The Jolly Taxpayer Bar & Grill

Don't take what is on the menu is correct the menu shown here is 6 years old. They don't honor 6 year old
prices lol.

We were seated quickly, Service was friendly. They completely forgot our cutlery, I had to go find some myself. Food was OK, I had the Sweet and Spicy Crispy Chicken Burger, it tasted very good but very hard to eat. The Onion Rings were overcooked and had no taste. There are No Local Beer options, only typical commercial... Coors and it's subsidiaries. For a local watering hole, they absolutely need to offer Local Brew. Bad form. The Baked Penne with Chicken was really good. We had Queso dip and chips... the chips were stale, like week old stale. This is not a avoid at all costs... more attention to detail is needed everywhere. Then this place can be better.

First of all , website is not even accurate and shows $14 burger specials on Wednesday when it’s actually $7.90. Wonder why it was so dead at prime time lunch hour. Not to mention it’s got to be the one and only restaurant that I know that literally opens at 12pm. All others in the world open at 11 am. You’re missing the lunch crowd business like you don’t know how to run a business!!! Food has gone significantly down hill and is almost unpalatable. Went for lunch today for “ burger special “ that I seen at last minute once food truck cleared front door delivering to adjacent pizza joint. Let just say it was questionable. Payed and left tip for waitress. Not coming back . Think it’s due time to shut the doors for good 👍🏻 . Hard pill to swallow but sometimes the truth really hurts!!

Wings are tasty but it’s not worth 1.5hrs of waiting.

This a small local bar. It is a bit of a dive, with not much going on. The food is blah. They used to be some live entertainment and trivia or comedy night that made it worth going to, but now it's just a place to grab a quick drink after work and leave. I would not recommend it as a place to bring a someone on a date.
Most of the staff are friendly and do there best with what they have to work with.
Bring back some entertainment, dart league, something. Anything!

We end up reserving the patio here at least once a year for our work get togethers. The appetizers are quite good. I suggest giving the Cheeto breaded cheese sticks a go. They are amazing. The parking can be a bit tight but there is usually enough room for the lot of us.

Friendly place

Best wings in Barrhaven! Highly recommend!

Paid over $20 for wings that were somehow dry, wet and soggy… also got a deformed wing that made me completely lose my appetite.

HEALTH CARD NOT ACCEPTED.
Me and my friends always came here whenever we had the time for the last 4 years. There were no issues until today when my friend's valid Health Card was rejected for no apparent reason. He has used the same card for the last few years and there were no issues. He had to drink WATER while me and my other friend were drinking. On top of that, the prices of the food are very high for such low quality food. If you are local and looking for a nice bar to hang out with your friends, Greenfield is a much better option with better prices, customer service, and lively atmosphere. If you don't have a driver's license, sorry, you are rejected!
