We sat in the bar and waited much longer than expected to be greeted. We actually flagged someone down to bring us menus. We were there for drinks and appetizers. The food was delicious and innovative. Good selection of cocktails and beers.

Food was either cold or at best warm. Sent my dinner back because potatoes were cold and it was nuked so salmon became over cooked and dry.salad was not served before main course Fries undercooked. Server was sweet but overall not a good experience

The place was amazing. The environment at the restaurant is beyond the expectations. The drinks menu has plenty of options available. Service was great. The only disappointment was the food. The taste of the food was not great. I think they need to work on that.

Food was good, and the atmosphere was ok. The interior was nice, and kept tidy and clean, but they had live music which was absolutely horrible and killed any good vibe they may have otherwise created. I would suggest playing music off a satellite radio or something instead of live music unless you are confident in the quality of your act. They definitely put me off from going back if there is live music. And it wasn't a case of having an off night...they needed a lot more practice. Otherwise, the service was good and their speed and attentiveness was acceptable. Prices were a bit high for the quality of the food. It was average pub grub with above average prices.

I came here for the first time tonight- Let me first say, I was taken by surprise by the menu options!! I opted for the butter chicken entree and wow!!! The naan was pillow-y soft and the butter chicken was creamy and delicious! Definitely a dish that could fill two with left overs to spare. Oz made a wonderful spicy margarita for me and he did an absolute banging job! Def coming back here with the family :) so happy it's close to home! Great job doing what you're doing guys!! Keep it up

Last minute dinner plans and decided to visit Squires since the recent re-opening. So glad we went. They were not very busy for a Saturday night but hopefully that will change. The renovation is lovely and this is not a basic pub anymore. Great spot for a casual or a nice dinner or drinks. Roomy velvet banquets, huge screen and great bar. We ate on patio. Service was very good. Food was very good with fair portions. Only complaint is $22 for a 9 oz glass of basic Sauvignon Blanc. Wine could be better for that price. Ordered salmon, butter chicken and Mac and cheese. Everyone enjoyed their meal. We will definitely be back.

A great spot for some good Irish Pub food and excellent East Indian fare as well! A nice sized well appointed patio with lots of seating to accommodate many guests. The interior is typical pub style with nice accents. The food is served plentiful and hot. I’d recommend the chicken fingers for their taste and size and the Curry dishes and spot on!

Stopped by here on a Friday night. The host who greeted us, Tushar, was really friendly and promptly seated us at what we thought were the best seats in the house! Big table with a round booth right by the kitchen entrance where servers were going in and out. Unfortunately that s where our service ended, after we were sat, we had at least 4 different servers pass by our tables and not once ask if we ve been taken care of- for at least 15 minutes. Just as we were getting ready to try our luck elsewhere, Tushar stopped by on his way to the kitchen and asked if we were taken care of. We alerted him that we still hadn t been visited by our server. He promptly took our drink order and a server was with us shortly after. Drinks were amazing and the nachos were okay as well. Our server applied a 15 percent discount to our bill to acknowledge the wait which we appreciated. Tushar really saved our experience that evening, and turned what could have been a real disappointment of a date night into a win.

I ordered door dash at 10:07 pm at this restaurant , they proceeded to accept my order and at 10:42 they canceled it ! I called and asked why and they said the kitchen was closed ! I asked when it closed they said 10:30 if I ordered at 10:07 then the kitchen wouldn t have been closed . And for that reason I m giving a one star review

Had an amazing time at Squires Gastro Pub! The ambiance is incredible, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The menu offers a fantastic variety. I highly recommend it!! You wont be disappointed.

October 21, 2024

The waitress was friendly. The food took an hour to come and was wrong. Fish and chips was good, but other items questionable. Chow mein dry and hardly any vegetables. The pub its self has lost all character following the renovations! Highlighted issues to the manager and she took the item off the bill.

★★★★
October 21, 2024

Food a bit pricey, but good. Big menu. Would be nice if there was just a good, plain burger option. Had the Juicy Lucy burger which was a double Pattie! Luckily my server, Kim, cautioned me on the size of the meal. Well, I have half my meal in a box for takeout. Thanks Kim! Food

I will start by saying, the rennovations at this place look incredible. Nice to see the friendly faces of the staff that are still with the company, but there were some issues with lunch service today. Our server seated my and my coworker quickly (which was ideal with us being on lunch break) and we ordered a drink and took a moment with the menus. We had ordered our lunch by 12:30 and noted that other tables around were getting seated. Looked like a really great lunch service. My first red flag was seeing that the couple that was seated in front of us was served their food before us... the same happened with a single woman that was seated after the fact. After almost 50 minutes the manager approached us and let us know that there would be a wait for the food. We said it was fine in the interest of being accomodating. It took us almost 90 minutes to get our food... no compensation for our time, no offers or reconcilliation. Just a sorry. I hope your boss understands. I will not be returning. Great place to eat if you have 2 hours to burn... Sucks because I really wanted to have a good experience.

My wife and I just happened to stop in on a Monday, and we have to admit this place is awesome, everything is on point. I had the lamb shank and it was absolutely delicious, my wife had the fish and chips this in turn was fantastic, unfortunately she did mention that the red cabbage coleslaw could have been been better. All and all we would recommend this establishment, it was delicious.

We went back after their recent renovation. It looks nice enough. We were seated on the patio. After having a number of good experiences over the past couple of years (posted a positive review previously) we were expecting something similar. The website doesnt show pricing and now I know why. Pretty much everything is over-priced to fine dining levels. No one came to the table after several minutes so we got up and left and had a very good, realistically priced meal elsewhere. We wont be back.

★★★
August 21, 2024

First visit after renovation. Walls and separation between booth have been removed to create a more open looking and larger feeling space. Material used seem to be higher end with nice covering over benches and seats. Not everything is well though out however. We sate in a semi circular booth with a square table which was awkward and not as comfortable as it could have been. If you like the cosyness , privacy and and sound dampening provided by a booth then this is not for you. Appetizer prices are high , 22-23 $ for six pieces of brushetta , 16-16-17 $ for a Ceaser salad (just noted the price , didnt order) Onion ring were reasonable at only about $7 (and they were hot and quite good). Entre prices are in line with what I expect to pay now days with a lot of choices , but the portion size that we received was tiny. I am not sure if this is %100 deliberate or a result of the choice of the style of China that was used. We each had the butternut squash ravioli, wish was good not great and was so small I didnt require an extra pint with my meal. I felt a bit taken advantage of and opted to leave a bit hungry and have a snack and drink at home instead of getting something extra. Service was very good with the server being attentive. 2 Drinks , an appetizer, a side and two of the lower priced entrees are about $100 which is in line with other prices in the area but the small portion sizes and poor acoustics mean I will not be returning soon. One other comment, they do not post their prices on their website which also annoys me.

If you are looking for a phenomenal dining experience.. look no further than Squires. We absolutely loved the ambience live DJ and music.

August 21, 2024

have been a long time customer of Squires Pub. We went to see new renovated space. It is very bistro like and not crazy about the decor. They are trying to cater to a younger crowd and the bar will be their cash source, if people show up. The biggest disappointment was to discover the beef dip is no longer on the menu. They are not serving breakfast ... not sure about if and when they will serve breakfast. Been there 2x and there were not a lot of people as in the good old days. Two older ladies walked in sat down and then decided to leave. We will not be back as well. Prices for food have gone up as well! So sad I miss the pub.

I wish I could give lower stars. I was in shock from the renovations and man oh man has it ever changed. The chicken was okay but everything else we got, we were not impressed with (tomato soup, butternut squash ravioli, truffle fries, and Shepards pie). We had to pay a lot of money for this disappointing dinner. We come here all the time and bring our families here every month. I do NOT recommend going to this new squires. They could not do anything about our bill, just 20% which is not much for the amount of food we ordered. We will NOT be coming back to this restaurant again. Lots of complaints by others around us in the restaurant too. This is sad, it used to be an amazing pub. Also, a small tip for the assistant manager when speaking with customers (as a person who has been in the restaurant industry for a long time), do NOT walk away and interrupt customers when they voice their complaints/ why they did not enjoy their meal.

Fastest food I ve ever gotten and amazing service. We were asked 2-3 times if we wanted anything else and how the food is. Every time we said it was amazing. Definitely recommend for family s and small groups. The atmosphere is great too. Modern but still cozy. Our waitress Bianca was amazing. She was very funny and never failed to put a smile on our faces every time she visited the table. Their Alfredo dumplings are to die for. Lots of variety and things to choose from. 11/10 definitely recommend coming here if you live in Burlington or outside of Burlington.

Went with friends, two couples, both ordered arancini risotto balls which according to the menu had a filling of pulled lamb. 2 portions of 6 and not a scrap of lamb to be seen. One of our party had chicken fried chicken for entree. Menu said comes with fries actually came with what we think was mashed potatoes. Salad that was served with it was rotten in some parts and looked to be 2 to 3 days old. Fish and Chips were OK and salmon entree was good. Speciality cocktails at $23 each, wine by glass. Both overpriced. We told our waitress, but manager didn t come to check on us. If you want to charge premium prices you need to deliver a premium product, which this wasn t. Way better options in Burlington. We won t be back.

The food was delicious. Small servings, but very flavourful. Prices have gone up because its now under new ownership. Service wasnt great. Barely checked on throughout the dinner; had to get our servers attention in order to get refills which had been sitting empty for quiet a while. There were only two other tables seated the entire time we were there. The servers would hangout around the host desk more often than anything else.

We came to celebrate a coworker s 60th birthday and we had a great table in the centre of the restaurant near the fireplace. The atmosphere is charming and relaxed. The food was delicious.

Squires was a great experience. We found it totally by accident as we were bowling in the area and wanted something close to the bowling alley. Were a group of five, and were seated promptly at around table that was amazing. Our waitress Rachel was very knowledgeable about the menu and mentioned the specials of the day and also suggested some things we may like. It was very friendly atmosphere and our waitress made our meal very enjoyable. I would definitely return.

Just had dinner this evening. The food was terrible!! Shepherds pie was a clump of lord knows what, the Yorkshire puddings tasteless and the Caesar salad was very strange!! not the pub we remember!!

Had the cauliflower bites. They were definitely not bites. The cauliflower is clearly cooked from raw, biting into them was like biting into a raw head of cauliflower it was not pleasant. The food overall is severely lacking. The fish in the fish and chips was in a very bready batter (vs a beer batter) and tacky when eating. The fries tasted like they had been sitting there for a while as well. The crowd seemed to love it there though, I guess its just not my thing.

Horrible fish and chips. Soggy batter, no taste and expensive. The thistle is much better. Small menu with little options. Bar had no white Bacardi rum!! And they ran out of olive juice for martinis!!! What bar is not fully stocked????? The only saving grace was our waiter. We won t be back.

We have been coming here for years and until recently, was always really good. It has fallen off in recent months, but on our last visit was the final straw. I ordered a club sandwich, it was very bland and tasteless. I looked inside and noticed they had missed out the mayo. I mentioned this and some was dropped off. When we got the bill though, we noticed we had been charged for the mayo!!! They would not remove it. Im done, no more Squires for us!

Great fast and friendly service. Ordered some food for pick up and when I went to pay found out it was part of the lunch deal! Was the perfect amount of food for a lunch. Will be going back to grab some more lunch items. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and lots of TVs for watching games. Will have to check out the patio this summer.

Just stopped in for a quick visit with friends. Ordered keylime pie and a fancy coffee. The pie was way too sweet, I only had the first bite and told the waitress I didnt like it but they did not take it off the bill. The service was fast and the waitress was nice but she left dirty dishes on our table the whole time we were there. I would not recommend the dessert or the specialty coffees, not good for the price. Did not eat a meal there so cannot comment.

December 21, 2023

Waited 40 minutes and appetizer did not even make it. No one paid any attention until we got up to pay for our drinks and leave. Parking: Great parking lot, would use it again to go to a different restaurant.

Incredible food with a cozy atmosphere. There was a lot of flavour in the food, and it was served fresh and hot.

We use to love this place but the menu changed and so many of the great dishes are gone now (pizza, irish nachos). That said, the fried chicken is amazing and Ive never had crispier. The staff was virtually non-existent on our last visit and it was hard to even get a drink refill or everything we ordered. The website isnt kept current and a lot of the prices were different when we arrived and saw the real menu. I think it would do them a lot of good to have a mystery shopper in once and awhile.

It has a patio that is nice to sit at for a drink. Food wise, four of us visited, and the food was just Ok. One sent her meal back, and the rest kept their meals. And if they want to get into the game, figure out how to compete for wing nights as the pricing set up is ridiculous.

I came in on a Tuesday because I noticed on their website that they had a burger & Pint special at 4pm as well as half price apps 3-6. When I got there I asked if they had any food specials on today and was told no. Opened the menu and noticed the half price apps on the first page and asked if this deal was still on and was told oh yeah I think thats on until 6. It seems like nobody was aware of any of the specials posted on the website. My recommendation would be: 1 Remove any specials from the website that are not honored, 2 train the staff about any specials going on during the week so they can inform the guests when they arrive. First time dropping in but I think Ill pass on this place. The weakly specials are a great way to get people in the door but I have no confidence the specials are even a thing or if the website is out dated

Sat on a booth in the bar area, seat was soaked with some sort of liquid. Asked the server for a towel to sit on to soak up my wet pants. When I realized she had forgotten about me, I went and asked her for a towel and she handed me a wet rag, I took some napkins and sat on those. Used the bathroom, no toilet paper! Used to come here quite often before covid, since then, downhill. Trying to type this while fighting off the fruit flys. Very disappointed in the environment. Ordered haddock and chips, much smaller fish portion and. Wont be back and spreading the word.

Not sure where to begin. Came in for dinner with myself and my wife and 3 children. Was greeted at the door and the manager licked her fingers to get my kids 3 kids meals. (Gross) Arrived at the table and there were a couple of bugs on the table eating the crumbs left behind from the previous guests. Server cleaned the table. We ordered our food 2 kids meals and 3 entrees. I asked for a recommendation for myself and she recommended the burger but needed to read the menu because she couldn t remember the name. I agreed to the burger and was excited to try it. She repeated our order and it wasn t correct. I corrected the order and she said ok. We ordered 1 white milk and she came back to say the restaurant had no milk. The waitress said the manager was busy and the chef that does the ordering was off for 2 weeks. There were a total of 3 tables that were seated and eating in our section but as busy and understaffed as she mentioned she still had time to be texting or browsing on her cell phone. We received most of our order and had the kids and my wife start eating. My recommended burger didn t arrive. She came to see how everything was and I mentioned that if the burger wasn t on the way to just cancel it. She asked what I had ordered and I thought she was kidding. I mentioned didn t you recommend something for me? She said she didn t remember. At that point the experience was a 0 . No manager came to the table to apologize. She then came to ask if the kids wanted the included ice cream. We said 3 vanilla scoops. She repeated 3 vanilla scoops and my wife and I were amazed that she was now on the ball. She brings out the ice cream. 2 vanilla and 1 chocolate. SMH. At this point we had given up hope. I thought maybe there was a hidden camera and we were on some kind of prank show. Absolutely horrible service. The worst I have ever had and had to write this review. Food was a 3 star. Service below 0

Exactly what I want in a Pub - cozy, variety of sports, perfect music volume, friendly staff and delicious food. I got the $12 lunch, available from 1130-3pm, and cant believe that it also included a side! I got the buffalo chicken wrap (so delicious! I got hot and while it could have been hotter it still had excellent flavour) with fries (crispy outside, potato-y inside ) and their Squires Pilsner ALL for only $16! I will definitely be back! Oh and the British (?) woman who served me at the bar was excellent

This place feels like a authentic English pub. I will make sure my the cricket team of Burlington visit here as well feel like home being here.

December 21, 2023

Where to begin? Let me start off by saying I ve been here before ( Pre-Pandemic) and I m sure they had a different owner back then. It USED to be good. Now? Unprofessional, untrained staff - it s as if they hired people with no clue about service. The food? A dismal 2 out of 10. I was waited on by a blonde girl; I ll refrain from mentioning her name. The experience was so terrible I felt like I should ve placed my own order and served myself. Even the manager, Sheila, I presume, stepped in to help, but to no avail. Does she even have any idea about managing a restaurant? What on earth are you doing running this place? I d strongly suggest selling the restaurant, hiring new chefs, and starting from scratch. This is utterly not working. To add to the dismay, I was accompanied by an old friend visiting from out of town, hoping to impress him with local cuisine. Instead, he witnessed this fiasco. His bewildered expressions matched mine with each passing moment - from the mishandled order to the lackluster dishes that eventually arrived. It was an embarrassment, not just for me but for the entire establishment. Such a shame, given the potential this place once had.

My family of 11(8 adults, 3 kids) recently dined in for dinner on a Saturday evening(6pm). My fiancé and I have dined here many times in the past and had a great experience with the food and okay service, so we were looking forward to bringing our extended family to try it out while they were in town. We were pretty disappointed and turned off the whole restaurant after our latest visit. For a Saturday evening, it was actually quite slow in the dining room, with many open tables, so I m really not sure what the excuse was for the slow and mediocre service. We ordered 3 appetizers, nachos, potato skins and bruschetta, all which looked great except the bruschetta had more red onion than tomato, and in large chunks so all you could taste was onion. I personally pulled a medium length blonde hair out of my mouth after a couple bites into my Forty creek burger, I don t usually complain about a hair on the plate especially if it is the same colour as mine and could have come from me but this was from the centre of my burger (My hair is also dark brown and long, so it definitely didn t come from me.) they offered to remake it and took my plate away, fries and all. After my family wa pretty much finished their meals my burger arrived without my fries we then asked for the fries since I only ate 3 before finding a hair. Fries came, tasted like the same fries that were just reheated. My moms ceaser salad tasted off after 3 of us tried it to make sure it wasn t just her, we were told it was probably too much anchovies they took the salad away and said they would take it off the bill. Buffalo chicken sandwich, tasted like the sauce had been sitting in the fridge too long or tasted like fridge. A few other small things about the food but not enough to complain about. On top of all this, for most of our dinner, who we thought could have been the manager or owner stood at the front by the hostess stand with her arms crossed, staring at our table, sometimes accompanied by another waitress. Our waiter seemed a little shy, he did apologize for everything but I wouldn t say he went out of his way to make the experience any better. We were pretty disappointed the manager never came over to apologize after all the issues we encountered with our food. The whole experience left a bad taste in our mouths and I don t think we will be back anytime soon.

There is something extra special about the service and food here. Tonight, I went to Squires Public House for dinner with my two parents and daughter. The oh meal was as wonderful as it usually is, and we were treated to extra attention from Kim, our server tonight. From Kim s sense of humour to her special treatment of my daughter, to the scrumptious food; the night turned from ordinary to spectacular. The manager came to check our table frequently, confirmed that everything was perfect and that we felt meticulously cared for. We were able to enjoy each other s company while Kim and staff took care of the details. The staff takes the time to smile, introduce themselves and we were greeted like family. The service is so personal, so caring and so welcoming that one feels one is part of the caring team there. The atmosphere is tastefully festive for the start of the Christmas season. I highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding to cap off the meal. We will be making this a regular family meetup place!

We were a group of 7 and went there on mid week after 9pm, so there was no rush. So the atmosphere was really perfect for us. The spinach and artichoke dip was really awesome. The waitress even offered the refils for pita bread multiple times. We had the puplic house burger, and the bun and patty were good, but it felt like if it was a bit more saucy, it would have been perfect. We had an amazing offer for wings where they offered one wing for .99 $. We went there on a Wednesday. Wings were just perfect and tasty. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options were less

Let me start off by saying the staff was so delightful and the service was great! Food was okay! I had the Fish & Chips. The fish was good but missing a little something (I think it has something to do with the seasoning). Otherwise, their fries are sooooo bomb . They remind me so much of the Burger Priest fries. My husband was saying that his was okay as well. Again, something was missing with his fried chicken in regards to flavour and texture. Overall, I would come back as their food wasn t bad and was super affordable, the atmosphere was great, and I would love to try their shepherds pie! The flavour of our dishes was the only reason I docked a .

After waiting an hour and half we still hadn t received our food .we were very understanding because they were busy but after an hour and half we never got checked on once. The waitress brought our drinks and we literally didn t get spoken to again the entire time. Finally threw cash on table on walked out before the food even came. We understand they were busy but utter lack of communication was unbelievable. Not even to ask for refills or your order will be another 10 minutes anything we better than being ignored.

I had visited squires the other day with some friends, and the food was just okay. Our server was amazing during our time there. However, we mainly came for their $4.50 pints, we had checked their website ahead of time and no where did they say that there was a time limit on the $4.50 pints. It specified that on Friday after 4:00pm they had 2-for-1 fish and chips, but when I spoke to the manager she brought out a piece of paper that said their specials. She didn t honour the specials online, but blamed it on a girl who does their website. The manager was incredibly rude, belittling, and had little customer service etiquette. Won t be returning because of the manager.
