Went in for a salad and came out to an $80.00 fine. ? Will not do any business in downtown Hamilton in the future. That's now the second time I got an $80.00 fine. I figured with an Accessible Parking and it being 9:30pm, Augusta Street would be okay for parking.

We ordered (for takeout) the fish & chips as well as the calamari. The fish was tender, fresh tasting, and flavourful. The chips were tasty too, my husband who isn’t usually a fan of British style chips devoured them. The coleslaw was flavourless, but we could let that go. What we couldn’t let go was the lemon pepper calamari. It was absolutely inedible. I have never had something more disgusting. They must have made a mistake in the kitchen, because it was incredibly sour as well as salty. I was very disappointed to pay almost $19 for something we could not have more than a bite of. As you can see from the photo, it is not a generous portion to begin with. There are only two rings missing from this picture and unlike the photos on their website, in person the calamari looked bright yellow.

Mine and my friends' go-to pub in Hamilton. Nothing beats Pheasant! So much history in that building too. Just great service and great food.

Not only did they look down on us ( because we were not their usual upper middle class customers ), we could not order a second drink until I had walked up to the bar where 3 employees stood side by side and the bar tender , yet nether one of them offered their services until I had said "excuse me, may we order another drink?", I've never witnessed such poor customer services! And let's not forget the double shot of crown royal that tasted like water. My best friend who is isolated into a wheelchair and resides in a retirement home does not get to experience top quality food. I drove into Hamilton and together we came to your establishment for dinner, which was absolutely delicious! I assumed the tips are split amongst the staff so I did leave a proper tip for your fine chef. We couldn't get out of there fast enough!!

Last year the food was amazing. But a year later and new cook and staff and there food just not worth eating. There is no flavor in food and everything was cold for dine in that's not a good sign.

The Pheasant Plucker proves to be a traditional pub with decent pub fare and selection of beer, but it's likely a place for casual gathering as opposed to a place to celebrate a special occasion.
Came here with my partner one Sunday in the late afternoon, which appeared to be a slow period for the restaurant. The decor looked somewhat tired and likely not a huge priority for management.
Our server was very friendly and welcoming. She provided a number of recommendations when I asked about the menu, and let me sample some beer before ordering. The pub has Guinness on tap (which is something I think a pub needs to have). We were told that the majority of the menu is made in-house from scratch. I ordered the Phez Burger while my partner had the Sunday special Roast Beef Dinner. The Roast Beef Dinner was decent, but didn't stand out as exceptional. The Phez Burger was more impressive. The beef was cooked well (juicy) and the toppings had a good balance of the flavours. The Burger held together and did not fall apart. The fresh cut fries were quite exceptional and crispy - I ate every single fry. I would go back just for the fries ?
I think I'd recommend the Pheasant Plucker if you're looking to hang out with friends for beers and decent grub, but it might not be the place you'd go for the ultimate culinary experience.
Parking: I was able to park on the street for free on Sunday, but patrons will need to pay for parking any other day of the week.

Horrible wings tonight Jan 17th. $27 for two pounds of crappy over cooked wings..... had a wing craving and ended up eating them all..... bad decision..... but i don't complain much. Asked to have some fries to fill the hunger void because two pounds were probably a lot less and they refused! Owners should monitor their business better. A small order of fries costs pennies..... but this review is priceless. Bad business!!!!! I went back 2-3 times since my first review above. The wing were amazing...fresh, big and filling. When I went last night the wings were tiny. I mentioned it to the waiter and it seemed like he didn't care. Why serve diffrent size food at diffrent times.... why count the wings you serve? Look at what you're serving.... does it seem fair? $17 plus for a small order... not to mention the extra sauce charge $1.75 for blue cheese? Come on! As a few wings for customers satisfaction.

Our favourite pub in Hamilton! Excellent food and the people that work there are awesome! Burger night on Tuesday, Wing night on Wednesday and $13 lunch meals Monday to Friday! The best service and a perfectly poured Guinness! And the Tennents Lager is ice cold!
Vegetarian options: There are many vegetarian options. I love the guacamole club, and guacamole and chips.
Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly! A lot of families go there with their kids!

Was greates by Eva, after coming from another bar down the street that gave us a horrible experience. Eva was kind enough to serve us and recommend drinks. She took care of us and non judgmental. As a POC I felt welcome and had a great night. Thank you ! Taylor was also kind. Looking forward to another plucker night !
Side note: the best Ontario Seltzer is sold here aka DOUBLE PURPLE!

Disappointing. Our party of three were in Hamilton to see a show and chose this pub for it's outdoor seating and gluten free menu items. The service was agonizingly slow, and there were only a handful of patrons, most of whom were served several drinks while we waited to order food. We had to go inside the restaurant to find our server to place our food orders. While we waited, we got to inhale secondhand smoke from all the smokers standing on the sidewalk directly beside our table, less than 2 feet away. I ordered fish and chips and could not believe how awful it was..it's a British Pub, right? The fries were overcooked and obviously reheated, the fish was mostly batter, and the bit of fish inside was rubbery and way overcooked. Disgusting coleslaw that was limp and tasteless. And the gluten free salad with chicken... bland and wilted greens with canned mandarin oranges. The only meal of the three that was worth it was the buffalo wrapped chicken and onion rings - wish I'd ordered that! So one star for that, but I definitely would not recommend this place.
