The Lions Head Smoke & Brew Pub

Pretty disappointed. Just moved to the area and thought we would give it a try. Had the fajita bowl which was essentially brown wilted lettuce with some reheated old rice and veggies thrown on. The waitress never checked on us to ask is if everything was ok or needed more water. Won’t be going back.

This place was awesome. The waitress was a gem honestly. She created her own conction of beers for us and was just amazing overall. The food was terrific. Cant wait to go back!

This place is a gem! $5 happy hour pints! Yummy food and very pleasant staff. The ambiance is awesome and definitely warrants a visit. Kid friendly.

Fantastic meat lovers dish, and great beer!!!

First pub I've entered that smelled of food rather than stale beer!

Used to be really good, sadly food not what it used to be, still have the odd good beer, but mostly fruit based now, not proper beer. Could and should do better, don’t go for the food! Staff are great, not their thought, owners just don’t care anymore👎

I don't drink anymore but will frequent this pub frequently for its delicious food and its comforting atmosphere.. it feels like an extended living-room walking in because it feels so "homey".

The service is always impeccable from start to finish despite how busy it can be. Our usual server, Beya or Baya (my apologies on the spelling), is always on her A-Game it seems. Attentive, well versed on the menu (food and drink), laid back yet still professional, and overall a great addition to the team. The other servers we've met over time, Kerri and Echo especially, are always accommodating and equally as lovely to be served by. These ladies in particular always go the extra mile and as an ex-server, I always appreciate the efforts they put in so thank you personally.

The food is affordable, well portioned and always bursting with flavour. Never had a bad experience with anything at our table, I've even looked over at other tables and basically window shopped to see what I'll try next time. One of the gentleman in the back, Scotty, I personally wanna give a shout out to since he's frequently working and find myself with a pleasantly full belly when he is. My personal favs are the pickle chips and the Pulled pork.. but will excitedly try other things on the menu just for the creative spin they have on their items.

I cannot recommend this place enough! Fresh, friendly, and fun... you cannot find a better combination around these neck of the woods. Even though we are in the colder season, I always thought so highly of them for letting dogs on the patio to make sure patrons can enjoy their experience without risking their pets health in a hot vehicle.

If you made it this far, thanks for reading but take some time to look at their menu, address, and go enjoy it yourself <3 !

Club house sandwich with fries

Bacon burger with Brie
Large burger, Very filling,
fries taste very fresh

My dish was little bit late coming out, so I was offered a free drink on the house, that was well worth that wait. Thank you!

The dilly fries and pulled pork sandwich fulfilled all my dreams and more. The pints were cold and the service was awesome. Would highly recommend and will be returning. Thanks for the delicious lunch:)

Delicious smoked pork ribs, one dish enough for 2 people 😋. Place needs more attention to cleanliness. #food #foodie #ribs #pork #restaurant #cleanliness

This place has changed! Do not go there. They used to offer interesting menu items with great food quality. Not any more. In Sept 2024 I ordered a Greek feature special with chicken skewers, salad & tzatziki. Even talked to the waitress about the tzatziki. The chicken was shocking! Appeared to have been cooked several days ago and mildly reheated. It would have been warmer if it was sitting in a sunny window. Informed after a long wait that the cook dropped the tub of tzatziki on the floor YESTERDAY and was making more. None came. I used the remnants of the salad dressing to reconstitute the dry, cardboard chicken. The service was average and the waitress never followed up to ask if we had everything, etc. We drove 45 mins for a day out with lunch. All they served was disappointment.
