Simply OMG Casual Cuisine

Kathy's Meatloaf is the dish that keeps a sprawling menu honest. It is a family recipe — savoury beef under a tomato-sauce topping, plated with potato and vegetables — and it sits on a dinner list that also runs to rack of lamb and filet mignon, which says most of what Simply OMG Casual Cuisine is reaching for. The Sarnia kitchen began life as OMG Poutine, a food truck, and it has never fully left that lane; gourmet poutines still anchor the menu. But the restaurant on Indian Road South has grown well past curds and gravy, into a casual dining room in Mitton Village where a poutine and a New Zealand rack of lamb share the same kitchen.

The poutines are where the original identity survives. Butter Chicken Poutine layers chicken gravy, cheese curds, and house-made butter chicken sauce; the Three Little Pigs Poutine piles on barbecue pulled pork, crumbled Italian sausage, bacon, and garlic peppercorn ranch; the Canadian Classic keeps to house-made gravy and Montreal cheese curds. Around them sits the casual half of the menu — the OMG Cheeseburger on locally sourced beef, a Loaded Waffle BLT, carne asada street tacos with house-made pico de gallo, a chicken tikka flatbread baked under mozzarella. Then the dinner menu turns serious. Surf and turf pairs an eight-ounce filet mignon with jumbo tiger shrimp; the rack of lamb is smoked over apple wood and finished in red wine; chicken piccata, scallop spaghettini, duck leg confit, and Cajun honey butter salmon round out a list few poutine trucks would recognize as their own.
