Phifer's is best for lunch, dinner, takeaway, family meals, game-day food, and casual group gatherings rather than breakfast.

Menu Highlights

Buffalo Wings – 10 Pieces about $12.99
Large chicken wings are fried until crisp and finished plain or with hot, mild BBQ, or spicy BBQ sauce. Their crunchy coating, juicy centre, and bold homemade-style sauces make them one of Phifer's defining favourites.

Half Chicken Dinner – about $11
A generous half chicken can be prepared Southern fried or coated in one of the restaurant’s BBQ sauces and served with two sides. Crisp skin, moist meat, and hearty accompaniments make this one of the most popular complete meals.

BBQ Sandwich
Tender chopped pork is tucked into a soft bun and finished with Phifer's tangy barbecue flavour. The balance of juicy meat and distinctive sauce has made it a longtime local favourite.

Pork Chop Dinner – about $12.99
Two pork chops are cooked until savoury and satisfying, then paired with a choice of two Southern sides. The substantial serving makes it an appealing choice for a filling lunch or dinner.

Catfish Dinner – about $11.99
Catfish is fried with a seasoned exterior that turns crisp while the fish stays tender and flaky inside. Its fresh texture and straightforward Southern preparation make it a strong alternative to chicken or barbecue.

Baked Mac & Cheese
Soft pasta and rich, melted cheese create a creamy, comforting side with plenty of homestyle character. It is consistently mentioned among customer favourites and pairs especially well with fried chicken.

Broccoli & Cheese Casserole
Tender broccoli is baked with a creamy cheese mixture for a soft, savoury side with a comforting finish. It stands out among the large selection of traditional vegetables and casseroles offered with dinner plates.
