Kudos to the Royal Electric Bar and Eatery. Last Saturday afternoon they hosted a number of students from Jam School (music school) including our 15 year old granddaughter. While great talent was shown by the performers the waitresses whirled about bringing great food and beverages to the happy crowd. This is my second opportunity to visit the Eatery. Make a visit and you'll agree it is a fun spot with good eats.

I love Royal!! It's so fun for a night out with either a live band or DJ. Royal has a diverse crowd that makes people of all ages feel comfortable.The food is great, their wings are huge and have SO much meat on them, all the sauces are made in house so it's unique to other restaurants. Their ranch dip is mouthwatering. And possibly the best Ceasar salad I've ever had thanks to the super garlicky dressing! Try the spicy fries as a side if you're not a salad person.The dessert is ?!! You want to save room after your meal for one of their amazing dessert options.Highly recommend checking out Royal Electric next time you're down town Guelph.

Was so looking forward to eating here, after two bar visits.Food was very disappointing, as was service.Fish tacos were a joke; where was the fish? And on cold tacos.Fries were a soggy mess; more bottled sauces, than fries.For somewhere that calls itself "high end pub fare", hugely disappointing.Will definitely not eat here again.Vegetarian options: Next to noneDietary restrictions: My wife is diabetic 1, very little choiceParking: Parking is fine

The food was good, the manager was excellent but the server at the bar was rude. She probably got into my top 2 chart of rudest servers. To the server, I hope you'll remember your undeserved $2 tip. I have a feeling millenials and GenZs are not gonna be compatible ever.I also don't understand why the bars at Guelph keep people's credit card at ransom (aka keeping the tab open). Is it because people run away without paying? I have never experienced this in any other cities.

nice place, AMAZING food, great music and atmosphere but the staff here really couldn't pay less attention to you. Four of them huddled at the bar chatting. Our waiter literally left the dining area for twenty minutes. we helped ourself to our own take out boxes and stood at the bar for ten minutes (while the staff continued to chat, walk by us and serve a table of friends) to see if we could get our bill. it's really a shame that the service was so bad. everything else was so great.

Used to come here fairly often and usually had a decent time, until my visit last Saturday. My buddy used a vape (obviously he’s wrong for that) and when he refused to give it up to the bouncer when caught as it was not his to give away, he immediately puts him in a chokehold and drags him out to the curb. No asking him to stop or leave properly, just defaulted to violence. Being a bouncer is no excuse to resort to the most aggressive resolution. I’d be careful about coming here.

Had the wings and they were okay, not fantastic. They messed up our order a little bit, we were supposed to get fries with our wings, but they forgot about the fries. Cool spot though, the atmosphere is good.

The bouncers are violent and abusive!! Their personal lives must be so pathetic and sad for them to be treating people like this! Wow. I’m sorry your lives are so empty and meaningless, but you don’t have to take your aggression out on other people for no reason! Go to therapy instead!

Wow!! I had the grilled cheese sandwich stuffed with pulled pork, apple and Brie. It was incredible! Side of garlic aioli topped off a beautiful taste combination. Had really great service from Watson and I got to watch him build a martini tower. Very impressed!

Went there Saturday night for dinner. Once me and my party arrived, we were escorted to our table and that was the extent of the good service.After we got to our table we waited for half an hour just to get drinks ordered, with the excuse of 'we are trying to figure who is looking after your table'. Unacceptable that should have been determined once the shift started! We ordered our dinner and honey garlic wings came out un tossed in any sauce. I had to send my plate of wings back twice to get sauced!. I Was told they were making a fresh batch for me, and yet when my plate returned, it was the same order of wings I had sent back, as I had found the wing where I had pulled a piece of dry crunchy skin from. I highly do not recommend going there on a Saturday night. I will stick with going there on Wing night when I know I can get better service.

Friendly service. Good menu. They were full when I walked in but the hostess did a good job of getting me the first table that came available. We didn't end up waiting very long.
