Ohsweken restaurants offer local variety beyond Burger Barn.

The article highlights four Ohsweken restaurants — Skū Náh Café, Greens to Go, Dixieland Grill and Maracle Mans — describing their menus, locations and the community focus of some owners.

I visited several Ohsweken restaurants and spoke with owners while sampling dishes across the community. The article focuses on four local spots and notes nearby craft and market options as part of the local scene. The pieces describe a range of food approaches, including health-focused meals, comfort dishes and Indigenous-influenced fare. Observations come from the author’s visits and conversations with proprietors. Places visited: - Skū Náh Café: A very small spot described as one room with four seats where owner John prepares homemade meals designed with people with diabetes in mind, focusing on low-carb, vegetable- and protein-forward dishes. The article says the café uses traditional Indigenous ingredients such as Manoomin (wild rice), offers frozen meals or catering, and the author tried a Big Wrap and tomato soup. Address listed: 2936 4th Line; website: skunahcafe.ca. - Greens to Go: A takeout spot specializing in healthy to-go options with an extensive menu of wraps, large salads, smoothies and daily specials. The author noted it was busy during the visit and recommended ordering ahead; purchased items included a strawberry-banana smoothie, a Greek chicken wrap and a salad with romaine, apples, walnuts and blueberries. Address listed: 2298 Chiefswood Rd.; Facebook presence noted. - Dixieland Grill: Described as offering comfort and Southern-style dishes such as buttermilk fried chicken, mac and cheese, burgers, steaks and all-day breakfast. The article reports the author tried weekend chicken and dumplings and an Indian taco (fry bread topped with chili and typical accompaniments). Address listed: 700 Chiefswood Rd.; website: dixielandgrill.com. - Maracle Mans: Noted for a broad menu of breakfast items, scones, fried options (including topped poutines and onion rings), sandwiches, burgers and soups. The author mentions frequenting Maracle Mans for freshly made soups and that the restaurant posts well-priced daily specials. Address listed: 1798 Chiefswood Rd.; website: maraclemans.ca. Summary: The four restaurants illustrate a mix of culinary offerings in Ohsweken, from community-minded, health-focused meals to comfort food and Indigenous-influenced dishes.
