Congratulations to the management and staff of Dragonboat Pub for their attention to decorating the pub and surrounding grounds with whatever fits the holiday/season. From Easter to Thanksgiving, Canada Day and Christmas, it is always pleasant looking, and quietly tasty. Please keep up the good standard, a great place for a cool beer or hot coffee, the food menu is most appealing.

Great water front pub. Good beer, great service. The dry ribs were anything but. Greasy, soggy, fatty. Will get something different next time we visit. Looking forward to the patio in the summer.

The bar manager was rude and not friendly to newcomers. First time there and now I have a bad impression.
The servers were nice but the overall experience was ruined. Can not recommend it.

Excellent contender against the Barking Parrot. Patio's nice, even if you're not by the water and the inside has a nice feel too

I'm surprised at the high ratings, when you read through the reviews, many of them say the exact same things I am, but give 5 stars anyway. Presumably because it's a beautiful location, but so is the entire beach! Talk about a location that can't fail, I'm not sure they'd still be open if it wasn't for the view. Alas, the beach is not what I'm paying for at the restaurant, and saying "the food isn't good but it's a nice place, 5 stars" won't inspire these guys to make better food.
Anyway. Nice looking little place, friendly staff, but food that is on par with or worse than Match, which I didn't think was possible from a non-chain location. Or in general, actually. Rock hard and dry fries, very dry pork, very dry quesadillas. I go at supper time, so not too sure why things are consistently dry or seem like they may have been cooked hours earlier. I did not have to wait hours, that issue appears to have been fixed, and the food came out both so quickly and badly that if you told me it was indeed cooked hours before and then just microwaved, I would believe you. If you told me none of it was made in house, and it all showed up as frozen stuff in a Sisco truck before being "pre-made" and then microwaved again for me hours later, I'd also believe you.
The sparse veg components were pretty good, which was almost off-putting - no flavour in the rest of the Sahara dry food, then you bite a pepper and get a mouth full of taste and juice and it's just a weird contrast. Makes you wonder why everything else was so bad. Pricing was pretty average for Pen.
It wasn't outright terrible, but it was pretty close. Been there twice. I'll likely try a third time as it's across from my house, but thus far, it's tasted more like stuff you'd get out of a freezer section that was then badly warmed up than an actual restaurant meal, and I doubt I'll go 4 times. There is nothing here you can't get a better version of at the Barley Mill or Shaugnassy's Cove, or basically anywhere else.

The Dragon boat pub is a great place to hang out and the service is above and beyond. The location on Skaha lake can not be beat, the food is tasty and they have a great happy hour and a free out door pool table, over looking the lake. We went back the next day and our waiter Justin from the day before remembered it was my birthday, and he suprised us with a shot each, now thats great service !!

Our server, Mckenzie, was fantastic. I had pulled pork tacos, and they were great. My wife had chicken quesadillas, but she said she would not order them again because the dough was dry, and she didn't care for the ingredients that were in there. There were a lot of people in there, and all the servers were moving like crazy in a very coordinated way. It looked very nice to see how organized it was. Besides McKenzie, being a fantastic server. Another server caught my attention as well. Her name was Spring, and what caught my attention about her was how perfectly postured she was while she was doing her tasks. Sorry about the couple of bites that I had taken from my taco before I remembered to take a picture.
Great atmosphere, service and food. Fun upbeat place.

Awesome place for some great food and beer. Servers were pleasant! Food was fabulous and the fresh apple pear pie is to die for. I don’t bang out 5 stars too often but this place deserves it! People keep your dogs at home ffs. This isn’t a boarding kennel ?Highly recommend!

We were on the water yesterday and called in to see if they could accommodate our boat to park for dinner. We were told yes and so we preceded to the restaurant. When we arrived we were told that the kitchen was behind and the wait for our food would be about an hour. We agreed and were seated. We were seated on the patio as we had our dog with us. We ordered our drinks and food together, hoping to expedite our meal. We received our drinks. At the 2 hour mark we received our appetizer. As the evening progressed we asked if we could have the heaters on because we were all cold. No propane. We were given blankets, but we were at 2 1/2 hours now waiting for our meal so this didn’t really help. There were several tables in the same situation as we were. We asked our server the status of our order yet again and we were told it was cooking so it would be out shortly. We told her we were in a boat and it was getting dark so anymore waiting wasn’t an option. After 10 more minutes we went in and asked for the manager, who came to us with a chip on his shoulder telling us they were busy and if we wanted our dinner he needed to go back to the kitchen to help. We told him to go back to the kitchen and wrap our food to go because we weren’t waiting anymore. No food to wrap up to go. After 3 hours!!!! We tipped the server, and told the manger, who was in a loud conversation with another angry customer, that he could handle our bill. My husband was told, “ya no worries man, I got ya”. No apology no nothing. And as we left hungry they were still seating groups of people! There are too many examples of things that happen that were miss management of time by staff and especially management to explain. The manger needed to support his servers or the excess servers needed to support the kitchen. At any rate, they had no business taking more tables when they were having the complete implosion that they were having. Awful!! We will most definitely never be back. I will NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone.
