I quickly did a search on places to grab a bite when spending the night in Oakville recently and Stoney's came up near the top. I can see why! Listed as a sandwich shop (and I love my carbs) it was actually so much more than that! The interior was beyond cute. Order at the counter and take a seat and someone will bring you your food - the concept was a bit lost on us when we first arrived. Wasn't sure if we should take a seat, wait to be seated, etc. Finally someone came over and explained the procedure to us.
They served beer and wine along with delicious sandwiches, soups, a daily burger special, pizza, and a small handful of entrees. Oh, and don't forget the wonderful desserts. A bit of time went into making our decision - I was starving and everything looked beyond delicious! I settled with the burger of the day - a well seasoned ground chicken burger served with yummy bacon, avocado, cheese and the usual lettuce and tomato. I also ordered a side salad that had the most delicious Champagne vinaigrette on it. I was informed that all of the dressings are made in house and that was very evident in the flavor.
Hubby got the Rosemary Crusted Pork Loin sandwich and declared it was some of the best pork he had ever eaten. Just make sure to grab a napkin because both of the sandwiches were very messy. The highlight of the sandwiches imo is the balsamic reduction smeared on the plate next to my sandwich. They sell the reduction at the counter, it is that good. After we got done eating our sandwiches - which took a while because they are HUGE - we decided we needed just one more look at the pastry display. I couldn't resist and neither could DH. We grabbed two items to go and shared them later that evening. The best of the two was the Lemon Ricotta cup that hubby got (and kindly shared with me). The brownie I got was good but nothing special.
The very best part of our experience was the employees who have obvious pride in the food they serve. Two of the staff were very friendly and we quickly began telling them about our adventures ahead of us. One of the girls was from the Windsor area which got us talking about Detroit and Windsor being neighbors. Friendly conversation to end the evening made the meal all the more better!
I will go out of my way on any future trips to Toronto and beyond just to eat here again!
