A restaurant is only a good as the staff working there.... This said, The Dugout is the Best! I have an amazing crew who continually go over and above to make your experience a great one. We strive to give you the best service in town and take pride in knowing the meats that are served are fresh from the local butcher - Bibs Meats - and cooked in house! We never use processed cheese or frozen breads or French fries. All of our salads and sandwiches are made to order so feel free to get picky. We are also know as the home of a Full glass of wine! Hope to see you there!
We had a wonderful experience dining in. I made a reservation the day before just to make sure we have a spot for Friday night dinner. My family friend and her kids came all the way from Toronto. They we're delayed for an hour so I called again 3 hours before the time I book it for and the staff was nice to accommodate us. It was full house when we got there. I ordered a Hot beef meal with gravy and fries on the side. It comes with a bread underneath it, I've never had that before and it was really good. I wish I ask if they have steamed veggies. My 6-year-old had quesadilla and fries for his dinner. He also ask for a dessert, so he ordered Reese's pieces cake. It was delicious! If you love Reese's pieces or just peanut butter, that dessert is amazing! Overall, we had a good time. I definitely recommend going there. Next time, I'd try their Salmon, the vegetables on the side looks delicious!
The Dugout is just Amazing! 🤩 the food, the drinks, THE SERVICE!!! Everything is great every time. Totally recommend to everyone, even the picky ones. Shoutout Jen!!!
Great local bar. Good food specials and reasonable booze prices. Can get busy so don't wait for the last drop before ordering another. If you like the old time local pubs you won't be disappointed.
Have only ordered wings for take out. So STINGY on the wing sauce. Have given it a few tries because it's close, so convenient. But last time I called to order and asked for extra saucy on the wings and they still have only a little sauce on about half of each wing. I'll drive further next time for better wings else where.
I visited here for the first time last night, and I've lived in the area all my life. Decided to try the ribs, and I would be hard-pressed to find better ribs anywhere else! Literally falling off the bone, delicious sauce, extremely tender. The portion size is excellent! I also tried wings and they are just as good as everybody says. I will definitely be back!
Didn’t like much the food. It was almost burnt but customer service was really nice.
Nice and chill restaurant. Went there in a Friday night and it was fairly busy. The service was great, food didn’t take too long to come out, and the servers were very friendly. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Great experience overall.
So I have deleted my past review. This restaurant caters and does fundraisers. You must check before going as the restaurant may be closed to the public. In my past review, I was perhaps harsh as 3 times in a row they were closed to the public. Last night we gave them another chance. About 70 percent of the restaurant was closed to the public but they did allow us in. AGAIN MAKE SURE YOU CHECK WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA. As for the food, it was fantastic as we remembered it back when it wasn't always closed. I have attached images. Although their coleslaw with fish n chips is just about the worst I've had the fish n chips were great. Chef needs help with coleslaw recipe, I could rescue him, but for the love of something will someone help him or her. Other than that no complaints.
Waitress was great, but she was the only one working on a busy morning.
Breakfast with the family. Always delicious.
Absolutely a fantastic place.
The service was exceptional
We were summer regulars. Five of used to enjoy going for the Friday night special Steak. Lately the steaks have been tough when we wanted medium rare. Aside from that the main issues is you have to pay for water and if you get the steak but don t want the potatoe you can upgrade to vegetables for $5.00 which we do but it s not worth it vegetables are plain not fresh and you get hardly any. I have also tried all there salads they again are not fresh and tasteless. Will not return cutting back on freshness and extra fees for next to nothing it s just not worth it.
Been a few times now and always busy but that doesn t affect the fast, friendly service and great good. Great at mop shoe with lots of regulars so you know it s great!
Simple but good breakfast.
I just want to keep this place a secret!!! Its that good!!! This is my favorite restaurant period. Great food, service and experience with reasonable prices. Lots of gluten free options. You will not be disappointed. Dietary restrictions: Lots of delish gluten free food. Dedicated fryer for fries.
Fast and very good. A lot of food for the price and coffee crafe Kid-friendliness: Very friendly with everyone and knew the foods Food : 5/5 |
Dont let the quiet outside fool you. Food is excellent and its the right place. Staff and service excellent. Highly recommend
The service at this restaurant was amazing! The food tasty and generous. Special thanks to Pat and the waitress for loving their jobs. And for those of us who care- the washrooms were immaculate!
Met some family for dinner Our food was excellent. Our server was absolutely amazing. It was packed...no free tables and the server bounced around doing her job like it was no big deal with a great sense of humour. I hadnt been in a couple years, but I will be back!!!!
Very pleasant local restaurant on the east side of town. Great place to watch a ball game on big TVs and meet up with friends. Wish they served MacKinnon beer, though Kid-friendliness: High chairs, helpful servers,kid menu Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level, easy access, wide aisles.
Wings are good. Lots of choices.
So tasty!
Great place, went here and got a full rack of ribs, steak for my kids and even a really nice beef liver dish, Awesome waitresses, Nice decor, and a fair price! Really cant ask for more, yall are great!
Was a bit slow due to fryer issues. Food was worth the wait!
Visiting from out of town. Astonishingly good service from the entire staff and owner. Decent pub food. Drinks are generous. Loud but friendly. Highly recommend!
They opened early because we reserved about 25 of us. The coffee and breakfast came quickly. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Staff was friendly and efficient.
Fun pub. Great selection of food. Friendly bar. Servers were excellent. Good weekly specials. All walks of life and age. Great selection of beer and wine. Food was good. Will recommend.
Great servers, great service, happy atmosphere..
The food was excellent. Im definitely going back!
Love this place! Always hopping and buzzing. Great atmosphere, great service and they cooked my steak just the way I liked it. Rare
Went to dinner with my friend and she had the Thai Salad and I had the Steak and Blue cheese salad. Her salad was great and so was mine (steak perfectly cooked) but there was a generous amount of blue cheese on my salad, that was very strong in flavor so I couldnt eat too much of it. The blue cheese was very blue, w/ dark blue and green veins, so it was just super strong. No fault to the establishment, I just prefer a more mild blue cheese. The bathrooms were clean, service was great, our server was very friendly and kind. Parking: As long as its not too busy, there is adequate parking
Keep in mind this Restaurant does not provide water to their customers. They only have bottles in which they charge for. To me, it was more of the principal than the cost. We had a table of 10 and Water should be included in the cost of meals, especially considering we had a 150$+ bill. It seemed to me, like one of those hidden costs the restaurant is trying to hit their customers with, as we were not made aware of this cost by the server, until one of us asked. We decided to go to Mamas Kitchen down the road instead and had a fabulous meal, and even better service.
Great food service was excellent
5 Stars all the way. I dont know how Ive never been here before. The atmosphere is quite quiet and people are spaced out much better than most restaurants that are just trying to pack em in. Service is fast and follow ups are frequent but not unwelcome or too much. Food is delicious and priced great. Weve tried several different menu items each and all of them have been fantastic! We will continue to make this a regular dinner option.
Love Wednesday night at the Dugout!
Always a first time for poorly prepared food! Had fish and chips. Fish batter was severely overcooked and most of fish was dry. Then you get two meagre fork full of vinegar laced coleslaw! and a pitiful amount of fries all for the outrageous cost of $18. Size of portions really gone down.
First let me say I rated the food 3* only because we were there for basic finger foods such as sandwiches, veggies etc... and For what it was, it was OK but for a person like me that likes some bread with his sandwich, these left a lot to be desired, aka very little if any meat, Everything else was good though and I can only assume considering how packed the place was at lunch time that the REAL FOOD they serve MUST BE great, but I cannot speak to that. The service was amazing, it says a lot when the owner is on the front line serving customers not in the back hiding counting money. It was a good enough experience I fully intend to go back for a proper meal and will update this when I do.
Wing night is frustrating as I have gone 2 times, and my wings were not temptress hot, and some wings were missed with the sauce I ordered, so this is disappointing However, the wing size is worth the cost for sure. The variety of sauces available are impressive. The wait time, on the other hand, is a tad too long, especially when they dont seem very busy.
It was my birthday and I had said so and at the end of the meal I received a small piece of strawberry shortcake my mom had the fish and chips that were excellent as always enough for two meals I had the full rack of ribs and poutine and they were delicious my only problem was I wish I had a bigger poutine but it was still the best
Always seems busy. Been a number of times and food, drink and people have been excellent.
We are from out of town. Loved the food, service and nice overall cozy place to eat.
They hosted my grandpas celebration of life and everything ran so smoothly. The staff were fast and well organized, and so friendly, and people filled the restaurant and all they had to say were good things. Im excited to go back and try their wings because they looked awesome.
We tried this restaurant for the first time on rib night to celebrate my sons birthday and no wonder it was packed. He ordered the full rack of ribs that spanned far beyond his plate and were diffinately man sized!!! And he ordered a separate poutine that was huge too. You absolutely musy try the ribs...they are to die for. The service was great. They were very fast and friendly too. We all plan on coming back!
Food is always delicious staff are friendly and always fast service.
Fantastic food and great service. Great spot for pub food and a relaxed atmosphere. Several tvs to watch and live bands from time to time as well!!! Parking: Loads of parking all around the building Kid-friendliness: Very friendly atmosphere for kids Wheelchair accessibility: Very easy access into and out of restaurant
We Always LOVE dining here
They had grizzle in the steak and the liver and onions were not cooked properly
Awesome food and great servers.
Fantastic service and delicious food at an affordable price would highly recommend to my family and friends
Excellent food and service! Highly recommended!We ordered striploin and fish & chips combo. Striploin was surprisingly good!!! Meat was tender and juicy! Fish & chips combo with breaded shrimps were yummy! Will probably be back again.
Was ok but whoever answers the phone needs a little more encouragement.
Food was cold and stale, had to send it back
Neighbourhood go-to. Cold beer and good pub grub, all reasonably priced. Friendly, efficient service.
Well let me start off by saying that when I called for takeout the lady sounded miserable. I got my food the club and mashed potato s were excellent but they over cooked our chicken tenders they were chewy and dry overall 6.5/10 I may come back again for some other items decent price and close to home
Awesome food & good atmosphere. Great service.
Great food
1st time...excellent service, great food and clean tables, chairs AND washroom...we will be back for sure.. Parking: Great..lots of room..we use handicap
Great food! Wonderful staff!
The service and food excellent!
Prompt service, friendly staff & quality food. Portions are perfect. An enjoyable spots bar with extras I will definitely return. Thank you, Dugout.
Food was plentiful...delicious ...they are very busy so wait time is a little long...maybe more staff.
The buffet breakfast on Sunday is awsome
Food is always tasty and the service is top notch. Peameal bacon melt is the best!
Great place for some eats or drinks
Fast friendly service from the ladies, love the chiken club house w sweet potato fries. Best sweet potato fries in belle-vegas hands . Food
Best pour in town... look!! The service and food were excellent, as it is everytime we go. Jen is always on point, eventhough shes answering the phones, serving and managing the business. You can tell this is a successful restaurant as it is always busy. Worth the wait if you have to, but I have never had to wait long.
Great food and prices!!! Love the atmosphere!
Great place
Great staff, very friendly service, relaxed atmosphere, and great portions for the $.
Dont order the fish and chips. All it was is a large fish stick over cooked. Couldnt eat it. They didnt even say sorry after I brought it to their attention
Nice place. Clean and staff friendly. Very short wait for seats and service. The food was fresh and hot. Food : 5/5
Good food great service
My first time there and everything from beg to end exceeded my expectations. The hostess even brought the wine bottle with her to pour into our wine glasses, filling them to the rim. Will definitely go there again!
Food was delicious, staff were so kind 10/10 will go back again.
The Dugout never disappoints. The food is always delicious and the servers extremely cheerful . Going back next week for brunch!
Love the food, love the staff. Its a staple in our community!
Good food. Good service. Fair price.
Been goin there for years, foods pretty alright for the most part, but their fries are awful, dry, no seasoning. Cheese curds are delicious tho. Update changed the cheese curd recipe and it s no longer good, also ordered a poutine, they didn t give me any gravy
Every visit has been satisfying to the appetite and the senses. Family and friends have always have great experiences here.
Enjoy the Friday night steak special. Especially like lunch pick 3. Always an enjoyable time at the Dugout!! Parking: Have always been able to get a parking spot. Kid-friendliness: Kids are very welcome here. Wheelchair accessibility: The wheel chair accessibility here is great.
Always a great place to go!
Had my birthday lunch with family, enjoyed the atmosphere, food was really good and service was excellent. The prices are very reasonable will definitely go back.
Always great food and service. Prices are terrific too. One of our favs in the area for sure.
My favorite go to place
Cold beer at a decent price. Fast, friendly service. Minus a point because handicapped button meant to open door at entrance didnt work.
Some of the best wings I have had in a long time. Great atmosphere and fast friendly service.
Service was excellent. Our server made our night. I do not like that they only sell bottled water. No tap water. My husband loved his ribs but my fish was fried too long.
Our first time here. Amazing food and amazing staff. They were full and I dont think that they noticed. We were served as we were the only ones there. Food came quickly and exceeded our expectations. Definitely will be back and highly recommend to anyone in the area to visit. Love this place!! Best sweet potato fries I ve had and I ve had many.
Great food as always and awesome service. I would not expect to have it any other way.
We had a better experience before but unfortunately this one is worth mentioning.. It was extremely busy in there and our server took our order, without writing it down. The order came mixed up and it took her 3/4 of the meal to casually walk by us asking as she s now behind me, how is everything? I told her my wings weren t well done and she paused. Then said, want new ones? I said no thanks, she said okay and walked away. We didn t see her the rest of the meal. We go to the bar to pay our bill, and ask if the wings were taken off. The lady behind the bar said yes and asked what happened. We told her, she asked if I wanted them to make new ones I said no thanks we re leaving now. That was it. Neither one of those ladies decided to apologize for the mix up, or take ownership. We felt like we were wasting their time. I don t want free, just what I ordered or a simple sorry for the mix up?
Hadnt been before. Based on outside, I was surprised at how open and spacious it was. Breakfast was good except home fries were overcooked. Nice to leave a pot of coffee at the table
Always good.
The Dugout is a wonderful local spot that you just have to check out if youre in Belleville. It really has that home town sports bar feel. Definitely a local gathering place, The Dugout has a range of food options but my personal favorites are their Curve Ball burger and their chicken Caesar wraps; the wraps are what youd expect as far as construction goes but the greens are always crisp and the chicken properly cooked and tasty. The Curve Ball is its own lovely beast with onion rings, smoky BBQ sauce and more. If youre someone who enjoys their wine, The Dugout also has you covered lol Order a glass and youll see what I mean ;)
Food was excellent
I love going to the dugout, the food and staff are always lovely. The breakfast at the dugout is amazing. I love going to breakfast at the dugout.
Great food, awesome staff.
Efficient friendly serving staff. Their lunch specials are generous and fresh and they make the best reuben around! Great place to come with friends too. Only thing I might change is that the place is quite dark inside during the daytime.
Great food and great employees. The Dugout is our favourite breakfast spot. The Prime Rib and beef ribs are the best in town. Also, it is always super clean.
Stopped for a late lunch. Food was pretty good, service was very friendly.
Great place, amazing staff, everyone is super friendly. All Ive had were the ribs and wings but both are spectacular! Great prices and the wings special on Thursday is so worth it. Definitely coming back as a regular.
Service was great, restaurant was clean, menu was very inclusive to to celiac/gluten free.
The food was good and service was quick even though it was busy. It was my first visit to this establishment and I will visit again.
Great food, and service is exceptional. The inside of the restaurant is pretty open without a ton of character. But if you want decent food - this is a great spot. Food
Food is amazing, and so is the friendly staff, will definitely be going back. Parking: Lots of parking, we were there around 5 and it was packed but still had parking available Food : 5/5 |
Stopped in for some fries (regular and sweet potato) to complete our picnic. Fries were superb... BUT the sweet potato fries blew us away. They were crunchy and tasty. Seems they put a coating of some kind on them. Just unbelievable yumminess. Everywhere else they are soft and limp.
Reuben sandwich was awesome
Ordered for pick up 2 orders of fish and chips, two fish 2 each. Chips were under cooked while fish tasted like old oil, to make matters worse 40 plus dollars and only got 1 fish each. Will not go back again. Food
Pretty good place. It was a little confusing to have 3 servers and it was extremely busy. The food was good, and I would go again.
Enjoy your food and sports at The Dugout! A fabulous place to bring your friends and family to enjoy friendly service and hot food. Come for their great lunch pairings, and plan to make room for the daily specials. A definite home run for food and fun!
not much to say really! food was amazing services amazing enough said!
Great service, very friendly atmosphere. Many TVs for the men or women who like sports. I will definitely return again. Vegetarian options: Im not a vegetarian, so could not elaborate on that. Sure they will have what you like. Pretty sure its in the menu Kid-friendliness: Highchairs, booster seats. Great with kids.
Recently attended the Dugout for dinner. The service was great however, the food left a lot to be desired. Our server did remove items from our bill due to the poor quality of the food but it is probably not a place I would return to.
Had fun. Good food selection of looking for Canadian dishes.
Got a refill without even having to ask
We had a party of 20, the service was phenomenal, and we were in out in under 2 hrs. We didnt feel rushed, and it was an enjoyable experience.
Great experience, ordered the strip-loin steak and salad, it was perfectly cooked and delicious! Service was excellent
4 of us went on wing night. Food good. Busy place. Will Def return again
Went there for birthday get together I ordered Greek salad and naan bread with hummus. Very good food and you wont leave hungry there portions are a good size. The service is wonderful and quick. My dad ordered a birthday cake from them served by them with was strawberry shortcake the cake was SO good. Everyone loved their meals.
Best staff
Foods always good. Service is always great
Always great food and service
Great food, great service, great fun and Jen is always giving back to our Community!!
We have lived just up the street since they opened for business, decided to try the Dugout for the 1st time for our 5th anniversary last night. We were very pleased and delighted with our experience. The food, service and staff, and the atmosphere were very amazing. Well definitely be going back, we highly recommend the Dugout if you want a full belly and an excellent experience.
Had a delicious lunch here- great find I had ribs with cowboy sauce ( full rack 24$ was huge and sauce was tangy and tasty ), my wife had the lunch special. Food came hot and quickly and was reasonably priced. Bathrooms were spotless and updated. The Dugout beer on tap is brewed by sleemans and was cold and refreshing, also a bargain at 5.31 for a pint.
Nice place. Service at bar could be better.
I go there about once a week great food even greater prices
Great food and service with very satisfying meals and selections.
Great food. Super service. Reasonable prices!
Great as always. Ribs and wings were on special and were great.
incredible service excellent food
Fast service. Great food at good prices. Extra generous portions.
The wings were excellent, but the Greek salad had way too much dressing. In the future, I would ask for dressing on the side.
Food is always great and I never go away hungry
Food is consistently great, service is always a blast. Regularly and happily eat here with the crew!
Love this place. Very welcoming , service is excellent.
Fantastic place. Loved the food, loved the people, loved the atmosphere. I will be happy to return. Meat was extra tasty in particular.
What an amazing find. Was traveling through and stopped for lunch. Staff were so attentive and friendly and the food was top notch. Now I just need to find another reason to visit again.
The food for our party was fantastic. Hot and fresh. The server was pleasant and kept our table topped with drinks and anything else that we needed. Pleasant dinner experience. We waited about 15 minutes for a table, but good food and atmosphere would justify it
Excellent meal and service...
Great value and portion size. Quality of food was decent for the price. Shout out to Roberto for having a place to eat. Very clean.
Very nice staff service is great but the food is ok my fry not to hot and steak was not
Went to a Christmas party here. The prime rib dinner was great. The staff were very friendly and the service was great.
Great food, great service.
I always enjoy the food every time I go
Awesome menus, fantastic waitresses.
Businesss seems tobebooming. Food and drink was good...
Wing night and very busy, but we were seated in a reasonable amount of time. Wings were very good, hot and meaty. My wife had the Greek salad with chicken, and it was very good, too. We were a group of 5 people, but I have no comment for the other meals. Faith was our server, and she was always available to bring us additional drinks. Their menu has a very good assortment of food choices. Highly recommend, and well be back .
Went for wings & a pint with a fellow baseball Coach. Wasn t too busy when we arrived, but within an hour, the place was packed! Service remained friendly and very attentive and the wings are The Best in town. Thanks, Jen & staff!
Always a great visit to the Dugout! Even when it s super busy, the service and food are second to none! Jen s got a great team and runs an excellent business! We are always happy to support this local business!
What a great spot, staff were friendly and enthusiastic. Always busy and lively. Highly recommend.
