Take a Bite - West Elgin

When you live in a small town it is a challenge to find a restaurant that serves more then hamburgers and pizza. The Mediterranean restaurant is like a breath of fresh air. You do not need to drive to the city to have authentic homemade Lebanese food. The owners are very pleasant and inclusive. All ages from grandkids to grandparents can find something on the menu to their liking. The food is fresh and the specials are a good value. If you are interested in local craft beer, they have a pretty good selection too.

Popped in here on our roadtrip and was happy we did. Friendly owner and staff. Clean restaurant and welcoming. Food was good. Only complaint was we ordered apple and cherry pie. Was expecting a slice, warmed up on a plate. Recieved a small individual pie, cold, in foil still. A little disappointing and...odd. But was still good!!

I highly recommend trying the authentic Lebanese dishes at this restaurant, including excellent hummus and falafel. The menu is very diverse, offering options like barbecue, pizza, and traditional Lebanese cuisine.

Sweet place to go for a wide range of food. Had breakfast and lunch there and were very satisfied with the menu and the owner is sooo friendly. The patio is a great addition to the place. Today there were 3 tables full of Ridgetown people, figure that one out :D We will be back.. One of the things that sets Take A Bite Social Eatery apart is the variety of different foods that they have to offer. In addition to the Lebanese foods, they serve traditional hot dogs, hamburgers, and hand cut fries, as well as deep fried delicacies, fish and chips, homemade pizzas, authentic smoked BBQ and locally made desserts. Amal takes care of Lebanese specialties such as Shawarma, hummus, babaghanouj, pita chips, wrapped grape leaves, mezza and homemade falafel, all made from coveted family recipes, while Jeff operates the smokers. Craft beers from local breweries are a great touch...

This restaurant is a wonderful place to dine. The food was delicious, with my wife enjoying the Shawarma and myself opting for a hamburger, both of which were fantastic. The owners were also very friendly.
