Reviews of Bancroft Brew Pub (Coffee Shop)

Alex Westwood

What you expect for a country pub, good pub food and place to knock back a few beers. Seemed popular with the locals which for us out of towners gave us a cool Canadian country experience.

David Vick

Great food and service. Definitely going back when in the area.

Graham Atkinson

Decent selection of locally crafted brews. Had to wait a long time for food order. Was still tasty.

Kaleb Smith

Waited 20-30 mins without anyone coming over to seat us. I understand that it was quite busy, but not once did someone even come over to say "hey, were full right now".

Breanna Mc

Excellent meals with lots of variety, great service and lovely location.

Jayne Chatterton

Large portions, my salad was delish.

Robert Brown

Great food, amazing service. Loved that they serve Coca-Cola products

Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen

Great food, nice staff, good beer. Good location

Brian Nafarrete

Great place to stop by, especially after a long drive. Great food and service

Glen Lewis

They have a Pet Friendly Patio (but only Service Dogs inside) We've eatin' there a bunch times & have never had bad service, or bad food. Gotta Luv it!...

John Murphy

Great wings. Nice and clean .

deborah reynolds

Great service during the day but when I attended in the evening....I waited almost 20 minutes to be served altho it wasn't busy... the waiter cleaned tables and left me sitting unattended...I made my displeasure known and received lame excuses. I was not given any cutlery with my appetiser when the waiter finally took my order.

Sifat Amin

Good food and very nice service

William Fitzpatrick

A nice selection of beers, a bit predictable and could use a Stout or Porter to round out the selection. Food is standard pub grub. A good place for a bite while in Bancroft.

Ethan Harris

Whatever the cooks are doing in the back they're doing it damn f***ing well, best pub food I've had, Philly Cheesesteak is a must try here along with Hillbilly Crackle. 10/10 if I could leave that many stars.

celtjim (celtjim)

Beer and food are both excellent

Jesse Benjamin

Great craft beers, friendly staff, and interesting historical photos on the walls for a free regional history lesson.

jen mchugh

Great spot for meeting friends and taking the kids along. Yummy burgers!

A good stout, some dog treats & a fresh bol of water for my dog, with a nice patio. What else to ask?

Friendly

Jonn Young

Pickle fries!

Yvan Domingue (motoyd5)

(Translated) Excellent! (Original) Excellent!

Good food and service. Brew pub beer was well made, but boring/safe styles.

Place has added an expansion. They now can sell their products to go! Can't wait to pass by again when they open it!

Chris Joseph

Beer, food, and service were great. Atmosphere on a Saturday night was awesome!

Ryan Fevreau

It didn't seemed like there was an manager or owner running the show. The lights were so bright for a Saturday night. Also, during the TML game there was no sound or music. Local beer was good and the waitress a new employee and was nice.

Theresa D

Food is decent, good beer, good service, highly recommend

Game Stuff Plus

Very expensive, but the food is good and the portions are good. You may have to ask for things repeatedly though, but maybe my waiter was just having a bad day. Will update my experience the next time I go. Bonus is the free toy for your kid on the way out.

Rick Erdelac

Good stop on the sleds

Jeff Lohr

Stopped for the beer, and stayed for the food. The food was delicious, and plentiful. No one left the least bit hungry. The staff was very friendly and added to the enjoyment of our visit.

mike stephenson

Nice spot. Only one light IPA on tap and they were out which was disappointing, adding a stronger and more hoppy IPA would be ideal

Eric Parsons

Great food and a good time!

Jeanguy Dinelle

Nice atmosphere, fast and friendly staff and good beer. What more do you need? Lots of seating in side and out side. They have craft beer and lots of others. I would go out of my way to go there again. Great place for a date of to spend time with friends.

Mathieu Larocque

Great beer. A lot of the food on the menu was unavailable for some reason.

Jeff Kindy

Good food good beer

Luca Continanza

tasteless Dry burgers. Expensive. disrespectful service. told the staff it was my wife's birthday (which it was) the reply "Good for her. we don't do anything" almost made me leave . Wouldn't of tipped the server but they force you to.

Lisa Hampel

Amazing food and service!

Aileen Burke

Always love popping to taste their newest craft beer, a must to try.

Debbie Fox

Food was awful. But staff was nice

Melissa McCorriston

Very good service. Stopped in on the way back from a camping trip and got some great food with amazing service.

Jeff Moore

Great place to eat when your in Bancroft. Was driving through Bancroft with my young son and we decided to stop and get something to eat. We ended up going to the Bancroft Brew pub and all I can say is the food was great. They also had a nice selection of beers available. Would definitely recommend this place.

Malcolm McLean

My wife and I had fish&chips here today. Portion size was good, the cole slaw was excellent, the chips reminded me of my young days in Scotland, and I thought the fish was close to perfect, and though my wife prefers a different style of batter, she enjoyed it too. My wife's dessert, carrot-cake cheese cake, was wonderful. Friendly server, prompt service, perhaps a little pricey, but overall a good experience.

Ron Walchalk

After playing golf, this a great place for us to go for a cold beer and to order wings and other good food !

Brandon Hiraeth

Had a great time here with my family. We all enjoyed our meals and I enjoyed tasting all the house beers on a sample tray thing that I can't remember the name of lol. Anyway, our waitress was gregarious and outgoing, we really enjoyed our visit and plan to return.

Mallory MacDonald

Good food, great service. Would definitely go back

Heather M. Blaedow

Quaint little town with friendly people. The food was excellent but I rated 1 less star bcuz I found the prices to be quite high!

John Finlaw

Not bad but not great either. Average menu with the foods you would expect. Full bar, and it's best feature is the outdoor dining area.

Aaron Roberts

Good beef dip.

MARTIN DESJEANS (MART)

Very Nice place and good is good

George Flemming

Good place to drink

Tim Janzen

Great selection of food and drinks and a good atmosphere.

Elizabeth Kingsbury

Fabulous salad & soup! Piping hot coffee too! Service very fast & friendly... Decor was very trendy yet cozy & comfy. Husband’s birthday, so they brought him a surprise piece of birthday cheesecake. Washroom was nice & clean. Parked at side of restaurant... there is outdoor seating here but too cold in October! Loved the ambiance of this little gem ????. Highly Recommend ????

Lowkey 83

Rude staff, poor food, overpriced, definitely would not go back.

Kevin Campbell

First time here very nice dinner was excellent ???? Prices very reasonable

Dan Koehler

A gem in Bancroft. Takeout or eat in, the service is quick and friendly, and the food is awesome! They're doing a great job considering restrictions. Try the Twisted Arnold Palmer!

Kim Belonoha

Great service

Nikki Griffin

Stopped in for lunch. Staff was friendly and attentive, food was very good and the beer was delicious.

Lorrie Ann Reid

We had the fish and chips. AMAZING FISH!! Moist, flaky, the batter was perfect. Highy recommended!!

Ted Shepherd

Great selection of well balanced tasty craft brews. Food is typical pub grub, and the chicken wings are very good.

zoltan urban

Better than the Rock but the food needs to be improved upon big time

Taylor M

Food was delicious and the service was fast. The beer made next door at Bancroft Brewing Co was very good as well. We will be back!

Kris Howson

A good place for some basic pub and bar style food. Good cold beer, bunch of TV's all over the place so if you're going to watch the game or something of sports-related-importance, then you're solid. Foods good, my dad is in a weird love affair with one of the flavours of chicken wings there... the name escapes me, I want to say, like, moose? wings? I don't know. I'm useless. The foods good though, trust me.

Liz Johnson

Delicious food and friendly staff. Highly recommend to try this place out!

Daniel Morton

Hopefully we just caught them on a bad day. Really bad food and flat beer. Fries were good though and the patio is nice. Was there for lunch on August 6th

Max. M. kalin

Nice feeling good service traditional food. Lovely surprise.

Nathaniel Smith

Bancroft Brew Pub is the perfect end to a long day. The staff are 10/10, the food is great, and the beer selection is diverse -- definitely something for everyone on their menu

L Tucker

Nice local pub. Variety of food and drink. They have specials also such as $5 margaritas on certain nights.

Anirban Chowdhury

We got chicken wings and garlic bread for takeout. The bread was great but the wings were a little too salty and didn't taste like they'd been freshly made.

Samantha Gardiner

Great food, great atmosphere, will definitely be back whenever we're in the area again!

Jamie Woudstra

Lots of great reviews about this place. Couldn't wait to check it out. Was a little disappointed. Sat ourselves. After 15 mins of not being acknowledged I went and grabbed 2 menu's. We decided what we wanted to drink and eat then had to ask for a waitress to come. They were understaffed and busy. I ordered medium steak and was cooked well done. My daughter had chicken ceasar wrap which looked good. It was a Sunday night so maybe they didn't figure it was going to be that busy. Waitresses were running around like chickens with their heads cut off.

Michelle Leney

Food was great and the beer selection was good. Recommended!

Mark Berry

Stopped in for lunch on the patio. The staff were hard working and friendly, service was quick and the food and drinks were tasty. Would definitely return!

Elin Sõber-Williams

Pretty standard pub fare, what you would expect

Nikki Gallant

Been there twice now and both times amazing !!!!!

Bruce Shields

Exceptional Beer. Worth a visit, try the Special Edition Cream Ale or the Radler

Alan Beveridge

Good food and craft beer!

VITAVIKI

Food was awful completely dried out frozen calamari completely dried out chicken wings overly fatty ribs and to top it off at exceedingly unfriendly waitress

Dekker Morton

Best pub in Bancroft. Great Local beer on tap from the brewery next door and the food and service is top notch!

Paulina S

Another gem. We have been coming to Bancroft for years. But we never stopped in. Well, this time we did and were we glad?! Food was amazing and the Ceasars fabulous ????. Montreal meat on rye, brukrew chicken(my fave),steak w mashed potatoes and seasonal veg , For starters we had Bruschetta (yum O) and the pulled pork rolls I think. Soo good. If there is a line up, don't be discouraged. So worth the wait.

Matt Brayman

Good food, excellent value for $$

Mirko Zuna

I loved the place where stuff is very friendly and caring

MarsAlpha Api (MARS Alpha)

A great place to eat. A bar area, a regular restaurant and a patio. The are a recommended must for micro brewery fans. Excellent food and great beer.

Dave O'Brien

Amazing food and service! Just look at that burger!

Derek O'Connor

Nice place cozy

Jeremy Pajot

Amazing food

travelswithadiplomat “travels”

Seems to be the main (only) pub eatery in town; place is essentially a sports bar (given the TVs everywhere showing TSN) with local cultural decor adorning a faux-pioneer-esque architecture. Food is OK and suitably inexpensive. What makes it good isn't the food or decor (which isn't top notch) but the people. Very friendly, great sense of community. On a cold Canadian evening a good place to be.

Scott Targett

Great food. Burgers are amazing. Great environmnet

Matdaddy2

Love the renos... Really adds to atmosphere. Good vibes.

Matt Bogner

Great place, good food good beer. Can't go wrong

Donna Macera

The IPA I ordered was flat. The food was mediocre, and I felt ill a few hours after my experience here. The service was friendly and fast, though!

Larran LeGassicke

Always a pleasure to spend time there. Food fantastic and service excellent.

Joshua Kubinec

We had the brew ha ha burgers and they were good. I'm not 100% certain, but I think the patties were made in house. If not, they've sources them from a top notch supplier. I also had the dark ale, which tasted suspiciously like a porter. Anyway, our first visit was a good experience and we'll be back again sometime.

Duckydad M (Jim)

A very nice meal esp liked the onion rings variation. Worth trying the fare!! Craft Beers are excellent. The sampler is unique. Well done.

Will Nut

Great location, great beer, friendly staff. Food was great and a fair price

Mai R

Favourite place in town. Friendly staff and quick services.

Wael Wassef

Great atmosphere and food. Service is wonderful and very friendly

Rebecca Klett

Amazing food and the service with a smile

Aaron Hogan

Great place for a pint

Brian Bancroft (Cartobites)

Passing into town, I though there would be a lot of novelty in eating and having a pint at the Bancroft brewery in Bancroft Ontario. My love and I walked into the entrance, with a plain table for two empty in our line of sight. In the door, there was no visible sign inviting us to seat ourselves, so we stood at the doorway and waited to be invited in. We waited while three different servers asked us to wait in succession with a "someone will be with you shortly" as the table for two sat empty, wanting to be seated. After seven minutes of looking at that table in the entrance foyer, we decided to eat somewhere else.

Frank VANDERZALM

We've been to the Bancroft Brew Pub many times. Without fail, service is friendly. Our visit this time was no different. Our waitress was busy yet bubbly. Sitting around us were many tourists but also some local residents. It gave a nice community feeling. The food was pub style food which hit the spot. There is a dedication theme throughout the photos hung around, namely showing the rich history of that corner of Bancroft and in particular the building itself. Overall rating...you won't be disappointed.

Nicholas Desrochers

Is it possible for Orange juice to taste off? It is here. Is it possible for a pub not to have a large basket of fries on their menu? It is here. Ever in the mood for a sour tasting burger? C'mon down to this place and have a waitress point items out on a menu instead of talking to you like a human!

Art Zombie

My Server Jordan was ripping around doing fantastic work really fast service I got a burger beer and poutine The poutine has a nice rich beef gravy really delicious. Not too heavy on the curds but there was definitely enough. Burger clearly hand pressed, well spiced, and good cheese. Sauted mush was a nice touch Beer also wasn't bad for craft im usually not a fan but fam its hard to find something wrong with this place. 5 stars really glad I stopped

Mickey Nault

The food and beer were both excellent and the cozy pub atmosphere along with prompt friendly service made for a great experience

Tina Cassibo

Great food and service.. Glad we stopped in.

Keith Wilson

Stopped in for a beer on a pretty busy day. Staff was quick to accommodate and get us seated in the bar area. Beers were tasty and cold, exactly what we needed! Ended up getting some appetizers after a few drinks. Also delicious.

Dawn Rozell

Beer was cold and food was hot and tasty.

dave legge

Had a very good time good and service was awesome beer was very good will definitely recommend and go back

Karthik Narayanan

We stopped on our way at Bancroft eatery and all the things we ordered were good. House mango salad dressing was awesome!

Blaine McCormick

Good food, good service!

Derrick Joyce

Ok

Fringo Melly

Not the place to go if you like your beer replaced when its dry, place was not too busy but still had to wait, wings were not done like I asked, I'd go back but just if there were no other options

Stephanie Woodcock

Glad they're open to the public again

stephen Welstead

Poor food quality and service. Server dropped our food on table picked it back up onto plate and giggles. Loud and drab interior . We won't be going back.

julie eden

Fast service and good food!

Jamie Cuir

Enjoyed the service and food!

Lui Sgroi

Wings are old and freezer burnt. The bones were black as opposed to light grey. A sign of bad wings. The taste was awful. Honestly the worst I've ever had. Extremely disappointing.

Morgan

Great friendly pub with good menu upto 9:00pm. After 9pm it's a simple menu

Greg Storring

the best hamburgers ever

Garrett Gilbart

Solid beer, good radler, the sampling was a little rushed, but they have nearly a dozen beers to get through

Steve Noël

Nice place, I recommend it.

Jared Goodman

Good food, great beer.

Joanne M. Brathwaite

Friendly staff, good food and AMAZING burgers. Our waitress (wish I remembered her name; lovely lady with funky glasses) was just the sweetest.

Mary Brown Bowes & Cocks Ltd. Brokerage, Apsley

Always a great experience!

Alex H

Very friendly service, really great craft beer and a very good choice of food! I would come again.

Addison Cooke

The Meals were made wrong, and mixed drinks weren't made to the description. One of the bartenders/waiters were discussing another employee personal information with a customer. Very unprofessional. Our waiter wasnt wearing the proper face coverings

Keith Nunn

Definitely one of the better places in Bancroft. Decent to good local beer and reliable pub food.

Stu Pegg

Not amazing but ok.

D'Arcy Irvine

Extremely snappy and obliging service . I love their Cobb salad, but this time had a burger, which was good too . And their beer is fine!

Michele Gallo

Great atmosphere, great service, great food and beer brewed on site. Great for families and or pup night.

Randy Bo-Bandy

Beer is great, local in house brews, food is well priced and staff is quick and very friendly.

Henry Troup

Good beer, and a good burger and fries. The homemade mushroom soup seemed to be on soup base. Service on patio was good. The flight of beers was marked as to what each was, not everyone does that

Philomena Meffe

Always fun having a meal here. Good food and good service.

Gord Dinsmore

Great food

Doug Maitland

My daughter and I had lunch here on a Sunday and the food was good. I had the Philycheese steak. It could have used a little more cheese. The portions were good sized and the service was good.

Nick Ryeland

Great spot, friendly service good food, great beer selection

treetop 572

Nice place in the middle of town. Good selection of beers made by them. Food was well prepared and service was excellent.

Adam Surinskis

Love this place, food is top notch and the service is always on point!!! Patio is quite noisy with heavy traffic literally right beside you. (Still worth the visit)

D W (Yoesmate)

Nice spot

Sylvia Morten

Love the atmosphere and the food was yummy. Definitely will recommend ????

Evan Chambers

Great service. We called ahead to have 8 people seated. They got is in right away, and the food was brought to our table shortly after ordering. Standard foods (hamburgers, sandwiches, wings, wraps, etc.) Will be eating there again when back in Bancroft.

Scott Montgomery

Food was great, service was underwhelming. They were understaffed on a Wednesday evening which lead to items being missed and taking a signficant amount of time.

Jack Smith

Great wings and nice staff.

Ryan Hobart

Great local beer

Angela Greavette

We wanted to sit outside but the wind was too strong so we sat inside. The tables were set apart. My bean burger was really good. The service was excellent. Great place to go for a meal.

Matthes V

(Translated) Great locally brewed beer and acceptable pub food. Attentive and friendly staff. We'd love to come back. (Original) Tolles, lokal gebrautes Bier und akzeptables Pub- Essen. Aufmerksames und freundliches Personal. Kommen gerne wieder.

Keith Blenkinsop

Great servers.

Daniel Beaney

Great little pub with solid craft beer.

John Milasinovich

The beer was good ...

Thomas Moore (Ankybear101)

Vist often during the summer months. Great food and service

Johanna .S

We got served our food without silverware. When my father asked for some, the bartender told him to "be a man and wait his turn". Unbelievably rude service, will not return.

Kelly Klinck

Great patio and delicious sangria

ADELE MITCHELL

The pub is one of our favourites in town. The staff is always fantastic, the drinks are always flowing and the food is delicious. Definitely stop it!

Mrs. McTavish

Great food.

Charles beaupre

Go to place By: a rockhound player

Pam Lewis

If I could give it a lower rating I would! Terrible service waited to order then waited over an hour and a half and still no food so we left. Too many servers running around like chickens with their heads cut off. All keep saying it was their first day. Ridiculous! Very poor management. Don't waste your time.

Daniel Ferdinand (WingManDan)

A sandwich and a beer. Both very good. Stop here if you are going through Bancroft.

Deborah Anderson

Great food and warm and welcoming staff and atmosphere in our hometown brewpub!

Cam Forbes

Great food, awesome beer and super staff.

Henry VIII

The food is good. Location is great.

Jamie Wallace

Great food, great selection of beers with friendly, prompt service. The patio is without a doubt the best place in Bancroft to hang-out and people watch. Very Enjoyable.

Mark Beardmore

Good food...great beer

Kellie Barry

Patio is dog-friendly! Huge plus in my books. Patio had a couple empty dirty tables, ended up being seated at one of the dirty tables and had to wait for a waitress to come by and clean up. Food is slightly expensive, but it is a tourist area so that makes sense. The salad was delicious, the pretzel bread was slightly burnt. Overall a good experience, but not above and beyond my expectations.

susan reid

One of our fav places to eat in Bancroft

Robert Beeho

Good enough selection of drinks but limited food menu after 9 PM

Dean Lakin

Nothing special

Bryanna Sweet

We go here every year we are on vacation. This restaurant does not disappoint. Food is amazing. Wait staff is excellent. Hands down my favorite patio in Bancroft

Courtney

My coworkers and I came here for dinner, and none were impressed. My Black Bean burger was smothered in cheese, which dripped down and burnt along with the patty. As a side I ordered the cream of mushroom soup and it was extremely oily. My coworker ordered Buffalo chicken poutine, that miraculously came out without any cheese. Another coworker ordered the Bangers n Mash and could hardly eat it. Her mashed potatoes and gravy had to have come from a bag, and the gravy was mostly congealed when the food came out. To be fair, they did cut the price of the poutine in half and didn’t charge us for the Bangers n Mash. What was almost worse than the food was the non-stop chatter coming from the kitchen. During our entire time at the restaurant, we listened to what I would describe as an excessive amount of clapping two stainless steel spatulas together. We also listened to the staff hollering and joking around, and a member of the kitchen staff who was laughing extremely loudly and uncontrollably during almost the entire meal. I was not impressed by the food but I was shocked at the behaviour of the staff. It very much seemed like they were a group of teenagers who do not care about being professional at their job or about the food they are serving to customers. While the comp’d meals were appreciated, we would’ve rather just enjoyed a tasty, quiet dinner.

Gillian McCune

Good pub grub and server was really friendly

Tino Molica

Food and service was excellent

Katelyn Hines

Meh. Beer was not great, nor food, nor service.

Aaron Horton

Amazing! The beer was delicious and the food was excellent! I had their take on a club house and it was fantastic! House fries were on point also! My partner's fish & chips was equally good! Amazing, perfectly crispy, batter. Can't forget the staff who were hustling full steam and still extremely friendly and attentive! Price was very reasonable. I will definitely be dining here again soon!

David McBride (Canadavey)

Great food and service every time we've been! Love the renovations!

Andrew Gordon

Super friendly local place. Great food very accommodating!

Mark

Food was great, but the prices were very high for a pub style restaurant, especially the onion petals - they were great and all, but $14 for what ended up being a tiny basket of them (I half expected a full "Blooming Onion" or something for that price) was just off way base. Our server was excellent and personable.

Troy Dettwiler

About what you would expect from a pub with a large menu. I had the beet salad with salmon and it was well done. The patio is loud due to road traffic and it could be cleaner. The staff are friendly and attentive.

Corry McGibbon

Good food, been a repeat customer when passing through.

Hubert Wojda

Great place on the road ! Local beer is great !

Melodie Lepine

Nice patio. Good service. Food is okay, better than expected for a pub.

Christine Herbst

Try the carrot caramel cheesecake.... Awesome!!!!

François Castilloux

Great food, great service, great crowd.

Geoff Gordon

Food is good, good selection of domestic, imported and brewed on site beers. Always a sociable crowd.

tim wilkinson

Nice food. Great staff. A nice place to stop and have a local brew. If you driving threw well worth your time. Get the JD burger ! Your welcome .

Scott Sheppard

Food was great, the service was fast and friendly and you can definitely find a beer you like. We were in Bancroft for 3 nights and went to this pub every night for dinner

Stewart Ruttan

Food was amazing and so was the service!

Dan Klaassen

Nice pub/restaurant, friendly service. Food was excellent!

Maddison L'Estrange

Not a lot of vegetarian food options and the beer is okay. Great service!

Barry Stringer

Nice place to eat, but a little pricey.

Lisa Binnie

We ordered takeout burgers - delicious! The brewed tea bbq sauce on mine was a tasty addition and the drippings were great on the fries. The onion and tomato toppings were fresh, too. The service was super friendly. What does all this add up to? You should go there!

Mario Pereira

Friendly staff nice food.

John B

Good food great beer good friendly service

Harve Sturgess

Service and food were just OK

Xavier Mendoza

Loved their client service and their ability to recognize when something not coming out well and they rapidly reacted positively without even asking. They forgot to bring one plate in our order, they knew they messed up and they immediately came to say they will make sure they bring it soon but will not be in my bill. This is A+. Deserves my complete respect and full recognition of their good acts. Congrats.

Spencer Osborne

Delicious

Luc Panella

Great beer pub and Awsome food

Nicole Conway

Good service. Nice restaurant. Great tasting food.

Sandra Corbeil

This place was recommended to me and I was told to enjoy the buffalo chicken wrap - it did not disappoint! Good food, the menu has good variety. They have local beer on tap and great staff. If you choose to eat outside it's nice but noisy as it's on a busy street.

James Forde

Oh I've missed you

K LaRoche

Goof food friendly staff, nice clean washrooms

Rob W.

The food was good and quite unique for pub fair. I had the special which was a delicious rib eye flatbread and my wife had the chicken tacos. Of course the beer was delicious. Unfortunately our waitress seemed to be having a bad day and wasn't exactly friendly from the get go. Patio was o.k. but a little noisy because it's next to the highway. The safety protocols for COVID-19 were done well. I'll have to give this place a second chance.

Gord Binnington

Very accomodating and attentive staff. Too hot in to be left in a car, and we noticed dog water bowls outside on the patio so we felt welcome with our dog.

Darryl spence

Food was good, staff was friendly couldn't ask for anything more in snowmobile country.

Carolyn Bean

Great place! Food is great, staff are nice and helpful.

Lindsey Morey

Everytime I go there the food is great and the ambiance is wonderful. the Local Brewery knocks it out of the park everytime. The only struggle is every time we go in there it is like they are under staffed so it takes awhile to get food, or hail a server to ask for something as they are run off their feet.

Richard Warren

Nice pub. Just took a bit of time to get in.

Chris

Good beers from Bancroft brewing, decent food and friendly staff

Lindsay Rous

Either a 3 or 4 star. Solid food and beer.

John Dash

Good Food, Friendly, COLD BEER

Super staff - great menu!

Peter Stevens

Good food in a great setting....would definitely go back and do recommend to anyone looking for a cool place with good food to eat.

William Wilkie

Good beer, good food

Missy Westgate

Omg the pickle fries... will totally be back

Jean Sawaya

Nice pub, good beer, nice patio. Food is ok, but all the other stuff makes up for it.

Kevin Watson

Good food, great local beer and friendly staff make this a great stop for a meal.

Terry Leis

Great food and very reasonable prices! If travelling by Bancroft this is a Terry recommended pick.

Matt

Nice pub. A bit pricey but food was worth it. Has classic pub fare and nice rustic decor inside. Bathrooms were clean and server was very friendly. Would recommend for others who value familiar foods that are better quality then most big box restaurants

sigal almog

Food was great

Michael Morris

Food was tasty, fresh and done well. Service was also good. A pint of beer should not be poured to an inch and a half below the rim of the glass though. It's the cheapest way to make a poor impression.

Dawn Dawson

Had a fantastic lunch here! Made us super comfortable with how closely they are following covid protocols. Had the black bean burger and it was sooooo yummy and the service was excellent. Will def be back.

Genny Hoskin

Not very impressed. Ordered tea & coffee 2 apps and 2 meals. My tea did not not even fill my cup and it took forever to get a pot refill. Had to chase the server for 1 coffee refill. Apps were good but not noteworthy (nachos and artichoke dip). The salmon was dry and burnt like jerkey. The bed of quinoa and vegetables were just gross looking. Over cooked and dull looking brussel sprouts with carrots and pea soup looking sauce. The mac and cheese was okay. The duo sausage looked and tasted like pork sausage and was cut in 4ths like a mom does for their child. $82.00!!!!

Bill Black

Pleasant atmosphere, menu is OK !

Joy Cinq-Mars

Great atmosphere. Had some appetizers that were good. Some nice homemade soups here.

Van Kumar

Very good food along with the ambience

Catherine Whittle

Okay. Service slow and inconsistent. Wings small and greasy.

Ronnie Kosnaski

Great food & service excellent beer.

Michael Tingle

Busy place, trivia pursuit cards, nice touch. Food good and priced right.

Judith Crowell

Loved it! Grest food, great atmosphere! Will definitely go back and try other interesting items on the menu.

Joe Theriault

Service and food was great.

Jesse Black-Allen (Leading Edge English)

Great location, great food. They were obviously understaffed and slow to seat us when we were there last, but server was excellent, super nice.

Rachel LaRocque

Good food, friendly staff, and trivia cards on the table. It could be considered a bit pricy, but I found it worth it. Some of the best fish and chips that I've had.

Bob Mckeown

Great lunch and enjoyed Bancroft craft neer

Daniel Simard

(Translated) Great food, good service and fair price (Original) Bonne bouffe, bon service et prix correct

Cynthia C

Great staff, good food and ambiance. Would recommend! I had the beef dip and sweet potato fries.. the beef was lovely! Tender and juicy and the bun was soft and tasty! The fries were absolutely TO DIE FOR. Huge serving, reasonable prices! Our WindSisters riding group were very happy.. Thank you!!????

Andrew Ryeland

Fantastic atmosphere

John Stubbs

Great craft beer and food is good

Elaine Greaves - Holloway

First time here, service was a bit slow, didn't appear busy, waiter friendly, ordered appetizers, food excellent.

Chrys Bodurka

Not much for a vegetarian / vegan The staff were really accommodating though

charity morren

I always enjoy visiting the pub, especially when my fav waiter is there who knows my drink. The renovations that were made to hit are a hit and miss for me, I love the space, but the bathrooms are not further from the bar and hidden more.

Mike Seckler

Service was quick and food was excellent. Cobb salad and house burger we're great.

Eric Gilmour

Good food, but the patio is on the corner of two very busy roads which can make it a little unpleasant

Alan Heighway

Great service, nice atmosphere. Very accommodating.

Eduardo Andrade

Good place for a stop. Excellent beer. Patio is noisy due to heavy truck traffic.

Bola S

Great service. Very clean restaurant. Great food selection!

Rob Warkentin

Great place, great beer

Don Perry

Very good

jeff Fisher

Server was friendly when she was there.... brought meals way before we finished apps. Burger was dry overcooked and full of fillers or so it tasted. Chicken wings overcooked to the point of barely eatable they were so hard. Will not return, only went there because the Granite was closed for the day.

Mark Hutchinson

I have been here many many time. Great grub the 9nly issue is that the service seems to be hit or miss. I had 2 people yesterday tell us we could have a seat where ever; sat a couple tables from the front entrance and after no one bothering to take out order for 20 minutes we just left.

Michael Wilson

Great food and great people. Sadly watched my Ottawa Senators take a 7-0 beating here at the hands of the Penguins. Go Sens Go!

Natasza O-Feick

This place is Amazing! Went here back in July and still I remember it as though it were yesterday. In following social distance protocols the group of 4 I was with got a table at the edge of the patio. The weather was finicky that day so the possibility of rain was uncertain and we didn't have the Canvas over head, it was just a flimsy umbrella that likely would not save us all from getting wet, if it did rain. Thankfully it did not. Their menu is great with a lot of options and accomodations for those with atypical eating habits (ie. Gluten free/ veg head/ etc). I got the Black Quartz Burger, cool ring to the name eh. This was a made in house black bean burger that was very delicious. I asked for extra mustard, thats my condiment of choice and I was pleasently surprised when they did not bring out French's or the other Quality Choice generic kind. They brought me something I hadn't seen before. From the city, I was definitely happily surprised. Additionally, I ordered a side of the lattice fries. When faced with the choice of fries; shoe string, sweet potatoe, or lattice the choice can be a hard one. I got the special lattice fries because I was feeling extra special. Our sever was a server extraordinaire! They made us laugh, was professional in their demeanour, they were friendly, and simply went above and beyond. The total of my order with a root beer too, came to just over $20, which is a pretty remarkable price. And to top off my experience, they have these old saw wheels on the wall outside. Pretty sure this one was painted. Their indoors looked equally creative and artistic. Definitely a top- notch experience all round. Would 100% return, when given the opportunity.

Micheal Lewis

Good food, decent service

Richard Welsh

Food was good atmosphere was good service was good and they serve the local made craft beer in many different varieties , what's not to like...5 stars!

Michael Mason

Lovely beer, friendly staff.

Keith Woermke

Nice place Great hamburgers.

Adrian Schroeder

Always a good time and good entertainment.

Tara Whelan

Loved the Greek salad

Megan S.

We had high hopes, the staff seemed nice, it was very clean, and a big menu. Unfortunately, the food was ‘meh’. For $12 you can have pulled pork egg rolls, but only 2 and they are small. A plate full of fries was $4, which seemed appropriate. We both had salads, I ordered the ceaser salad, which was also $12. Nice generous portion, but there was SO much of some weird bacon crumble (not fresh) it was gross. When I said something to to waitstaff their answer was, ‘ya, there’s a lot.’ We paid the bill and left. Wouldn’t recommend.

Elena Salgado

Fast and friendly service!

Mike Senior

Stopped here on our way through Bancroft. Nice little pub style eatery. Wings and mini pitcher's on special when we stopped so that's what we had. Food was good, service was great.

Ben Timmons

Good service and delicious beers! Thanks for the great hospitality!!

Erinn Grindlay

Great food and excellent beer. Patio is really nice in the summer!

Earl Liverseed

Great place ofr a beer and a sandwich.

Matt McMurray

Excellent service with good food! Definitely check this place out.

Karen Phillips Curran

A wonderful lunch in a cozy atmosphere.

Dave Lloyd

Had a fantastic lunch and a couple of really good local beers. The service is out of this world, our waitress did everything she could to make lunch for 10 including 4 little ones a great experience.

Christian Labrèche

Good food and awesome beer.

David Sheard

Good food. And service

Simon Ginsberg

Great location, nice beers, good food. Service, very slow. When I got there all the empty tables were dirty. I sat at the cleanest and waited quite a while for someone to clean it. There was a large closed section, but a family of four was seated there rather than someone cleaning the four seat table in the open section. Beer and food took a long time to arrive. The marquee burger was good, though the thick party was uninspiring on its own. If I am in the same area I will go again; the slow service may not be common.

Niels Klauk

Great beer great wings awesome stuff

tyler hill

Great beers and people. Had a few pints on the patio with our dogs. The staff brought them water and were super friendly. Would go back anytime!

Fraser Murley

Good food and friendly staff.

Brittany McDougall

Excellent little pub! Very warm, and welcoming dining room and staff. The wings were delicious, and the vegetarian wrap I ordered was good. The people I was with really enjoyed their beers, and very much reccomend the home brews. Will likely visit again, the next time im in Bancroft.

Bonnie Carrol

Sexiest Bartender in Bancroft

Valerie Conway

Great food, friendly service. Lovely patio with a view on downtown. Awesome pit stop. Thank you guys (and girls ;))!!!

Aidan Sibley

(Translated) Yeah (Original) Ye

Marcin Tandecki

The food was so so. The wings were rather dry, and the fish in the fish and chips had very thick and soggy batter. Also, out of the 4 beers they ran out of one of them, even though the brewery is right next door! Overall it's "fine" but nothing to rave about.

Wayne Ihamaki

Long wait time for rather bland food. Lack of competition will keep it as local favorite however.

Roline Powers

Friendly staff, food fantastic

Rick Murray

Great service,friendly hostess and awesome local brew

Dan Mouck

Great service and food

Christopher Evans

Like the look and layout. Still good food, beers and people.

hikeCANOEcamp

Bancrofts best place to relax enjoy a brew and a great meal.

Graham Cobb

Good food great people

Cassidy C

Worst service and food I've ever had. The waitress was miserable and made it very clear that she was mad that she worked the next day. She also didn't refill our drinks. I ordered a wrap and every piece of lettuce was browned. So ridiculous!!!

Jamie Bradford

Always worth a stop

Jeff Allan

Great place to stop when your in the area.

Homer Brown

The food is great and awesome service

Shawn Stewart

Steak sandwich was very good. Coffee was decent.

Angie Shupe

Very friendly staff

Avin salimi

Sandra LaRocque

Amazing food and friendly service. Even the bathroom has some ambience. Good prices too. Order the steak dinner!

Lupa Bardy (Not so Masterclass)

Great food

Greg Snow

Beer's really good, food is okay.

Paul Cavanagh

Great local bar for a quick bite and lots of beers to sample

Stephen White

Fantastic food! Roz provided fantastic service. The beer was great as well. Bancroft Brewery rocks!

Chris daCosta

Good restaurant with pub like atmosphere. Family friendly.

Maureen Meadus

Had a great lunch. Food was delicious and the server was friendly.

James Christie

Good food, OK service. Pets allowed on patio!!! Patio is nice but at busy intersection. Trucks etc rumble by only a few feet from where you are sitting. Interrupting conversations and otherwise a nice small town ambience. Sign for wi-fi is a wrong. They do not offer wi fi to their guests.

Todd McCullough

Food was so very good from the fish to the vegetarian option. And the black quartz beer washed it down nicely. Hopefully the quality is maintained when we visit again.

Jennifer Foster

Great food!!

Peter Campbell

Great local brews and decent food! New tradition on the way in to the cottage!

Mike P

Great place for a bite to eat on the way home from cottage country! They have a great selection of craft beers brewed in the attached brewery. Prices were on point as well.

Brad Elkins

Good food

Brian Noble

Cold beer and great wings

Aaron Sambey

Delicious beer. Cute location. Staff were honest and helpful.

Christina B

Great place to dine in between long distances. Variety of snacks/ meals, drinks and service with hospitality.

Julia Depaepe

Took forever to get a table, no one acknowledged us when we walked in and three people werr standing there. Took another 7 minuets to get menus! Food was great no issues there but the service was atrocious. Took us about 15 minets from our table being cleared to ask for the bill then another 10 to get the bill.

K Abbott

Thank you for staying and extra minute for us... that's going the extra mile;-) Oh and hubby liked your beer..bonus!!

robert Cichocki

Fun place to grab a bite when driving through

Thomas Herbst

Good Beer and Food

Kara & Kalel Adventures

Great atmosphere and very staff!

Matthieu Payette

I have to say, the most noticeable thing I experienced was how fast the service was. The food came so quickly that I didn’t have time to think to grab a pic of it. On top of that, the food looked delicious and it WAS delicious. Highly recommend the thunder crunch sandwich, and their beers are tasty as well as reasonably priced. When we are back in the are I am sure to come back.

Michael Petric

Fantastic food. Good stop on the way to Minden

Hayden Lindner

there bbq burger is one of the best burgers Ive had in a long time. small place, lovely staff and amazing food, definitley coming here more often, God Bless Paudash Lake.

Kathy pittman

Good food and atmosphere

Eric Hayton

I am NOT a "craft beer" guy! I normally find so-called craft beer pretty terrible. That said I gave one of the Bancroft Brewery IPA's a try at the Bancroft Brew Pub, and went down to the brewery and picked up 3 growlers. I just wish I lived anywhere close so I could get more!

Faye Skerry

Food was nothing special but we had a great server.

Tracie Watson

I went in a week ago Thirsday night. I waited at the door for about 15 minutes til the couple in front of me was seated then went to the bar to order takeout. The guy at the bar completely ignored me for more than 10 minutes so I went home and called. After 10 rings they answered. I ordered a dozen wings. I went to pick them up and waited another 10 minutes. The guy working had time to talk to girls at the door but still completely ignored me. A girl finally brought me my wings. I got home and realized I paid over 17.00 for twice cooked shriveled up wings. I was in for wings once before and they were really good, different people working. This last time I got completely turned off.

Ian Britnell

Excellent food. service on the patio was a little thin .... Tables and chairs still wet a hour after rain... Kitchen was slow

Rachael Thompson

Meh. Food ok. Service not great.

Katelyn “kurtlurn28” F

Service was great, glad a patio is finally opened after covid. A nice selection of beer, very reasonable prices. The wing and pint deal is incredible on Thursdays!

Jason Mc

Food is good but a little expensive!

J Cam

great service and great food

Jane Steeves

Very busy, good food

steve bakos

Good burger...nice summer patio.. pricey for the portion size ...slow service......was told extra mayo for a club house sandwich was an added charge....whats this world coming 2 ?

Jim Adams

This is a lovely pub. Staff was actually helpful with food and beer choices. As it is a pub we stuck to food we felt the kitchen would be good at. Simple, standard fare like burgers and quesadillas. We were right. Burgers are made with fresh, not frozen patties. Fries were crisp and not greasy. The quesadilla was grilled perfectly with small pieces of chicken in it. Both were substantial. This is a Brew Pub and they had several options. The recommended brew was flavourful. Due to COVID we could only eat on the patio. It's a lovely spot with a great view up Hastings Ave and the Eagle Nest park. The only hitch was the volume of loud trucks and motorcyclists. We will go again? Absolutely.

Jo B

Had a great meal here. Only complaint is they deep fry fish in the same oil as the chicken strips... allergies to fish makes that an unfortunate situation. Had steak instead. It was good. There's a great variety of food and drink choices. Perhaps sit away from the fans as they cool the food down not to mention the people sitting under them. All in all it was a great experience.

Brad Baker

There was a low key local babe beside me. Made my experience just great

Len Dusome

The people go out of there way to serve you

Amanda Helderman

Tasty food, great beer, expensive for the area.

A P

Great place for meals and drinks. I've been here over the years and can say that, without a doubt, the changes they've made are great. The food was excellent and there was a good variety on the menu. Nothing too fancy but great tasting. Would suggest pairing the food with one of the beers brewed on the premises.

Barb Sockovie

Food and drinks overpriced. Not bad quality but very small portions.

Valerie D

Amazing friendly service. Highly recommend trying the nachos!

Test acct

Great place to check out if in the area

Deb McLean

The service was slow and the 12 Oz glass of beer was more like 8 Oz. Food was just ok in my book

Joseph Carriere

Food was great every time we have been there. Service is great. The only problem yesterday was none of the sidewalks had been cleared of snow We had to step out of our car with snow over ankles and walk up the the street in snow/slush to the restaurant. Most of the town sidewalks were the same Yet two banks had someone clearing their sidewalks. We are in our 70’s and the snow is a big problem with a mobility issue.

Randy Robbins

Went there for Birthday dinner awesome club sandwich.

Alannah Stone

Really enjoyed the pizza rolls and taco lasagne. (My other half said the wings were nothing to write home about though, so maybe try my choices above instead) Watching other patrons plates go by it looked like the establishment does not skimp on cheese, which is awesome.

lacey seefeld

Great food

bart sim

Forced tipping @ 12.5%, so take this into account when you're paying the bill! Portion sizes shrinking. Will not return.

Kevin Huckell

Good food friendly staff...and good beer

Tristan K

Service was slow told to seat ourselves and waited a while to even be asked for our drink order which by then we were ready to order our food. Not a lot of items on the menu came with sides. When I asked if I could get a side of poutine the waitress was kind of hesitant and said I guess that’s kind of a loophole in our menu right now. I think she said this because the sides were supposed to be add ons for the sandwich’s but when adding a poutine as a side for the wings that’s not the way it was supposed to go? Food tasted all right now. Pretty generic pub food.

Tracey and Jay Flowers

Wing night was the best hopeful it will be back on soon

Dack Blog

Food was very good and service great! My friends who were visiting the area were very impressed and would return.

Leslie Parsons

Good service

Maureen Wright

Great food and service!

Gail Ross

Food was awesome great portions value reasonable decorum pleasant servers busy and a ton of different brew samples

Lisa Pound

Great food awesome ambiance!

Dave Murray

Very tasty food and well priced.

K Dav

Great dynamite burger. Beware how awesome it is. Good service, good food, cold beer. Just needs a little more comfy seats on the patio. And some bancroft brewery swag you can buy from the bar. Other then that it's great. I've returned recently and still love it.

Sue F

Friendly service, good food, good beer!

Robert Farrar

Beer was excellent. Onion petals were way too expensive.

Lynda Hill

Great service. Great food

Amanda Meaney

Great food and craft beer. Very friendly service. When we went there was only outdoor seating. If I go back to Bancroft, I'll definitely come back here.

Corey Klassen

Great beer

torbinnorton4

Good beer

Marc P

Excellent. Fantastic food and atmosphere.

Tamara Wood

Tried to eat here today. Despite more than half a dozen dirty tables that were waiting to be cleared we were told it would be a five minute wait - waitress looked back, clearly overjoyed, when we chose to leave.

Trevor Pollock

Love the waiter

Jim Callaghan

Ordered a flat of 4 different brews. Liked the stout and the 150, but didn't care for the other two...but I'm that way with certain beer. However the 'special' was an open faced ham and swiss sandwich. It came on barely toasted white bread two slices of ham and a slice of cheese. Very disappointed. Should have walked up the street to the Granite instead.

Matthew Elliott

Great atmosphere, wonderful staff, good food and fantastic beer brewed in house as well as a good variety of other beer on tap.

Jake Derby

Delicious food and incredible service. The beer was delicious!!

Dan Serson

great burgers good price

Rosalind Joncas

Once again both the food and service was excellent. Love the burgers! Second visit though when wifi was down

Elizabeth Gill

Fantastic food!

Kallahan Lummiss

Good food. Good beer. Will go back

Brock Sheen

Great beer and a friendly atmosphere. Food was good too!

Joseph Campagnolo

Nostalgic older building, room to sit and relax at tables with a cold drink, craft beer or food from the kitchen

Nathan Koester

Got here later and they only had a late night menu

Barry Fraser

Food is boring predictable pub fare lacking flavor. Don’t order the salmon, not sure what the red sauce it was coated in was supposed to be but it’s was not good. Suggestion for the cook - tour some respectable pubs in Peterborough or the GTA & take notes. Food can be good without being fancy and Bancroft can benefit from more good food.

Mary-Ann Lloyd

Great food and atmosphere

Mike Sutherland

Visited Bancroft this summer and went to the Brew Pub for lunch. We had a fairly large group but the staff were accommodating to seat us. The Patio has great people watching. The food was excellent Pub style food. Burgers, sandwiches etc. The only complaint I have is the truck traffic going through town was excessive.

John Fitchett

On of my favourite pubs

Sandy Cooper

What a gem! Food and service were both outstanding, and the beer was incredibly good. The only complaint is that their full selection of home brews wasn't available due to not enough supply available to meet the required demand. We will most certainly be back!

Dwayne Phillips

Its to expensive

Mike Baker

Nice place, decent pub food and a reasonable beer selection for small town.

Aj

Thoroughly unimpressed.. not only was it overpriced but there was an automatic 12% gratuity charge for pick up, without being told, and then tipped when picking it up on the machine when prompted because we were not aware of the additional charge. The beef dip was literally just beef and bread, dry and tasteless and my partners poutine had little to no curd on it.

Astrid Anker

Good food and beer. Friendly, fast service!

Jenny Carrigan

Service and food is fantastic

Annie J Kell

Great service and excellent food!

Chris vander heyden

I had a buger here one of the best ever

Don Wannamaker

Big improvement to what is was when I grew up out here. This place is very nice, food is amazing, staff is very helpful. They have a lot of tap options and VRock, Rusty Husky and their Claim Jumper IPA were all great. That's as far as I got this time around.

Cody Elliott

Good food. Nice patio out the side. Relaxed environment.

David Compton

This is a great pub in an old hotel. The craft beer is brewed at their own facility next door. Really good! The food is typical roadhouse fare and good. Good atmosphere. The staff are very friendly. Highly recommended.

Susan Maccani

Asked for water and they gave us tap water, which tasted like lead.

Sheila Busch

Great food great beer!

C M N

Super busy. Good beer. Good burger. If I was local, this place would be my usual.

Carl Anderson

Good food, great friendly service with an enjoyable view of the town from the patio.

Ronald T

This place is an awesome little restaurant. Great food and service.

jacqueline rouleau

service was great

Randy Charles

awesome place

Dave Sands

Great place for a beer break in the centre of town. Good selection of their own craft brews on tap. Order a flight to sample some. Nice outdoor patio right on the main drag. Christen was very nice. We'll stop by again.

Patrick Armstrong

Nice place. Service was good. My burger was a little dry. My wife enjoyed her smoked meat sandwich. Will be back again.

Richard Shaver

good food

Wanna go For a rip bud

Gerry T

Awesome food great service big portions nice scenery

Mike

Great Sammys!!!!

Rob Hofstetter

Super busy when we visited. Was raining heavily so many visitors were looking for a dry place to wait it out. The staff is amazing and welcomed everyone with a smile. Beer was cold and reasonably priced We got the wing special. One pound of large wings and a pint of beer $12.00. Amazing. My only problem was that the wings were undercooked, probably because of being so busy but never the less still disappointing.

William Henderson

Great service with a wicked selection of locally made beers.

Mike Lee

One of the best places to eat in town, perfect patio view of downtown! Friendly staff and excellent in house brewed beer!

Cathy Pennaertz

Delicious food and amazing service!!!

Vince Oppedisano

Friendly servers, and very helpful. Food was pleasantly original (house special)

Remi Pulwer

Always good food and local beer. How much better could it be? Awesome place.

Ross Farquhar

Good food ,service was great

Tom O'Brien

Wrap was cold and onions rings tasted like fish?

Mike Callaghan

We arrived shortly after one taken right in and seated got our drinks and ordered and sat while people came after got their food waitress finally said our order didn't go through not impressed

lorna horwood

Great night staff wonderful

MrMcIntyre1220

Great food and fast service! I would recommend stoping by when you are in town and checking this place out.

Celine Legret

Amazing grilled chicken sandwich, probably the best I ever had, the herb mix used made it taste so delicious!

Devon

The food and beer here are pretty good. Good location

Karen Shatford

Good food, good service

Nicole C

The vibe here is so good. And the staff make it such a great experience. Food is amazing ????

Heather Provost

I ordered the half bbq chicken and it was moist and delicious! We had a table for two so the wait wasn't too long. Service was terrific.

Bill Bean

Apps and Wings with a nice spicey Ceasar. All great and a dry ATV ride home.

Paula Uyenaka

Good location. Outdoor seating available. Could be cleaner. Service average. Food average-to-good. Hot beef sandwich skimpy on the beef with mediocre mashed and overcooked veg. Chicken fettuccine was a tasty medium-size portion with 4 nice pieces of garlic bread. Good burger with nice serving of good fries. Thanks Bancroft Brew Pub for hosting our first Covid family meal out together.

Robert Laite

Popular local and accessible

Janice Armstrong

Great beer

Katie Smy

Great food, dinning areas and the staff was very nice and happy to help you .

Phillip Tallman

Fantastic renovation. Food was excellent.

Sam Worthington

Having a food special that "requires" you to buy a beer is discrimination towards non-alcohol drinking guests. Won't be back.

Darlene Jennings

Forgot my salad dressing and fish and chips were soggy

leighann Macdonald

Our meals were amazing!!!

Darren Gibson

Food was good, stout was great!

Jessica Dailey

Fast service and great food!

Al

Had the Philly-Cheese Steak. The bun was fresh and had to be the best P.C.S I have ever had. Yes I would eat there again.

Jamey Dale

Food was fantastic, service was terrible. I understand things go wrong but a server should explain to the customer if something goes amiss and delays things. Also, shouldnt need to go inside and ask for a drink after 45min on the patio

Bradley Gosselin

Sweet spot. Unigue brews. Killer fish and chips. Creamy slaw...yeah. Good covid measures.

David L

Service was good, food was great, beer was cold.

Wout Vervaart

Friendly staff and great beer selection. Even busy on Mondays.

D M

Always have a good time gettin a pint and some food at the pub

Lorna Brownlee

Good beer, good food!

Kevin Reynolds

Great beer, great atmosphere. Food looked delicious. I will try next time.

Alex McLaren

Always have a good time here great staff great people great food

Al Sutherland

Good pub food, prices OK, service was good. Beer was good, but not as good as some of my favourite craft brews.

Michael Garlick

Decent food. Great beer from their own micro brewery!

Al Jenkins

First time I went last summer I walked out due to not being served. On Tuesday at 7, tried the patio. GREAT food. Worse service ever. Server seemed very incompetent. Management to blame..

Mike Howe

Great spot! I tried 8 of their brews and enjoyed them all. We were greeted before we even entered the restaurant... super friendly staff and great food. We will be back!

Doug Lein

Lunch was good

Sean Burgess

Lots of micro brews and the food has dramatically improved over the last few years.

Gail McCormick

Very disappointed. Used to love going here to eat. Service and food both were terrible. Didn't even finish the food. So sorry to see this place going downhill.

Paul Brauen

Great food, noisy environment!

Ernie Silhanek

Friendly staff, excellent food and drinks! We come here often. This time we had the Chef's choice - battered pickerel with sweet potato fries. It was delicious! Covid 19 protocols were in place so we spent the time out on their patio. Always a great place to people watch as well.

Adam Weir

A decent, reliable pub. You likely won't be blown away, but you'll at least leave satisfied.

G Davies

A decent place to eat. Good food. Good beer.

Chris Faulkner

Great Fish and Chips!! Friendly Staff.

james smith

Good service but found very pricey for average food.

Alicia Heath

My husband and I were in the area and thought we would try this place out. The customer service was AMAZING, the food and the prices were very good. Their fries were one of the best i've had very fresh. We got a lot for our money. The Brewery was also awesome the lady behind the counter was very helpful in finding a beer that my husband would enjoy. All in all we HIGHLY recommend going here. I wish Madoc had a good pub like this...*wink,wink*

Clark Ruttle

Great food, great staff= great dinning experience

Barbara R

Another great stop for lunch. The beer and food were really good. The lineup at the restaurant was long, so we went around the corner to the brewery part. Beer was delivered to the table and we place a take away from the restaurant part, which the deliver to the table. Another great system. The food was good and I'd stop again the next time we're in town.

Mike H

Great food. Patio on a busy intersection. Staff is awesome, especially Christine.

Brendan MacNaughton

Great food and great pints

Adam

Tasty beers from the attached brewery and the food is great. Definitely using quality ingredients. A little pricey but you get what you pay for.

Dana Rowe

Great little pub!

Brent Diamond

Very nice bar friendly people .very good staff

Steve Watson

Great food excellent service.

Droidcat

Alright, so my husband and I went there last September during our extended honeymoon tour through Ontario and the fact that I actually took the time and looked up the place ONE YEAR LATER (because I forgot the name and even the town it was in, we were really just passing) simply because my husband will absolutely not shut up about the burger tells something for itself I think. Servers and the place were nice but the food really slayed it for us! To this day my husband still swears this was his favourite burger he had while we were in the country.

Clayton Thorkelson

Popped in on our way through town. Good pub fair and great service for us and the kids.

Mark Priddle

Nice meal en route to Barrie

Terri and Dan Grondin

Awesome little spot, local pints!

Grace Bugg

Pub style menu with their own craft beers. Service was great. A bit of a noisy corner as it's a main intersection.

DAN KENT

Will not be back. Food was good but far too expensive for the portion sizes.

Adam N

Great food great service

Randy

New owners...food sucked when it finally arrived...we were ignored for 15 min upon entry...all pub food now...no good choices for a meal...will never go there again!

francois martel

(Translated) Beautiful place (Original) Belle endroit

Shayla Garland

Got the fig quinoa arugula salad with steak and was so impressed! Large, filling, and super tasty. Great service too :)

Kvolochkov

The food is NOT good. Ordered burger & fries, burger was pink, fries undercooked and over salted. Quasadilla was flavorless.The BBQ chicken on naan was like eating a microwave pizza. Honestly, even the house salad was terrible. Nice staff, atmosphere and clean. But would not recommend.

Kevin Marshall

Great beer! Try the flight. Best chicken burger I've ever had!

Keith Schmitt

Great service and food

Esteban Salda

the beer is to die for!!

Blaine Paisley

Burger was dry and the nachos looked like something you would get at a seedy pool hall.

Rebecca Ware

My mom and I came to the Bancroft Brew Pub for some patio beers and dinner, needless to say we got that plus more! The pub is located on a corner, and when sitting on the patio outside on the weekend, you have entertainment for hours! The chicken wings are BY FAR the best at any pub I’ve been too, even in downtown Toronto! They have lots of salad options for different palates as well. Many of your popular pub options, but made fresh and done right!! The service was good, despite how busy it was. Our waitress was happy and knowledgeable. Thanks for a great couple of hours!!

Mark Smith

Friendly staff and a good beer selection

Tammy Tully

Bancroft is a fantastic place to spend an afternoon. Eagles Nest, what a great place for a hike. After the hike the Bancroft Brew Pub is a must for lunch and a cold bear. ????

Geoff Stoneham

The food was good and the waitress was great - quick service and maintained distancing measures throughout the meal. I'm not in the area often, but I'll come here again.

The food here is unbelievable. The portions are huge. The wings are the best I have ever had....hands down.....it takes a while to get seated...but trust me the food is worth the wait...service was fast too considering the crowd....try the flights...an awesome selection and the presentation is fun...plus they are sooo well priced.....the patio can be noisy as you are are right beside the street and at times big trucks go by....but the view is worth it though...and soon you don't even hear the noise... have fun....

Mike Culkeen

Good beer, good food and good service. Friendly efficient staff.

Sean Wilson

Would have likely been 5/5 if they weren't out of 75% of their beers on tap...

Tim St. Pierre

We waited inside the door for 20 minutes without so much as acknowledgement. Several staff walked past, but not so much as a "be right with you". A lot of cigarette smoke was wafting in while we were there.

Nice spot, attached to brewery . Good beers brewed on site and pretty good menu but very busy. Service was bad as they were noticeably understaffed. Other than that, I would definitely return if I was up cottaging.

My partner and I stopped in for a bite to eat and were impressed. We went in not knowing what to expect but glad we made the stop. We ordered a flight of beer, Caesar, Pulled Pork Egg Rolls, and two Caesar wraps. All were very good. This is a great place to grab a drink and enjoy the day.

Five of the 10 beers they advertised the did not have. When we mentioned this to the owners they seemed more upset at us than at the fact they were out of so many beers.
