Normally we get the food to go but this week we decided to eat in. Restaurant was clean, service was good and food was awesome. We ordered the fish and chips dinner. I love their fish because there isn't a ton of batter, but I can not handle spice of any kind and they put a seasoning on both the fish and fries. The only thing that disappointed me was I ordered my dinner with no spice at all and hubby ordered his with spice. They brought both dinners with no spice "just so we didn't mix anything up" . Not too impressed with that. I don't think it's too tough to do one order with spice and one without but obviously it was a challenge for them. We will continue to eat here whether we take it home or eat there. I have also tried the perogies and they are delicious but their portion sizes are not consistent. I got this once and the order was a good size with about 15 perogies. A few weeks later I ordered them and only got about 8 and hardly any fried onions. Would really love to give them a 5 star review because the food is quite delicious, but with these issues I have to knock it down to 4.

Had lunch there a few weeks ago with a friend. The food was really good and prepared the way we asked, service was reasonably quick and the waitress was very friendly. It was our first time at this restaurant, we had a very enjoyable afternoon.

Loud. So loud that we can hear their noise from over 1.5 km away at 10pm. It happens again, will call the police and the city to get the place shut down !

The food wasn't bad, chicken was microscopic on the salad. They screwed up our reservations even after they told us they were only going to make them 'if it got busy'. Then tried to blame it on me when my friend who had made the reservations got their????‍♀️. The supervisor even sent the bouncer over to threaten me, who has only worked their two days and told me he was just doing what the supervisor told him to do.The supervisor also pours very sloppy tap drinks and they dont seem to use a standard size glass for draft beer. Kinda stinks too and no one makes sure cigarettes smokers stay away from the doors like they legaly should be. (9 meters) The main women bartender also tried taking money out of my friend purse too even tho my friend wanted to pay a bill at the end of the night. It also stank and the floors were sticky.

Had a great time here. The food was good the beer was cold and the service was quick and attentive. Good music in the back room or sports in the bar. Either way it is a good choice for a few hours out and the weekend.

Great place to pop in and see top notch live music. Large patio, bar and show area with a stage and pool tables! The food here is excellent!!!

Carlie

Its a regular small town bar. The service is alway good, the bartenders are willing to make any drink, she even googled it so I could have it. The spinach dip without a doubt is the best in town, nowhere even comes close! The karoke setup is a bit of a buzz kill, she took longer going over the rules than people actual sang songs. But, other than that, its great! Even have pool tables and darts! Would 10/10 recommended this bar!

Patti Riddell

Good food and fun.

Frank Copland

Ryan Baggs

We ordered takeout to try it for the first time (couldn’t dine in cause of covid) and it was soooo good! My picky 7 year old even said he loved everything. There was literally not one bit of our food we didn’t enjoy. We got 2 fish dinners (Light and delicious), pulled pork poutine (you have to try this), onion rings (super similar to a&ws) & chicken wings. Everything was very budget friendly too! Random but we got a lot of their house sauces too which is so nice as you usually have to ask/ pay extra for sauces at other places! Thanks for the great experience, we will definitely be regulars now.

We were sitting on the patio. Twice we had to go inside to order a drink. The second time I went into the bar to order drinks our server was eating french fries with her fingers.We will make sure we never sit in her station agaiin
