Reviews of Bancroft Brew Pub (Restaurant)

David Vick

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

Kaleb Smith

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

Ethan Harris

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

jen mchugh

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

Glenn Attridge

Can't go wrong with fish and chips on Fridays. Huge portion, very tasty to enjoy with a pint.

Angus Cook

Nice enough place. Didn't try the beer. Food was good, server was pleasant.

Luca Continanza

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

Brandon Hiraeth

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

Tim Janzen

Great selection of food and drinks and a good atmosphere.

Elizabeth Kingsbury

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

Lowkey 83

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

Kevin Campbell

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

Dan Koehler

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

Nikki Griffin

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

Lorrie Ann Reid

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

Liz Johnson

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

Daniel Morton

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

Max. M. kalin

Nice feeling good service traditional food. Lovely surprise.

Nathaniel Smith

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

Anirban Chowdhury

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

Bruce Shields

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

Paulina S

Another gem. We have been coming to Bancroft for years. But we never stopped in. Well, this time we did and were we glad?! Food was amazing and the Ceasars fabulous ????. Montreal meat on rye, brukrew chicken(my fave),steak w mashed potatoes …

Dave O'Brien

Amazing food and service! Just look at that burger!

Will Nut

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

Art Zombie

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

Keith Wilson

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

Dawn Rozell

Beer was cold and food was hot and tasty.

Alex H

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

Henry Troup

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

Doug Maitland

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

Adam Surinskis

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

Angela Greavette

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

ADELE MITCHELL

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

Daniel Ferdinand (WingManDan)

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

Cam Forbes

Great food, awesome beer and super staff.

Mark Beardmore

Good food...great beer

Bryanna Sweet

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

Katelyn Hines

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

Aaron Horton

Amazing! The beer was delicious and the food was excellent! I had their take on a club house and it was fantastic! House fries were on point also! My partner's fish & chips was equally good! Amazing, perfectly crispy, batter. …

Andrew Gordon

Super friendly local place. Great food very accommodating!

Troy Dettwiler

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

Scott Sheppard

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

Lisa Binnie

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

Sandra Corbeil

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

K LaRoche

Goof food friendly staff, nice clean washrooms

Richard Warren

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

Dawn Dawson

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

Genny Hoskin

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

Van Kumar

Very good food along with the ambience

Joe Theriault

Service and food was great.

Jesse Black-Allen (Leading Edge English)

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

Bob Mckeown

Great lunch and enjoyed Bancroft craft neer

Cynthia C

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

Elaine Greaves - Holloway

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

Eric Gilmour

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

Eduardo Andrade

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

Natasza O-Feick

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

Tara Whelan

Loved the Greek salad

Megan S.

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

Dave Lloyd

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

Christian Labrèche

Good food and awesome beer.

Simon Ginsberg

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

tyler hill

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

Avin salimi

we went there last year and we stoped by just because we were hangry ???? buuuuut i will never forget the food omg the fish and chips????‍♀️god that was the best fish and chips that i have ever tasted in my life. price was very good customer service was the best. we live in toronto but we would go there for sure only for the food????

Greg Snow

Beer's really good, food is okay.

Paul Cavanagh

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

Mike P

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

Aaron Sambey

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

Tracie Watson

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

Katelyn “kurtlurn28” F

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

Jim Adams

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

Valerie D

Amazing friendly service. Highly recommend trying the nachos!

Test acct

Great place to check out if in the area

Deb McLean

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

Alannah Stone

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

bart sim

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

Dack Blog

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

Sue F

Friendly service, good food, good beer!

Amanda Meaney

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

Mike Sutherland

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

Aj

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

Patrick Armstrong

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

Wanna go For a rip bud

Ordered wings , bruschetta, and pints. Great place great staff. Very clean with amazing beer on tap. Go there if you get the chance . You will not be disappointed.

gary wain

Great food and great service, freindly staff. Best place in Bancroft for a brew! Busy corner, so you will see lots of action.

William Henderson

Trev K

Great food and great service. Nice place to stop in for a Sunday lunch and a local beer. Thanks for having us!

Nicole C

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

Heather Provost

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

Paula Uyenaka

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

Darlene Jennings

Forgot my salad dressing and fish and chips were soggy

Al

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

David L

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

D M

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

Sean Burgess

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

Ernie Silhanek

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

Adam Weir

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

Clark Ruttle

Great food, great staff= great dinning experience

Barbara R

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

Mike H

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

Grace Bugg

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

Kevin Marshall

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

Tammy Tully

As per usual always great food and atmosphere.

Joe Neto

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

Tee Pee

The food here is unbelievable. The portions are huge. The wings are the best I have ever had....hands down.....it takes a while to get seated...but trust me the food is worth the wait...service was fast too considering the crowd....try the …

Bernie Evenden

Great service and delicious food! Definitely our main go to for a great meal!!

Jared

Great food and beer selection at good prices - amazing patio right on the corner of the main drag

Jesse jmg

Love this place! Awesome atmosphere and the food/drinks are great.

Olga Tsubiks

This place has a nice vibe. It is located at a historical building. They do have a patio to keep visitors warm.

VTom650

Enjoyed a nice lunch on the patio. Food was good, service was friendly and accommodating. I will definitely go again.

Melanie Gillespie

Great food and great service. There was nine of us. And they were super accommodating.

Ryan

My partner and I stopped in for a bite to eat and were impressed. We went in not knowing what to expect but glad we made the stop. …

Don Stewart

Great dinner. All the family was happy even the dog. They brought him a bowl of water.

Gloria Lutz

Had a party of 8. Efficient friendly servers. Beer and ale were awesome. Food was great: hot, fresh, generous portions.

Art Sutherland

Friendly staff, great food and even better beer. And the best part is, you can take your favorite brews home with you ????????????

Julia Reesor

Love dining inside or on the patio. Food and beer is excellent and service friendly.

Derek Hetherington

Good food, Great service. Fish n chips A1!

Caitlin Ardley

Excellent food and service! Love the chicken wings!!

Anonymous Person

Absolutely fantastic! The food was amazing! The flavor as we savoured each morsel left us craving the next bite. The portions as well we're better than expected. Without a doubt I will definitely return for more of this wonderful place. …

Kerry Fordham

Good pub food. The service was great considering there were only two service people and bartender in a very busy resto in a small town.

Luis Vidal

With the exception of one server, everyone seemed upset and unfriendly, food was ok but overpriced. I would not recommend it.

Penny Needham

Was great food! Great service! Cold beer!! COVID protocol absolutely above all. They ask your name and phone number. They take your temperature, ask where you are from!! Tables spaced out. What a great experience!! Thank you for all you do to keep us all safe and healthy!!

Nick Bourne

The staff is wonderful. Clearly very hard working and trying to do the best under crazy circumstances of patio only and take out. The wings, which is what we had, need work. For a classic pub food, very disappointing. The so called ghost wing sauce lacks ghost peppers and spice, the hot is mild at best by any standards even if u try to throw in catering to non spicy eating touristy audience. The recipe as well could improve, when an air fryer can produce better tasting wings, marinate and salt might help.

HighTech Hillbilly

Stopped in after our ATV Charity ride and had the best Grill Cheese Sammy ever! Paired with a Blonde Lady craft beer.... Booooom we have a winner! I will get this again

Suzie kane

my first experience here was okay. In June 2019 my mom and so I spent an evening enjoying chicken wings and beverages. It was good. Customer service could’ve been more attentive but food & prices were fair. Today (09/26/20) I called to see if they were accepting reservations. She said yes, but she couldn’t promise patio. That’s fine, but she kept saying “good luck” as if that was an impossible and irrational request. Sorry? She never took my name or number down, either. Safe to say we didn’t even bother. Good food and experience(last summer) but the service over the phone was so rude and dismissive today I didn’t want to even go. Dave’s Place down the road is always happy to see us (we come from far out of town) and I regret ever giving business here over Dave’s.
