13 Best Pubs near Lakefield

“Tucked away along the waterfront, this restaurant delivered one of the most satisfying dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. The view alone is worth the visit — calm water, a gentle breeze, and a sunset that felt like it was made just for us. But the real star here? The food. I ordered the double bacon and triple cheese burger, and it was everything you want in a guilty pleasure meal: juicy, rich, and stacked high with perfectly melted cheese and crispy bacon that somehow didn’t overpower the burger. The bun held everything together without getting soggy — a small detail, but a game-changer. Every bite was a mix of bold flavor and serious comfort. My girlfriend went with the steak, cooked medium-rare, and it was spot-on. Tender, juicy, and seasoned just right — no fancy sauces needed. It came with a side of roasted potatoes and asparagus. Service was friendly and relaxed — not rushed, but always attentive. Whether you’re out for a date night or just want to treat yourself, this place hits the mark on food, vibe, and location. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Absolutely incredible. Came in and we just pick a spot to sit. The waitress (Penny) was on her own clearing tables, serving customers, and bartending. She quite literally was a one woman show. She cleaned our space quickly when we chose a table and immediately got us menus and asked us what we wanted to drink. Service was fast and friendly. Even though she was by herself, I never felt like I was forgotten or left to the wayside. The food was melt in your mouth delicious. Amazing flavors and cooked to perfection. Thanks for such outstanding service and food.“

“A big thank you to The Publican House team. Today we hosted over 60 friends and family in the private room for my grandfather's celebration of life. The staff was very attentive and the food was great. Thank you for making our difficult day easy and enjoyable.“

“Great Pub food and service! Shout out to Jenny and Paxton“

“Great atmosphere. Cozy place to hang out and catch some live music. They have a good selection on tap and the food is top notch. Highly recommended.“

“Service was great and food was awesome. Great atmosphere!“

“Good pub food. I had the burger and salad and my wife had the chicken fingers. Good portion sizes and reasonable prices. Excellent service despite there being two large groups there. My only complaint is I wish they had a wider variety of beer on tap, instead of the standard Budweiser, Canadian, Coors types of beer. However, that's probably their market target so you go with the flow.“

“The drinks were so good, and the waitress cam was the sweetest!!“

“Maple Moose is usually my go to restaurant. They have a gluten free menu, but you have to ask for it. Anna is my favourite waitress, she is so friendly and caring.

There have been a few times I have gone where the waitress serving me hasn't always been that friendly and the food wasn't that great.

However, it gets 5 stars, because even when busy it is normally great. They even let me stay 30 min after closing to try and finish watching an overtime hockey playoff game.“
