Northern Wish Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 I just signed papers that will result in my working out of the Grand Bend area for the next little while.I'm going to be doing the drive from Ottawa to Grand Bend and back more than a few times, and wondered if anyone had any cool/ local things to do along that route, nearby or right in Grand Bend?Especially anything I should be seeing/ eating/ doing on the last leg from Cambridge to Grand Bend. Its at about that point I will be seeking distraction...Thanks folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c-towns Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 I would find a Pepi's pizza in KW and eat your face off, get bacon no matter what. Keeping in theme with pizza, the sand dunes around GB look cooler on mushrooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarinGarage Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 I would find a Pepi's pizza in KW and eat your face off, get bacon no matter what. Keeping in theme with pizza, the sand dunes around GB look cooler on mushrooms. Mmmm... I miss Pepi's, and, I agree, bacon is definitely a must!

boiler Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 My tip would be to drive an hour or less North to the bustling hamlet of Point Clark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Then you can stop by for a visit and some pop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weirdness Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Kind of an odd suggestion here but once you get tired of Grand Bend, head North of Grand Bend by 20-30 minutes and spend some time in the chill village of Bayfield. Have a bite and a pint and/or some good Whiskey at The Black Dog while you're there. Spent a good deal of time there in highschool and even though Grand Bend was just up the road we rarely went.Actually, some mini put would be good in Grand Bend come to think of it, I was thinking about turning the backyard into a mini put course on the way home for some strange reason./rant.

Northern Wish Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Thanks! More please......I was hoping for one of those awesome Diners Drive Ins and Dives kind of cafes or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau. Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Pinery Provincial Park. Nice place to chill for the day, or camp. I haven't been to Grand Bend for a couple years, but the main drag usually has a few good spots for food and drinks. Great party weekends when races are going on too.

Mr. Photogeek Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Well if you are looking for places to eat here are a couple...I did a quick Google map search and it looks like you may be going through Stratford. If so check out Boomers Gourmet Fries ( Map).Obviously good fries, but also burgers. And the owner is pretty hilarious. Pretty much just a counter, but definitely a great place. I have a feeling you may already know about most of the Waterloo restaurants, but Ethel's is still a great place for Tex-Mex (plus they have great deals on certain nights - Burgers on Mondays, and super cheap tacos on Tuesdays). Harmony Lunch on King is also a great old school diner (although I haven't been in years).That's about all I have...don't remember much about Grand Bend itself. It's been years and the memory is foggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
