Coal Shed Willie is located in Bluewater Park, it is known for its fish & chips as well as its view. It has one of the prettiest views in the area! Carrie has owned and operated it for the last 8 years. Restaurant business is not new to Carrie, as she has worked in the industry for over 30 years. As much as possible, the food is locally sourced and almost all the food is Homemade on site. Daily they have a special as well as a homemade soup and homemade desserts to choose from. You can Dine In or Take Out, Coal Shed Willie is open for lunch and dinner daily during the summer months, and from September to May they are open Thursday Sunday. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible & is casual family dining at its best. It is worth the drive to Wiarton for the view & the food.more...See more text
After ordering take out previously the last time we tried to order we were told that they were to busy to do take out orders. In that case they shouldnt have a take out menu.
Servers ignored me and my family when we arrived. Finally took our order. But didn't have enough cutlery on the table. And then ignored us durring and after our meal. I would have liked another pop and a drink of water. Had to finally chase them down to even get anything extra. Then snickered at me like I did something wrong.
If you're looking for greasy food, this is the place to go. Most of their menu is deep fried foods and pub grub, very very greasy stuff. The food was okay but the battered mushrooms were swimming in grease. The portion sizes are very big though so you for quantity you get what you pay for, not so much the quality though. For such a great location its a shame that the food isn't better. The service was pretty good, friendly staff... The only down side was the burgers took over half an hour... And since there weren't many people in the restaurant ( two couples who already had their food when we walked in) I wouldn't want to know the wait for when there was a full house... The burgers were pretty decent. Its a good place to get a lot of greasy food, but if your not into that dont go there... Also if you visit, expect to be there a while.
