There aren’t many restaurants where you’ll see old-timers enjoying their coffee-club seated next to hungry teenagers fueling up before exams, with their parents at the next table chatting about the latest scores. The Boot & Blade is truly a multi-generational meeting and eating place. Hey, when it works, it works for everyone! And everyone is welcome here.

I've eaten here many times since moving to the area and have introduced several friends to it now too.
It's a small little place with a hockey theme. The booths are kind of small and can be a little claustrophobic, but there are tables out in the open area as well.
The food is usually really good. I recommend their nachos. These are not your usual nachos, but are made with cross-cut potatoes with your nacho fixings on top (beef, jalapenos, cheese, olives, peppers). If you're not a big eater, just have this appetizer and you'll be full.
The salads are fresh and there are usually some creative things on the specials board. Soups are good and homemade.
And if you're a hockey fan, you might run into a few of the Owen Sound Attack on occasion too.
My wife and I went to this restaurant and we enjoyed it pretty much. Food was good and service quick.
The atmosphere is cozy. I agree though with one of the persons above about the pop: It was flat.
Took my wife and child for breakfast.
Food was hot, fast and great.
I found the price higher than your normal greasy spoon type place.. but this place has more class.
Nice hometown feel and atmosphere.
Busy place but very attentive staff.
I will be going back.
I recommend you try it once if you are looking for a nice breakfast.
This is our favorite spot in owen sound to eat!
I love the atmosphere as its homey and not too ritzy...Its very casual!
Its always busy and there is always a line up on the weekends for breakfast.
Thanks Boot and Staff for keeping that place rockin!
The food is drool worthy. The atmosphere is cozy. The service is promt. It's child friendly. The prices maybe a bit steep but the food is so good you really don't mind paying for the extra quality. The nachos were huge! Their gravy is to die for. I can go on all day so maybe you should just take my word for it and try it yourself. :D

The portion were very generous and the food was excellent. The fish was just perfect. I really liked the mashed potatoes because you could tell they were made from real potatoes and not from a package. The gravy however, did taste like it was from a package. The cole slaw was really good too. The dessert was practically inhaled so that tells you how good it was. Our waiter was really friendly and quick on his toes. He was flying around the restaurant and seemed to be on top of all his tables. He completely served our table from the order, to serving the food, to the drink refills, which seems to be rare in restaurants these days.
It was really good. The resurant was very busy and the waitress still took care of our every need. They also had a waiter walking around who's sole job appeared to be topping up coffee, which was very nice .
I would have driven past this place if someone had not recommended it to me. From the outside it did not look like much of a restaurant. However, inside, it was a very nice establishment. I went there for Breakfast, had the pancakes and was a great portion for the price. Servers were very attentive and all the dishes had good quantities for the price. Was recommmended to go there for lunch as well, but did not have the time.
