Reviews of The County Canteen (Night Club)

Matt Lovelady

I cannot say enough good things. We had purchased their Thanksgiving meal and there was a slight issue. I called and it was rectified in a matter of seconds and they went over and above. Thank you so much.

Hilary Conybeare Marsh

Certified carnivore and I love the Ameliasburgher, and not just for the pun. Basically their entire burger/sandwich menu is unbeatable in the county. Their tacos come in threes and are massive. Would get drunk here every night for the rest of my life 10/10

The Khao San Road wings and the Sticky Teriyaki ribs are the best I have tasted! Totally worth the drive from Toronto. They have an inhouse made bbq sauce that should be sold for profit! The pretzel was disappointing tho. Was not fresh and the cheese dressing lacked flavour.

Throw out all the reviews prior to October 2020! This place is the best. Totally cool staff, great food, amazing owners. We were there for a couple days and changed our whole schedule so that we could get there for more!! Best nachos in years, succulent brisket and super fun rueben egg rolls. Run, don’t walk, to County Canteen next time you’re anywhere near!!

Service may have been the best to date. Food was beyond expectations, would recommend in a heart beat. Atmosphere very comforting.

Quaint little place in Picton Ontario. The ribs were delicious! Highly recommend ????????

Maureen Linehan

We were told this was the happening place in town. Friendly staff, live music and great food. Sounds happening p me. There is seating on the patio, complete with overhead heaters and blankets for chilly evenings. Lots of beers on tap, both local and other Ontario craft brews and of course local wines. They have sharing plates as well as a full dinnet menu. The dinner menu is perfect, no endless pages of options but basic dishes with twists. Something for everyone. After a day of wines and craft beers, we changed it up and enjoyed some whiskies and the brewers plate. Fun, cozy and friendly atmosphere. Popular with locals. We enjoyed the live solo music show. Definitely worth a stop.

We really enjoyed our meal of Fish and Chips plus a flight of beer. The fish and chips were really good. Our beers were choosen based on our likes and they were a good selection. Cute decor

The meal I had with family was simply unbelievable. It was probably the first meal I’ve had with family where everyone tried each other’s meals because of how good everyone felt their dish was. Even my Dad who never shares or tries others’ meals, did with everyone’s. The service was quick and extremely friendly, and the cost of the meal was very reasonable. Highly recommend.

David Wiseman

Since this is my review I'm giving 4stars. If my GF was reviewing would be 5 stars. Service was great; beer on tap exceptional; my only suggestion would be not to have the wrap, absolutely no flavour. My GF highly recommends the fish tacos.

Tom Houston

We had the fish and chips and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice atmosphere and you can sit on main St.

Mich Yip

My husband and I went on Canada Day, and they only have around 6 tables available on their patio. The wait was around 25mins. They call you when your seat is ready. The service was good, and the waiters are friendly, but the food is mediocre. The fish we had had great batter, crispy and light, but it wasn't seasoned, it was quite bland. The fried chicken sandwich was the same, the batter's texture was good though. The fries were descent. Pricing was okay.

Terry Morton

The staff here are top notch. Excellent table side manners, attentive and kind. The food is fantastic.

Jenna Chaplin

Very good food and service. 2-stars subtracted as every restaurant should know by now that if you're going to serve decent red wine (Closson Chase Pinot Noir, for example) you've got to keep it cool (maybe 17C) and not leave out to get warm and serve it at whatever the outside temperature is, like 25C yesterday, which ruins it. Please would you do this?

Mark K

A yummy stop in a cute town. Nothing topped our two cheesy appetizers: the artichoke spinach dip and the French onion soup. Both were stretchy cheesy goodness, especially the dip. The mains were nice as well: yummy falafel, great beets, and a nice daal. Friendly service and great local stuff on tap (not to mention beer cocktails?!?!). I'd definitely make the trip back.

Juan Serrano

Decent restaurant, good service. Get the burger.

Zachery Wells

I was really surprised with the broad selection of great Ontario beers. Over 20 taps on the go, with a wide range of styles. Our server (Angus) , and was quite knowledgeable and very attentive. We were on their patio, and as it was cold, were only one of two tables out there. Nonetheless, even though the inside was packed, we were never with an empty glass. We will definitely be back!

Simon Pushelberg

The wollenburger is juicy and served with very fresh greens as well as some of the best fries I’ve had. Service was great and complementary to sitting on the patio

Mark Fernando

Visited this restaurant with a larger motorcycle group. The staff was curtious and helpful and setup a large table for us on the patio. They took our orders promptly, and the service was quick. Had fish tacos and they were delicious with a good portion size. Would recommend.

Samantha Auton

Easily some of the best food and service I've ever had. Had the fish and chips and my fiance had the brisket sandwich and both were to die for. Next time we come to PEC, this will be a regular stop!

Alexandra Belloy-Poudrette

The food was amazing, as were the drinks. The service was quick and on point. They take your number if they don't have a table right away so you can continue strolling around and they'll give you a call. We had their ribs and fish tacos - amazing!!

sHeRRy LiN

Very nice atmosphere. The food was great. Server was very attentive. Would have drank if we didn't have to drive. Will definitely come back!

Anna Vizza

This place has a really good vibe and ambiance, but I didn’t have the best experience because of one insensitive and condescending waitress. I’m a newly diagnosed Celiac and after asking a few questions, I quickly realized that the only food option for me was limited to one item on the menu- nachos. Her reply to me was, “that sucks” and compared me to her friend who apparently can eat more options on the menu and be ok. My biggest criticism would be for the staff to be more informed on the critical nature for a Celiac in avoiding gluten, that it’s not a choice but necessary, and to be more helpful and understanding when offering safe options for anyone with food allergies.

Olaf de Winter

The County Canteen was great. The staff are friendly and courteous without being overly present, the beer, cider, and wine selection is very varied, and the food was tremendously delicious. Not overly refined, generous portions, well seasoned and intelligently crafted food. If I was lucky enough to come to Picton more often, they would know me by name.

Kari Q.

Great fish tacos ???? Amazing staff and service. ????????

Peter Kambasis

Great food stop after visiting the Sandbanks. Really good pub food with small twists. Try the wings. They're pretty awesome. Shout out to Rachel for the great service.

Ralf Winter

Wow. Fabulous pulled pork sandwich & black bean burger with fries. Large portions and very reasonably priced. Plenty of craft brews ???? on tap to quench your thirst. Very friendly and accommodating staff, that follows all Covid protocols.

Michelle D'Souza

Great experience! Our server was awesome and spent some time giving us recommendations for things to do around town. The food was tasty as well! I had the fish tacos for dinner.

Karl M Wulf

Great staff. Very hospitable. Must have the Smoked Brisket on a bun. Delicious double deep fried fries. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

Jason Morsink

We did take out due to the line up for a table, given the Covid restrictions. Excellent food. And especially tasty considering we had to drive with it first. Even the salmon on the summer salad was perfectly cooked (still pink inside)!

Lynda N

Came here with a few friends during our little trip to PEC. Most of us got the fish/tacos and the wholly burger. Great portions given out and food was tasty. The fish was a bit flavourless. Was tasty with the tartar sauce and spicy mayo. Fries were nice and crisp. Good selection of craft beer on tap. Decent prices for what you’re getting. Service was fine. Our waiter was friendly.

Jen Noziglia

Staff is always so nice and friendly whenever we go in, which is about 2 times a week. The appetizers are amazing. Always love the Ruben egg rolls.. sooo good!!! Only thing I would suggest is that they keep a supply of milk on hand for when I come in. ????

Tazneem Hussain

The food and service was top notch.

CY Siu

Good selection of standard Canadian food mixed with one or two thai/viet infused food. There's a good size menu that doesn't overwhelm. It does get busy here and meals range from $14-20 dependent on what you get.

Jennifer Litke

Not only do they have a fabulous space ..they have a great assortment of local wines, beers and spirits along with other favourites. They have a creative assortment of cocktails, their food is to die for (beer battered fish and chips, and the Wollenburger is the best thing ever...my mouth is watering now just typing this.) The servers are wonderful, very attentive, and this location is always in demand, for good reason. Go expecting to wait a bit, but it's worth the wait....every time.

Craig Lindsay

Great local beers on tap. Huge sandwiches and burgers. Loved the brisket and fries.

Mike Plesko

Very good selection for beers, amazing variation on the nightlife in Picton (live music quite a few evenings). The menu is simple and has some flavourful options on it. I've had the wings twice, and they haven't really blown me away. While having good flavours the wings themselves are too big for my liking. Their nachos are delicious, as is their cheesy bread. Definitely hoping to return to try some of their daily specials. Be sure to try the homemade sauces they have available.

William Nielsen

This restaurant looks nice, and inviting from the outside. It was nice inside, and had a great atmosphere. All the staff were very friendly, and attentive. Best service I have had anywhere in a long time. We ordered the Wollenburger, and the Lobster Sandwich. Both came with fries. The food was delicious. The meals were hot and all ingredients were fresh. There was a house special ketchup served with it, which was incredible. They played great music the whole time I was there. A variety of people were there, from couples, to families, and people at the bar. If you're in Picton, this is definitely the place you should go to eat.

Phil Kidd

Great food and service. If you're looking to eat here during peak season then show up 30-45 minutes before your intended chow down time, as there is usually a wait list! Bean hummus was delicious with their fresh baguette ????.

Lloyd Graham

Early evening dinner. Friendly happy staff. Good portions. Good pricing.

Sherry Migliaccio

Delicious food. Great craft beer. Friendly servers n

Candace Battig

Great Food and an awesome local beverage list. Lots of local beer and cider on tap and a great selection of local wine. All their dishes are delicious, you can't go wrong no matter what you choose!

Mike Hart

First time visitor last Wednesday which happened to coincide with their burger specials, which as it turned out led to myself and my partner eating the best burgers we've had in a long time!! It was their take on a Big Mac and I'm sorry McDonalds but you lose!!! Highly recommend this place, good food, good cider and a good ambience, will definitely be returning.

Lara Bednarz

Amazing food and generous portions...Great cocktails too! Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. One of my favourites in Picton!

Anita Barnes

Nice to be back after the were closed for a bit. Love the new menu & appreciate the vegetarian & vegan options. Friendly service, cozy atmosphere & delicious food!

Faith Hunt

Atmosphere is great, the service was wonderful too! Servers were sweet, and we got our drinks and food quite fast. Poutine and Caesar salads there are 10/10. Highly recommend!

J Stob

We ate there on a Sunday night and the food was excellent! High quality and generous portions. We had the Greek salad, fish tacos and a wagu loyalist hamburger delicious! The staff were very friendly and gave us tips what to do in November during the off season! We will definitely be back!

Theresa Custodio

Burgers and tacos was delicious. Beer selection pretty good. We go back.

Nelson Seto

There are different activities almost every day of the week. So there should good ambiance most of the time. The food is good. They are very generous with their ribs. You won't walk out of there hungry after eating that. The service is friendly and efficient. We sat at the bar and had a very good time. Great place to be at if you pass info by the area. The prices are also very reasonable. Cheers to the staff!

Erica Park

We had a really lovely lunch here today! We ordered the fish tacos and the burger special (their version of a Big Mac) and both were really delicious. The portions are quite large! The service was great. I would come back again!

Alyssa B

We visited The County Canteen on a whim while exploring the lovely town of Picton and wow were we ever impressed! Not only were the food portions large and filling but the food itself was top notch! The cozy atmosphere, and perfect people watching patio was a nice touch as well. We will be returning for sure!

Shauna Price

Got take out from here two times when I visited Picton - both times were amazing! Fresh food, great flavours, good portions, awesome service.

Denis Roy

Great service and amazing food. Staff will deliver extra tarter sauce if you ask. Started with a greek salad and everything tasted fresh like it was just picked. Fish tacos and fish and chips are made from the same batter but are treated differently on the plate. I put some of my coleslaw on the the tacos and they were divine. Three Dog red wine that my server suggested hit the spot. Because of our server we’re now making visit to said winery. The best way to describe the wine is: “Waking up on Christmas morning at 5 years old and learning that the gifts are all mine!”

keegan Stacey

I never write poor reviews but I felt compelled to say something after the terrible service we just experienced. Arrived at 8:30, hostess immediately dismissed us and told us that the kitchen was closing, even though we arrived an hour and a half before closing. We were told that they had no tables left even though there were two empty tables on the patio in plain sight (we know these tables weren't reserved as we called earlier and were told that they don't take reservations). We left and walked down the street for a couple minutes, turned around and walked passed the restaurant again to head home and saw two other couples being seated. My wife made a comment to the waitress who couldn't give us a good explanation as to why they seated these couples and refused to seat us. It was clear that they just didn't want us there for whatever reason. Honestly, just a really, really upsetting experience.

Erick Thurston

Went for a couple drinks with my wife and we had a great time. Staff was friendly, drinks were cold and they had all the right rules implemented when it comes to the new reality we're all adjusting to in 2020. I've had the food here previously and it's phenomenal (kitchen was closed when we visited this time). The Canteen is absolutely worthy of a visit if you're in the area! Edit 03/13/21 - went back and had an identical experience except the food was even better. The Walt Burger is the tastiest thing I've ever eaten, ever. I am now of the opinion this is the best "all around" place to eat and drink in the County.

Janet Mathiasen

So delicious, too busy I forgot to take a picture of our yummy dinner! Excellent service too!

Julien Laurent

Great food and service. We had a nice dinner with friends

Stephanie Tisdale

Went to try them for the first time, made sure I called ahead, made sure there was no wait time for takeaway orders. I was assured that there was no wait time for takeaway orders. I show up to pay after my day at work, they don't even have my order. Got to walk away with no dinner. Very disappointing first experience with them. Won't be back.

Remington Pringle

It is a great place to eat when dining in and usually great service and good atmosphere, but it is a very small dining area so it seems quite busy, however, On a side note tho they say they offer takeout on their website, however their often too busy with their dine-in customers.

Maggie L.

We had a Greek salad and fish and chips. Great service. Food was excellent, my husband said the Greek salad with the vinaigrette was the best he has ever had! Fish and chips was fresh, hot and crispy. Reasonable priced as well. Will definitely go back.

Jeff Kent

A good place in downtown Picton. The food is standard pub fare and the service is friendly. They seem to still be figuring out the new COVID world rules, but overall a pleasant evening. They have a nice little outdoor area for the warmer weather.

Bil Rash

First and last time I will eat here. My family and I were from out of town visiting sandbanks and came across this restaurant due to its high google ratings and repetition. The greeter was able to seat us fast on arrival but the waiter didn’t approach or ask if we needed drinks till about 15 minutes of us looking at the menu. We ordered the nachos with sour cream for starters and it was decent. The taste was good but the presentation was messy. I ordered the woolenburger meal...Which arrived shortly after the nachos... And it was red from the inside. As someone who is not a local here, I did not know that is how they normally serve their burgers. Personally I like my burgers well done but that should’ve been the waiters job to tell me that it would be medium well from the inside before they brought it out. The patty was NOT seasoned at all. Tasted like nothing when I was chewing it and again the texture was off since it was medium well. The fries were okay to say the least and were over done , mostly burnt. Will I come back? FAT No.

Mark Nusko

Went here for countylicious, they had an Aussie inspired menu. And crikey was it good! I've had kangaroo sausage before, it's usually dry, but these were cooked perfectly! Not dry at all. And my wife had the lamb burger, again. Wonderful.

Cynthia Hoy

Menu is very limited with many deep fried items. Starters almost the same price as mains. Service was adequate. Seating arrangements nice but outdoor bars stools uncomfortable. Bar items expensive. Good COVID protocols.

Paws 4 Mommy

We visited this restaurant today. It was a busy day for them! However, we were seated quickly and treated respectfully (I have a certified Service Dog for PTSD). I have celiac disease and asked the server what was safe for me and he indicated the Yalla Bowl. However, on their online menu they do say that the fries and nachos are gluten free, but this is only if you aren't celiac, so just a heads up. It was delicious. We would definitely come back.

Sin Jaz

Sadly the food here was disappointing. Service was good and the food didn’t take too long to come out, fries and garlic aioli were the only good part of the meal. It’s the only place open a bit later that I was able to find but the burgers we got were not good, I wouldn’t recommend the fried chicken sandwich or black bean burger. Everything lacked flavour and was mediocre at best.

Hind Lawrence

Really nice place, good service and nice atmosphere. Food looks great. I ordered the Yalla Bowl and I wouldn’t recommend it! Other menu items looked great.

Annabel Kay

We went there on Saturday afternoon around 5.30 pm ,it was 5 min wait for setup and cleaning, we ordered appetizers and drink ???????????? ,service was amazing, it's our 2nd time. Thank you for amazing service ????????

M Falcone

We waited for about 20-30 mins for a table (after double checking with the hostess that the veggie burger was vegan), only to be told by the waiter that the bun contained egg. They have no vegan options on the menu at all, so we just left. Disappointing.

K FC

Very poor service. I got there at 7h45pm on a Sunday but the waitress said the kitchen was already closed (even if the closing hours is 09pm) more than an hour before??! She said the kitchen had turned off the oil already. It was very disrespectful, I got there from Sandbanks following a recommendation from another restaurant.
