The wait was absolutely worth it! We almost went elsewhere when we learned 6 groups were ahead of us, but luckily we were called back in time. The homemade Meat Lovers pizza was DELICIOUS - the pizza sauce was so well made, and the cheese wasn't bog standard No Frills cheese. You MUST try the cheese hot honey bites - so so so good. Picture included - take a look. Beers were very tasty and described well. 100% will go back and recommend to all the people.

Absolutely dissapponted with their service. We went there and the place was just half full, we waited for around 10 minutes for being asked our order then after another 10 minutes wait they came to say most of what we ordered they had ran out of. We decided to leave the place and go somewhere else for our dinner. It is sad that a nice place with great decoration and atmosphere offer so poor service to customers.

Large portions, great service
The food was good. Service was horrible. Our server did not give us water or condiments. She never came to ask us whether we needed anything or how the food was.

nice quaint lil gem
The food was good except for the fries that were not crispy. The service was so so, we had to ask for a glass of water and we're given the wrong change. Seems like the waitress rounded up, it was less than a dollar but still not acceptable. In the end, she ended up with a smaller tip because that's what the change is for.

I don't usually write reviews but my review is based on our server Cynthia that we had last night. Our son is a severe celiac and Cynthia went above and beyond to assure us the staff is properly trained and how they go through all the efforts to provide a safe meal. She was very confident in food handling and made sure to let staff know how severe he is. She did amazing with this, but what was even better is my son after sitting on the patio for awhile put his head down and went very pale, I knew right away that the sun and heat had gotten to him so i quickly moved him to the shade to cool off. She took note without even saying anything grabbed a cold cloth and ice cubes and was quite concerned for our kiddo. All while navigating my son's celiac disease, his distress in the heat, she took very good care of everyone else we were with, bringing food in a timely manner, refills for the kids, refills for the adults, and so on. Its by far some of the best if not the best service we've ever experienced at a restaurant. Thank you Cynthia again for helping us last night! 🧡

We were seated outside on the patio. After being seated, we waited 15 minutes just to be seen to take our drink order. The wait staff did not take any notice to the back tables and the other tables complained of very slow service and cold food. This deterred the both of us to order food. Obviously, there was a breakdown in communication with the staff since it was not busy at that time. We enjoyed our drinks but decided to leave after paying our bill due to the long wait.

This is a great patio spot for drinks and appetizers, I’ve had a few visits where the service was prompt and the fry board was delicious, huge, and perfect for sharing.
However, our recent visit dining inside was a letdown. We were told to sit anywhere in the dining room, which was nearly empty, but the chairs were extremely uncomfortable. It took about 10 minutes before our server came over to take our drink order, by that point, we were ready to order our food too.
I ordered a water and a cocktail from the happy hour menu, and my spouse asked for a Pepsi. After another 10-minute wait, the server returned with only my water. We were so thirsty that we ended up sharing it. I reminded her about the other drinks, and she said she’d grab them from the bar, but again, we waited another 10 minutes. At that point, we debated leaving. A 30-minute wait for a pop is just ridiculous.
During all this, we watched servers repeatedly bring out drinks and beers to the patio customers, which made us feel completely forgotten. Finally, our drinks arrived, and immediately after, so did our food. My spouse’s fish was unfortunately overcooked. The edges were burnt and hidden under a pile of fries, which felt a bit deceptive.
This was especially disappointing since it was our one date night for the month.
To be fair, the patio experience has been much better in the past, but I don’t recommend dining inside. It really felt like the indoor guests were an afterthought compared to the patio crowd
We had the cauliflower bites happy hour special which were good but the chicken nachos were underwhelming. For $24 I would expect them to be loaded with toppings and cheese. Some black beans and other toppings but because of a really low amount of cheese they didn’t stick and kept rolling off the nachos. Easy fix to be great more cheese and more toppings add Guacamole it doesn’t cost that much!
watching people get superbly better service while our server hardly came by, and didn't get us what we asked for eg. condiments, or our drinks. then she tried charging us for the for a flat beer that was sitting at the bar for however long after we were already packed up to leave and have the bill... not a good experience and it wasn't even that busy. food was good tho!
Our regular pub with good service and tasty drinks/food.

Worst experience with a restaurant. Our waiter ( dressed like a wrapper with his pants buckled around his thighs… we though he was a street guy coming up to ask for money as we were sitting outside ) anyways he took our food and drink order but took awhile for drinks to come and then nothing for an hour we had to go up to the bar and get our own drinks refilled as he didn’t come back …. Another half hour later we finally got the 2 pizzas and nachos we ordered. Pizzas were cold and soggy he explained that they were waiting on the nachos for awhile so they were sitting abit. Then he left the table without offering more drinks and then we had the go to the bar to ask for salt and pepper. Which they retrieved from the bar fridge … salt was solid so they were kind enough to give us a handful of salt packets. If it was busy I would understand but was a Tuesday they had 3 other tables which were already eating and 4 people sitting at the bar. So no excuse for the service and 1.5 hour wait for food. So we eat our supper at 10pm finally and they brought the bill and said they applied a 25% discount….bill was still $100 for 2 pizzas, 1 nacho, 1 beer (we noticed they missed the second beer that we had to go to the bar for) 2 ice waters and 1 diet pop . Overpriced for sure poor quality food and service. We won’t be back.
