STIR Kitchen & Beverage

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! What a great new addition to Mississauga. The ambiance is great, service is amazing and food is Succulent! I have tried a few things on their menu and nothing disappoints! The STIR Burger is so awesome, and the Pizza’s are just amazing! STIR is the BEST!

I came here for lunch and tried the Stir Burger. I asked whether there was cheese and our server said there was so I asked him to hold the cheese. They should really indicate that it’s a cheese burger on the menu. Lucky I asked. The burger is served with a grilled steak tip. The piece I got on my burger was like beef jerky. The «steak tip» was inedibly dry. I had to pull it off the burger.
The hand-​cut fries that came with the burger were pretty good.
I would definitely go back and try some other menu items, but probably not the burger again since it was a bit of a letdown.

Service was a bit slow. Took 17 mins before someone took my drink order. Had the Bourbon BBQ Chicken Pizza… There was nothing Bourbon or BBQ about this pizza. More tomato flavour than anything. Not quite impressed for the money I paid. My friends pizza wasn’t even cooked through. Atmosphere was the only thing going for them that night.

Boozehounds beware because you’re about to go for broke when you venture into the doors of the brand new STIR Kitchen & Beverage Co in Mississauga. After years of focusing on beer with West 50 Pourhouse and wine with Ten Restaurant & Wine bar, the fellas at HIP Restaurants have upped their game once again and brought together the best of both worlds and added some cocktail excellence to put themselves over the top.
Before we get all saucy over their drink menu, let’s chat about the actual space. STIR has completely redone the old Croc Bar/​Crocodile Rock, and when I say redone, I mean obliterated all memories of the old places and in its stead released a glorious phoenix from those smoldering ashes. Ok, so I’m feeling a little poetic but realistically in the recent stream of of restaurants going overboard with the reclaimed wood, and exposed fixtures it’s nice to see a spot maintaining a level of class while still inviting in a taste of the currently popular elements.
Back to the booze! Aside from an extensive craft and european beer line up, and a lengthy wine list, there are cocktails. Pages upon glorious pages of carefully crafted cocktails. All the classics make an appearance so I won’t go through them all, it’s up to you to visit and explore it for yourself, but just know — everything is there. One important thing that made me happier than a mouse in a cheese factory was that they offer, not one, but THREE different kinds of Old Fashioneds. BOOM! Take that Mississauga. I went with their classic OF and it was very very good.
The night of my visit was for their grand opening and unfortunately I had to leave before I could try any of the sample bites that were supposed to be going around, but instead I ordered and paid for a menu item to go along with their NY striploin steak steak (served with mash, seasonal veg and a delicious demi glaze). I’m usually not a strip steak fan, I find them tough and usually a poor quality, knowing that I asked for my steak to be on the slightly rare side of medium rare, but it didn’t need it. The steak was tender, perfectly cooked and juicy. My mind might be changed when it comes to strip steaks now, and my wallet might be saved not having to buy more expensive cuts of meat.
A fantastic experience overall provided by old staff faves (a collection of the best from both West50 and Ten) and fresh excited newbies. I’m going to reserve my 5^th star for after I’ve had a chance to explore more of their cocktails, service and food on future visits. Until then…
Eatcrest Out!
Ps — With the patio foot print left by the last restaurant/​bar, expect this to be one of Mississauga’s Top 5 patios in 2016 (remember who said it first)

We went there prior to the Grand opening. Thought the food was really good.
Really wanted to try the Chicken Supreme, but it’s a bit spicy and I am oversensitive about Spicy food, so I had the Salmon which was good, but didn’t think it was superior than other restaurants.
Although I must say that the Calamari was Amazing, definitely my first choice for Calamari right now.
Price was alright for what you get, but I think it was a bit higher than most comparable restaurants.
Staff was very prompt, friendly and courteous.
The ambiance is Beautiful, open, cozy and nice décor. Nice background music too.
Will definitely return and spread the word.
They are owned by the same chain that owns Ten Restaurant, so I think it should be good. Can’t wait to see what the other Unilocalers think.
