This unpretentious spot nestled just outside Verona welcomes you with an inviting calm, punctuated by warm chatter and the gentle hum of a kitchen busy with comfort food that feels like home.
The atmosphere here carries the quiet charm of a countryside diner mingled with touches of local personality—modest frog-themed décor hints at a playful spirit beneath the earnest hospitality. The pace is unhurried, allowing guests to savor moments whether grabbing a hearty breakfast to start the day or lingering over a plate filled with rich, satisfying flavors later on.
Muddy Waters offers more than just a meal; it presents a slice of genuine local character. The menu, diverse yet rooted in classic favorites, invites you to explore everything from homemade meat sauces that bathe comforting pastas to burgers crafted with care and well-loved regional specialties that feel like a warm nod to tradition.

Families, regulars, and visitors alike find themselves at ease, sharing stories or simply enjoying the timeless joy of a well-cooked meal in good company.
Accessibility is also handled with kindness and care, ensuring that every guest can immerse themselves comfortably in the Muddy Waters atmosphere—a place built on inclusivity as much as flavor.

Delicious homemade meat sauce for both the spaghetti and lasagna. Ample portions for the average eater. Friendly and prompt service, frog themed decor. Reuben burger was excellent.

Really enjoyed our first visit to this restaurant that was advertised on the Frontenac County website. Lots of disabled parking, an excellent ramp up to the door, and good seating that could accommodate a mobility walker. The menu was extensive. Prices were reasonable. Service was excellent - friendly and professional. Everyone in the small groups around us seemed to be regulars. I loved the decor - frogs in paintings and wall art and sitting on shelves. There was even a huge carved frog near the parking area. The restaurant is a bright and welcoming space and will definitely get a return visit.

A country gem. This home feel restaurant has quality dishes that wont break your bank. Our hockey team and family visit this establishment often and we are never ever unsatisfied. The servers are always, knowledgeable of the menus and specials, are quick and ACCURATE to take orders and get them out quickly. They are always wonderful with the kids, there is not one bad thing to say about muddy waters, Denise and her team that makes muddys one of our favourite places to eat.

Service was probably one of the best restaurants I have had for service. Very friendly staff and helpful. The CHICKEN WINGS best I have ever had in my life! Had the MUDDY WATERS SAUCE on WINGS is amazing. Taste outstanding!!!! WINGS 5 out of 5!!!!! If I lived close enough I'd be a regular. Highly highly recommend this place. Coleslaw could be a little bit more creamer, but flavor was good. Price was responsible for portion you get. I enjoyed my visit. Atmosphere needs getting use to, but if I kept going over and over again I'd fall in love with it. Thanks keep up great work.

Was on my way to the dump and saw this place. Stopped in after and it was great. Good coffee, good breakfast, had the fresh bologna, which they cut that day. Atmosphere. Excellent. All I can say is I was hooked on Baywatch while eating.

Food was great. The service was a little.slow but it was a busy time! They were very friendly and courteous though and apologetic for the delay. Understandable!

Very impressed with this place. We stopped in off the snowmobile trails for lunch. The place was very busy, but even such, service was quite quick. Food was good and the prices are extremely reasonable! I definitely recommend stopping in here if you’re in the area.

We had eaten here more than once. The food is always good. Never had anything that wasn’t delicious. Service was great. Friendly country style service with a smile. Today was the first time we ate breakfast. Also a great selection of everyone in our group enjoyed the food and commented about the great service.
