“Ernie’s Cookhouse in Hespeler Village absolutely knocked it out of the park! I ordered the Pulled Pork Macaroni, and as someone who’s had their fair share of Southern BBQ, including my all-time fave at Moe’s in Mobile, Alabama, I can honestly say Ernie’s version is even better. It’s smoky, cheesy, and everything comfort food should be. My partner had the Montreal Smoked Sandwich special and was blown away by the generous portion size. We both left with full bellies and full takeout containers, which is always a win. We couldn’t resist taking home an entire Coconut Cream Pie. It’s hands-down the best Coconut Cream Pie I’ve ever had in Southern Ontario (possibly the world, but let’s not start a pie war). Joel Cook, the owner, deserves his own 5 stars. He’s not only serving up amazing meals but is also a huge supporter of local teams and charities. He’s helped bring the heart and soul back into Hespeler Village. Highly recommend! Come hungry, leave with pie and maybe a new appreciation for how great local food can be.“

“The food ,service and atmosphere were very good,we will surely be back👍“

“Update. The wings are nice but I can find them $7.00 per pound cheaper elsewhere. The Ceasar Salad is a good price. You can have your supper here rather than having to go out which is nice. There is no powder here for your hands. I bring my own. Would be nice if there were snooker balls as well as the spots and stripes. Give the customer a choice. I plan on buying me a cheap set in the future. At times the music is too loud. There is a urine stink in the bathroom. Could be a plumbing issue? I have mentioned this to the owner. Not sure what her plans are? I can smell it right out into the pool area near the table at the front. The TV's are a great idea for sports. The place is nice and laid out but one must be careful when it is full as you can drive your cue in the butt of the person on the table beside you. There are not anywhere enough rakes for the tables. I have told this to the owner as well. You have to go looking for one. There should be 2 at ever table. Would be nice if they had the old 6x12 tables. But with the 4x8's you can have more tables in which means more revenue. I miss the smell of cigar smoke and old time music like in the old days but that is something that is lost to the past. The bar area is nice. Emma is cute and a great waitress. I will check the website when done here and see if they list the rates for pool. I find this very confusing as it is different each day and past and before 5pm. I just paid $28.35 for 1.5 hours of pool. That is a rip off. Nice to have a big place like this around as Galt used to have 4 pool halls back in the 70's. Riverside, Rosie's, Lansdowne and Ray's. All long gone now. At least we have a place to play pool. Saturdays are busy. Me and a friend went there twice on Saturdays and had a hour wait for a table which we did not do. I then found out that you can reserve one. We did this once and it solved the problem. The location is great as it is in a mall where you can pick up your groceries as well, and Dollarama.“

“I recently visited this restaurant and was genuinely impressed. The food is excellent—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. They offer daily specials that keep things exciting and fresh. The portions are generous, so you definitely get great value for your money. On top of that, the service is fantastic. The staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel right at home. Overall, this place is a true gem. Highly recommended!“

“I have been here 3x and just recently tried some of the apps after 9pm super good and the bar tender is very nice and very helpful with our visit. good place to try if you are in the mood for comfort foods.“

“I came to get the weekday 11-5 specials (meal plus drink). Came in and sat down at a table at around 4:00. Waited 10 minutes, nothing. No menu (in the past when I have come it was almost instant if not within a minute so I found it odd). A group of guys who had sat down after me was being served drinks, but I had yet to even see a server pass by my table (section I was in had other tables who were about halfway through a meal so it was not closed). Waited another five minutes then moved to the section with the guys who had drinks (bar seats). Another five minutes and the server for that section came by and asked if I’d been served. Explained the situation (I’d been waiting at one of the tables with no sign of anyone so moved to where I had seen people get served figuring it might increase my chances of getting seen). She was very apologetic (even though it wasn’t her fault) and the food was good as always (got the gryphon grand slam), but still feel conflicted about the situation. It wasn’t a notably busy time compared to other times when I’ve been and service has always been on point. Every other time I’ve come I’ve never had any issues with service (hence why the review is four stars rather than three) but I guess if you’re coming just be aware that wait times can really extend based on what server is in charge of your section. Would still come again though.“

“went to this establishment with my wife while I played in a league. I ordered my drinks, of course using my manners. After both of us ordering drink as well as many others, I had received my drink and many others, while my wife's drink had not. I went up to politely ask about my wife's drink taking so long. They said it was coming. Then right after that I was confronted by a different waitress stating that I was rude, literally signaling me in front of a crowd saying that I was rude. Neither of us have been to this establishment before and within 20 minutes were told we were being rude. I did not realize that using manners and asking for my drink was being rude. Even all the other patrons could not understand what I had done. I found this to be VERY offensive to both me and my wife. Don't judge people by how others act, especially for a patrons first visit. Maybe finding some nicer staff would be nice, maybe someone to appreciate the customers that come in to your establishment, there are many other places to spend my hard earned money because obviously they don't want it.“

“Music is wonderful and down low enough that you can hear it but it doesn't take over the room. Pleasant and welcomed surprise. The server brings their book of beers and you get a complete description of each. It takes a while to decide! Food is excellent. Fries done in beef tallow. If you have never tasted the difference you don't know what you are missing.“

“Excellent food and service!“
