1222 Walkers Line, Burlington, ON L7M 4N6, Canada
Serving the wonderful community of Burlington for over 25+ year's with great food and drinks all in a quaint atmosphere for everyone to come and enjoy!
Wow! Great service, especially when our server recommended the half portion of nachos (pictured). Half price wine on Wednesday night. Great value. The place was packed! We will be back.
Not one to leave reviews, but had a wonderful time with my Family here while visiting in the Burlington area. The atmosphere while being waited on at the bar by Dale Murphy, while waiting for seating made it feel like Home! The customer service, as well as the food were top notch!!! Highly recommend their Fried Chicken sandwich with the addition of bacon per their recommendation. Thanks for the wonderful dining experience with my Family!
Always a great meal at the Judge. We ordered the Butternut Squash Ravioli and the Judge’s Naan Club with French Onion Soup, both were perfect! The Ravioli was filled with fresh, flavorful ingredience that was very tasty. The Club had a awesome combination of fresh toppings (of goat cheese, avocado, mixed, greens, roasted red pepper etc) that resulted in a definite must have sandwich, and the FOS was right up there as well. Thanks to the Judge and the great staff!
Very nice British style looking bar. Cozy atmosphere , very good food, great service (thank you Veronica) . Try the local beer Nickel Brook while you there.
Absolutely a wonderful stop traveling to Toronto. The Roast Beef Yorkies were superb! The Guinness was poured perfectly and gave me nostalgia from Ireland. Lovely pub that I would recommend to anybody.
Judge and Jury Gastropub: A Great Alehouse with Room for Improvement I recently visited Judge and Jury Gastropub, an Alehouse known for its British pub staples and globally inspired dishes. My experience was enjoyable overall, though there were a few areas for improvement. Ambience and Service: The ambience of Judge and Jury is inviting and comfortable, perfect for a laid-back evening with friends or family. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Drinks: The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the beer selection. Judge and Jury offers an impressive array of craft beers, each one better than the last. Whether you're a fan of IPAs, stouts, or lagers, there's something to satisfy every palate. Food: The food was a mixed bag. Some dishes were outstanding, while others fell short of expectations. Hits: - The shrimp tacos were absolutely delicious. The flavors were well-balanced, and the shrimp was perfectly cooked. - The onion rings were crispy and flavorful, making them a perfect accompaniment to our drinks. - The nachos were another standout, loaded with toppings and bursting with flavor. - Fish and chips were lipsmacking Misses: - The burger, unfortunately, didn't live up to the mark. It lacked the juiciness and flavor that one would expect from a gastropub of this caliber. - The Reuben sandwich was also disappointing. The meat was dry, and the sandwich overall was quite underwhelming. Overall Rating: 4/5 Despite the inconsistency in the food, the exceptional beer selection and the overall atmosphere make Judge and Jury Gastropub worth a visit. If they can elevate the quality of their dishes to match their drinks, this place could easily become a top destination for food and beer enthusiasts alike. I'll definitely be back for the beers and those amazing shrimp tacos!
The Judge & Jury never disappoints! Today I enjoyed a pretty hearty Reuben Sandwich at lunchtime. The smoked meat was piled high and delicious. It was huge and I was unable to eat the whole thing.
Great UK style pub, lots of separated areas of table groups gave it a cozier feel. Had the Smoked meat sandwich with fries and my wife ordered Chicken fingers and fries from the kids selections. The portion size was great in both cases. The fries although hot weren't cooked all the way through, but wasn't an issue. Lots of parking outside. Looks like the kind of place that might require a reservation during peak times. All in all a good experience.
Service is fast and friendly, Reuben sandwich was good. The fry portion was a little weak but other than that its a great little place to go hang out and grab a bite.
Great food, ate burgers, fish & shrimp tacos. Delicious! Great service. Friendly staff. It is a very popular restaurant. Food
Great little pub. Food and service were good too. No complaints.
Went on a Monday night. Great wings n beer!
On Monday, the entire menu is Gluten Free so an awesome treat for Celiacs.
Great place, food and staff
Food is always good. My husband is Veg and says their veg burger is the meatiest and cooked the best. His fave pub. Service is great - servers actually smile like they enjoy their job! Lol Vegetarian options: Beyond type burger and typical pub fare.
If you go there don t even bother thinking about the food, service and other things, Everything is perfect. Most important thing is, when I walk in, I feel like I m home. Best experience ever. My son used to play football in the area and hour and a half of his practice 3 times a week I spent there years. I wish he didn t grow up so I could keep going back.
Had lunch there yesterday, Shawna served my wife and myself, everything was perfect but one thing we could not stop talking about is how impeccably clean the restaurant is.
Great place if you like friendly, fun, staff, great meals, and cold beer. The place was packed they still managed to get us in!
Best restaurant in Canada
Glad i discovered this place, easily one of the better pubs i ve ever been to. Amazing food and atmosphere! I got the Judges Fried Chicken Sandwich which is apparently a must try and it was as good as advertised. One thing i noticed and really liked about this place is that they don t charge you extra for sweet potato fries - shows me that the owner really respects his patrons.
The Judge & Jury is my new after-sports hangout. Wings are awesome, and the drinks are just what you need to chill. Great vibe all around!
The fries was over cooked almost burnt to a crisp The carpet smelt a little dingy but with this experience, it was different. Food
Dietary restrictions: Gluten friendly Food
Amazing pub coming from a second-generation English bloke. The menu is traditional pub food but not the Bangers N Mash from supporters clubs on that island. I recommend the coconut shrimp with a Black and tan. Peaceful except on weekends where you really get to miss the UK. Vegetarian options: Who gives a rats ass. Bollocks!
We love this place!! Food is so much better than standard pub-grub. Servers are all good and friendly. Laid back vibe in the whole place. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free Mondays.
Our family had an amazing time at The Judge and Jury! Everyone was extremely friendly, and the food was great! Our bartender (Dale?) was hilarious and attentive. Also the interior is exactly what you d want from a pub experience! 10/10 This actually became a highlight of the trip for the whole family :) Food
Service, menu. Food never disappoints, has been our local for years
Food was ok. Service was good
You dont have to fly to the UK to enjoy the hospitality and delicious pub fare found at the Judge and Jury. Plenty of parking, beer on tap. And bar keepers that will make you want to stay for one more. Ill have a Lager... Thanks. Cheers. Food
Nice casual dining.
Servers are always amazingly friendly and the food is fantastic! We love coming here. Dietary restrictions: Mondays have a special gluten free menu and the kitchen is entirely GF. Awesome for my GF partner!
Last minute. Great pub food and ambiance. Will definitely go back
Nice little pub with decent wings and a fair selection of pints. My friend ordered the fish and chips which also looked good. Would go back again.
Food was alright but Monday is gluten free everything do not too impressed. Weekends are probably ok. Have to go back.
Traditional pub.goos specials and wind deals on weds Food
11/10 rated pint of Guinness. Cool bartender.
Fast service, we received our food fast and the quality was great. I recommend the Yorkies.
Love this restaurant. Great ambience. Food is always great. Excellent service. Friendly staff.
Great service, food, and atmosphere. Came for a GF Monday and it did not disappoint! Highly recommend for any fellow celiacs. Excited to come back :)
I had a wonderful experience here with my family. We ordered the **Fried Chicken Sandwich** (a must-try!) and a **Burger with Blue Cheese**. I requested the bacon be removed from the burger, but it was accidentally served with bacon. The server immediately resolved the issue by bringing out a new burger without bacon, and they even removed it from the bill. Their **quick thinking and exceptional service really set them apart**. On top of that, the food was **fantastic** highly recommended!
Great place to meet with friends.
Dietary restrictions: Lots of gf options Food
Best fish and chips by far in Burlington, must experience on a Sunday special after 5pm, you wont be disappointed. Parking: Parking is walking distance to the entrance c/w disability area. Plenty of spaces and the best part its free
This was a spur of the moment but a great find for us. Highly recommend
Love gluten free Mondays.
I had a fun birthday here and they dont disappoint.
The cobb salad was spectacular
Had visitors from the US on Saturday, July 20 and showed up for dinner at 6:30 with a party of 18. Not only did the staff seat us all, they managed to put us all together, at the end near the door. The service was outstanding and Taya, our server, looked after everyone brilliantly. How she managed to juggle all our requests so well, I don t know. The food was great, as usual, and a great evening was had by all. Thanks to everyone on duty.
The food was good, the up charge for onions was wild and the waiter never discussed this, its a bit out dated but its also for the older folks I went because I really wanted a beyond burger that was good Vegetarian options: Beyond Burger
We were in Burlington visiting a friend and, as is our usual practice, we check out eating establishments we would like to try in the area. Dining at the Judge & Jury is one of the best experiences we have had in a while. The restaurant itself gives a feeling of welcome from the moment you walk in the door. The food is delicious and perfectly prepared. We shared the cauliflower bites, the better half had Liver & Onions and I had the Roast Beef Yorkies. After lunch we shared the sticky toffee pudding which can only be described as a little taste of heaven. What topped off a perfect visit was our server, Michelle. Friendly, efficient, with perfect timing in our food delivery. Dont miss this gem of a place. Rob and Sue
Best spot in Burlington
Average quality food, great service, plenty of parking
Food and service were amazing. We enjoyed the patio. I highly recommend
Good food
There were four of us having dinner, and we all found the Judge and Jury to be a homey kind of English pub, with a varied menu. My friend had the halibut and said it was excellent. The pot pie was delicious, and dessert was great. The wait staff are friendly and we didnt feel rushed at all, even though several tables around us changed. A good experience all round.
Good spot. Wings were good and a decent size order. Try the chocolate lava cake for dessert!
Half a km away from my house and always a pleasure. Even though have a patio for summer I love this place more in colder weather - so warm and friendly! Nothing about this place ever disappoints. My favourites are the fish and chips and rueben sandwich. Food
Good food, good drinks. Service was little to fast but settled down.
Great food...great service..the staff absolutely amazing ...so friendly and accommodating!!!
Holly is the best and the beef dip is BOMB!!
Great food, great service, great almosphere and great draft beer!
at the patio having GF Fish and chips on Monday... ambience -dappled sun or shade and a lovely breeze. Food amazing as always and the servers working hard to keep you smiling. Whats not to Love! Dietary restrictions: GF Mondays... whole restaurant is gluten free... for Celiacs its such a treat!
Overall, the visit was ok. I came in thinking pub style would be great for fish and chips, unfortunately I was disappointed. Fish batter was soft and doughy, the coleslaw was pure cabbage with barely and dressing, and the chips were bland and soft. Service was great and the atmosphere was standard pub restaurant.
Great food and staff
We are regulars at the J&J and for good reasons. The staff are awesome, the service always quick and the food never disappoints! Tonight though, our server, Veronica, went above and beyond. I ordered the Cobb salad, which is HUGE, and fantastic, so I meant to take the other half of it home with me. When we left, I forgot it on the table. A minute later we re sitting at the stoplight at Mainway and Walkers, and Veronica is crossing the street with my takeaway box! Did I mention the staff are AWESOME?! Vegetarian options: Try the Cobb salad! You won t leave hungry! Dietary restrictions: I m gluten sensitive as well as limiting my carbs, and they will always accommodate a special request, like some extra veg instead of the noodles or rice that come with their delicious Thai baked haddock. Always above and beyond here!
Friendly service
Great little pub and amazing food!!
Always great food service and atmosphere.
Another great experience Dietary restrictions: Gluten friendly options Food : 5/5 |
Love this little pub, so close to home. Got to watch Burlingtons finest directing traffic after an accident, which was caused by a crazy storm. Greatful for these guys Food
Came here this past Saturday. Food and service was great. Will return again
Buffalo chicken wrap was good. Typical pub.
This is a Burlington staple. I recommend having a pint at least once here. The wings are phenomenal. Theyre a bit on the pricey side but they look and taste excellent. I had the fish and chips and I would recommend it as well
The food was good. I had the steak and kidney pie with mash my wife had the fish with rice The only comment I have there was no kidney but mushrooms wonder if they mixed up ? My wife said her meal was on the dry side needed a sauce. Food
Dale, Leah and Patty are the reason we enjoy the Judge and Jury. Great service and great people. To the new owners, weve been coming here for 20 years, dont change anything! Keep the menu and great food! Dont make it too trendy . Food : 5/5
Great food, great atmosphere, and amazing people! This is hands down the best pub-style restaurant in the city. From the moment you step in, youre greeted with warmth and hospitality. The ambiance is cozy yet vibrant, perfect for a casual hangout or a lively night out with friends. And lets not forget about the food - its simply amazing! From comforting classics to creative specials, you cant go wrong no matter what you get on the menu. But what truly sets this place apart is the staff, especially Dale, the bartender extraordinaire. his friendly demeanor and genuine interest in your experience elevates the whole experience. Dont tell my wife but there have even been some nights where I have gone just for Dale, LOL! Whether youre a regular or a first-time visitor, youll feel like part of the family here. Cant recommend it enough!
A staple in Burlington, a must go. You will not be disappointed! Parking: Lots of Food : 5/5 |
It was OK- nothing terribly wrong, but the Gastropub description is an over-exaggeration. Basic pub food that s at least decently priced. Not particularly friendly service- the waitress scowled and seemed out out that we wanted to sit in the shade. Not really a dog friendly patio, more dog tolerant- no water bowl available. We went for lunch on a sunny Saturday. The lady who seated us didn t look too pleased that we d brought a (quiet, happy) baby either. I avoid it but wouldn t go out of my way, there are better pubs.
Great place. Tried different food. Stay away from pad Thai. Excellent place for nachos. Giant plate and very good. Definitely going back for nachos and beer Food
Great old style pub with amazing nachos and great beer selection. Fast friedly service, highly recommend
Excellent!!
Great service and awesome food
Very reasonable prices. We had the Steak and mushroom and the Shepherds pie and both were very authentic per our tastes. Decor was very fitting to the name. Would have been nice to have pub style music but unfortunately, very few pubs have that...oh well.
Good food and friendly service.
The food is so good, the prices are very reasonable and the staff are like family !
Great neighborhood pub/bar. Friendly professional service...will try soon for lunch!
Never go here. They wouldnt serve a company of 5 adults because a server assumed we were intoxicated (which we werent) and that they will get fined if inspection comes in and finds us! And we came in asking for food, not even drinks. Never had this happen in any bar/restaurant in our lives. They could of just said, its late, kitchen is closed (it was 11:30am) and we would if said thank you and left. Unacceptable. I hope the owner sees this and discusses this with their personel. Unbelivable.
Monday 5:00 pm and it was busy and very noisy. Food was OK and they had draft Kilkenny which seems to be nearly impossible to find in Ontario!
We are there every Friday night. Some guy name Dale is the best bartender in Burlington.
All Gluten-free Mondays are fantastic! First time Ive had fish and chips in years
They do gluten free Mondays! OMG so good. Im celiac so its hard testing out. This place lets me feel like a normal person, at least once a week. Very much recommend. My only problem was that I ate it too fast. Dietary restrictions: Celiac / gluten free
I went in with the Gordon Ramsay mentality and I loved the dishes I had
Great pint of Guinness and excellent wings
Great little pub with good service and solid food in Burlington.
The fish & chips was soooooo delicious. Melted like butter! Definitely would go back again for them.
We always go for gluten free nights on Mondays. SO delicious & safe. Wonderful service and atmosphere too!
Great menu, especially if someone in your party is gluten free (check out the Monday menu for 100% gf offerings). Generous portions so people take home their left over food so dont be shy about getting a little white box! Usually very busy and no reservations after 5:00pm, so you may have to wait for a table. Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free choices
One of my favourite spots and I keep going back. The service is incredible, and the food is absolutely delicious and incredible value. I m excited to work my way through the menu!
Did not eat so cant rate the food, looked OK though. Theyve got the atmosphere right, surprisingly broad age range in the pub younger and older. Go with friends or family, both will work if youre there for a traditional pub experience.
Took some friends from out of town here and the food was good! The atmosphere and decor is quite neat as well. Would recommend if youre looking for a bite to eat in a pub-like environment
This was my first visit to J&J but it wont be my last. Everything was excellent from the service, our waitress was great, to the food.
Great pub with an excellent atmosphere. Had the curry last week and Rueben this week - both were excellent. Fast service too.
I cant recommend this place enough! The Judge & Jury has hit the nail on the head with their gluten free Mondays. My partner has a gluten allergy and the huge gluten free Monday menu gives us the freedom to order anything and share anything without any fear of cross contamination. Our waitress Veronica was amazing, and great to talk with. On top of this, the food is amazing and the service is quick, all at a decent price. Atmosphere is top-notch, with enough wooden décor to give a beaver a coronary - truly feels like a British local! We will be coming back for gluten-free Mondays as long as we can. Bravo Judge & Jury! Definitely time well served.
Sweet little pub. Great food. Servers are nice and bartender is hilarious.
Judge & Jury never disappoints when it comes to tasty pub food. The nachos come loaded with cheese, wings come cooked to order, always a beer selection with something new to try or you can get a tried and true favourite. The staff is friendly, and attentive. Its usually filled or nearly filled but the servers really value your being there and you always feel well taken care of. It can be a bit loud but thats what happens when the game is on!
First of all The food was absolutely delicious Dale was absolutely amazing and was able to make my night One to remember.
I love going on Mondays, because they are gluten-free that day!
Classic pub vibe with great service and really, really fantastic nachos!
Typical pub grub. Delicious and well sized portions. The service was nice, and the atmosphere was decent. A place I would return to.
Great food. Large menu. Big choice of beers too.
Great food, good service, can be very busy, but thats a sign of whats in offer, decent prices, all in all, its very good
A local favorite. Always busy, great staff and atmosphere and quick service. Been there 20+ times for dinner.
Great place for a casual business lunch
We had a great lunch for my Dads birthday! Thank you so much to our amazing server who lit the candles and brought out the birthday cake!
Nice pub. The food was delicious, but we felt slightly rushed through what was meant to be a relaxing Sunday lunch. Parking: Easy parking in the lot for free.
Awesome pub atmosphere, classic black & tan pints, attentive service from seasoned servers, very good food selection.
Dale at the bar is amazing. The Yorkie are the best Ive had since my Grandma passed away! The fish is moist and the chips are cooked just right. Portions are very plentiful!
Great at vibe. 10/10 bartender Holly. Service
Terrific place to meet friends. From the time we came in to food, service great. Will go back again and again. Thank you to everyone. Parking: As I am handicapped parking almost at the entrance
Great watering hole in an industrial neighborhood. Food was prepared to my special request, very flexible. The service was great. Atmosphere is more of a pub setting.
The perfect place to celebrate St. Patrick s day. Irish classics, lively atmosphere and great company make for a perfect night out at Judge and Jury.
Great service in the bar area, great drinks and large portions
Service was great.
Great fish and chips! Friendly service.
Great north Burlington pub. Obviously popular with young and old. I heard lots of Scottish and English accents which made it even more authentic for me! Friendly atmosphere, good food and service. Very busy every time Ive stopped in. Parking: Beside/behind the restaurant Kid-friendliness: Families were enjoying dinner.
Lovely meal...I had the battered fish, and my friend had the lemon pepper haddock. Both very good. Service was good, especially considering how busy they were. Upbeat atmosphere. Will go again!
Authentic British pop experience
A wonderful place to have a nice Dinner
My wife and I just had lunch here, our server was awesome , recommended I try the Shepherds pie , it was the best I have ever had and my wife had the Greek salad with chicken and shrimp, she could not stop raving about how fresh it was, she also commented on how clean the restrooms were. Really and enjoyable experience at the Judge and Jury today
Time well served!
Servers are very friendly and had great service. When I take a trip to Burlington I always have a meal there.
Tasteless Chicken Pasta, way over priced. 1 soft drink, 1 serving pasta at noontime = $28.60.
OKAY...the sticky toffee pudding cake dessert is to die for! Someone from a Facebook group suggested it to me and I tried it and fell in love! Tastes even better than the one my grandma makes! I will be back for this again forsure! No photo cuz I devoured it!
Vegetarian options: Vegetarian Mondays. The reason we picked tis restaurant. Food
Excellent evening of great food and atmosphere
Vegetarian options: Beyond meat burger available as an option. Food
Local pub with a local crowd!
A smallish, cozy 100% pub. Lynsey was our server, and she was the best. There are so many amazing menu items, and Lynsey took us on a menu tour. Excellent dinner!! Best fish tacos. Terrific beer selection. Our first time, but we will be back! Thank you, Lynsey!
Came Friday evening for a birthday get together. There were 8 of us so we waited for a table and it was well worth the wait. Excellent food excellent service and can t say enough about our server. She was beyond amazing. Coming from the Falls it s so worth the drive. Can t wait to come back real soon. Dietary restrictions: Awesome spot for celiac peeps
Great hidden gem of a neighbourhood bar. The chicken wings (lightly dusted) was the perfect amount of crispy and the wings were super juicy. The Montreal smoked meat sandwich was delicious and flavourful.
My family & I went to the Judge and Jury on Christmas Day, we wanted to give a huge shout out to Patti (sorry if I got her name wrong) but she was a ROCKSTAR!! On her own making sure everyone was taken care of!! Always a smile on her face Thank you & happy holidays!
Went to this place on a whim for the first time yesterday with my bf. It was pretty busy (would recommend a reso for a party larger than two) but it is so cozy and well decorated inside x the staff was super friendly from hostess to server. The menu is great and the food was really good. We got the roast beef yorkies and the chicken wings and it was large portions and really tasty. The Guinness on tap is extra cold as well. Will 100% be making this part of our regular rotation! Thank you :)
The bartender Dale is a down to earth guy.
Had a great time there, food and service were amazing
Cozy little pub. Great food and service.
Good food Nice wait staff.
Amazing food as always, our server was Veronica. Super friendly and funny!
Classic English style pub. Reuben was full of freshly sliced Montreal smoked meat and crispy toasted marble rye. Lunch was busy but not too crazy to get service.
The fish and chips are my go to, tried the burger and poutine this time, and it did not disappoint (I like my burger less well done, but such is life in Canada)
One of the best and very popular pubs left in Burlington. Menu is std fare + more. Really enjoyed the nachos w/ chilli.
Best pub, best service and ambiance, very cozy place in the winter especially, love going there a lot.
Place was packed. Very nice local pub. The locals obviously love this place and it shows. The food was great.
Great food with great service. A local pub like atmosphere.
ordered take out fish & chips for 2 & a side of gravy, fish was very soggy & maybe a little under cooked, gravy container was only 1/4 full, only enough for 1 person. We have frequent here many other times for in dinning & for takeout. It might be a while before we return sorry to say.
Great food and service
Absolutely love the wings from the Judge. A great meal again. So very very good. Spectacular.
Longtime customer, I just had a terrible experience I have to share. We went and ordered the large chili nachos and asked for extra sour cream and salsa. We received such a tiny portion I actually had to ask the waitress if she had ordered the full nacho. Also, for the first time ever, I was charged for extra sour cream and salsa when I got the bill. We brought both issues up with the waitress and she said the portions and the upcharge were standard. We found her whole demeanor pretty cross. The whole experience was disappointing as we left hungry and this place used to be one of our favourites, but we will be steering clear for a good while.
My family loves the judge and jury! Never been disappointed!
Love the beef yorkies!!
Friendly staff. Great for a Bev after summer hockey on the patio! Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to enter Food : 4/5 |
Fish and chips was very good
