We were staying in the area. I phoned earlier that day to see if they would be open for diner as it was New Years day. The voice on the other end said they would be open until 9. Great! We have 2 little kids...we packed up and headed over. We walked in...it was quiet, looked like a dump and the man behind the bar (possibly an owner) was absolutely inebriated. We could not understand him and he was falling off his stool. He grumbled something angrily to my husband. The place was empty except 1 couple was there having a drink, and hinted that we should take our kids and turn around and leave. We did. It was the most bizarre and unprofessional experience. Our children were so confused. We went to Muskoka on the Rocks instead and they get a 5 star review from us. This place needs Bar Rescue or to be closed down because wow... Also, probably best to remove their "family friendly" sign lol

Saturday, October 7th, 7 pm. A friend and I atteneded, after a long day of work. we sit down as 2 customers are leaving, I watch Mario go towards the kitchen, and dosent come back, we wait about 25 mintues, and nothing, someone from the kitchen then turns the lights off. It's only 7 30, they dont close till 11 30.So I stood up and went towards kitchen and yelled out hello? I then look down and see mario sitting on the floor sleeping. That's when we left, and we were disgusted!

Wanted this to be great. Stopped on our way out of the park after a long hike. It was so filthy that we had to leave. Bathrooms were gross, only 2 of 8 beer taps were working, dirty dishes lying around, boxes, garbage and debris everywhere. Super weird. Can only imagine what the kitchen looked like. Has such potential but it’s really dirty.

You can never tell a book by its cover has never been more true here.Yes, it took a while to get served, but we weren’t in a rush.When the food came it was absolutely delicious - steak sandwich was a generous portion and cooked to perfection, veggie western sandwich was tasty, and I had the best sausage, chips, and beans I’ve had this side of The Pond.Give it a go when staying in or near Dwight.

Great atmosphere, but understaffed. Went in for a pickup order, tried calling but no answer, so no biggie, I will go in and order. Order placed in 5 mins ( thumbs up) so had a beer while I waited. 40 minutes later food came to me. Noticed there was not nearly enough sauce, so asked for more. They took bill back to adjust ( no problem) but waited 20 mins for them to bring the sauce. Food was totally cold by time I walked 2 mins) next door. Called to express my concern and they were aggressive and hung up on me. All and all good food, very poor customer service, wouldn't recommend and won't go back. Over priced in my eyes as well. 1 beer, 2 pounds of wings and shrooms caps for 52 bucks. If your going, eat in.

Kevin and Mario are awesome! The Friday night jams are off the hook!

Could be a great spot. Over 1.5 hour wait for food. Were hoping for a quick meal. Food was ok but not worth a 2 hour stop. Tried to charge for an extra pint. Check your bills.
Great food friendly
