We liked this place. Very friendly service, wide range of choices of delicious food, reasonable prices, nice dining area decoration, good environment.
Minus 1 star for dirty table close and too many flies around the food.

Went to grab a bite to eat and listen to live music. Music was a young Kitchener musician, Jessie T. Full of energy and plays a variety of hits including her own. Food was excellent and the portions were large.

Truly love The Bushomle! First time going!
The service was outstanding. Tammy was looking after us all night for food and drinks; our glasses were never empty!
For food, I tried their Tuna Tataki. Big pieces of tuna service on coleslaw with pickled jalapeños. This meal filled me up and tasted fantastic. Will have again!
Oh yeah. They have GREAT live music. The night I was there, Fiddlestix was playing!
Paula, the sound engineer, had the perfect mix to keep you dancing, yet not blowing your head off with great music. Thanks Paula!
Thanks everyone at The Bushomle for a great first experience!
Can’t wait to come back

Absolutely love this amazing music venue. One of my favourite places to play. The music and players are the star. Amazing site lines, top notch sound and lighting, they treat you like gold and on top of that they have the most amazing food!! It’s a hidden gem in Erin. Do yourself a favour and watch some music here and support local businesses and music!!❤️

Looking at previous negative reviews, I'm making it detailed to head off any snarky responses the owner will make.
We reserved for a show Saturday night. We were a large group of 16, however the organizer made a reservation 1 month early, and asked for the dinning room.
When most our group arrived on time at 6pm, we were then informed they had moved us to the show area to accommodate the size..... still we had to sit at separate tables (important for later).
It was nearly 20 minutes before our first drink olders were taken... when they did arrive, the organizer had to catch the waitress again to take the orders from the final 4 people that arrived 5 min late. At 640, we then had to hunt for the waitress to order our food, which was done by 645
At 740, even the 4 of 16 that had ordered appetizers, hadn't received anything. The waitress said food was almost ready. At 8pm, still no food, so we found the manager....
The manager was not apologetic, instead offered several times to show us our food chits were put in at 7:01... however our food orders were completed at 645, despite arriving at 6...
At 810 the apps came out, however my parter and mine was ice cold, and even then, some apps were missing.
At 830, I finally received my meal... no apology, nothing. At this point the show was going. Still had not even been offered water.
Later in the night I approached the manager saying how it wasn't a good experience. These are exact quotes:
"We accommodated your group by putting you in the performance area" - it was a month old reservation for the dining room
"Our kitchen is small and the front was busy" - yet again, a month old reservation we made FOR THE FRONT.
"The chits said 7:01pm" - not our problem, why did it take 40 min for our orders? And another 20 to put them in.
"It could easily take an hour to get the food out for a group your size" - I can agree with this... however it was over an hour after we ordered before we saw the 4 apps we ordered... not a valid excuse when we reserved a MONTH BEFORE FOR THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE.
"We put you in the concert area so you could sit together" - except we couldn't, we would have been fine at separate areas in the front. Our reservation was for the front... lame excuse.
At no point were we apologized to without an excuse. My wife and I were not offered any solution, or even a free drink/comp our app.
That being said, despite the tostasas cheese being colder than my fridge, the flavour was good, and my chicken and waffle was actually hot and had good flavour.
My one cocktail the white dragon Margarita was excellent.
The show and band were excellent.
That's the only reason for 2 stars.
It is very unfortunate our experience was marred not only by poor service, but what I cannot describe by anything else but a complete lack of empathy a d even blaming of the customer by the manager.
