We will definitely be back next trip! You can dress casually and everyone is so accommodating! Don’t hesitate….choose this place you won’t regret it! I had 8oz sirloin-AMAZING, Chicken Alfredo was superb, ribs were fall off the bone good, the steak tips were scrumptious and my little one ate all of his kids cheeseburger!”

Dickers and diet and suggested dinner plate for me and the wife and kid got theirs. Knowledgeable bartender when asking about product, very friendly. The tomato soup complemented the sandwich so well, and the pretzel bread mounded with meat and fillings was was almost to much for me. (I managed and lived to brag about it) It was filling up a bit as we were heading out, almost made me miss the business but if I need a fix I will be driving from Kingston a empty belly needing filling and a mission. Thank you all for making todays lunch unrivaled, Tapoco has lost its throne for my go to, and firebirds falls a notch as there is a new king of the hill (my belly) Its Father Toms Pub.-David Steffen, Kingston”

    “Great food and service. My only complaint is about the TINY swivel-seat barstools. We had a party of 4 and wanted to sit at the bar. As soon as we sat down, we all looked at each other and said, “Uhhh, let’s get a table instead.” We are average size people but these bar stool seats literally look like they’re made for children. Very uncomfortable. I guarantee the bartenders must be losing out on lots of tips just because the barstools deter people from sitting at the actual bar. I’ll be back (just not at the bar until they replace those barstools). #easyfix”
