“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 went with some friends to watch the Canada vs South Africa game on 6/28/26. The place was packed but that was to be expected. Despite that, the service was really good. I wanna give a special mention to our server Steve, who was always on hand to make sure my soft drink was replaced when empty.
I had the bangers and mash and was not disappointed. The Cumberland sausages were fantastic. That plus drink, a split order of deep fried pickles came to just under $40.“

“love this place!! me and my friends come here to study, catch up or eat nearly everyday in university. Only downside is sometimes the wait times are pretty insane. we once waited 30 minutes just to get a menu, and another hour before anyone took our order. but besides that it’s normally great service and food.“

“Always great food. Friendly staff every time we have been“

“Lots of lesser-known beers, available as 5oz (~150ml) testers. I had a flight of three testers instead of one regular beer. The burger was tasty and noticeably larger than average. Fries were good.

Staff was super-sweet to us and knew the beers well enough to discuss and recommend. Service was quick.

Several tables cycled quickly. Folks would come in for a beer and conversation, then depart. Patrons were quiet (late afternoon, before supper). Store is clean and brightly lit by windows.

I'll happily return when I'm in the area.“

“We had a 60th birthday party with 13 people Great food, ambience and exceptional service“
