GT's Beach Bar and Grill Reviews

Great staff and a nice place to get a drink and meal after being on the beach all day.

They had a band playing when I visited and it was pretty packed. The place has a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Tried both the pickerel and the pirch. The pickerel was really tasty, but the pirch was a little dry. The fries tasted like the oil was a little old, but still not bad.

Have never had a bad experience here. A must visit when at Port Stanley beach. Try the fresh perch tacos!

Unbaked nachos - amazing. They do not take debit - cash/credit only. Best spot in the port!

Awesome place right on the beach i would suggest parking by the parking lot beside it near the blue building its free i went with the quesadia also tried Buffalo chicken wrap i would highly recommend the wrap awesome customer service no complaints

Always a great time here. Such awesome and courteous servers!

They did an excellent job with social distancing customers and tables. Good sanitization. Food was great. Service was great !

First time to Port Stanley in awhile.
Not busy,clean,and extremely fast service!!
Nice wait staff,and an excellent banana strawberry daiquiri yum!!

Food was ok. Service was slow. Costs for soft drink refills.

Excellent place to have relaxing time, on the beach. Food and drink both good, served in a relaxing atomosphere. Waitress are efficient and friendly, we go there several times each summer.

Good food and decent beer prices considering its great location, right on the beach! The place to be in Port Stanley.

They have awesome food and are an awesome choice if you are on the beach and want to have dinner. The prices are good

Kept us safe during a tornado warning. We enjoyed our lunch as well. Right on the beach!!

Wife and auntie had the perch very small portions
Disappointing

Location: great. Service: great. Food: great.
Restaurant was right on the beach, our waitress was friendly & efficient.

Food was okay, pretty overpriced in my opinion and the managers seemed rude to the workers. Nice location but definitely need to work on the menu and workers

Great to get out to GT's on the Beach in Port Stanley today! The service on the patio was great and the pickerel dinner was awesome.

Good time with Swagger playing. And Emma is an awesome server

Only reason I m giving the restaurant 1 star is for the lovely view and the extremely boozy drinks. Definitely a lot more alcohol then advertised. Elvisa was our server. She was incredibly rude, when asking about why the fish and chips had skin on the breaded fish she replied, does it look like I work in the kitchen and make the fish ? I don t know. She was slow with her service and her section wasn t even full. Fish was very dry especially for $24 fish. Spinach dip was full of water. If your just having drinks go for it. Food is not worth it!

Generally a fun place but sometimes the food misses the mark. Had a 'Mexican Chicken Salad' that was not very good. The biggest disappointment was the fact that chicken was not real and they used a boiled sliced compressed fake chicken slab similar to the fake chicken used at Subway. Saved a buck but lost a return customer.

Great bar and patio on the beach the food could be better, but what a great location and view.

Good food. Good location. Need something like it near Little Beach.

Great patio overlooking the beach. If only they opened at 10am...

Great food and great service. Even tho the covid was in play the staff was awesome and wanted everyone to be safe.

Very disappointed!
Food was poor...service slow and unfriendly. Will not go back.

Solid drinks and view with a great outdoor atmosphere

Excellent establishment. Covid protocols, including hand sanitizers throughout, clean washrooms and tables and a contract tracing sheet, made dining here comfortable. The location the beach is amazing, the service is attentive and friendly and the kitchen turns out tasty meals. To start, my friend ordered the white wine sangria...I had a sample...hats off to the bartender on that one. As for my drink the only minor quibble is that the iced tea and lemonade were fountain drinks, so I got a tea instead (served in a compostable cup/lid). I ordered the caesar salad main with grilled Lake Erie Pickerel - SOOOO GOOD - it had real bacon and shaved parmesan - very clean, fresh on a hot day. The burger and handcut fries my friend ate was (and looked) delicious. Wonderful experience, my friend and I felt like welcome guests. Next time I'm in Port Stanley with friends, I will definitely take them here!

Food was amazing and the service was fast. Would give 5 stars if not for the fact that all seating is outdoor/under a patio and the evening we were there was a bit chilly! The outdoor seating does however add to the lovely ambiance of being on the beach; literally! GT's also often has live music from local artists which I personally love.

Fantastic spot right on the beach. Great food, great service. Have been there many times and always a pleasure both for business and personal.
Would highly recommend to anyone in Port Stanley, and even companies in London looking to do a company beach day - we have had amazing experiences here for years. Andy & Carol the owners really care about their business and take pride in it.

If you go to port this is a must go too place. It is hands down the best beach bar in southwestern Ontario. The food is top notch and the staff are amazing.

Food was so good!!! The burgers looked amazing even though I had the tuna salad. They had a stack of toys for the kids to play with. Overall amazing experience. I would go again.

This place is awesome last time we were here Kathy was our server she s awesome! And someone paid for our dinner thank you

Good food.. my wooden booth seat was very uncomfortable

Left my CC there on the table, and Meghan (a server) went way above and beyond the call of duty and offered to drop it off for me here in London. Outstanding. That one simple kind gesture will see me coming back again and again! Excellent staff and prompt delivery of food. Cant wait to see you guys next year!

Good food, good service, even on the last day of the year! Thanks!

Huge portion sizes, great band, delicious desserts.

Excellent food , drinks and Friday evening music was awesome. Our service by Nathan was perfect! Attentive, efficient and fun ( and funny!). We will be back.

Weekends you can expect a wait as it gets crazy busy. Nothing like a cold beverage or dining beachside!!

Came with 3 kids and 2 adults. Had to wait a little long just to see a server (server apologized as someone left and they determined new coverage).

Kids menu is great with options (especially with a giant freezie for "dessert"). Daily specials (I had perch and chips special on Thursdays). Food came out quick and hot. Everything was delicious!! Beer was ICE COLD, wife had red wine sangria which was amazing!!

Would have 5 stars if not for initial frustrations with wait time. Definitely great place, great eats and drinks!

Great food and excellent service. A lovely place to eat while watching the waves and volleyball at Port Stanley's beach! 4 stars only because of the high cost of food and longer than average wait time.

GTs is pretty classic.. food is not always incredible but its pretty decent. Cold beers right on the beach in the summer is just lovely. Bottles only here so if you like draft you may want to look elsewhere.

Spending the day in Port Stanley.....stopped in to GT's for a cold one...the beer is icy and the Ahi Tuna wonton crisps are absolutely amazing. ..one of the tastiest apps I have ever had...Judy loved them too!

My fish and rice were cold when I got them. But the menu had many choices and the fish was very good.

I was hoping the waitress would do something for my daughter when I told her it was my daughter's birthday - just a happy birthday would have done it. My daughter was so excited turning 6 that she was telling everyone and she would have loved it. But nothing

Excellent. Good food. Waitress Kaly was exemplary. Great scenery. Great sounds. Great ride home on the bike.

Great place to eat and have drinks. Kids are welcome also and that makes this place soooo much better.
Food and staff are amazing. Portions are good but prices could be better. All in all great experience at the beach and at the eatery

Great perch tacos! They provide blankets on Cold, windy days.

Love it! love it! love it! Best food, price and quantity! Service was amazing and atmosphere couldn't be any better then what they got!

We enjoyed wonderful, tasty food, excellent service, and great atmosphere. The band, Makie, was great too!

It was crowded, their billing machine was down, and there was an event going on and they still managed to nail it. Wonderful service, amazing food and over all a really great time. If you're visiting Port Stanley, visiting GTs should be a must on your to do list!

Terrible service, cold food, expensive prices. Nice view.

Great location on the beach. Wide selection of food and drinks on the menu. Can get really busy some weekends. Lots of fish dishes to choose from.

Never disappointing, great atmosphere, good eats. Have always had a pleasant server.

Good food, great view and an all around nice place to go have a drink and food after a day at the beach.

Great food, great entertainment, great staff.
All of this and a beach as well?!?!
Thumbs up.

wife and I had a couple of beers service was great

Great place for some drinks and food if you're in Port Stanley. A bit on the pricy side but the view is amazing.

Great server, dinner was excellent. Band sounds better right on stage, missing when you sit off to the side.

Great food and the staff are fantastic. Right on the beach by the volleyball nets. Live music in the afternoon on the weekend's. Just sit back and enjoy the summer.

Live music, drinks and Dessert Nachos...need I say more?

Had great service but food was not hot when served. After re-doing one order completely it still was not hot. Our host- server did everything that he could. The kitchen needs to up there game , but they won't see us the rest of this season. Maybe next year! Five stars for are host , 2 1/2 stars for the kitchen.

Great location on the beach, friendly helpful staff, decent food.

Awesome location. Food ok. No beer on tap! Could use some draught beer

GT's is in a great location and has good food. There is a long wait time for service. What you won't see on the menu is that any specials require the purchase of a drink.

Recently ate here with 4 other people. There's one thing we ran into that I have never experienced at a restaurant before and I have eaten at a lot of restaurants. Three of us ordered one of the entrees. Two fish and one chicken. In the description, it listed other items that the meal came with. In my case, fries and vegetable and tartar sauce. Great. Then at the top of that food grouping, it said that you could get sides with the meals. It said that it would come with two 'rowboat' sides or one.....(there were three categories of sides each one with a different nautical name) All three of us understood it as each of the entrees came WITH sides. Nowhere did it say 'substitute with'. So all three of us listed the two sides we wanted to come with our meal. (At this point I thought "finally, a place where you actually get a nice bit of food for the price".)
To our surprise, when our food arrived, we received the 'meat' item with only the two sides we asked for - no fries, no veg. no rice (the items listed under the entrees in the first place). And as well, rice was NOT one of the sides listed under the 'rowboat side' list which further confused us. We questioned the server who explained that the items listed with the entree descriptions were just a suggestion but that they could be replaced with other items. How were we supposed to know this when it did not say that.....anywhere? I also said that it's a bit misleading and that perhaps it should say something about replacing food items somewhere on the menu. I find it hard to believe that this has never happened before. She did end up bringing out two servings of rice to go with my companions meals because they thought their entrees came with that in the first place. **Just be forewarned that if you eat off of this part of the menu, please confirm what you will actually be getting.
The food was good. The battered perch and pickeral were very tasty and the batter was not too heavy or oily. My dining companions who ate the fish tacos said they were good as well.
Overall the food was good and the server was nice. Value wise....my entree of 3 pieces each of perch and pickeral with coleslaw and a small "side" mexican salad was not what I would expect for $22.00. Pickeral is my favourite fish and they were either partial filets or small ones.
I would go back. I would just be a bit more careful about what I ordered.
