The Wilcox Gastropub: Takeout, Delivery and Dine-In

The fries were overcooked, not a good accompaniment to the expensive food.

Love coming here! Service is amazing and oysters are half off Tuesdays and Wednesdays which I love

It was my first time there. I went for a whiskey after work.
So right at the door the hostess where taking me to the bar and briefly presented the options for the night, the oysters, some fish, and beer.

Kevin was the bartender, he is very friendly and knows how to prepare nice drinks.
He picked the best snifter, cleaned it, and poured the whiskey.

Everything was good, the oysters, the whisky, the atmosphere, and all the waitresses as well.

The only thing to point out, but at the same time it is nothing that would interfere on the decision to go to this bar, is that the entrance is only to the street and the parking lot is at the back, so we park the car in the plaza, but the entrance is facing the street.

The vibe at this place was SO nice! I ordered the grilled octopus and it was so tender and delicious. Full of flavor! It was the best food I tasted during my week visit in Mississauga (which says ALOT). I will absolutely be visiting this place again and again.

Great experience. Food was great and the service as well. Definitely would come again.

Quiet upscale bar. Happy hour foods and drinks were excellent. Tacos were nicely spiced and drinks reasonably priced. It was quiet 3 to 4:30 pm on a Friday.

A very average restaurant for a hefty price.
The New York steak was closer to a thin fast-fry cut, and I’m not sure why it was pre-sliced as if being served to a child. The cheesecake was warm and oddly salty, which was disappointing.
Service was forgetful throughout, with our orders repeatedly missed.
What bothered me most, though, was the atmosphere. I came in after work and was told my group had to be out by 7. We ended up staying until 8, and there were still plenty of empty tables. It felt like I wasn’t welcome to stay because I arrived in my work clothes, dust on my pants and an old shirt. For a bill that came to nearly $500, about the same as a week’s wages for some of the staff, that treatment left a bad taste.

Awesome customer service and overall quality dining in the heart of Mississauga, great date night spot for the atmosphere and vibe.

Try Happy Hour specials 3-6pm, Monday to Thursday and honestly the value proposition, overall quality of offerings, and atmosphere is awesome.

Impressive. We went to this spot last weekend and I can't wait to go back. The menu, although small, had some pretty awesome dishes. Great taste, perfect portions and def worth the money. You have to go!
EDIT: I returned to this restaurant after it closed and reopened and the food has definitely gone downhill. It’s not the same anymore, obviously a different chef. I wouldn’t eat here again if I don’t have to. The Korean Fried Chicken was salty, the fries were oily and soft and the jerk chicken tasted like they used too much nutmeg in it. The photos in this review are from 3 years ago, today it’s August 2025.

We came on a Saturday with our small dog and they were nice enough to accommodate and see us outside on a lovely patio lounge. It was very comfortable. We ordered the fish and chips which was a staple here along with the roast. Chicken quality was on point, tasted amazing. We even got a chance to see a lot of butterflies hovering around us on the bushes. The waiter Robbie was very nice and when we paid for the bill the sparkling water was on the house.

We came here based on the TikTok hype but it was the complete opposite. When we entered, we waited 7 minutes for someone to greet us. Once we sat down, it took them nearly 30 minutes to take our food order and that’s because I waived down the waiter. We ended up not ordering any food as we were not pleased with their overall service. Absolutely ridiculous. They have no customer awareness. Will never return.

Just went to Wilcox for a weekday dinner and although the service and atmosphere was good, if you are sitting on the patio it can take a bit of time to get served. Although I have to say one the server noticed us they were very attentive and patient. The food was ok nothing to write home about the chicken sandwich was a bit too tart and not balanced, however the ribs and the potato salad was really good
