Every year, someone new discovers that having a meal at Angie's is like going back home to eat. They find out what thousands have been discovering since 1962 - that Angie's is the place for genuine home-style cooking, good value and a relaxed friendly atmosphere that makes you feel you belong.
For many, breakfast at Angie's is the way to start the day. Students, business people and families make it a habit of joining us for lunch and dinner as well. We have many long-time customers who don't let a week go by without stopping in for a plate of our famous fish and chips, the meal that first made us our reputation.
Angie's truly is a family business. In 1962, Bill and Angie Graham converted the front part of their home into a diner which seated 32. In those days, Snider's Flour Milling Company and Waterloo Manufacturing were located behind the house, where Waterloo Town Square is now located. Two years after starting the business, Bill Graham lost his life in a tragic accident leaving Angie with five children ranging in age from 6 to 16. Angie continued to raise a family and run the business. The business expanded into a living and dining room, kitchen and sun porch of the original home. In 1971, Teresa and Michael purchased the business. The business flourished and Angie's Country Kitchen in St. Agatha was opened in 1976. This building was formerly a hotel called the Traveler's Rest and dates back to 1854. The exterior has been restored and the hand hewn beams with wooden dowels in the banquet room have been preserved to compliment the early Canadian doctor.
Angie passed away November 2, 1997 but the business and her legacy continue as Teresa, Michael and Angie's grandchildren continue to serve hearty country style meals with all the trimmings. The menus have expanded considerably from the early days and offer a wide variety of foods for all tastes making Angie's the place to come back to! Angie's also caters to your special event.
