So everything but the food was good... got a breakfast and eggs were way overcooked second time still overcooked but by this time I figure the cook did not get it. Home fries were horrible and looked like re-heated in 6 month old grease. Bacon was tolerable. Sourdough bread was ok. Diet Pepsi looked like barely colored water tasted the same. Overall I cannot in good conscience recommend this place.

Unexpected “England-Style Pho” at The Barley Mow Kanata
You must try this England-style PHO at this awesome bar-restaurant! It’s nothing like the pho you’ll find anywhere else in Canada or the U.S.—a creative twist that blends hearty pub comfort with a touch of Asian flair.
The broth is rich and aromatic, the noodles have the perfect bite, and the fresh veggies add a bright crunch. Level it up by ordering it alongside their crispy fries, juicy wings, and classic poutine—the combination takes the experience to a whole new level.
It’s inventive, precise, and seriously satisfying—an engineer’s spirit in a bowl.
If you’re traveling through Kanata, don’t miss this unique dish at The Barley Mow Kanata .
A must-try stop whether you’re a local or just passing through!

I will start off by saying the staff were friendly, overall great and attentive. Food wise, hands down the most disgusting chicken wings I have ever had in my life... Completely overcooked, liked eating fried battered lumps filled with chalk dust. Even my friend couldn't believe how bad they were; felt like I was eating dust. My friend ordered a Ceaser salad so she hit that after the ghastly wings and she said there was barely any salad dressing in the salad. I then went to the washroom and no paper towels left....... that just added to the experience but not a big deal it happens. But man the food was gross. I hardly ever give negative reviews but I felt I had to do the public a service. If your food is stale, don't just lower the price and hope people eat it... Just throw it out. I don't think I will ever go back to that location ever again. Sorry didn't think of taking pics. Thank God it was only $2.99 for a batch of crap wings with fries. Had a stomach ache for a few hours to top it all off lol.....

Beautiful patio and stellar service. Delicious HANDBREADED zucchini with a tasty ranch. And the fried capers on the Caesar salad are a nice touch! Favorite spot for an after work meet up!
Nice pub with friendly service and tasty food. Good afternoon happy hour specials too. Cool little snugs.

I really enjoyed this Barley Mow, been there many times and always have great food at great value especially if you make use of the daily specials. The staff are excellent and kind. Also, I love the old-school little private booths in the far corner! :)

I went with my boyfriend for lunch and the food was awesome and the service was great but there was absolutely no air conditioning. It was very hot and uncomfortable, it made eating our meals difficult to enjoy.
