Huge portions of food very tasty
Amazing place to eat and work!!! The staff are amazing and are always smiling ????????
Fun, good music and lovely staff.
Great wings, although they could have been quite a bit hotter asked for suicide and it couldn't have been hotter than Frank's Red Hot. Still amazing wings just up the spice.
Good service, great beer,awesome menu
Not great! Waited over 40 mins for over cooked food, didn't get our appetizer until after we got our meal. And charged us for the overcooked food we didn't eat.
Best food in town
This restaurant was fantastic the food was amazing and the prices are very reasonable definitely recommend eating here. You won't be disappointed.
Delicious food, good service, fun variety from normal fare
Fist time visiting and it was great! Great food, fun and relaxed atmosphere, and the wait staff was great! Definitely recommend!
Great spot for an after class brew! Amazing staff and good selection.
Great hangover burger :)
Amazing wings!
It is normally amazing though I found in my most recent visit that they were a little lightly staffed for a Sunday of a May long weekend. The waitress was run ragged. Food was amazing as always it just took crazy long to get to us.
Good food but, unfortunately, long wait times. It could be attributed to bad timing on my part, but the apathy towards prompt service was off-putting. Now, that said, the wait staff were very pleasant and quick for the most part, I just believe their setup isn't the most efficient or the personnel management is in need of amelioration.
Really enjoyed the service and the food.
My favorite spot in Pembroke for a drink and a bite! Great atmosphere, service and food. This is exactly how local businesses should be run.
Fabulous food!! Excellent flavour !! All around great place to go either alone with a group of friends! Love the live entertainment and dance floor. Service was just ok. Could use slight improvement.
The live bands on Wednesday night absolutely bring down the house! Good wings too!
Great food and amazing Caesars! Would go there every day if I could!
Really good food and service
Painstakingly slow service. Brought out the wrong food, while one of our friends waited for his order to be corrected they bring out the wrong side while he waited too. Personally waited 15 mins for a drink and on top of that the food was ice cold for everyone at our table. Definitely would not recommend unless you enjoy waiting for extended periods of time for food you could have cooked better at home.
This might be a nice place to have a drink, don't bother going for the food. Our pricey salad was mostly lettuce. Our salt and pepper wings had no pepper on them. We commented on this to our server and received no feedback from her. Like another reviewer said, nobody told us there was a nice river view dining area. It would have been nice to sit with the river view instead of in the dark bar area for our dinner.
Great burgers and lumberjack chips
Today was my first time at TNSP. The burger was thick, juicy and very tasty and the fries were delicious. The staff was friendly and service was great. I will be back again and I will recommend this place to all of my friends.
Fantastic nachos
Friendly service, delicious food!
Food was great, the "Naughty Neighbour" was a fantastic choice. I had an issue with the beer I ordered and they replaces it with no issue. Waitress was excellent. Hope to be back again soon.
Dat Poutine (All of em)
Fantastic food, great atmosphere wonderful staff. A must stop.
Great burgers, good service, and tasty Caesars!
The food was good and service great. It is a Pub atmosphere and menu of burgers and fries and you can get a fish meal as well. We have monthly meetings there in the back and it has been good for us. There is parking.
the service and the management at this place is terrible. The owner even worst i do not recomment to encourage that place until they have new administration
Great service.
There's a new super hot supervisor and she's great! 5/5 would visit again.
The food was great.the burgers are wicked good.we had the garbage can Nachos with beef they were great as well.if you don't have your vaccines you must sit outside.
Awesome Fathers Day breakfast and Fiona had a houseful of guests and she kept it all going. Great service Fiona. I especially loved the nice touch you did at the end of my service. You are special.
Great food, fantastic service. Oh, and all brands of draft are cheap!
We always have good food at good prices Service is generally a bit slow, I think because the servers are over worked. Great place to hang out and have some drinks and munchies though.
Good prices on drinks, food was excellent. Great service, and I love the live music. Good place for a date night, sit nearer to the back as the music can get loud if you want to have a conversation.
Great food, amazing staff
First time there, will definitely be going back. There is alot to choose from from the menu. Things that sounds a little crazy but may be worth a try.
Damn fine burgers
Poor service
Awesome food
Good Good, friendly staff, great atmosphere!
Disappointing to say the least! Quite busy, so we sat at the bar. We were quickly offered drinks from the server who was clearly stressed out by how busy it was. She was quite abrupt. We ordered wings and a burger. Meals came fairly quickly. The wings were terrible and the burger was burnt. We didn't get the opportunity to voice our concerns as no one came to check in on us. Sat there with an empty glass for 15 minutes. We watched tables get up and leave as they were not being served. Too bad. It's an unfortunate experience as we like to support local independent businesses. They were under staffed for a Friday - where were the managers? Why weren't they supporting them. Perhaps an off night as they get back into the swing of things as the lock down lifted. Let's hope so.
Perfect service. Clubhouse was awesome. Thank you.
The food was ok, we had wings, nachos and the lumberjack potatoes (they are just chips). The food arrived warmish, and everything was cold after 5 minutes. The nachos lacked flavour. The beer selection is limited for a pub... only one local craft beer on tap. I would not recommend this place to friends or family.
Food was great but my table felt pretty neglected. Notified them of my large party and they were still surprised to see us and scrambled to make room. We had to go searching to the bar side to get our drink refilled..or to get ketchup!
Great spot for food and drink! Always local music! We recommend!
Very nice place !!!
Great food, great price
Awesome food. Great Service.
Awesome food. Live bands. Great friendly service
A friend of mine came to visit me this summer from Alberta, he stopped in to eat on his way to my house asked if I ever been there I said no he told me food was really good, anyways being a fussy eater I never went kinds stick to places I know ,but then he came back from Alberta for Christmas again stopped in well visiting and again asked if I tried to restaurant yet once again I replied no ,so I figured I best check it out and I have to say the food was fabulous, the staff was very personable and the prices were amazing especially for the quality and quantity of what was served ,so two thumbs up and you can know change your sign to best hamburgers in the world ..by some guy in Alberta ???????? differently will go again and highly recommend it to family and friends ,thanks for a nice relaxing evening out with my husband
Great burgers, I dig it.
Not bad. Band was nice.
The service was extremely slow when it wasn't even busy. Was a 2 and a half hour experience that could have been 1, we spent most of our time waiting for the server to take our order and then even more time for the food to actually arrive, and then waited even longer for our table to be cleared and bills to arrive.
Super cool place, reminded me a lot of the 90s with the playlists and atmosphere.
Got wasted! It was Great!
Amazing home cooked food from scratch and great service !
Good burgers!
Bartender lied to my face about the special. Probably pocketed the money.
It's a very friendly place and it has a really good family atmosphere. The staff that I have met are very helpful in kind.
Great place! Great food and good music.
Great food, great drinks and great service!!
Awesome
Great food. And live music.
The service was very poor. The waitress serving us was very rude and had horrible communication skills. The food wasn't the grestes either.
Free pool, massive poutine, cold beer. Best part of Pembroke.
Excellent service, great weekly specials, and a pretty impressive selection of local Ontario craft beers, both on tap and in cans.
For a place that claims to have the best wings in town, the very small and dried up wings were terrible! I asked for a side of blue cheese dressing to help it and got a side of mayo 15mins later, once done. Our table was not served all together. Some got their food 30min if not more ahead of others. Table of 20 and waitress was bringing out 2 drinks at a time. The place was packed and no managers on site. So much for ordering as a group ahead of time.
I was there on Sunday night and not sure who the cook was but my poutine was cold and fries were over cooked. Fries are not suppose to be hard. The waitress was good but the food turned me off of ever going there again. Plus it took almost 25 mins for two poutines. Not going back.
Burger was amazing.
Delicious food, great service. Good place to go with friends and family, and they have high chairs for young kids. They are also on valley eats, food is great when ordering. ????????
They have Murphy’s stout which rocks and restaurants never have it. I love the Trash can nachos, and the wings are great! Always room for my friends and I.
Service was good
Heard Nelson Street had the best burgers in the Valley, and we were not disappointed! Towering, mouthwatering burgers, lumberjack potatoes and poutine were also fantastic. Great service, mostly handheld/finger foods (burgers, sandwiches, etc), but tons of options in those categories. Two can eat well for anywhere from $25-40. Easily something for everyone! Wasn’t too busy for lunch on a Thursday, but I can imagine it’s a pretty great atmosphere when it gets busy. Didn’t get past the main pub seating, but there’s apparently a secondary bar area and even a lounge. Their live music set up looks great, and we’re looking forward to coming back for more!
Atmosphere was nice. Music was nice. Food was good but took very long to get. Also very expensive.
Good food, great prices and service. Good selection of traditional canadian cuisine. Will definately be back
Bartenders are great and funny . Food is amazing
Great local pub near the waterfront. Selection is good with live entertainment. The all day breakfast is a great deal, along with monster portioned nachos. Staff is attentive and most prices are reasonable. If you are looking for a casual fun place down town, this is the place to go.
Slower service at times but great food, solid music, and a chill and Toronto Vibe
The food was great and service was excellent!
Good Pub food. The kitchen Sink nachos are huge...however it would be great if the toppings are layered along the tower because the were very plain once you eat the top layer. The Caesar was delicious. Almost like a meal in itself with shrimps, grilled cheese sandwich, deep fried pickles and veggies
Great service. Decent wings for wing night
First time customers, but definitely not the last! Excellent service from Ashley, food served hot and fresh in a timely manner. Beverages served ice cold. Prices are competitive.
My “garlic Parmesan” wings were dry wings with a few pieces of chopped garlic on a couple of the wings, not even all of them. Completely flavourless! Service was slow but friendly.
Loved the atmosphere. And the food and service was excellent. Nelson Street Pub is just what Pembroke needed!
The food was good, the service was a bit underwhelming
No more wings on saturday at 7.45. For a wing place that's a no no.
Awesome atmosphere, the Metal nights are beyond worth it! Even a regular night is so relaxing and the drinks are a highlight! Lol highly recommend and greatly satisfied!
The food was pretty good. Music pretty LOUD!! Service NOT SO MUCH! The ladies were more interested in each other, sharing …
We had a great experience although limited to the restrictions in place dispite COVID-19. Our waitress Kristen was more then helpful and very knowledgeable of the menu items and drinks. In the past I've had less than desirable experiences here but things have seemed to change. Great spot, great atmosphere.
Cool
Beware of the 12 inch nachos! It's enough appetizer to feed an army! Absolutely delicious and great service too!
Great pub with great food
Good food great service. Will go again
0 stars, owner is a crook and a shady person overall.
Wonderful experience... 10/10 would go back again
Food portions are huge so think twice before ordering two appetizers.
Never before have I felt so compelled to write a positive review for an establishment. My life will be forever changed after going through the process which could only be described as desirable dining. My Girlfriend and I had never been to The Nelson Street Pub before but we will definitely return as it over-satisfied our insatiable appetites. We began with a full plate of nachos which blew our minds in terms of quantity and quality. I then ate The Red Patrick Burger which was so savory that I could eat one for every meal. My girlfriend also ate this burger with a vegetarian patty (I know) and was also thoroughly impressed. My side of poutine and her Greek salad were both exactly how they should be served. Needless to say we will definitely be returning and eating the rest of the menu. Thank you Nelson Street Pub for the wonderful experience of eating incredibly well prepared food.
Went for lunch. Is was quite and fast. The food was great. The service was also friendly. The bar had a good selection.
Ordered take out the other day - food was great, huge portion sizes. We had enough for leftovers the next day ????
Had a great service, food was served at a decent speed, and was really good.
Food was bland, orders came out wrong. Giving 3 stars because the place was great last time!
Best burgers in the area and the most creative menu I've ever seen. Nice friendly place!! Highly recommended trying it.
Ottawa Valley has some great restaurants. The Nelson St Pub is exceptional great pub food and many local brews . Live bands and many menu deals .
Well, I'll say their facebook ad actually got us. Some fun pics of colorful drinks and stacked burgers had us driving for an hour and a 1/2 and staying over at a hotel. Granted, we NEEDED to go somewhere, so we were willing to take a …
Crazy new food with very friendly service
Love the food, love the service.
Consistantly good food. And a great atmosphere.
Amazing burgers, nice cozy atmosphere and reasonable prices!
Burgers are clearly homemade and the fries are also excellent. Fantastic place
Stopped by just before 1pm for a pint and a burger. My wife and I ordered the same beer, Coors Banquet, mine was flat. I'll drink just about anything shy of hot beer but when paying for a premium draught beer I'd expect it to have a little fizz to it. My burger was pretty tasty, the meat was juicy, however the bun was a little too greasy for my liking. The oil in the fryers is due for a change. Neither my wife nor I even touched our fries. My wife's club sandwich was good but she had asked for sweet potato fries and received the same fries as I did. There was only one waitress working the bar, wait times were a little long considering there was perhaps about 15 people in the front at any given time. Another couple left at the same time as us, stating they were tired of waiting too long to be seen by the waitress. The couple near us had to ask for condiments. We were not even offered condiments. Is this the norm here? Overall, I'd have to say I was disappointed especially considering I paid $50 for our meals. I had been looking forward to coming here from all of the Facebook posts I had seen of the food. Of the three times I've been here, each time a different business name, the overall experience has been mediocre at best.
Great place and great food but oddly not that busy for how nice it is
It's a good bar with great bar food, perfect place to discuss philosophy for anyone!
Great food, great price, and quick service! Loved the Naughty Neighbour (burger with bacon, cheese, and mozzarella sticks) with grilled cheese buns!
Awesome atmosphere great open Mike nights on Wednesday's. Super friendly staff and patrons.
Food was great service sucked
Great food. Great service. The wings were delicious
Very good food and drink selection. Burgers are great.
Food and drinks are awesome, but the atmosphere I don't really get. The back is a nice restaurant layout but blasting system of a down music so you could barley hear each other, also given the music choice, I wouldn't bring my kids. (Don't get me wrong, I enjoy system of a down lol) Staff mostly focus their attention to the front bar area which is separate so you don't often see them. So if you get sat out there, your probably going to be there 2 hours but sitting out front in the bar area I find "uncomfortable" or "unwelcoming" I'm unsure which describes the feeling best. Foods great tho :S
J'adore, great food, good ambiance, serve with smile.....go ahead, come trying it
Great food, big portions!!
Went on a Saturday night and they had a live band playing 80s covers. Pretty busy, but easy to find a seat. Ordered food that was decently fast with some creative menu options. Beer selection is also decent with some local pours and common brands. Prices were a bit above average.
Amazing night with friends made amazing by amazing service , will go again in the future ❤❤❤
Myself and a group of friends have been regularly having lunch at NSTP for several years. We are usually quite happy with the food and service. After having lunch today …
Great food as always
Great service, reasonable prices, pub atmosphere. Enjoyed our meal and drinks.
Friendly staff. Good entertainment and great food. A really nice place to go to. To take a significant other.
First time here. Food and drinks were good and reasonably priced. Pub is clean and the staff are very courteous and welcoming.
Burgers are excellent. Friendly staff. Good food. Nice atmosphere.
Amazing food and drinks! Friendly staff & nice environment :)
Claims to be Korean food. They had 2 "Korean" things on the menu. The one we got was not good at all. The wings were flavorless. The routine was pretty good though.
Definitely the best spot in town for burgers. Service is up and down when it comes to speed, servers are nice. Watch out for the giant pot hole at the entrance, but that's the city's problem.
Fantastic food at great prices
A good place to eat delicious meals. I‘m a lover of their burgers. Also the wings are amazing! I‘m only disappointent by their „garden salad“. It‘s nothing special about it, not super fresh or with special salad. I don‘t think you should try the „healthy eating“ their???? Go for what they are known best for; wings burgers etc!
The food was great, the portions were bigger than expected. Excellent service too.
The trash can nachos are amazing! Great local beers too. Server (amber) was great, very personable and attentive! Definitely will be going back when I am in town next
Had a great time. The show was awesome, food was delicious. Great atmosphere! Support local and have a beer!
Used to be really good. The quality of the food has dropped.
Satisfying food, great service. Very friendly staff
Great place, awesome food. Decent prices. Live entertainment on weekends. Great menu, well done and witty.
Live music and great food and burgers.
First time for this restaurant and I just had one of the best burgers I've had in months. Seasoned well, cooked well toppings are just right, and all of this via delivery. Can't wait to try in restaurant.
Great food and atmosphere
Impossible to leave here with an empty belly. Huge selection of burgers
Fab food, friendly and helpful staff! Far out entertainment!!
Extremely long wait like 2 hours for deep fryed food but the server did discount our food so kinda balanced out
Unfortunately, this will be the first and last time I ever visit this place. This review will be short in length, just like my visit there. All I wanted was to sit down, and enjoy a nice meal with my friends, but you couldn't even let me have that. As soon as we walked through the door, we were met with a nice employee, who quickly ran off to check if we could get a seat. I thought our chances were somewhat decent, seeing as there was nary a soul in the establishment itself. Nevermind the few people outside, but that shouldn't have gotten in the way of the food and yours truly. But you just can't trust your surroundings sometimes, because as quickly as we arrived, we left distraught, disappointed and most importantly, hungry. Apparently, we couldn't be served due to high amounts of online orders. No chance to wait or even think about what had happened. The few customers who were there looked on in sorrow, as we walked out of a sorry restaurant. UPDATE: Since this review, (approx. 6 months ago from this update) I've not been to many restaurants, I'm sure most of you can see why that is. However, I've returned to give this establishment another chance, and frankly, I'm still disappointed. If I had to describe my meal in as few words as possible, it would be bland, and overpriced. The "really good" burgers were nothing to write home about, especially since mine might have been sitting on the grill a little longer than intended. There doesn't seem to be any passion in the cooking, it all feels so contrived. I could taste every other part of my burger (The Hangover) except for the actual meat! If I wanted everything but the hamburger, that's what I would have ordered. The other item off the menu that I tatsed was the "Drop It Like It's Hot" poutine and contrary to its name, I didn't want to drop it at all! Now it wasn't the best poutine I've had in my life, but not bad either. But I mean, it's pretty hard to mess up. I'm certainly a little too white to be eating that too often. Pretty spicy overall, but it didn't overpower the other flavors too much. Not bad. Now, both of these things on their own made for an alright meal, I definitely enjoyed the company of my friends more than the food. But you want to know what I didn't enjoy at all? Paying over 20 dollars for both of these. I know we all have to make a buck here and there, but that's insane! Especially for a lame, boring and unexciting burger and poutine with chicken and jalapeños on it. Sorry I got a little rude there, don't worry, I'm sure the owner will never read/respond to this. My review will go to two stars now, just because I actually got to EAT THE FOOD this time. But that food was nothing amazing. My suggestion, is go here when you're drunk so you don't realize how much money you're wasting and don't bring anyone here for a first date.
Trash can Nachos. Thats all im sayin!
If you are into punny menus this place has you covered. Really good bar food with artsy punns everywhere you look creates a nice vibe. Saw a wicked comedy show too
Caesar's are good food is ok .
Love the food!!!
This is my favourite pub in the area service is always great and the food is fantastic. I have had dates, family dinners and birthday dinners here. I definitely would recommend the Nelson Street pub.
Great place to get a burger amd hear live music! Pub style restaurant . I will return when in the area!
Great food and location, had a great night.
Absolutely love this restaurant. Amazing Food! Excellent Staff and extremely reasonable prices!
A bit pricy but the food is awesome, service is great
Our waitress was amazing. Thank you for the directions!!!
Beyond amazing food! Portions were massive obviously making the meal very filling and worth your money! *yes it's a bit more pricey then most places around the area but like I said worth ur money!
AMAZING TIME EVERY TIME I GO
Poor service. Food was cold and unedible. Server was rude and got a supervisor, Emma who refused to do anything. Do not be fooled by the 5 star reviews. Save your money!
Great place for having fun great food
I absolutely love the angry Lisa favorite burger on the planet
Best burgers in the valley!!! Service was on point and all the food was excellent! New fave place in Pembroke
Good pub food
Could be great but some thing was missing when I found my cheese stick no cheese in it and paid full price.
Fabulous food and service. Chef regularly visits tables himself, to make sure everything is alright. If you order an unfamiliar dish, he will also provide recommendations on how to enjoy it most. Very friendly atmosphere, and incredible food!
We had the Korean barbecue, all three, the food was very good and full of flavour. The service was excellent. The staff were very eager to help us enjoy our food to the fullest. The cost of the meal was reasonable.
Great menu, I would recommend one of their burgers (with grilled cheese sandwiches as your bun)
Great food, great service
Came for a nice patio dinner and drinks. They were out of fish when I ordered fish and chips. Unfortunate, but it happens. I get it. So I ordered a burger and fries. My plate arrives and as I’m eating, I see something metallic in a fry. It looked like half of a staple. I informed the waitress. She wasn’t overly shocked, nor overly apologetic. She discounted my meal by 50% but I mean, I almost ate a staple. Needless to say, I won’t be back. Super unimpressed.
First time in the establishment and the burger and poutine i ordered was great. Managed to eat it all.
-Food is a 3 out of 5. Better if I didnt know just how dirty some of the kitchen staff is. -Service was a 3 out of 5. She was slow with coming to take our order and bring drinks but she was friendly. -Management is a 0 out of 5. Have heard nothing but horror stories about him all over social media. For that reason I give TNSP a solid 2. If you want average food/service, don't have to use the mens washroom while there and don't care about what really goes on behind the scenes then give it a try!
The first time i was here everything was overall great I invited my friends out for a double date... HUGE MISTAKE!! we tried to call numerous times to make a reservation and there was no answer no biggie we showed up anyway and we were seated on the bar side, our server arrived about 10 min later threw the menus down and walked away she came back a few min later and asked for drink orders. The way she came off was terrible she was extremely snotty and as my friend tried to joke with her she came back with don't tempt me right now very sarcastic. She was rushing us and had absolutely no tableside manner as a server myself I believe service is at least 80% of the experience. As she came with the food an hour and a half later she set it down and ran off not bringing any condiments or asking us if wed like anything else (drinks etc) I was aggitated to later findout she would not return for a quality check on food or still no drink refills as we were sitting there parched! Our food was ok some of it was cold but by this point we were starved so didnt care. She didnt ask if wed like anything else as she returned to the table to clear plates and drop the Bill. Unfortunetely the servers need to be more educated on service and I understand if she is overwhelmed but its extremely unproffessional to be rude or short as that affects tips 100% I will probably not come back but wish this place the best of luck
Awesome food and service
High quality food and feels like a classy place to buy a beer compared to other outlets in the area. 90s music regularly played forces me to give it a 5/5 as I am sick to death of dubsteb autotune garbage
Cory the owner has made magic happen with this place over the past almost 5 years!!! We still keep hearing great things from people were recommended go!
Found this place on Facebook and drove from Ottawa to give it a shot. The photos don’t lie and the food is amazing! My only comment to the owners would be: When you walk in you’re in the bar area, there is no signage to suggest that you should wait to be seated or grab your own seat, and there was no one to instruct us otherwise. There’s a sign that says “Lounge” with an arrow... does that me restaurant side, or what is that? We’ll definitely be back, but I feel the first impressions are a bit awkward and confusing for new timers like myself.
Great Service
Amazing stiches. Cozy place. Food is so good
Had such an awesome time, first time go'er 1 year anniversary great live music. Service little slow but I had a great time otherwise! Great staff! Food is phenomenal!!! Bang for you're buck!!!! Highly recommend this place!!! Can't wait to come back!!!!!! Meet really great people!!????????????
Great ambiance, service was excellent, the space for group party is more than any 50 ppl party will need! A good selection of craft beer and the bar service is very amusing since employee seems to really enjoy theyr time there!
Slow service and poorly managed
Great food... and lots of it!!
The food was excellent. Our waitress was great but she seemed to be only one working. We made reservation and when we got there they had it down for 6 people not 7 ( I guarantee we told them 7). This seemed to throw them for loop and the hostess and waitresses were complaining and stressing in front of us about how they were going to seat us. The restaurant was pretty quiet with many open larger tables. We got our drinks and ordered. While waiting for our food my friend wanted another beer pur waitress was busy so he had no issue going to bar. There were 4 servers chatting at the bar. He sttod and waited 2-3 minutes before one server noticed him. Then when they saw him all 4 servers walked away from him. He finally came back to our table and another server then asked if she could help him. My overall opinion is the food was definitely top notch but the service is lacking with some staff.
Really good food and portions
Amazing burgers...best around.
Good food, good prices, good service, a little loud.
Super impressed by the service then the food came and we were floored by the presentation and flavor. Their unique menu is amazing. Looking forward to the next time we have trash can nachos!!! Nom nom nom
Great food and amazing service
Always great food and great service, a real gem in Pembroke
Service was weak, ask for drinks never got them, tacos where cold return and cold again, this was a really bad experience. second time tacos came cold again, I don't want a free meal or accomodations, I want results, after speaking with some people I know we all agree the service is really mediocre and food looks goods but the taste is not there
I no longer have good things to say about this establishment.
Great food at a great price, the drinks are also one of the best deals in town. And they have awesome music playing. Recommend this place for sure ! Half priced wings on Wednesdays
Been going here for years. Extremely AVERAGE. Their food can be great, but is most often MEH. edit: owner responded with trolling response. I have included some digital records of times Ive ordered, not included are the times Ive gone in person. Will not be going again. I have been going since this place opened and ordered all throughout the pandemic. I have had burned burgers, nachos (by the way, take it easy on the cumin), cold hard fries, nachos without cheese, one time asked for them to fix it and they sent it back with a tiny handful in the middle (the cook clearly didnt care and threw it on in a huff, you gotta sprinkle that cheese around lol ) The food varies wildly, sometimes thick, sometimes thin fries. Over cooked, under cooked, burned, cheese shredded cheese curds. Its kinda the same for all their menu options. They are extremely INCONSISTENT. The service in the restaurant is BAD. Real bad, read some other reviews, for points I will likely miss. Forgotten drinks, condiments, plates, napkins, I get that it is busy but sort your servers out. Expect to wait long periods of time for food and drinks, as well to be tended in general. I walked out recently without being served for 20 minutes at least, some friends walked out on their table as well on a separate occasion for a similar situation. for these reasons nelson st pub has been struck from my local go to spots list. I don't recommend it, the horror stories are kind of entertaining, like the owner answering the phone drunk and telling people complaining that its not nelson st pub. I suspect the staff turn around is pretty hectic, I rarely see the same staff there over long periods of time. Anyways I dont recommend. Not until they make a commitment to quality they can back (you cant fool me... I know what youre about)
Great food, great music!
Good atmosphere and events, drinks were surprisingly expensive when I was there, not sure if that was due to the special event, but $9 for a domestic draft in a plastic cup isn't cool. Besides that, will go back to try the food and open mic night.
Lots going on! Tasty specials, lots of beer, and friendly staff. Tried the small "Trash Can Nachos" - an entire nacho plate baked in a steel sleeve and revealed at the table, great value and great nachos.
I have been here for 2 hours and still don't have my food. My friends app platter was missing items from the menu and our glasses have been dry for God knows how long. One star is more than this place deserves...... UPDATE. Food is here 2.5 hours later. Burger is cold and the fries burn the mouth which is great when you can't get drink. UPDATE. 3 Hrs still here......
It was our first time there, but will not be our last. Prices are normal. Really good selection of different types of Pub like food. Service was wonderful. The place is beautifully done up, and VERY clean! Bathrooms were VERY Clean. That is huge with me. I ordered a poutine, it was quite large, I could not finish it. My partner ordered a burger and fries. He loved it. I tried the Burger, homemade you can tell. And very tasty! Thankfully one of the booths were open, as with any sort of disability, it would be hard to sit on the high chairs they have. But it looks awesome! They have live music, we hope to go check that out one night. Get a taxi and enjoy some of those wonderful draft beers they offer! Anyway, 5 star in my book. If you live or are visiting Pembroke, this is a must try place! Sit back and enjoy yourself. Enjoy the great food!
Good pub fare food.
Wonderful Wings. And Tap. Highly recommended the Medium wings!!! Service is Excellent & Friendly.
Stopped here on an 8 day cross Ontario road trip. Outdoor dining only due to the current situation. Great view of the sunset, waitress was lively and had a great sense of humor. The poutine gravy was spot on, like a chip truck in Quebec, good job!! Club sandwich was one of the best I've had. The Angry Lucy burger was delicious, no fillers...real meat burger. Great atmosphere and the music was fantastic, thanks!!
Best bar in Pembroke. Hands down. Good food. Generous portions. Yeah, and they have really good music.
Great food, prices and staff! Live music was awesome!
Good beer & burgers!
Seriously good wings!
management is a joke very sketchy operation
It wasn't WOW out if this world. It was just meh, okay
Great food! Great service. Enjoy the live music. One of the best places to eat and chill at in Pembroke.
Always good food. Awesome staff.
Great burger and fries !
This place is so much fun and the service is awesome ???????? Metal Nights are the best times!
Good food
Used to be a great place I took family too all the time but after having my meal messed up to many times I gave up. Went in with a group of 6 (not that big or hard of a group, were all easy going) She originally sat us next to the band when we stated we wanted to be away so we could actually hear eachother, when we asked if we could sit in the lounge we were told it wasnt open but all the lights were on and door was open? Well eventually we found a table and was ready to order food and drinks. Half hour later our waitress finally shows up to take drink order, another 45minutes and shes finally back with our non alcoholic drinks and leaves without taking food order. I had to ask 3 different waitresses if they could get our waitress so we could order. When we finally see her (what I'm assuming was the boss) grabbed her from us before we could order. There goes another 45 minutes without our order taken. FINALLY she takes our order and the food shows up an hour later cold and over cooked. The wings were like eatingchicken jerky and the burgers were horribly placed together. What used to be a place I suggested to clients on a daily place is no longer. Very dissapointing
Best ceasers in town! Food is amazing, absolutely love the make your own brownie option ???? Staff and management are friendly as well. If your looking for your next date night definitely come here!
This place serves great tasting food, at very affordable prices... Very relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff... I will return...
Waitress goes above and beyond to make sure you have an awesome time here. Such a happy place
Love going to Nelson street pub great food and great ppl
Food was good. A bit disappointed that the hamburger has filler in it. What's the point of a gluten-free bun.. Cesar's were awesome
Wish I could rate it zero stars. Went there with a group of work colleagues tonight.... ordered food (wings) at 5:30pm just to be told at 9pm that they were out of wings (after watching several other tables who arrived after us get served wings). I understand the difficulties of serving a large group but this was an extreme fail on their behalf. I was speechless... half our table was still not served at this point. 3.5hrs is a long time to wait just to be told you'll have to eat elsewhere. Still absolutely baffled.
It's ok. In Step 1 of Ontario's reopening they improvised a parking lot patio. The food was ok pub grub. Stick to the burgers. The fries are good. The fish and chips are best avoided. More like a frozen fish stick. The $5 in house draft is a good deal. Didn't try the Caesers, but they looked interesting, if expensive.
Was recommended to go there as wanted to go to a patio with a view but was extremely disappointed. The patio was on the road with absolutely no view but houses around n the road. There were regular table chairs which I have on my patio no umbrellas or anything fancy. The inside was not bad as it was 2 floors but more than half the place was closed. Only 2 servers even though there were quite a few people inside. No one was on the patio I assume because how it looked. Service was not bad but food took extremely long. Food was not bad and big in size.
I love going there with my friends for breakfast
Great burgers for an awesome price. The fries are my favorite out of any restaurant around. Friendly laid back atmosphere as well, love this place.
It's a cool atmosphere, and fun open mic night on Thursday's.
We just stopped in as need to find a place to eat. Omg this is a huge surprise. Food was amazing. The burgers are huge. Highly recommend this place.
Scratch my last.... Came in today and wow. I mean I loved the food last time but today was too notch and service was super quick and efficient :) I ???? Nelson St. Pub Good food! Good atmosphere. Service a bit slow during the day.
Service was a little slow but the food was absolutely amazing
The food is amazing.
Great pub. Some interesting food options that are fun to eat. Go check them out! Live music often very good, although loud when playing. Lots of fun!
Excellent music venue with friendly staff and excellent food. I always have a great time and enjoy the wings and Nachos. The Nachos are seriously loaded and layered throughout.
Best place in pembroke!
Amazing food, Amazing Staff!
Pay your staff if you want people to support your business. I am embarrassed that I have given this place a penny.
Third time at this pub and so far nothing bad to say when there is enough staff. I saw their sign about having the best burgers voted by someone who liked burgers. This poutine burger meal with a ceaser salad. The best quality of ingredients in my opinion. A very alternative pub scene.
Such a great vibe, menu isn't huge but it still feels like there is a lot to choose from! Miss the morning breakfast cut off elsewhere? Go to Nelson St pub after 11am and enjoy a $6 breakfast anytime during the day! One thing to mention - the server hadn't come back to check on us at our table. We needed more dip for our fries, and I had to go up to the bar to request it. Would have given 5 stars if not for that. Portions are generous. Kettle chips to die for. Will come for wings and try them out next time.
Poor quality long and very long wait times, over an hour sitting at a table before we got even an appetizer. Have this place a few chances since it's changed names 2 or 3 times over the years. I will not be returning as a customer.
Waited 25 min for a beer left 10 min after drinking it service is absolutely horrible it doesn't take almost 30 min to change a keg over and no one would come take my order.
Good food at decent prices. Live music. Clean with good atmosphere. I especially love the poutine and nachos!!
Emma was so fantastic. She helped with everything we needed and to top it off..called us after we had left to let us know we forget an airpod on the table. Well enjoyed
Poor service had to wait over 20 minutes before getting any service. Only 4 or 5 table being used at the time. Bar was being served untapped
Very enjoyable visit for Dinner. Pub Style Food, and service was quick and Very Friendly.
10/10 for menu puns
Had a few beers and a good time with the guys here. Didn't quite know what to expect when we walked in but the waitress made us feel at home and the beers come in giant 32 oz Steins...a good time was had by all.
The staff are good...the serving size is good..the prices are comparable...the food just was not tasty... We ordered 'lisa' burger. The wings, the potato skins and a piece of chicken for our son... The best tasting item we thought was the fries that came with the burger.. We like to support local...but will dont think we will be back
Awesome place
If you like great tasting food, and Love bacon then eat here. The burgers are absolutely amazing.
Great food!
Enjoy it very much
The bacon poutine is extremely delicious. Great place to have lunch or dinner with friends and family. Staff are friendly.
Ate there again earlier this week and though I normally dont post reviews this time I had to. We had excellent service and the food was quick, barely any waiting. Also it came out perfectly as asked due to gf's food intolerance they kindly offered substitutions. Always enjoy the beers on tap and the burgers are by far the best in town. Will definitely be going there again and highly recommend to others. **** Reviews are based on food**** By the looks of it a few disgruntled ex employees are trying to damage credibility of business, but no fear if you continue to provide excellent food/service and good prices then they will be ignored and I always speak highly of NSP Cheers
Expensive and hard to get the right order
Awesome staff
Sat down for a few drinks before the Friday night got busy. Continued sitting for 15 minutes like we were invisible. Found a better spot called the Pub House. Go there instead.
Always a good time here! Food and drinks are great. And can't beat the service: shoutout to my server Meghan! She was very attentive and provided such friendly service the whole time. There was never a moment my water glass was half empty. Keep up the good work guys and stay safe!
Food was great
Covid restrictions finally lift so they should expect to be busy. We had a reservation for 10. The place is packed and people standing outside waiting while they have ONE waitress taking the orders AND mixing drinks while a "supervisor" walks around. I feel sorry for the waitress. Good job Emma....too bad the owners don't really care.
Good time.
The service is very friendly
Best pub fare in the area
Jam on a burger - of course why not? Tried the Jammer burger - topped with cheese, bacon, peanut butter and jam. It was delicious. All the burgers look great.
Excellent wings- great staff, great environment
Absolutely delicious food. Fun menu, and great service.
Good service
Good food, good atmosphere, friendly staff and good music. The menu items and drinks are all music puns and the portions are generous.
Visited for lunch. Need better marking or servers to mention that there is restaurant seating at the back of the building. We thought it was only the front bar area for eating. French fries and burgers were great. BLT came out dry with no mayo- with the build up in the menu, I expected a more substantial sandwich. Server said she was new, didn’t know answers to some menu questions, didn’t offer to find out until we asked her to find out. we mentioned this to her upon leaving for future. Again, French fries were very good!
Love this place, friendly staff, clean environment, great serving sizes. Head in today to say hi to the staff. Don't forget to tell them I sent you!!!
Between my wife and I, we have tried hundreds of burgers in both Canada and the US. The Jammer is without a doubt the greatest we’ve ever tasted. Everything is perfectly balanced. If you’ve ever seen the “Jellyfish Hunter” episode of Spongebob, in which he invents The Krabby Patty with Jellyfish Jelly and gets the whole town hooked on them, it’s sort of like that, minus the cruelty to wildlife. No pictures because we devoured them immediately. Will definitely be back!
Great place awesome atmosphere but the price of alchohol is very expensive compared to other bars in the area. $8.25 is a lot of money for a tall boy
Super friendly staff!
Love the experience! We went on a Sunday but was still very nice! Service was good and the food was amazing!!
Pretty decent place. I love the food.
Would not recommend going to support this business as the way the staff are treated is horrible! Lost their best server yesterday
My kid was literally tired and being not himself if he didn’t get chicken fingers, we drove to this restaurant and noticed nothing on the menu had chicken fingers... literally my kid was in tears because of it lol I asked buddy if they had any he said they don’t but he can make them!!! Lmao never had someone just whip up something random to help someone and there kid!!! Highly recommend!! Service is amazing and food was absolutely delicious!!!!
Limited menu and draft selection, nachos were good, strong grilled cheese selections. It is definitely more "pub" than "restaurant". Note, seating is almost all tall-style bar seating, I think I saw only two "normal" booths. There was live music the first time I was there (late night). Servers were great.
Went on a rainy day over the August long weekend for lunch. The place was empty likely due to the poor weather (although a family walked in right after). We were seated by the friendly waitress promptly & explained the mask rules. We had wings & poutine. Poutines come in one size & it's plentiful. I wanted leftovers to bring back to the cottage for late night eats & was certainly able to do that. Fries are clearly freshly cut, good gravy & generous real curds. Wings were great & the $1.50 cost for a side dip seems steep but it's much larger than your typical sour cream/ranch dip at other establishments. Will definitely be back to try one of those drool-worthy looking burgers!
Great food.. awesome staff!
Cold beers and poutine. Burgers look good too.
Show up at 430 I asked to sit outside, 20 minutes later I got up and left. No came to serve me, wont be returning.
The food was delicious and the service fantastic. I would go back.
Five of us went for noon breakfast but never again. The eggs were not fried properly, the bacon raw, the toast not buttered, half of us got no fries, but it was our fault because that's what we ordered ?? That's what the waitress told us. Wow what poor service!!!
I was hoping to enjoy it because the pictures and reviews are great overall. sadly wasn’t a great experience by far and it was only take out. The server didn’t acknowledge the customer at all, not one word because she was busy having a personal call on her phone. Ordered an ‘advanced’ pound of wings. Got home and it’s just wings no fries, and the wings were extremely dried out. The sauce was good but the chicken was like beef jerky .
Great food
Went last night, didn't have our reservation for the bar side, then we sat in the back for about 10 mins and nobody came to even see us, then we went into the lounge side and it took forever to get served, food took a good while and was not worth the wait what so ever. Fries were burnt yet under cooked because the fryer oil was so old, burger was not good at all, when the server came back 30 mins later, she just grabbed the dishes off the table and didn't even ask or care why there was 3 quarters of our meals still on the plate. Just disappointed all over.
Fun place if you go alone or in group
Most awesome wings in town. And burgers. Be prepared to take a doggie bag home. The portions are huge. I dont want to spoil the surprise on the burgers. Ya just gotta go check it out. You will not be disappointed.
We ordered on ValleyEats, the food I can only describe as Dollar Store quality with a 5-Star Price. My club sandwich was disgusting, and I only received half of it, the chicken was awful, soggy and absolutely tasteless. French fries and gravy were very salty, over cooked and gravy tasted like canned gravy which was way over cooked. My wifes meal was mushy, mothers cold and salty and the chicken under cooked, and my sisters no better. Overall a very expensive mess of low quality improperly cooked food.
Had the daily special of fresh perch and fries... really tasty.. only thing wasots of bones.. but great place great food.
Food was great, service was excellent. Was there for a Christmas party and I would recommend this place without hesitation.
Great food good service. Mother loves the poutine.
Great food, great service, we were a group of 20 and both waitress insured we always had booze and food to keep us happy thank you for the great night
Fantastic Poutine and burgers.
This trip the nachos were dry and the potato skins were aweful. They had no wi gms with a packed house. Previous trip food was good.
Love this place ! I have been here twice now, both for the Metal Nights on Fridays and absolutely had a blast. Not only is the sound awesome, the stage is low and intimate and the bar staff and menu make this restaurant. I love the theme, atmosphere and overall attitude. I have yet to try their food menu but that just means I get to go back ! Great local restaurant
The waitress didn't explain when ordering a pitcher of a certain beer that it was a lot more expensive than a regular beer. So I ended up spending close to $30 on ONE pitcher of beer. I was not happy. Be careful when ordering here.
Good food and good prices.
Good pint, good food and friendly service!
Every single time I've eaten here I died of old age before the food got out.I rate this place a 0/Garbage can nachos, go somewhere else. Unless your not hungry. Than it's a great place to hangout and drink beer... if the drinks ever make it to your table.
Came down here for wings night. Delicious and we'll portioned. Saw a giant plate of nachos a few tables down, will have to come back down when I am in the area again!
A nice place with an interesting layout for you to enjoy live music or a more quiet night out. Friendly staff. Enjoyed the tasty burgers and the board games.
(Updated review) In March of 2018 I reviewed The Nelson Street Pub and my experience then wasn't the greatest. A year later, in February 2019 I revisited TNSP with my wife and another couple. WOW, what a change! We had a great time and probably would have stayed longer had life's responsibilities (kid & babysitter) not intervened. We all had different burgers, all of which were beyond amazing. We had their "small" order of Trash Can Nachos and we can't recommend these enough. The variety of beer is commendable and our frosted glasses were unexpected and greatly appreciated. The 4 of us agreed to do this more often. I am genuinely looking forward to next time!
Very relaxing..Good food and enjoyable entertainment.
Cute menu, but l don't appreciate someone else salting my fries! I've been doing it by myself for years-don't need any help now
Food was awesome!!! Too bad the waitress wasn't. We asked for our bill, then waited 30 minutes. Not acceptable.
Great service, amazing atmosphere, and always bringing the best and newest menu concepts to the table!
I’m just a rando on the internet, but they really do make good burgers. Now that patios are open I’ve had a few beers here, can’t be mad at the prices and the quality of the food. But honestly the fries are the best part, if you like big soft French fries.
Good food. The trash can nachos are a must
I would have given it more stars, but I've learned that they were protecting the identity of a drunk driver that did a hit and run in their parking lot. I cannot support this establishment after that.
Take 5mins to read the menu.
Great food and drinks!
Incredible service and such a hilarious and creative menu! The food is equally as fun and delicious. If you are in the area this is a must stop destination.
Wicked nachos and the angry Lisa burger was great
Ordered through valley eats which makes meals slightly expensive. However, I ordered the Sweet Potato Trax and ended up having to throw out the entire box that same night for the following reasons: 1. Looked as though they filled the box from Trax that were sitting all day. 2. Vast majority were burnt. 3. The ones that looked okay were disgustingly hard and unedible. 4. Could not take a single bite out of one let alone, chew and swallow. Not sure if it's from the current situations within the community (covid) or if it was just an evening of pure laziness or someone having a bad day. But, when an entire meal is unedible, there really is no excuse... I would also like to point out the fact that I had to wait over a week to hear back from the restaurant which only happened when i messaged them for the second time. Very disappointed and may consider no longer eating from or at this restaurant.
Great food, decent service. Love the food puns mixed with music puns .
Food was good
It's alright I guess
Find could be better. Get away from the giminics and it would be great
Fun place. Chicken Burger was great but the tacos could have been better. Device was excellent.
Great experience
I'm so full! Good food and a good price
Fantastic wings!
clearly does not care for their customers! I've contacted them twice about a TERRIBLE experience my friends and I had a few weeks ago and it has been IGNORED just like how we were ignored when we went there
Good food, great prices
Amazing food and live bands
Good viddles
Waited for 30 minutes unattended without even being offered water. Only 3 other tables with people and at 2pm on a monday... Disappointing experience, most likley won't return.
I've never had a satisfactory meal there, but my gf seems to like the place. And now during the isolation, it's impossible to hey through to order for takeaway
Very informative staff.
Good atmosphere, great serving staff. Kitchen was a bit slow for being pretty dead. But the food was exactly what I expected.
Not a kid friendly place
Great restaurant, bar. Great service and good food.
We used to eat at the Nelson street pub all the time before the pandemic. Now after visiting and getting takeout since the pandemic more specifically after the second lockdown the quality has MASSIVELY changed. Burgers were very flavorless after the second lockdown like you changed your spices or somthing the first couple times i was there i thought maybe it was someone was having a not so good day in the kitchen but after the 5th or 6th try it seems like it was the new normal for the burgers I don't know what has been going on but it's just not the same but for the rest of the menu is great and love the mixed drinks Update the burgers were back to there former glory i got the hangerover it was delicious I hope the quality doesn't go down after this third lockdown
Cory, Rachel and Kayleigh are amazing. This place is the only place you need to see in Pembroke.
Awesome food
I Used the Valley eats app to order. The “Drop it like its hot” poutine is delicious, Best poutine place in town! I didn’t like the hot wings (they were dry and tasteless), but the parmesan wings were great l!
Amazing food, atmosphere. The staff was attentive and awesome. Great select of drinks!! Definitely going back!
I was there one time before and it was delicious!!!!! I went this time, my husband and myself found the hamburgers very dry and tasteless! Very bland and even the toppings were not warm . Best part of the meal and only way my son and i filled up was the French fries. The waitress asked how the meal was and I told her. She just said, oh, I'm sorry about that. Nothing was done to rectify the problem. Definitely won't recommend this place anymore unless something drastically changes! So sad because it was excellent yje few times we had been there before
Awesome food staff really nice
It was an awesome night. Waitress was great. ( Considering how busy it was).
Best food I have ever eaten. Friendly staff, great prices!!!
Great gastropub fare with excellent burgers and poutine (Canadian salads!) as a highlight. Service is good, they're quick to respond to concerns..
Waited 3 hours for our food (larger group but 3 hours?) one received bacon on their vegetarian burger and another after 3 hours was told "sorry we ran out of wings". Three hours!!! Worst kitchen service I have ever seen. They cost the servers some good tips tonight! Never EVER again.
Great food
Good food great service
Best burger ever!
Wow. Amazing food (nachos!), great service, fair prices. I loved my "surprise" drink too :)
Love the food and staff have only ever had one issue but they fixed it before I even left so fantastic customer service I love the build your own dessert menus
Im celiac. So I got a burger on a gluten free bun with a garden salad. I get my food. They put croutons on the salad. I have been there before and it doesnt come with croutons. I made sure and asked if the salad came with it as it could be my bad. They said no it doesnt come with it, they added it on. I understand that there is always a risk of contamination but to purposefully adding my allergie to my salad felt like it was done on purpose. Not very happy with the service. Luckily it isn't a deadly allergie but I hope they dont do that to other people.
Good time every time I go.
I enjoyed it, the burgers were delicious and meaty! We were under a cold air return though and quite chilly. The sides were put down in the fryers too soon so were cold-ish by the time they got to us, because cooking these burgers takes …
This place is a joke. Wont ever waste my money there again. Im gonna leave it at that. Just go anywhere else. ANYWHERE
Spectacular burgers!
I’ve been here three times in the last month and every time I was here the wait staff did absolutely nothing about COVID-19 restrictions. There were tables of 10+ being sat right next to my family, no spacing between our tables, drunk customers were going around without masks and the employees chatted with them at the bar without masks instead of asking them to leave or put on a mask. That table had 6 people, there were 3-4 at a time up from the table without masks walking around, no warnings from the ladies working. Good food, good music, but the complete disregard for regulations is disappointing. If you guys don’t want your establishments shut down and already complain about restrictions, I don’t really feel that sorry for your business with this kind of attitude displayed.
Love this place,,great food,service,and entertainment.
I had "The Mistress" burger, it was delicious!
Nothing interesting on tap. Food arrived cold and the only time I saw the server twice within 45 minutes was when I asked to pay my bill. Two stars because there was live music.
Food was excellent! Waitress was super! Prices were great.
Used to have good food when it opened. It is extremely slow getting your food to you, and after all that wait, it's cold and inedible. Had a moldy burger bun and was denied a full refund because I didn't send pictures of both my meals in the trash. Finally got my full refund after having to post on facebook about their moldy food.
Sketchy management when it comes to paying staff and paying local suppliers for orders.
Delicious food, drinks are very pricey though.
Service was great and very good food
What's worse their bland flavorless food, or the fact that I was served burnt ground beef?
Wonderful atmosphere and great service.
