Uptown Waterloo's restaurants and bars line King Street around Waterloo Public Square, while University Avenue, Phillip Street and the University Plaza area serve students from both universities. National casual-dining chains are concentrated near Conestoga Mall on King Street North and at The Boardwalk on Ira Needles Boulevard on the western edge of the city.
Each Waterloo deal on DinersDeals shows the days it runs, any time restrictions and the branches that have confirmed participation. Student specials may only run during term, and pricing can differ from Kitchener and Cambridge locations of the same chain.
