awesome restaurant along the welland canal by king st on hwy 3 with clyde, harry and I. each of us order something different. see next video for details.

great food. SErvice is slow because it’s packed there at 12 noon!

home made burgers.. delicious.. loved the sweet coleslaw, fries and homemade beef gravy!

directions from USA Canada Peace Bridge, get off at Central Ave head south to Garrison Rd, which turns into Hwy #3, once over welland ship canal’s you will see Sambo’s on  your right. Nice town, with lots of little shops, antiques, clothing etc, in and around this restaurant, limited parking and seating inside.

there’s the welland canal about a 2 min walk, with more parking along the river walkways and trails… canal days is held close to this place every summer
