Great atmosphere, I wasn't impressed with the so called steak sandwich, very very thin cut, definitely not worth what they ask for,

This was my first time eating at Kouri's Pub, I was meeting a couple friends there. My first thought was how cool this place looked. Absolutely love the indoor/ outdoor fire pit, all the seating and the fact that you could practically be outside and still be covered. I was really impressed with the whole layout of the restaurant on the outdoors. The inside was nice, though I thought it was quite dark and most of the lighting was kind of red tinted. I was surprised it was that dark for it being around 1:00 in the afternoon so I was glad that we chose to sit outside. I included some pictures of the inside and lighten them so you could see what the room looked like.
There weren't many people there, 2 couples when we walked in and then three more sets of people came in after we ordered. There was still plenty of seating and it was a beautiful day!
I ordered the chicken sandwich and my friends both ordered the chicken strip baskets. The sandwich meals only come with chips, if you want to get french fries it's a $4 upgrade. The chicken strips came with french fries so I just tasted a few of theirs.
I don't really try to write negative reviews so I look at it as a way of helping. My honest review of the sandwich is good... it was tasty and not too chewy although lacking flavor. The chicken strips were actually a bit tough as if they were overcooked and also lacking flavor. Honestly, they tasted just a little bit scalded on the outside as if there wasn't enough breading so they tasted a bit rubbery. The french fries, also lacking flavor, I don't think they use any seasoning on them, I'd love to see some sort of a Cajun seasoning in the future, I think that would be really popular. All around I mean the meal was okay, the service was good but I think that adding some seasonings to the mix would definitely shake things up a bit.
Again, I absolutely love the layout of the restaurant the whole outdoor seating is just absolutely beautiful so 10 stars on that one! I'm honestly not sure if I will return but if I do I'll come back and update my review. Have a great day!

Do NOT eat here! The service is absolutely terrible and the manager (who introduced himself as Ben) and our server, who told me she wouldn’t give me her name, was rude and not accommodating at all.

We ordered the Ribeye sandwich and it came well done and was extremely tough to eat. I expressed my concern to our waitress, and the manager, who stated that’s how they cook it and were unable to cook it any other way due to the meat being too thin. They stated we could not get a refund and offered a drink instead which didn’t make sense - if you can offer free liquor, you can take the sandwich off. I expressed how we’ve never been here and was unaware of their policy of cooking all the meat to the same temperature. We even stated we wanted the meat medium well and the server didn’t inform us when ordering that they weren’t able to meet our request. I explained that we aren’t from here and they still wasn’t willing to take it off. Disappointing experience to our Saturday night.

Waitress Leah was amazing!! Super funny, super sweet. Came here many times before and her service doesn’t compare. She was fast, kind, helpful. Drinks tasted wonderful and sitting by the bar is always hit.

Great place to eat and have a couple drinks. However, the man working the bar with the bald head wasn’t really friendly. He didn’t greet my friend or I. He was pretty much ignoring us.

Great sports bar with standard bar fare. The Chicken Tortilla soup was a standout.

Fix the flickering lights guys!!!

5 years ago I came her with my gf on our first date so we have been back solely for the sentimental value a handful of times over 5 years

Walk into the patio the fires lit, smells like 1000 citronella candles burning for some reason

So we opt for the dining room, the lights flicker so much it almost gives you a headache

Order 2 burgers and fries (fries are an upcharge) the food comes out with no seasoning at all. Not good at all especially for 15 collars for a single 1/3 lb burger and fries.

Bloody Mary was pretty good but was 6.50

They also sent the burger out with pickle took it back and after 5 long minutes it comes back still with pickle juice on it, the pickle touching stuff isn't a big deal but why did you keep it for 5 min? Gf could have flicked the pickles off herself instead of waiting.

20 bucks a person for mildly ok burger and ok fries and a single decent bloody Mary is terrible. This place clearly doesn't care about it's customers.

Seriously FIX THE FLICKERING LIGHTS IF ITS 20 BUCKS FOR BURGER AND FRIES COME ON NOW
