitress was amazing food was delicious I definitely recommend it

Aleena Singh

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.

Franco Enea

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.

Brendon Holland

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!

Daniel Ferdinand (WingManDan)

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.

Brian Marchand

Great specials both food and drink. Very nice patio area all summer staff are very friendly and very accommodating.

Kyrie Abbott

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!!!

Andrew Thiel

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.

Reuben Bailey

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?

Wisp

Always a fabulous atmosphere! Great food and drinks.

René Ratterman

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.

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

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!

Ice cold beer at Frendz! The staff is fantastic, they will make you happy!

Colin Lewis

Food was good. Drinks were better.

Michael Hale

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.

Cary Templeman

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.

Harmanpreet Singh

This place is amazing. The staff is professional and the atmosphere is amazing.

Hope M. Pelufo

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.

Nichelle Parker

Food was amazing and one of our favourite restaurants!!!

Randy Rieger

Last time I was here, we had a great time on the patio. Good beer and sunshine, that's all you need.

David Paradis

Happy hour was great. Had their 2/$10 apps and the rib special. All delicious. Great atmosphere.

J Bachmeier

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 …

Dan Strong

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.

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.

Art Stirling

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

Char Martin

Awesome staff and food!

joe featherstone

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......

Darci Rice

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.

Andrea Leboeuf

Staff were polite and quick with our lunch orders. Food was hot and good portions.

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'.

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.

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.

John Meko

Friendly service and good music.

Wowsers great lunch on the patio .. highly recommend!!!

Frendz has the best ribs in Chatham-Kent. Anytime they have a rib special, be sure to get it. Their waiters are also excellent.
