GraveDiggerz' Variety & Restaurant — Restaurant in Ontario

Nestled in the Southeast corner of Chatham-Kent near Exit 117 Exit of Highway 401 is the community of Highgate.

GraveDiggerz’ Restaurant & Variety Store is reminiscent of Molly’s Reach Restaurant featured in the 374 episodes of The Beachcombers. If you’re lucky during the course of your meal, you’ll get the opportunity to converse with a great cast of local characters that frequently drop-by for a cup of coffee, learning about the local history including the discovery of Dinosaur Bones!

Daily Homemade Soup, Chili & Toast and for Dessert Pie à la Mode!

Other local features include: The Mary Webb Venue Centre & Art Gallery, Blacksmith & Tin Shop with Christmas Tree Farm {Open on seasonal weekends, mainly from late November – last weekend before X-Mas}, Highgate Tender Meats Butcher and Highgate’s nostalgic full-size static set, referred to as the Supertest Retro...
