Everyone enjoyed their meals and the service was really friendly. I had the Mexican Parma which I really enjoyed (and that comment doesn’t come often). We had a table of 19 for a party on a Wednesday night. It was quiet until we arrived. Overall we enjoyed our visit and would return.

We came for Thursday Steak Night! $25 - great value, a healthy side of fries, salad and a beer or wine. The steak was cooked pretty well, although my friends felt theirs was a bit beyond their ordered medium rare. Mine was a good medium. Seasoning on the chips was good and you could choose your own sauce for the steak from about 5-6 different options. Would definitely come back!

We booked a table at 2045H online. We reached there at 2030H and were told that the last order was over! However, after showing my reservation via email to the manager Vinny, he said he would make an exception as the online system was auto- generated and he acknowledged their mistake. The baby back ribs were one of the most delicious! The meat just fell off the bone. The BBQ sauce that went with it was excellent as well. The prosecco paired so well with it too. Thanks Vinny and your team for making my dinner an enjoyable one!

I recently hosted my birthday in the function area connect with the beer garden. This place is fantastic! Vinay the owner, is amazing host and so accommodating. We had a fantastic night and will definitely be using the function area for the next few milestone birthdays we have. The food was also incredible, every person complimented the choice of venue and food. If I could give 10 stars I would!

We can’t help going back to Wayside Inn every second week since we discovered it!! Their specials are such great values - $18 for food and a drink. We have tried mini-ribs (Mondays) and bangers & mash (Saturdays) nights - the ribs are not mini at all :) Other menu items are also very tasty. Our favorites are Moroccan lamb salad and Mexican parma- absolutely delicious!!! Staff are so friendly and helpful, food comes out quick, atmosphere is great, nothing to complain.
