Why Ure's Is a Go-To Breakfast and Lunch Spot Near Windsor

Sometimes, choosing where to eat is about more than finding the closest restaurant. You want familiar food prepared with care, generous portions and a relaxed place where you can enjoy the company around the table.

Located in Amherstburg, Ure's Country Kitchen offers a welcoming alternative to crowded city restaurants and familiar chains. The family-run business has served breakfast since 1988 and now welcomes guests for both breakfast and lunch.

For Windsor and Essex County residents, the drive to Ure's can become part of the outing. Whether you visit for a weekday lunch, a leisurely weekend breakfast or a family day with mini golf and ice cream, you will find several reasons to stay awhile.

Home-Style Breakfast Favourites Served with Care

Breakfast is an opportunity to slow down, enjoy a fresh cup of coffee and catch up before the day gets busy. At Ure's, the menu centres on recognizable breakfast favourites rather than passing food trends.

The Ure's breakfast menu includes farm-fresh eggs served with homefries or sliced tomatoes and a choice of toast. Guests can select bacon, ham, sausage or peameal bacon to complete the plate.

Those who arrive with a bigger appetite can choose from hearty combinations such as the Big Breakfast, Triple Play or Double Play. Omelette choices include Western, Veggie Lovers, Farmers, Meat Lover's and Ultimate, along with simpler cheese, mushroom, or ham and cheese options.

If you prefer something sweet from the griddle, choose pancakes, blueberry pancakes or French toast served with warm syrup. A children's breakfast menu offers smaller portions of several favourites, helping families find something suitable for younger appetites.

Breakfast for Early Risers and Late Starters

Ure's currently serves its Country Kitchen menu daily from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., which leaves room for an early breakfast or a more relaxed late-morning meal. Since operating hours can change seasonally, it is a good idea to check the current hours before making the drive.

The unhurried setting makes Ure's a comfortable choice for couples, families, friends and multi-generational groups. There is no need to turn breakfast into a formal occasion. Simply pull up a chair, order a favourite and enjoy time together.

Family-Owned Hospitality Since 1988

The story behind a local restaurant can shape the experience just as much as its menu. Randy and Laurie Ure established the family business on June 15, 1988, starting with a restaurant and convenience store offering food, fuel and scooped ice cream.

Over the years, the property expanded while maintaining its family-run character. In 2020, Ure's added an 18-hole mini golf course, enlarged the restaurant and created an outdoor patio. The store also developed its candy aisle and expanded its selection.

A Comfortable Place to Gather

Some restaurants are designed for a quick transaction. Ure's is the kind of place where a meal can become part of a longer visit. The casual dining room suits an everyday breakfast, a relaxed lunch or a get-together with family members of different ages.

Local guests can return to familiar favourites, while first-time visitors can enjoy a small-town dining experience close to Windsor. The setting is comfortable and unpretentious, keeping the focus on the food and the people sharing it.

More Than a Meal: Family Activities in One Location

One of the biggest advantages of visiting Ure's is that the outing does not have to end when the plates are cleared. The restaurant, mini golf course, Ice Cream Parlour, and Store & Gas are all located on the same property.

Play 18 Holes of Outdoor Mini Golf

After breakfast or lunch, step outside for a round on the Ure's 18-hole mini golf course. The course includes a waterfall, two streams, four ponds, and breaking greens and fairways that add variety to the game.

Mini golf is easy for beginners to try and entertaining for mixed-age groups. It is a fun way to add fresh air, movement and friendly competition to a family outing without driving to another location. Because it is outdoors, course availability is weather dependent.

Choose a Scoop or Homemade Treat

The Ure's Ice Cream Parlour serves 32 flavours from Shaw's Ice Cream and Kawartha Dairy. Pair a favourite scoop with a homemade waffle cone or choose from treats such as homemade butter tarts, chocolate chip cookies and cinnamon-sugar donuts.

Ice cream makes an easy dessert after lunch or a celebratory finish after mini golf. The parlour also serves frozen slushies and iced cappuccinos. Visit the Ice Cream Parlour menu to explore the available choices.

Browse the Candy Aisle or Pick Up Road Essentials

Before heading home, stop inside Ure's Store & Gas. The convenience store stocks drinks, chips, chocolate bars and other essentials, along with a dedicated candy aisle for anyone looking for a sweet addition to the drive.

Drivers can also fill up with gasoline, diesel or dyed diesel. Having food, family activities, convenience items and fuel in one place makes Ure's an especially practical stop during a drive through the county.
