Wood's Snack Bar — Restaurant in Ayer's Cliff

We took three generations of the family here tonight while we are on a nice vacation in Ayer's Cliff (what a beautiful area!). We are not familiar with this part of Canada and decided we wanted to try some thing local and casual. Well, we found the right place! This is a relaxed combo of restaurant and ice cream window and we sat inside and ordered off the menu.

The food was delicious and served with exactly zero fuss or muss. Our food came freshly made to order wrapped in paper or in a box. We had a variety of beef, chicken and veggie burgers which everyone inhaled. The classic poutine was amazing. I want you to read that again. Amazing. The potatoes really stood out at first. There is clearly some special attention being paid to them. For anyone with fry experience at Five Guys, I found them very similarily delicious. They were exceptional in my opinion. The curds and gravy put it over the top and just made for the perfect bite every time. I think my son literally licked the last bit of gravy out of the bowl!

Our waitress was really nice and friendly and made us feel welcome as tourists. We basically spent 10 dollars Canadian per person. That's a great value if you ask me.

Tasty ice creams. The portions are definitely smaller than those you would get in U.S. ice cream parlors, but the Rolo flavor is really creamy and delectable here with the fudge sauce on top of it! It was kind of odd that they did not have the flavors listed with the rest of the food items on the wall outside next to the ordering area, you have to bend over to see inside what the flavors are. Can't comment on food apart from the ice cream as we did not eat lunch there.

Also, keep your eyes open for mosquitoes if you're sitting outside-we had no problems with the flies but they like to circulate around the trash cans near...

We stayed in Ayers Cliff for two weeks and found ourselves coming back to Wood Snack Bar more than once — a pleasant surprise! The food is fresh, clearly made with care, and the prices are very reasonable. What really elevated the experience was the staff: kind, attentive, and genuinely sweet. Their warmth definitely contributed to our positive impression of both the restaurant and the town. A cozy local spot that’s worth a stop...
