Wendel Clark's Classic Grill & Bar

I had an awful experience at Wendell Clark’s Oshawa location on New Year’s Eve. I made a reservation for 9 PM, specifically confirming that the restaurant was accessible due to my mobility issues and that it was family-friendly, as I planned to bring my children. We arrived 30 minutes early, prepared to wait until our reserved time. However, 9 PM came and went, and we were still standing there waiting for a table. By 9:30, after watching other parties being seated ahead of us, I asked to speak to the manager. Despite explaining the situation, nothing was done to address it, and we left without ever being seated or served. The lack of communication and complete disregard for our reservation was unacceptable. I couldn’t help but feel that my mobility challenges and possibly the colour of my skin contributed to the lack of service, which made the experience even more disheartening. I cannot recommend this restaurant it to anyone who values basic respect, inclusion, and accessibility.

Great food and enjoyed meeting Wendel himself, on our second visit! Fantastic experience meeting him he's so Kind and a down to earth guy! Burgers are great . The fries are killer...Sliders are my favorite !Service can be a bit laggy even when slow but the girls are nice .

I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience at Wendel Clarks restaurant in Oshawa. The menu was fantastic and it's nice knowing there's good variety and something for the whole family. The staff were friendly and service was quick and efficient. I will definitely be returning and recommending to my family and friends. Reasonably priced as well. Can't wait for our next visit there. Great atmosphere.

Service, well no service, had to go get our beer, had to go get our own condiments. Had to flag her down several times. Maybe they are understaffed but that shouldn't be my issue. They should be better prepared for a Saturday dinner time. Half my dinner was hot half cold and dry. Could have done something better with my 100.00 dollars. My office is on the same block and these are the reasons why we never come here for lunch. I won't be back

Excellent food, fun atmosphere, great drinks. Would definitely visit this restaurant again and recommend it for casual fun dinning. Would have been a perfect score if we didn't have to chase down our bill.

For a Canadian, for a Canadian hockey fan especially, there are some obvious reasons to go to Wendel Clark's Classic Grill & Bar. On the walls you'll see pictures of hockey players and hockey action; of course Wendel is featured prominently. They also have food and drink, with interesting selections in both categories. I choose the "Breakaway" Turkey Burger, and, borrowing from the hockey lexicon, it was of championship calibre. The patty was exceptional; juicy and tasty (which is what nudged the final score on food to a "5"). The fries were fine. Due to it being a busy night I was seated at the spacious bar. My server, doing double duty as a Bar Tender was very much up to the task. You don't have to be a sports fan to like Wendel's, the food will do that on its own; but the environment will capture your attention more if you are.

The free parking is a nice touch. The food is hit or miss, the wings were bland and the quality of meat was questionable, the chicken fingers were fine, nothing to write home about but fine. The chicken wrap was really great, the crispy kettle chip coating was awesome and the sauce on the wrap was delicious. The fries were good. The price was standard for pub fare but there is better pub fare to be had close by. The service was good considering the poor girls that were working were running like chickens with their heads cut off, management should look at getting more help. Overall, glad we tried it but probably won’t be back.

Family of four dined last night around 8pm after a full day of lacrosse. Great atmosphere. We had the pleasure to be served by Stephanie. Service was superb- she brought a full pitcher of water (with lemons) for my husband and daughter after hearing that they were parched from the heat of the arena. She was extremely friendly, accommodating, prompt with drinks, and just easy going. Food portions were huge. My kids loved the perogie appetizer (so much so that their kids meals were left uneaten). My husband and I split the chili nachos. So many toppings and a huge portion. Suffice it to say, we left with many take out boxes. I truly hope that Wendel Clark's Head Office acknowledges the exceptional service and food quality. Too often staff only hear about negative reviews. Please, do yourself a favour and complement Stephanie and the kitchen staff! Stephanie was also the only server for the entire evening and she was on point! Looking forward to returning again!
