Fabulous Food
August 12, 2014This is a great family restaurant with a new updated menu. We have been there for breakfast, lunch and dinner and always leave satisfied. There is a great atmosphere and the entire staff is friendly and helpful. Demetre is known for making his dishes from scratch.. from the amazing soups to the awesome whipped potatoes. He does it all.

Good food
August 09, 2014Family owned and run makes this place a great place to take the whole family. Demetre himself makes sure the food is great, while Leah runs the restaurant and very well too. I have eaten here for years. Don't take my word for just go there.

Meh
July 31, 2014We visited this place based on Tripadvisor reviews. It's probably the first time I've been misled. The waitress was lovely and was very helpful. The restaurant is clean and pretty with lots of hanging, stained glass lamps. My husband ordered the steak and asked for mashed potatoes when they were offered as a choice. When the dinner arrived, the steak... more

Great place to offer your family a variety of choices
July 28, 2014This is a lovely family restaurant with a lot of choices on the menu plus some daily specials. The environment is pleasant as are the staff members. There is plenty of free parking available. I have been here for breakfast, lunch and dinner--all were good.

An Enjoyable Meal
July 17, 2014
Family Restaurant is a well put term. It is comfortable, clean and without pretence. Service was attentive . Greek food is their specialty . We ordered moussaka
and liver and onions. Portions were plentiful. The moussaka was a bit over cooked and lacked some spice. Greek salad served on the side was tasty. For dessert we shared a slice of...

We Made The Best of It
July 17, 2014We entered and had to wait to be seated as the lady at the desk left instead of seating us. Took a good 5 minutes to be seated after staff saw us entering dining area looking for some service. Cindy took our drink order and gave us more time to look at menu. We ordered and it took 45 minutes... more

Twice was two times too many
July 01, 2014I've been here twice, once for dinner and once for breakfast and I attended a dinner event that they catered. I'm not sure what the hype is about at all, honestly. I should have listened to my stepdad who said they make food for the elderly who need mushy food with little taste. Both times I had to ask to... more

Great place for lunch
June 10, 2014Stopped by Demetre's for lunch on our way into Stratford to see a play. First impression was that it could do with an update- wicker chairs, dark wood and plastic flowers. However, excellent menu, servers were great and the food is wonderful. Very reasonably priced for a delicious meal. Great location and plenty of parking. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

A Lovely Place to Relax and Dine--Any Meal
May 21, 2014
This is one of the more pleasant places to eat in Stratford. The restaurant is well appointed--brick, plants, gardens, and serves family style (plentiful) meals at respectable prices. Had a nice display of Pelee Island wines on while we had lunch so could choose from a wide range of nice wines.
Service was prompt and food tasty. Nice atmosphere--pleasant staff,,good...

What a wonderful experience
May 19, 2014When we got to the restaurant, we were told that a bus full of people had just arrived at the restaurant so we would be waiting for half an hour for our food. However, despite being so busy, we didn't have to wait that long before we got a table and our food. The food was simply delicious!!! Best calamari... more

May 01, 2014Four of us stopped here for lunch today. Our order was: steak sandwich, chicken fingers, fettuccine alfredo with chicken and a mushroom omelet. The steak sandwich was tasty but had to be eaten with a knife and fork. We were expecting thinly sliced steak and this was a steak on the bun. The side salad that came with is was... more

Demetre's Family Eatery
April 30, 2014Away from the downtown core of Stratford is a little old fashioned family restaurant that is like a step back in time!! Breakfasts to die for!!!

March 03, 2014Had been to the Stratford Flower Show and was really chilled from the cold bldg. The waitress greeted us and I asked if I could have the warmest place in the restaurant.

Food is good but plain, service is acceptable but not outstanding. It's a good place to being one's parents
October 14, 2013The decor needs updating - it appears tried and worn out. The food is fresh and wholesome, you will not get an upset stomach....but it is a we bit boring. The staff is older and set in their ways....a great place for seniors.

Warm atmosphere, friendly service, excellent food
October 03, 2013On a recent visit to Stratford, our party of six stayed at a motel a bit out of town. Looking for a place to eat one morning, we spotted Demetre's, which looked most inviting. We stopped-in for breakfast, and immediately felt that we'd found a hidden gem restaurant-wise. The hostess and waitstaff were most welcoming, the decor pleasantly homey, and... more

Family Restaurant, Charming Atmosphere
September 23, 2013My family has eaten at this restaurant many times. Service is friendly and prices are much better than some of the upscale restaurants in Stratford. It seems everyone of all ages in our family, from two to 85 can find something they like on the menu. I have always enjoyed the chicken souvlaki...skewered chicken and Greek salad.

Better than a great diner
September 17, 2013I thought this would be a diner but it is both upscale more elaborate. The kitchen was excellent, the menu diverse and the prices low. The dining room was comfortable and service was fine. I liked it a lot.

Family restaurant with friendly staff
September 14, 2013We had breakfast at Demetre's. The servings were generous, with real home cooked potatoes! The pancakes, eggs and bacon were good. Our waitress was attentive to our requests and seemed genuinely happy to be serving her customers. We were a little surprised that they did not have a breakfast special at a lower price and that is what put it... more

Need a Good Homecooked Meal
September 01, 2013The food here is wonderfully prepared and served well. There is something for everyone and the atmosphere is very comfortable and inviting.This place is in an excellent location just outside of town with plenty of parking right outside. (Not good for walkers from downtown.)

Pass this place
August 27, 2013Our dinner was subpar. The one positive I can say was our table was ready on time. We reserved a spot earlier in the day for a night at the theatre. We suspect most others at this venue were also out of town theatre patrons. Service was terrible and we felt sorry for the obviously harried waitress. We had the... more

Just another restaurant
August 10, 2013In my opinion, this place is nothing to write home about. It's adequate and that about sums it up. You get what you pay for is written all over this establishment!

Just a short drive from downtown offers lower prices
July 29, 2013It seemed like most of the restaurants in town were pricier with meals starting at high $20 to $30's and they just didn't seem to have anything that sounded good. Well Demetre's has some of the basics with more affordable prices. My group got the prime rib special with salad or soup, tea or coffee and desert which was strawberry... more

Below average food. We'd eaten here once before (2yrs ago) and thought it was fine. This time it was pretty bad. They were out of several items including mushrooms (?).
Even the hamburger was bad.

Good Lunch
June 26, 2013We stopped by in Stratford on our way and had lunch at Demetre's. The environment is friendly for little kids. The food is generally good but a bit salty. The kids' menu is a great deal. There are drinks, fish & chips and a huge bowl of ice-cream for $6.95.

June 13, 2013We have had lunch here a few times prior to an afternoon performance. The decor is grandma's house: brick and wall paper. You go here for the food, not a date.

Good family restaurant
June 12, 2013We have been twice recently for lunch and then another time for dinner. We had sandwiches at lunch and sole at dinner. Both meals were tasty and well presented. The staff was excellent but at dinner when they appeared to be very busy, the service was slow. We would return again when we are in town.

April 01, 2013The place is c@!p the staff should learn to smile or at least look like they like there job ??.Second visit and it will be the last over priced and food sucks.They must pay people to write the reviews or are they family??.What a hole in the wall go taste for yourself.Big waste of time and money.

Dinner while at a hockey tournamnet
December 30, 2012We went to Demetre's for Greek food while away at a hockey tournament. Service was quick and the souvlaki my kids and I had was fresh and hot - we enjoyed it. The restaurant and decor is a little dated - however the prices are reasonable and good comfort food.

Comfort food, Greek style
December 11, 2012Whenever we are in the mood for some comfort food, my family will head over to Demetre's. We always hope to be greeted by Leah's smiling face but if not, there is always a friendly persom waiting to take us to our seats. The specials are always good deal but my favourite is moussaka which comes with rice and salad.... more

a good, solid family restaurant
November 10, 2012We had a very nice meal at Demetre's last Saturday. It was past the theatre season, so it wasn't crowded. We were just passing though, and we stopped because we saw the relatively full parking lot. The food was better than a chain family restaurant like Denny's or (dare I say it) Swiss Chalet.

Go somewhere else
October 26, 2012Slow service, but they were busy so a little understandable. I got fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy on the side, and vegetables. Fried chicken was greasy. Instant potatoes. No gravy. Overlooked veggies. My mom got the fish n chips. The fish was mushy and gross. Spend your money elsewhere!

September 29, 2012Not to be. Forgive the horrible pun- it's Stratford after all and I can't resist - and enjoy this place for what it is; a good spot for comfort food at a reasonable price. They serve breakfast until 2p.m.;a huge draw for my partner. They have yummy homemade soups and sandwichs and the servers are the nicest people ever. The... more

Ordinary - not exciting
September 23, 2012The food at Demetre's was plain, tasteless, and rather run of the mill. This is not an exciting place to eat. The decor is tired, dated, and uninviting. I am surprised how fun the parking lot was, however, it is not a place I will be rushing back too. They would do well to up-date the environment!

Good value family restaurant
July 08, 2012Demetre's offers a pretty typical family place menu. It is pleasant and quiet, which is a nice break from the bustle of in-town Stratford. The mature trees provide nice shade, and the interior is done in cloth and wood, rather than vinyl and metal. In cool weather they'll run the fireplace. ...but... you do have to accept that they use... more
