Great beer choices and a comprehensive large menu. Staff is very pleasant. You can buy beer and take it home too since it's a brewery.
Amazing local business. Most staff are incredible and helpful. Wide selection of in-store brews and, should you dislike one, the staff are more than willing to find you one that fits. Food is even better with multiple selections that are cooked to perfection. Love the burgers but, on days where I'm feeling spontaneous, I have never been disappointed. Love this place!
Fun to get the 4 sample beers to try. Even ask for sample for the bonus or that strange brew you may love or hate....
First time visitor to the Blue Elephant and really enjoyed it. Our waitress Nicki was fantastic in making sure that my friend and I were taken care of. We enjoyed our flight of beers we ordered with a great selection and the food was very good as well. Nicki even went beyond the call of duty by helping me repair not one, but both of my shoes ???? as the soles came off of both of them. Nicki brought out a bottle of gorilla glue to help me glue my soles back on. A bizzar situation to say the least and a good thing I had a second pair of shoes in my truck. Thanks Nicki for all your help as my friend M can't stop laughing about the situation.
Excellente hamburers, craft beer and service
Good food and good beer. The pad Thai was great.
The food is always awesome and I love their beer.
Pleasant surpise. First time there on a friday night. Full house but service was good. Lots of beer to choose from and food was really good. Will go back for sure.
Lovely staff :)
One server was great, we had the other one. Extremely slow service, in fact, a couple came and left because of it. The other server had food on the table before we were even asked for our order. My meal was good, liver and onions. My wife's 'prime rib special' looked and tasted like a can of meat and potatoes stew. The fish and chips looked really good.
Food is good and the craft beers I've tried have been excellent!
Friendly clean inviting with excellent selection.
Great service and good food. Great selection of food from the fish and chips to curry to shepherds pie.
Great atmosphere with a decent selection of beer.
First time there and although its the middle of a crazy time this amazing establishment made my daughter's 13th birthday an amazing one. Can't wait to go back and try some .ore of their amazing beers.
Delicious food!
Great service and great selection of house made beer
Great food, amazing environment, and fantastic selection of beer and other beverages. I look forward to going here again!
Stopped in at this fun brew house and tried an Elephant Truck, a sampling of all 9 craft beers on tap and enjoyed the Thai appetizer for two. Service was fantastic. Well Done!
OMG!! So first time going and to be honest I didn't have high expectations with their mix of foods (English pub fare, pub fare, Thai food). BUT it was amazing!!! I ordered their Thai appetizer for 2, so good because they put all the sauces on the side and let you mix and match as you liked! The cranberry sauce for the coconut shrimp blew my mind, it's definitely not a combination I would have thought would have gone together but thanks for expanding my mind and my taste buds on that one. I enjoyed their Tom Kan soup too however I thought it was a little small for the $5.99 price tag. I also liked that they had craft beers and was sad to be the DD this time because I really wanted to try their peach ale. Especially since I'm not much of beer drinker at all. I'll be going there again
Service was great. Food was average. Beer selection is slightly above average.
Food was great service was very friendly
Rolled in for takeout after a gig.... Was exactly what I needed. Good food! Fine beer selection while we waited. If I'm ever back in town, I'd love to sit in for a meal
Had the trunk flight and it was awesome. Food was okay.
Food was delicious, nice presentation, staff was friendly, fun atmosphere, tasty home brew ????
Great fusion inspired food. Ample bar options including micro brew. Service is friendly but at times under staffed and the wait to be served can be long.
Superb place!! Great atmosphere, real, home cooked food and friendly service. We all really enjoyed the experience!!
Always a good place
Great food. Fish and Chips special on Thursday. Yummy
Amazing food and atmosphere..
Our first time here. Great food. Good service. Loved the beer! Will definitely come back again.
Absolutely charming and unique gastro pub in Simcoe. Loved eating out back, under the trees and strung lights on a breezy summer evening. ????????????
I always receive a good value when I go to the Blue Elephant. The meals are basic but well done and for a good price. I tend to be pretty boring and always order fish and chips and my husband gets a hamburger but he also always orders a local craft beer which he thoroughly enjoys. We are regulars at this restaurant.
Great food and service.
Delicious craft beer, good food and a beautiful back patio!
Love their burgers!!!
Good beer, friendly staff, and tasty food.
Loved it!
Great food. Good service. A bit noisy.
Service was great, food was ok. All of the beer thst our group had was a little flat. Patio is nice.
Very friendly staff and wonderful food!
Nice Thai dishes. Great patios, Cool Beer Collection.
Always a great time!
Love their craft beer and fast and friendly service
Awesome food great service and delicious beer!!
Great staff. Great food.
Had a great experience with my man here, we got the samplers, exceptional.
My parents and I had a good first time visit, the waitress was friendly and knowledgeable about the beer selections. We'll be back for another visit in the future
Great food and service! Really cozy busy place. Loved the atmosphere and I had the fluffiest quiche ever invented. Our server Kim took great care of us!
Really nice patio, and amazing selection of beer!
Do not get the Thai cuisines. Lamb was good.
Good food, good selection of beers, not many vegan options
Our favorite place to go in town, my hubby loves the house brew beer, Everything is always delicious every time we go.
Burger was good. Did not like the fries but that is just me. Others could love them. They were a lot like the Mccains crispy fries with the coating that makes them crispy.
First time visit for take-out. Standard email reply is " your food will be ready in about 30 mins". I always give a little extra time so i don't have to sit around. This time I gave 50 mins as i had to pick up a pizza on the way. I showed up and the food wasn't ready. I paid and tipped 15% as I'm told they're just "bagging it up". After countless people pick up their orders I get mine after waiting an additional 25 minutes. A little honesty goes along way.. Simply say the food hasn't been started yet if this is the case and I'm in most cases happy to wait.. Fortunately the food was good but the experience out weights the positive in this case. Not sure if we will return, at least not in the near future
Good food
Great service, delicious food and amazing in-house brewed beer. Seriously worth visiting when in Simcoe!
Absolutely the best place in town for good food great times and even better brew! Staff / Bartenders are the bomb!
Love Love Love the food.!!!!! My fiance and I were location scouting for our destination wedding venues near here decided to stop by for lunch and dinner the second time we came back into town. The food is good we paid a lot of money but it was soo worth it. You have to try their beers. They even sell it next door. I wish we bought a whole case. My favourite menu item was the Almond salad with camermaalized chicken. My fiance and I wanted to hire them for our wedding because they have a catering menu as well and do cater off site. It also had the best catering menu we saw out of many caterering menus across Ontario. Sadly, we had to fire our wedding venue we booked, and move our wedding closer to my family. We are sad that we won't be eating their tasty food on our wedding night but it won't be the last time we go there. We will probably use them for our bachorlette party or something in the near future. Heather ( the owner) is nothing but amazing about getting back to you and answering all your questions. No this review is not sponsored. I have worked in many professional kitchens and restaurant. I know a good restaurant when I see one. Everything thing from their Front of House Staff service to their food was nothing but excellent!!!! Food came out hot and on time and their presentation was excellent. Check this place out even if you are just passing through simco ON. You won't be sorry!
Quite possibly the worst place I've eaten at in Simcoe.
Yum yum yum
Really good tasting wings. But........I ordered the "Ridiculous" wings and the they were not spicy at all. Great flavor but no heat!
Awesome! Friendly and attentive staff. Got a couple of free samples between my wife and I. We decided that we both really like the Dark & Stormy brew. So we took home a growler of it. We will be back for some food and beer with our friends soon!
Held a large group function here.. served up an excellent buffet for us. Great staff made us feel well looked after!
Regrettably, I had a friend who seemed to love this place. He often suggested that we lunch there. Not once was I able to finish my lunch, so bad was the food. Supposedly the back story is this. She, a local girl, travelled to Thailand and there fell in love with a Thai man. They married, returned to Simcoe and opened the Blue Elephant. She ran the front while he handled the kitchen. When the marriage failed and he departed, the kitchen went to hell in a handbasket. I don't know how much of this is true, except that to this day the food is terrible. But the beer is okay, thus the two star rating.
Amazing food and service as always
Very nice pub. Good food. Beef pot pie not too salty. Delicious fried. Very good beers.
Excellent craft brews and tasty pub food with friendly service.
Food is reasonably priced but mediocre at best. I had bangers & mash and I must admit, I've had better. Presentation isn't spectacular but that doesn't break the deal for me. I'd go back again & try another dish before I'd give higher review. It could have been an "off" day in the kitchen.
Best pad thai I've ever had, great atmosphere and great choice of drinks. A little gem of that region
Popped in just before closing and had a awesome drink (blue Hawaiian) and a side of nachos. Fantastic staff and enjoy the decor.
This is a full on brew pub with the stainless steel tanks and all. A bit of a surprise for the size of the town. Anyway had the fish and chips (pickerel); 5 out of 5. GF had tenderloin pot pie said it was exceptional. Being from TO we compare it to the Roy in Leslieville and the place surpassed on both meal counts. Wait staff also very good / professional. Will definitely stop in again when down this way. Hint: recommend the beer flight to sample most of their beers. Settled on the Pilsener PS a 5 star rating is rare for me.
Found a wallet
I've been an avid patron of Blue Elephant for their craft beer until today. In the past an issue has never come up about their growler costs but today I discovered that when you buy a growler of beer, the extra cost of the growlers is not a deposit. I had purchased 5 growlers of beer back around Christmas, assuming I could return them for deposit cost later (estimated around an extra $25). Today I brought them in to return for deposit credit and to go back down to having one growler to trade. I was informed that I could only trade for trade and could not get credit for returning growlers. Every single other craft beer brewery I've went to has given growlers as a deposit that can be redeemed if desired. I don't know what I'm supposed to do with 4 extra growlers as I'm not about to ever have a need of 5 growlers of beer at any given time not to mention the cost (and if I had been informed of this, I likely would have gotten a keg instead), so they're in the recycling as I have no desire to keep any as souvenirs like I do with others. The beer is great but given the service I received today, I will not be returning in the future. It's not worth the drive from Cambridge.
Yummy food, good people, average prices.
Second time here. Food was decent. Soup was great. Beer was pricy and only 16oz glasses. Service lacked the warmth I would expect in a small town. Probably more of a local.
Excellent all around
The food was great, I had the gourmet burger with guacamole. The beer was terrible, full of diacetyl, caused either by impatient brewers or more likely dirty serving lines, I tried more than 1 style all had the same problem. Clean your lines Dammit!!!!!!!
Good food. Friendly and attentive service. I recommend the salmon!!! Yum! Husband had fajitas and very filling.
Great menu and atmosphere
Great wings, great beer and excellent service.
Beer is fantastic. Food quality has declined over the last year or so
Best wings in town claim seems legit
We came based on the Google reviews and were unpleasantly surprised. There was nothing terribly wrong with the food, but also nothing right. The big soft pretzel we had as an app was clearly microwaved - but not for long enough that it wasn't cold in the centre. The beer/cheese dip was pretty good, but the marinara had been microwaved within an inch of its life (as could be seen from the microwave spatters all over the top of the ramekin). The burger came with a huge pile of peameal, but with a lack of sauce, it was dry. The pesto and tomato grilled cheese had good flavours, but since it was grilled with no butter on the outside, it too was dry, dry, dry. The fries were the ones you get from Burger King, from frozen with the added crust on the outside. Gross. On the plus side, service was great. I tend to find microbrew pubs put the same care, thought and from scratch attitude into their food as they do their brews. This is definitely not the case here.
Stopped in with my family, party of 6....it was just okay. I had heard great things about this place in the past and we were disappointed with the food overall. On a positive note... the Caesars were dy-no-mite!! I'd go back for drinks
Okay
Fantastic service!
I've eaten and enjoyed the house made beer at the Blue Elephant many times! I'm always pleased with the food, the service, down home environment and exceptional beer selection. This is a Norfolk County classic and highly recommended.
I had the daily quiche with fries So delicious. The fries were the best. Crispy, golden and just what you'd loved frie to taste like.
Excellent evening on the rear patio with friends! Tasty coconut shrimp and a nice pasta!
Burger was good! Pad tai not so much, sauce tasted more like salty stir fry. Was really hoping to be blown away by the beer but I found them to be a quite underwhelming flavour wise. I tried the tasting flight, IPA wasn't even slightly hoppy. Service was good.
I really think this place could freshen themselves up... not too long ago, it was THE PLACE TO GO in the evening after a long work week...
So fine!! Yum
The best atmosphere
the food is quite nice but it takes a while to arrive
Cool atmosphere. Good food.
Went there on Saturday December 9,2017 There was 6 in our party. Everyone was very helpful. Food was great. It's always hard to please 6 different people and they did that. No complaints. This will not be our last time here!
Great food!
We love the low key environment and the variety in food and beer options
Great green chili
Order the full tasting flight. Cool presentation. Food and beer were tasty.
Very good food. Amazing service.
Good food
Awesome place. Wings are so good! Very "down home" feeling.
The service was excellent with tips on beverage and food selections, which both turning out awesome. Their own craft beers are delicious!
Previously worked in the kitchen about 4 years ago! Great friendly staff, and if you're in the mood for a great wing special, check out Tuesday evenings! Brewery has a limited selection of house beers, some of which are quite flavorful, others seem watery with dull sensations to tye pallet. Overall, would recommend this as a good place to eat
Amazing service tonight! Their beers were wonderful.
Nice vegan options
Terrible food. Strange menu. Half Bar Food and Burgers. Half Thai
Great food great service
Service was pleasant, food was delicious!!
Very nice open atmosphere (mostly a sports bar with a separated front area for more intimate dining). Washroom was clean. Ordered Greek salad with chicken. Everything was fresh but the iceberg portions in the salad could have been been pre-cut into smaller pieces. Was not expecting so much iceberg lettuce (65 %) considering a Greek salad should be predominantly Romaine. The chicken looked like it was a day old and it was slightly, but not completely dry. Had I ordered just the Greek salad it was $12+tax. They charged $6 to add a piece of chicken breast. Salad was overall tasty. Would go again to try something else.
Awesome atmosphere, good food, excellent service. Shall surely go back!
Food & service are 5 star!
It's a good place, has a nice ambience, the penne I had this time was not that great.
Good wings. Beer lines could be cleaned more often
Baked brie was amazing!
A Philly does not go on a dinner roll and since you want to block my comment from your Facebook page you can have it here. It looks more like a baked potato and clearly an embarrassment. As a chef I would never serve such garbage. Server never came to check. I paid for it and ate it anyway and won’t be back. Shameful you charge $15 for a dinner roll with a small serving of meat and cheese on it.
Interesting menu with a mix of standard restaurant items and also an interesting assortment of Asian dishes. Everything we have tasted has tasted great. Service is good. It is a brew pub but the beer I have had has only been okay.
Great food!
Never a dull moment here! Excellent staff and food. The beer flight is my personal favourite.
Great beer selection of in house made brews. Good was quite good. Will return here for sure.
The waitresses were amazing, very nice, and outgoing. The food and drinks were great! Definitely going to go there again and recommend it :)
Great wings and craft beers
Nice little pub in the downtown. Service was excellent. They had their own local beer.
Great food and drinks
Good food good service good selection of brews but also have a full bar.
Great food. Good craft beers. Can be expensive though.
Burgers are really good, love the local ingredients, switching to fresh cut fries from the mediocre frozen bagged fries would really up thier game.
Very close to the Comfort Inn where we were staying which made it very convenient.
Beer was decent - Gentleman's Pilsener - but the spent grain pizza was pretty bad - unmelted cheese with uncooked ingredients on top - definitely not worth 18 bucks. The Thai platter for two was similarly disappointing.
Great food but the server messed up my order.
Amazing food! Great variety, fair prices and so yummy! Only downfalls are not a lot of parking, and the tables are very close together so don't expect a lot of privacy.
Loved our waitress she was so funny and entertaining, we didn't catch her name, but it made the visit and meal enjoyable! Love the setting both indoor and outdoor.
Great experience, awesome fresh food
Food was great, the service was a little slow however
Good food, selection and excellent craft beer choices
Beer was great! Service was awesome! Burgers were dry and pad Thai was not too traditional.
Definitely order the full trunk flight, you won't be disappointed. Great experience, good wait staff. Thumbs ☝
Eclectic brewpub that looks like they had visions of franchising, but the phones never lit up. Empty beer bottles on shelves everywhere. Odd dining space, dated and discombobulated. Could do with a refresh. Lovely building and front garden though. Apparently the strawberry lager is award winning, but the pint I got was flat and sour. Did not expect Friuli, but this was a disappointing draught. Grilled cheese w peameal was overly dry and cheese nowhere near melted thoroughly. Fries were pedestrian.
Always a wonderful atmosphere and delicious food. Great rotational beers. My favourite is the angry elephant burger (I've had it with a beef burger once then with chicken next - both amazing). Staff is always friendly even on takeout and I can't wait for lockdown to end so I can sit out on the patio.
Too expensive. Food did not meet expectation by price
Their system glitched and we paid the price. They didn't receive a portion of our order and when we called to ask about the missing items, we were called liars and that we didn't order what we claimed was missing. We had to bring proof of our order back to the restaurant before they would fix it. So, by the time we got our entire order, most of it was cold by the time we were able to eat it. So, if you want to be called a liar and have to jump through hoops to get your food, feel free to order from Blue Elephant.
I asked for liver and onions in a certain way. When it came it had to be the most tender liver that I have ever had. And believe me I eat a lot of liver and onions.
Went for my birthday, staff was very cheerful and welcoming, food was great as well. I'd totally go back!
Service is always great! Food is local and fresh
Great food!
What a fantastic restaurant. The best food I've ever eaten. Totally awesome.
First off, The atmosphere was very cozy and the service was fantastic. There was a large variety on the menu, including options for people with dietary restrictions. I got the greek wrap with a side garden salad, It was fantastic! The wrap was so large, I took the other half home with me. I am from out of town, but If I happen to find myself in the Simcoe area, I would definitely return.
Very good service, best Caesars ever but food not that great
Good food great folks
Love this place ! The server was sooo sweet, they took social distancing seriously and the food was amazing (Spinach dip & bruschetta ) - we would definitely go back!
Exceptional food. Friendly service.
Very good good and beer! Tried the chocolate milk Stout and was not disappointed. Staff was very friendly too. Great overall!
It was nice to sit on the patio during the heatwave and the service was excellent (hence the 2 stars) but the food surpassed my worst expectations - it was not good. Everything seemed un-fresh and the fries were limp - even frozen bag fries, cooked in the oven, would have been better. Sorry because this is a local place and I'd rather support local but in this time period when money is generally tight, I just can't with this. If I'm going to be spending $70 on a meal, I want it to be fresh and tasty. We went to BP a few days before and their food was surprisingly better even though they're a chain. if you watch Kitchen Nightmares, it has excellent advice - cut down on the menu items and make sure all items are freshly prepared, not from frozen. People will go there. Look at the Combine/Lago for an example!
Fantastic place, cool factor is huge!
Great find! Cute outside pub, good service, and they change up their craft beer selections, frequently,, so always something new to try. I recommend the dark beers!
Nice patio, great menu
Excellent food. Friendly servers. Reasonable price for the large amount you get. It's not fast food, be patient, it's worth the wait.
It was a little noisy but staff was polite and service was great. The prices are great the so is the food.
Food was okay. Pretty good beer selection and a pretty neat section by the bathrooms were they display foreign money and a map of where all of their tourists are visiting from!
Never disappointed when I eat here. Great food and service.
We love it! All of it! Super friendly staff, incredible food and beer! Try the mushroom beef soup! We had such a great time and we will be back when we go to Simcoe again! Most important!!! They support local business! All the ingredients they use are local and they give information to you where to find them! We love it!!!
Took the wait staff 15 min to bring us a menu. Food was okay. Poor service.
Excellent pub grub and Thai dishes, as well as tasty craft beer made on site.
Our waitress Kim was awesome. We were a bunch of ladies out to celebrate a birthday and it felt like she was part of our group. Oh and the food was AMAZING too!!!
We go there often and enjoy the craft beer and the food. The outside patio is a quaint place to enjoy with someone. Very relaxing atmosphere and very friendly service. If you go then the one recommendation is to try the Thai egg rolls with sweet chili dipping sauce. So stinking good! They are addicting.
We come here for Christmas with our residents from the court at Rushdale in Hamilton every year for the last 4 years and it's always amazing Great food and great server's
Love it can’t say enough great place great food great atmosphere great food great staff great service great prices great wine great food
Stopped in for 45 minutes with a large party in between a wedding. Great food, and amazing service, especially considering the size of our party and the fact we didn't call ahead! Definitely recommended!
Great food, great beer, and awesome people working here!
This is the Hubs & I fav spot in town. Everything is great from the drinks to the food and the staff. We recommend the Pad Thai - its delicious!
Good selection of craft beer to enjoy both indoors or outside on the patio.
Nice restaurant... good craft bier
The waitress and the environment was great. The steak wasn't good at all, go for the chicken fingers and fries. There was a lot of out of hand drunk people that made our group uncomfortable.
Food was excellent, the beer acceptable. Service was quite slow, but fortunately we weren't in a hurry. Extremely friendly staff.
Great food. Unbeatable value. Kind and thoughtful service from Kelsey. We'll be back!
This was my wife and I first time here and loved the place. Great food and awesome staff that cater the what you want. Being able to buy the beer you had for dinner to take home is a very big plus.
Great beer. Always good food.
Great food great staff, prices aren't to bad either
Love this place. The food is great and so is the staff
I'd say that restaurant is more appropriate as it's more about food than the beer here, although there's about 10 beers they make in giuse. The food menu is quite large! I was speaking to the server about the 5 beers I saw on the menu, but it turned out they have at least 10 house brews but the server didn't think to bring us the beer menu. The food was ok. Not bad, but nothing revolutionary. They're very accommodating to kids, so no worries about coming here with kids at any age.
Good service and great food.
The Blue Elephant is my go to spot in Simcoe, ON. Top notch
Food was excellent. A worthy drive to simcoe there ipa's assortment are worthy of a tasting.
Nachos are tasty but found wings overcooked :(
Always a pleasure coming here! Great staff, great food, great beer!
Loved the food, the beer and the patio.
Great spot. Nice atmosphere, and good beer
Always delicious!
Really nice fish and chips.
Had a flight if their house beers and a burger. The burger was really well cooked and seasoned. So nice to have a restaurant burger that isn't grilled into oblivion. The beer on the other hand was not very good at all. All sorts of off flavours and the "IPA" had next to no hop flavour. They need to work on their brewing process.
Terrific atmosphere, staff and food! Can't ask for a better dining experience.
Good service. Soup was delicious. Fettuccini was not good. Rate food mediocre for the price.
Loved the gourmet grilled cheese with mac n' cheese!
Delicious food, great beer selection & speedy service.
Just loved their steak burger and it's very reasonable price too... Thanks
The Blue Elephant is our go to for a bite and a pint! Great local (brewed onsite) beers and the food is fresh and delicious. They have everything from traditional pub grub ( burgers, wings, fish and chips) to more adventurous options like curries! We haven't had anything that we haven't liked. We will continue coming back!
Fantastic beer and food!
Excellent food, great service, and barely waited at all for our food. We will definitely be going here again
Nice facility. Friendly staff and the grilled cheese with peameal bacon was excellent. All enjoyed while consuming a tasty IPA.
Good people, good food, great place and casual environment.
Great patio and food
Good food, craft beers, friendly service.
Great local beer
Gotta love the Bundy wings and Gentleman's Pilsner.
I got to say this place has good food and beer but the service is not the best. Today we have great service as Lee was very attentive. Need to hire more attentive workers. Thx Lee
First visit, had really good food and local beer. Service was exemplary. Wired layout though. Worked fine
Service, food, and beer were all excellent. All of the beers I've tried that are brewed in house were fantastic.
We have never been disappointed with eating in or taking out!! Everything comes cooked to perfection and is so flavourful! Make sure you are hungry as there is a large variety of delicious options to choose from!
AMAZING food (with great variety), GREAT service and hospitality, and VERY reasonable prices. Also they have a phenomenal selection of beer brewed locally or by themselves. (I got the beer flight and recommend it). Would definitely visit again if I'm in the area. (Was visiting from Toronto, went here for dinner after checking out the Christmas Panorama).
Nice surroundings, fun sampler of 4 brews, good food from a large selection, and great service from Emma.
Nice patio, lovely staff and good food. Would definitely go back.
Sign asking to seat yourself. Sat for over 30 minutes with no service. Deserves a zero star
Nice place good food friendly staff great beer.
Atmosphere in outside back patio was great. Decent food. I ordered the steak and it was incredibly salty. I'd stick to the apps.
I came here for craft beer felt more like a local bar wasn't what I expected.
excited to try this place since we own a very successful cafe in the area. When we arrived to the restaurant it was empty other then the group of eight elderly people to our right which smelled like moffballs and raw onions....We had our 3 year old daughter with us and they turned down and told to go sit at the bar. This place sucks don't waste your time. Not child friendly Ugly decor Rude staff We also also called back five minutes to see if they had availability and they said they where wide open. Not a smart move they discriminated on a little person and royally pissed my wife off who is a successful doctor in the area! Not smart!
Great food
Our server was so awesome, helpful, knowledgeable, fun. Great meal, great drinks
Great food
Visited this restaurant yesterday for lunch. Masks required even to walk through the bar to get to the patio (I'm OK with that!) Nice and clean. Pleasant and attentive server. Good artisan beer, plenty of selection. We'll return for sure :)
Amazing food and the beer is unreal. Everything that they brew in house is phenomenal. I've toured breweries all around Ontario and this little place just blew my mind. Highly recommend.
Always good
fish and chips were very over cooked my wife jad pai thai and it was amazing... stick with the thai food
Restaurant was cold. Food was cold. Staff was cold. beer was warm?
Delicious beer, cool patio atmosphere. The food tasted a little pre packaged.
Great service, awesome food and I will be returning
The food for the most part was premade and frozen...nothing original here
Service was so slow we considered leaving. Food is ok. More of a bar than a restaurant when we went.
Good food and friendly staff. Forgot my cell phone so I had to visit twice in 2 days, both good experiences.
Interesting microbrews, good prices. Have only had the nachos so far, but they have a huge menu.
Love this place - the ambiance is unique. Staff is very friendly and food was delicious definately a MUST SEE if you are in the area.
Great service and food
AMAZING!!!! Great food! Amazing staff and they make their own beer which is to die for. Yummm ????????????????????????????????????????
Always stop here if we are in the area. Great lunch spot.
Always a good time!
Great food, service and atmosphere! Visit everytime I am in town!
Food came out hot and was very tasty. Not like your pre frozen big box food chains. Home brewed beer was Also nice and smooth and rich in flavor. Place was busy, which should tell you something. Many options for Vegitarians.
Thrill
Good food, reasonable prices, exceptional craft beer. Want to impress friends or date on a budget? This is the place service and food always consistent great atmosphere.
Service was great as was the food. I had a simple ceasar salad with grilled chicken and my husband had the Thai fried rice (hot) and his was wonderful. My salad was good as well.
Good beer, ok food
Good Belgian Wheat beer. Chocolate Stout beer was terrific. Poutine was tasty though a little more cheese would have been nice. Nachos were quite generous.
Great service great food ????????
Great service
They have a strawberry beer that's really good, I've had a great meal or 2 There, my last trip there I ordered there clubhouse and onion rings. The onions were uncooked and the club was very skimpy. Trying to get the waitress to even look at us wasn't working. We ended up running out of time and had to leave without being able to try another brew... disappointing for the elephant
Love the Dark & Stormy black lager!
Great food awesome atmosphere an lovely waitresses ????
First time there. Service was awesome. Blue elephant beer flight was not a let down. I liked them all and that rarely happens! The food was great. The poutine (veggie gravy thanks!!) was out of this world and the ridiculous wings lived up to their name. Thanks for the great experience!
Excellant service we had a great fun waiter
Wonderful food, friendly staff and a great atmosphere!
Always a pleasure, check it out if you've never been
Great food
It's a great place to be. Food is excellent and so is the service. Even has gluten free food?????
Food was definately not at good as it was ...
Good atmosphere, especially the back patio
Great restaurant. Food is amazing. It wasn't busy today but I did find service slow.
Nice service and good food
Best place in town hands down for beer and food. Have to have the thai egg rolls
Great beer, good food, overall a great little place
Best restaurant in Simcoe!
Great food. Took my sis for a birthday dinner.
(Translated) loved the strawberry lager! (Original) loved the strawberry lager!
Awesome food and beer
Love the food and the beer is out of this world
Not sure what happened w/ the kitchen staff or whether they had inexperienced cooks on a slower Monday night, b/ we had a very poor experience. We ordered nachos for an appetizer. Peculiar that they used round nachos b/ that they did not melt the cheese very well; lower layer was fridge-cold. We sent it back to reheat; no big issue. It came back a bit better melted on top b/ lower layer was the same; still cold. The waitress hadn't come back so I brought it inside (we were on the patio) to show her again. She then brought it out a third time with way overcooked soup of cheese. I said "a bit overkill, don't you think?" My son's burger was obviously sitting under the heat lamp as his bun was crusty toasted. Server never came back to check w/ us, ask us if we wanted another beer, nothing. Such a shame. Service was fair. They did not have a menu/listing of craft beers on tap. Server had trouble listing them. She finally came out w/ a list (bartender's?). We requested to see a manager b/ no one ever came out. She still wanted to charge full price then half price of the nachos as "we had eaten some". I was not going to get into a discussion about the burger. Sadly, this was my son's birthday and it was supposed to be a great night. I told the server of his birthday and she said they didn't do anything. Really?? A huge disappointment. Definitely won't be going back nor referring anyone.
Good pub, good atmosphere. Food not up to gastro-pub level, but more than satisfying.
good food, cool atmosphere, great staff!
Awsome place for food
Great food, terrible service. Cant stand the woman working in the dining room. Would love to come back but I cant bring myself to look at her face. Maybe consider take out from the dinning room.
Delicious egg rolls that were a meal in themselves and the wing were yummy too.
Food and service is good! Nice atmosphere... quiet for the most part. I will go back.
Prime rib pot pie was delicious. Good helping, service was friendly and professional. Nice selection of their own craft beer
Excellent good and service.
Cozy atmosphere, good variety on the menu & Craft beer on tap. Pleasant staff. Relaxing.
Very good place to go . Good food. Good service.
Friendly staff ,clean, good menu, mixed drink margaritas was tasty. Knew how to make it. Food nicely presented and tasty. Worth a go for sure
We stopped in for a quick bite, and of course a cold drink to wash it down. Had red devil ale, and dog house cider. Ended up purchasing some to go. Thai platter 4 2 was really good, and me some nice people at the next table. We will be back
Have been here for lunch several times over the past few years and have yet to be disappointed! They always have an intriguing menu of craft brew options and the food menu has one of the best varieties I have ever seen. Service is friendly.
Stopped off at this little brewery while driving through Simcoe to go camping in Long Point and what a gem! Super friendly service . Delicious craft beer. Fish and chips are AMAZING! Go here , you won't be disappointed.
The food was good and the portion size was large .. Really friendly staff
Great stylists. Fast service.
Good pub fare. Excellent wings and very good beer selection. Service is ok.
The Egg Rolls are delicious
Best fish in chips.
Great friendly vibe, great service, neat and welcoming interior set-up. Great beer however the food needed a bit more attention and flavour!
Very nice place comfortable very nice people that work there, will visit again
Great Staff, good food fun,fun,fun
Im normally a big fan of this restaurant but tonight’s meal was borderline horrible. I got the “homemade” individual beef pot pie. As a takeout dish it was simply a tin of beef and gravy with what appeared to be a thin slice of naan bread on top. Beyond that the beef and gravy had a taste and texture similar to Campbells Beef Stew. If you don’t want to do beef don’t do it. Every other meal I’ve had at the Blue Elephant has been fantastic and what I ate tonight was inedible.
Kind of a quaint place, great atmosphere. Food was delicious and service was good.
Excellent!!
Great wings and beer. We ordered the flight of 9 beer. It was delicious
Tried the Pad Thai. Its not very good. Uses wrong ingredients while omitting others that are necessary, while calling it "traditional pad thai" also really expensive, about twice the normal price for pad thai
Great atmosphere, great food, great portions, great pricing and great service! My husband and I love this local spot! :)
Great food and a excellent variety of craft beers at good prices.
Even under the circumstances of corvid me and my wife managed to have the wonderful lunch all while keeping social distancing from other patrons. Staff is fast and friendly, the quality of food fantastic and the beverages are cold. Great way to lead into spring
Food is very good,beer is home made
poutine was a 3 because gravy sucked, and the chicken fettuccine was in my books bla, had spices in it, but for some reason had no real flavor. will have to give em one more try.
Excellant as always great beer great food.
Great food, great staff.
Good selection of craft beer
Good food and good beer choices :) perfect for a cozy night out.
Good drinks & food love the atmosphere oh and rolly is my favourite cook :) he’s so awesome and nice I love him <3
Staff were friendly. Food and drink were good. Would go back
Food was ok. Good selection of craft beer. Prices are average.
Pub grub, pub look, service ok. Fantastic beer brewery right inside which might be it's best feature.
Great place to eat Always great service
Lot of great pub fare options, with some thai/curry items on the menu as well. The patio is lovely, and you can take a tour of the building to see how the Blue Elephant beer is brewed in house.
Great beer
Stopped here before the kids hockey game and enjoyed it. It was late afternoon on a Saturday and there were only a few people in there. Sat at the bar, our server was great, spent time sampling and explaining the beers and found a few we liked. Only had appetizers and they were great.
Very nice place, cozy ambiente, friendly, helpful staff, good food. The place to go to if you are in Simcoe.
Wings were no good. Sauce wasn't good. Canadians just can't seem to nail a decent buffalo wing. Fries were frozen refried and were not good. Also was told there are no drink specials. What kind of pub/brewery restaurant doesn't do drink specials?
Service was slow and forgot our anniversary reservations
Good food good beer... We will be back!
Everything was excellant except for dessert. Whoever made the carrot cake was certainly not following Shirley's recipe. The pineapple was in super big chunks and hard, very little carrot for a carrot cake, no spices and no cream cheese icing. What a disappointment. I threw it in the garbage after 4 bites.
Amazing Thai food, grilled cheese, and "red devil" beer
Prompt, efficient and friendly service ????
Great restaurant, both a bar and family restaurant. Great selection of house beers which change according to the seasons.
Cozy setup. Busy place. Loved the food!
Ordered Lunch in a bowl. It was very tasty. Service is good.
great bunch of people had fun
Lovely food and a great service!!
Good beer, great food and nice atmosphere - was a great random find !
Excellent food and friendly service. Very nice brewed on premise beers. Definitely a gem of the County.
Wonderful staff, great selection of beers and good food!
Excellent service
Staff was friendly and helpful. Good beer selection.
Not impressed with my food, service was good
Excellent food, excellent service. My first time there and not one complaint. Recommend the Bad Dog hard cider and the Thai egg rolls. Yum.
Nice
Best burgers! Very friendly staff!
The beer is fantastic! The food is awesome, though I just had a poutine. The fries were fresh and crispy. Only wish they were open later, last call was before midnight :/ All in all, a great spot. Will definitely be visiting again!
Decent
Fantastic food great price lots of different beers to try
Loooooove their food. So many yummy choices!
Great beer great wings
This place is amazing and open when we need it the most
The Blue Elephant has stepped up their game with their vegan/vegetarian options. We will definitely be coming back.
Went there today, was disappointed. Been here a few times and it is usually quite good, today was not one of those times. The restaurant was not very busy. …
Good food, good craft beer, excellent patio, good service with friendly accomodating staff. The spelt crust pizza was tasty and the warm shitake mushroom salad with herb dressing was excellent.
Great beers and excellent food. Two patios and a lot of tables inside. Recommended stop if travelling in the area.
Well i looked at the menu ahead of time which has something for everyone and i decided on the meat pie with mashed taters and greens. I have had pie from many places but this pie the meat was chewy lots of veg not much meat with a thin square piece of pastry on top. My son had stir fry which came quite a bit later then our party of sixes orders. We all felt our meals were just ok. The craft beer was good and a nice atmosphere inside and patio outside. The server was polite, helpful and apologized for the late meal served. If in the area again i may give it a try again for a beverage outside.
The serve and food was great
Nice menu and brews
Love the variety of beer and Thai egg rolls
Some of the most delicious food and service in Simcoe
Great food. Excellent service. Our waitress was awesome.
Amazing service from Kim! Amazing food and as always a great atmosphere!
Great food, excellent prices and beer that we had was very good.
Nice atmosphere... friendly competent staff
Good craft brew and food was pretty good. Went mid day on a Friday and was a little slow but was an off hour so probably under staffed. Would go back
Great food and service. Lunch in a bowl highly recommended.
Battered Mushrooms were amazing!!!! Great wings!! Great service ???? ????
Fantastic location. I had heard good things and truly I enjoyed their brews. They have a good selection, and you can try a lot of them with your sampling paddle.
Great food, great selection of local craft beer and your regular beer at very reasonable prices. Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere.
Don't get the chicken wings they suck
Excellent food! Excellent service! Great beer! A group of us went to The Blue Elephant for dinner and drinks before a show - just before ordering, the power went out. The staff not only stayed on - they went out of their way to put together …
Great food and drink
Great food and service
Excellent varied local fare

Menu has an excellent variety of food..from hamburgers, different yummy salads, curries,padthai,DELICIOUS soups..ect....worth the drive..and the BEER OF COURSE ????
Super friendly Staff, excellent food!!
Great food great beer. Decent prices
Excellant food. Great variety!
Loved it. The food was incredible. The grilled cheese burger with apple jam was amazing. I ordered the Xtra Burger for it. The real bar mix for my ice tea was great. The outside patio was nice. I really enjoyed the sampler craft beer. Great to try. Enough to let you go back a few times. Just to let you know if you liked the four picks. I would go back again and again
Had the fish and chips, it was fantastic to say the least. Great customer service and a place I will go again.
Five star, great food and fresh draft by excellent brewer. Staff are really nice! Try the Red Devil Ale! Although so many more choices.
Good food selection, cozy, beer is ok. Waiter was very attentive and genuine doing his best to create a tailored experience.
Love the Blue Elephant, lots of local food to enjoy and really cool beers brewed on premise!
Good chickenwings and home brew! Cozy bar. Nice place to bring friends.
First time to visit and not disappointed the food was great the interior design of the Blue Elephant was beàutiful very interesting and was an early 1900 decor but served the pub well,looking forward to another visit for lunch and beer.
I really liked this place. Good atmosphere and food. Beer was ok too.
Great wings and great beer at a reasonable price
Kim was great
First time in Simcoe, wanted to try something local and found this place. Great experience! Beer was really good and the pizza was amazing! They have a garlic mayo sauce that is unlike anything I've ever had. Will be back next time I'm here.
Great food beer brewed onsite.
Very friendly waitstaff. A good variety of food on their menu. Enjoy their beer too
Always great
Always a great place for local brews and wines. Green curry a treat as well as Thai egg rolls. Yum.
A nice place to hang out. Good food, good service. Great building and a very nice ambience. Regrettably, I found the beer a bit insipid. Certainly drinkable, but one would expect a brew pub to do a little better than that. They have Keith's and Rickards Red on tap as well as their own beers. When you leave wondering if you should have had one of those instead, it is not a plus. However, I would certainly go again if I am ever back in Simcoe.
We had great service. Great food! Calm , friendly atmosphere. Would go back!
Great food
Awesome little Brew Pub. Nice Ontario craft beers with local ingredients.
Wasn't much option for a vegan glad I asked the waiter who sold my on the California wrap. I highly recommend it and this place.
(Translated) This restaurant is a piece of American history in the house .. a traditional house full of elephants for good luck;) .. I felt great..the friendly staff took good care of us;) .. the food was amazing, fresh and a huge selection .. everyone gets enough naje..a great local and interesting pivkáa with flavors;) ... must be tried :) (Original) Táto reštaurácia je kus americkej histórie v dome.. tradičný domček plný sloníkov pre štastie ;).. cítila som sa výborne..príjemný personál sa o nás ukážkovo staral ;)..jedlo bolo úžasné, čerstvé a obrovský vyber.. každý sa dosýta naje..a skvelé lokálne a zaujmavé pivkáa s príchuťami ;)... treba vyskúšať :)
We were there for our first time on Tues night after my granddaughters grade 8 graduation. She picked where we went and it was an excellent choice. Very impressed with service and meals. Will definately return.
Best meal in a longtime.
Best wings in Simcoe.

Craft beer! The elephants trunk! Imagine sampling a flight of 9 craft beers in an artisinal frame and you have the elephants trunk! An awesome experience awaits you at the Blue Elephant. Amazing beer.. awesome hospitality and incredible food at great prices.
Excellent service, great food. Very inviting ambiance.
Nice staff etc., but I look at their great menu... then I'm disappointed with what I get. Every time.
What a unique place. This is a hidden gem. The soup was fantastic. Cant wait to go back and try the different brews
Service is fantastic. There are lots of beverage options and the craft brews do NOT disappoint. :) Whether you are craving pub-style food, Italian, a great deli sandwich, or Thai cuisine, the Blue Elephant has something on the menu for you. I have been going there with my family for over 4 years now and it will continue to be a tradition we keep.
Very expensive
they seem to have quite an assortment of refreshments of sorts. the salad was bang on! the sirloin burger needs to step up to the bun...
I love the Tai eggrolls
Wish I got our server's name because they were amazing as was our food and drinks. What a great place, 10/10 will be back again
Great selection for a flight of craft brew
Food was excellent and so was the craft beers.
Amazing food and great craft beers
