We traveled to Fergus for a show and during the previous week had called on multiple occasions to try and book a table but couldn't get a response. When we arrived on the Saturday evening the restaurant was very busy but Nathan and his team were very accommodating and managed to fit us in. The service was very good and the food was excellent.

Great old pub, with a really cool vibe. The night we were there it was packed, but we had great service and never felt we had to wait. Had the butter chicken and it was fabulous. Enjoyed everything about the experience at the Brew House on the Grand! Highly recommended

We ate lunch at the restaurant there. The food was good (we had fish & chips and a flatbread). The patio had a river view and it was nice to hear the water. They accommodated us and our dog.

Tonight my family and i had a dinner and the service was terrible. We were seated and had no napkins or utensils on the table. The utensils and napkins came after the dinner was served, after we addressed the fact that we didn't have anything. Our waitress never came by once to ask how the dinner was going. Very, very disappointing service! The waitress looked as though she had no interest in making sure we would be happy with our dinner. The food was okay and the portions are small. One pound of chicken wings only had 6 wings on the plate. This looked barely about 1/2 a pound.

It was very quiet on a Wednesday evening, so our waiter was able to give us excellent service. The burgers were great. The table by the window was pleasant. All in all a lovely evening before we went up to our room for the night. It was great to see that the bathroom had a complete makeover since our last stay. The room could use a couple comfortable chairs to make watching TV a bit easier. As well as a lighter table. I'd also suggest a power bar for the mini-fridge and bedside lamp and coffee maker, so you don't have to swap out plugs and so you can plug in very phones at your bestslde.

Good service. Salmon was overcooked and too dry. Rice was tasteless and had hard bits, so not cooked very well. Butter chicken was ok, and rice was the same. Nice location with outdoor patio. Be careful when going to the washroom because the floors inside are slippery. Food was average.

Convenient location on a cozy street in town. Very kind staff, tended to us in timely fashion. Staying above the restaurant as well in a room that has plenty of old timey charm. Food was fresh and delicious. Loved the feel and atmosphere like staying with family. Normally I don't worry about a review but after seeing some of the negative ones, felt I should offer our experience and perspective.

I didnt want to leave a review, as i dislike leaving negative reviews unless necessary. On the holiday monday, we showed up at about 4:30. We are a family of 4 with two children. We were seated with menus and was told our waiter would be with us shortly. We watched as three different wait staff served those around us (it was not busy and there were many open tables). Not once were we acknowledged. After 15 minutes and watching waitstaff serve a table (drinks and food ordered) who came after us, we left.

June 22, 2024

Horrible service. Went with a large group. There was a reservation so they knew we were coming. Place is dirty. Went to use the washroom and almost twisted my ankle. They had a mat in a dark dirty hall that was covering a floor vent. Food was mediocre. River was smelly.

I dont like bad reviews, for I have worked in the service industry. The waitress did not ever see if I wanted more or cared to. She acted kind while checking after 1 hour to see of I needed anything else. I sat for an hour watching her serve everyone else. I said nothing I just waited. Then after I ordered one drink I was asked by a different waitress if I needed anything. Wow... then when I paided my bill the actual waitress asked if I need anything else or am Im off?? Thats nuts ... Ive never been treated like that so I went to the Goody Noofy.... excellent!

As relatively new locals, we decided to try out the Brew House. The gentleman at the door saw me get out of the van and, when I asked if there was room inside, he said he d make room for our family of five. The atmosphere, food and service was exactly what our family needed. A true small town feel that we look forward to experiencing again for many years to come.

Only got as far as drinks. Waited 30mins for food to then be told the kitchen had just started the order. During the whole wait there was no update that the kitchen was busy or anything and no checking back on more drinks. The kicker was when we finally asked about our food and got the kitchen is just starting it there was no offer of free drinks or free anything. So we walked.

Had lunch on a Sunday of a long weekend. Great patio overlooking the Grand River. Burgers, fried pickles, cauliflower wings were all great.

April 22, 2024

TLDR: Terrible service - didnt get to try the food. Saw this place had good reviews and decided to try it before seeing a play at the Fergus Grand Theatre thinking 2 hours for a meal was more than enough time WRONG. Waited 25 min for drinks, 35 min to order. Food straight up never came and our server basically refused to apologize for the terrible service. We watched a table near us with about 10 people get two meals delivered at a time over a half hour span and knew we were doomed. So disappointed.

April 22, 2024

We made a reservation, once we arrived to the restaurant the waitress took us to a table at the very end of a room where there was a horrible cold draft. We asked to be relocated and the waitress ignored us. The food took over 1.5 hours to be served. Part of our food ended up on the floor due to the waitress rushing. All of this really ruined the experience. I don t recommend this restaurant at all!

Cute little tuck-away place to eat. the atmosphere is nice, and feels cozy. The two meals i had here were okay, as the wings were pretty overdone, and my fish sandwich was pretty bland. overall, cant complain greatly, as we still enjoyed our time and will be returning to try some more of the menu items.

Definitely a destination if you are not from the area!! We have not rented a room as we are local but on the to do list. Nearby activities: Downtown Fergus with wonderful view of the river. Walkability: In heart of downtown Fergus. Food and drinks: Great menu with possibility of special offerings.

Everytime I visit here, The quality of food is consistently good. however the service seems to be hit and miss. Last week I went, mid-week because its not as busy as the weekend. We waited almost 40minutes after our meal, to get the bill. we had to ask a server that wasnt ours, because we didnt know were our waitress went.

Its average, no huge issues, but also didnt wow me. Best part is the atmosphere of the building. Worst is that it took a long time to get food. Not enough to send back but, one dish wasnt as hot as it really should be. The vegetables looked like frozen bag veggies rather than fresh. Overall, the dish was satisfying though and the price was reasonable. Wait staff were very nice.

was there only one person in the kitchen? did they not want to work? waited almost two hours for my food to never arrive. Walked out. Thank god I did not pay for my drinks

February 22, 2024

Had a reservation for 5 people at 6:15pm. Ordered our food at 6:25 or so- standard pub food with no extra requests. Service was lousy, we were not checked upon, and an hour later we were left wondering where our food was. We explained to the waitress that we had to get to an event at 8:00pm, so we asked to pay for our bills thinking the food would be ready soon. The waitress had no explanation why food wasn t out, and we were not given any kind of apology or sorry . We were simply told the kitchen is having an off night . After another 30 mins (the waitress had still not brought our bills or checked up on us), by 7:55pm, our food still hadn t arrived. We had to get up and find the waitress and explain that we were leaving and would not be paying for our meals as we never received them. We offered to pay for our few drinks, but she luckily told us not to worry about it. If I could give 0 stars, I would. Don t waste your time visiting this restaurant.

UPDATE on Breakfast. We went to have breakfast Sunday morning. We were one of the first customers. Staff always great just a little tired at 830 am but understandable. We were excited to try the buffet. A good selection of breakfast items but most of the hot items were cold. That was a disappointment. They are probably working out all the kinks. We will try it again. I love the Brew House. What a great atmosphere. Always greeted and treated well by the staff. Service is prompt and the food is excellent. One time there was an issue with our take out order and the owner called us just as I got home. He said there was an error and he drove it over to our pace himself. A great location in Fergus to entertain friends, families or visitors.

So disappointed in my visit today....hadnt been to the Brew House for a few years....previously when I lived in the area, ate here often and was NEVER disappointed...but today they were off their game....table was sticky when we sat down....my friends and I were excited to dine here again...we had all come expressly for the cheese and Ale soup....but that was off the menu, as was several of the comfort food selections I remembered...our server was really friendly and helpful...we ordered lunch...a Caesar salad, a veg bowl and some buttered chicken curry poutine, salad and veg bowl were ok according to my friends but my poutine was not....the cheese curds were cold , not melted and the buttered chicken was still frozen! (At least the chicken bits were)...asked the server to heat it in the microwave...which he did, and returned it to me a little warmer but as we all know, microwaves create soggy fries and hot and cold spots...so I did eat some of the hot spots...which was very tasty, the curry was just cold....the beer-on-tap list deserves an honourable mention...may eat here again but wont be a first choice any longer.

December 22, 2023

Went into the Brew House and waited for a waitress, to ask if we could sit on the patio. She said that they were short staffed and that was not possible in a very rude manner. I said thats too bad for years I have wanted to stop in! She said there was nothing they could do. I think its a shame to turn away good paying customers. She didnt even offer to make reservations so that we could come back another time. Lots of other local resteraunts that have great food and friendly service and appreciate the business....that I would rather spend my money on.

If it was possible, I would give this place 10 stars. Genuinely. This is the best place I ve ever eaten at. I ve tried multiple things on the menu including fish and chips, poutine, coleslaw, beef stew, mushroom spinach Florentine, brisket on a bun, California chicken flatbread, spin dip and their three desserts from the day I was there which included carrot cake, lava cake and a turtles cheesecake. Everything is beyond expectations and I honestly believe it is impossible for them to make bad food. Everything is the best of the item that I ve eaten in my life. The service is also fantastic. Every waitress I ve had has been very attendant and courteous. The owner was also very nice in the interaction I ve had with them. If you haven t eaten here, you re doing yourself a disservice. If you want to eat at restaurant within any sort of distance of this place, whether that be 10 minutes or 10 hours, change your mind and come here. Cannot praise this restaurant enough, amazing food, amazing people, amazing drinks and an amazing vibe/atmosphere with an amazing view. Thank you Brewhouse on the grand for giving me an amazing experience every time I have came. Will most definitely be back as many times as humanly possible. Vegetarian options: Multiple dishes come with vegetarian substitutions if that s your wish. Parking: Parking is close to building and easily accessible. Kid-friendliness: Family oriented restaurant, lots of ages there and everyone feels welcome.

I had the opportunity to stay at the Brew House on February 18, 2023. I was in town for a black history month event.. The room was very spacious and comfy. My view of the river was an unexpected added bonus. The restaurant was hands down, figuratively speaking ... more than I expected. The food was good, the service was exceptional, and the overall atmosphere was like home. It was warm and inviting, calm, and as an out-of-towner, I really felt...WELCOMED!

The Brew House is located in the very scenic downtown of Fergus Ontario. One of many limestone structures, the Brew House boasts tastefully decorated rooms, a patio overlooking the river, while being encased in the beautiful, aforementioned limestone. The food was enjoyed by all; fish and chips, brisket, falafel wrap, a burger, fish cakes, our entire party was satisfied. Our Server knew her job well and very competently met our needs. The kitchen was a tick slow in preparing our food, but it was well worth the wait.

Had a reservation booked 1 month in advance for a wedding party. They continued to not hold reservation or have food ready for when it was suppose to be. All we were told is we will ove some things around, which we still didnt have enough seating for everyone. Ended up getting food to go which food still wasnt ready on time. Food was ready 2.5 hrs after is was suppose to be ready.

Apparently a reservation didnt matter, my daughter booked in advanced for her sisters wedding dinner including pre-ordering meals. None of this resulted in dinner because they gave the pre-booked space away and failed completely in providing any service to correct the situation even with multiple opportunities with reminders throughout the day. The server had nothing but excuses and attitude to the point of rudeness.

December 22, 2023

Horrible meal was so overcooked it was inedible. Went for Mother s Day to find out they only had a brunch menu with 6 items, very disappointing. With so little on the menu, you would think it would of been fabulous. We got a sorry from the waitress when she dropped the bill, wasn t her fault but had she stopped by to check in at any point, I could of ordered something else. Don t waste your time or money.

A Fantastic breezeway patio over looking the river greets you. Once inside, you get an English pub on the Thames vibe! It has an eclectic local feel and the staff are very friendly. The dining room gives you the opportunity for conversation at a relaxed pace. I ordered the Creamy Chicken Ceasar Salad and a 9oz glass of white wine. The portion size makes it more a main dish than an app! I sat on the patio with some view of the river. The locals I met had great things to sat about the Brew House. The prices are mid range, but the food is well worth it. In my opinion, a jewel in the rough. Parking: I can imagine on a busy night (Tuesdays are Wing Night and Trivia Night) parking in front of the restaurant might be difficult. But the street parking is free.

My fiancé and I went there and ordered a chipotle chicken clubhouse with a Caesar salad and a burger and another Caesar salad. We waited 45 minutes for our food. Both salads came with hardly any dressing. I returned my chicken sandwich and salad. My fiancé was starving so she ate her salad. Her burger is burnt and has ABSOLUTELY ZERO flavour. NEVER AGAIN. is the grease from the patty or cheese supposed to give this burger flavour and moisture??? Thank you for ruining my date night out during the long weekend. I DEFINITELY have tons of free time without our 3 children to do this again soon Nearby activities: Waste more time?

Place was packed likely because Goofie Newfie was closed for the long weekend Sunday (we originally planned to go there, and it was not posted on Google that they were closed). Unfortunately, service was slow for us because either the cooks or server forgot about our orders. There were people who came in over 30 minutes after us that got their food before us. My mom was getting to a breaking point and I had to calm her down a couple of times (especially since the same thing happened to us at a restaurant in Goderich months ago). My uncle also eventually went to the server and she said they are prioritizing appetizer orders (even though one of us in the party of four ordered an appetizer). We didn t buy into it because the guy at the table next to us who got there after us ordered what looked like a regular meal. That being said, my food was pretty good, hence why the place gets two stars instead of one. I wish The Brew House the best in the future.

Very friendly staff (highlight!), nice atmosphere and good food and drinks. I was expecting a little more of the beer options, a bit more variety and less of the same (Mill St and other common beers). Still, they had a great one on the rotating tap. Food was very tasty - it is not cheap, but good quality.

We had an amazing evening. Last month during a festival on the weekend we called the day of to see about space on the patio for a group of 3. Even though they had a massive reservation coming they were able to find us room, and plenty of time to enjoy a few drinks, appetizers and main course. I had the brisket on a bun, and it was absolutely delicious! One of the best sandwiches I think Ive ever had. Friendly and informative staff, thanks so much, definitely recommend, fantastic food and drinks at a great location.

We went here fore lunch on a visit to Fergus. Not knowing their were hosting a mid evil festival. The pub staff were very busy accommodating everyone who appeared at their door. we were seated in the hot sun so the wait was tedious but the staff was very apologetic when they serviced out table. Good food, Great location Noteworthy details: Not a Hotel. A great pub though

Salmon and broccoli was over cooked. Service was slow, and the minimum tip option is 20%. I prefer to have a choice on tip % depending on good or bad service. The sweet potato fries were good! I would suggest to only order pub-type food here if you are a foodie. I also wish they had more creative or unique non-alcoholic beverage choices (kombucha, mock tails, house-made iced teas etc.).

Service was really slow, the patio was busy but I barley saw the servers it was like they were hiding in the kitchen. Food isnt really worth the price, I got a sandwich and they definitely cheap out on supplies and quality. The nachos were really salty and its like they threw it together it 5 seconds with canned corn and beans

My Wife and I decided to take a cruise to Fergus to check it out and have lunch at the Brew House as reviews were decent. We arrived and seated at 1:30pm and restaurant didnt seem to be busy. Ordered a couple of beers and I was surprised that the Brew House didnt have more beers choices. Placed a food order right after and our server forgot to punch in so waited another 45 min for food and when it arrived it was cold. That tells me it sat in the kitchen for a while. Then to be prompted with a 20% tip was a slap in the face after waiting so long. Server was friendly but very disorganized . Used the washroom after eating and all I can say is gross. Urine all over the floor no toilet paper holder paper towel dispenser empty and both the hand paper towel and toilet paper on top of the toilet. I hope the owners can bring there sanitation standards up . We wont be back.

Table was super sticky, washroom situation was weird, food was dry and pretty bland. Neat place for a drink but only if you can snag one of the few tables with a view. A not-so-great dinner out could have been overlooked if the waiter hadnt added an $18 appetizer to our bill that we didnt order... We almost missed it, and mistakes DO happen, but the way he played it off was super sketchy. He didnt really apologize, he just made weird incoherent excuses? Felt like a mistake that we caught it, not a mistake that it happened... Then of course on top of that you are prompted to give a 20% tip lol. So if youre dining here, make sure you read your bill carefully!

Obviously this is my opinion of the Brew House from my 1st visit, though the rest of my family has been here. As for the food that we ordered it was fantastic, with the wings being probably one of the best I have had in a long time. We all ordered different meals and I grabbed bits from all of them and they were great. As for the service on our visit, it was fantastic with a very engaged Manager making sure everything was fine. The other tables seemed to be regulars to the Brew House and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. This is my impression of said place. And I would surely return.

Don t hesitate run to the Brew House for their large food and beverage menu paired with great hospitality. If you want a lil extra they do trivia nights!

Went here with my parents, 2 woman behind were seated after. They got served first. At least 4 waitresses working, didnt see 1 smile among any of them. Our waitress had short shoulder length blonde hair, spoke very little to us, not personable, no smile at all. Food was fine but the service was garbage P.s. I grew up in this area, the brew house has an appetizer called anijitos that have been around quite a while. They were tasteless, rolled up, tortilla with cream cheese in it. Such a fall from grace this place has become.

Sadly this visit to Brewhouse on the Grand was very disappointing. I ordered a power bowl with greens and salmon and it was very tasty but it took 40-45 minutes to get to the table. The bread was another 15 minutes after that. I had to keep asking for when my food would arrive as she didn t check in with me while I waited. It would have been a nice gesture if she would ve asked me if I d like some bread while I m waiting (and not charge me $2 for it!). It seemed the wait staff (at least my waitress) is inexperienced and did not work proactively or efficiently. There was a whole lot of walking back and forth but with empty hands. I m hoping this is a one-off as I ve been here before and it s never been like this.

December 22, 2022

Long time customer of your pub. My husband and I walked to your patio for a drink and apps. The patio had 6 empty tables but only one was a table for two and in full sun. The hostess told us the others were reserved although none had signs indicating so. We could either stay in full sun or eat inside. No option to move table to shade or otherwise accommodate us other than inside. Very disappointed. Went elsewhere. Perhaps hostess should be trained to be flexible in seating patrons.

We had passed the brew house for years on our way up north - my daughter thought it looked interesting and kid friendly - 6 of us for lunch. It took 50 minutes to get our food and it was ok but not great. The quesadillas were tasty. The table was not clean - it was sticky and needed a good cleaning. The floors/carpet on the way to the bathrooms was dirty and needed to be cleaned thoroughly. First visit and last visit. Our wait staff person was very good.

I wanted to love this but we wound up paying for our meal before it arrived (4people) and leaving after our utensils were filthy and things were floating in our glasses.

The view is stunning and hopefully we just caught it on a tough day.

My daughter and I were traveling to visit family and decided to stop for dinner.What an amazing place!! The indoor seating is cozy and reminded me of an Irish pub! We were able to get a table on the patio overlooking the river. Our server and the hostess were very friendly and attentive. My daughter has food intolerances and everyone was so accommodating. I had the 1 pc. fish and chips and my daughter had the salmon. It was incredibly good!! It was one of the best dining experiences Ive had in a long time. We did have to wait an hour for our food, but it was busy, so Im sure the kitchen was slammed. Besides, the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Will definitely stop back if I get the chance.

We ordered , 20 min later were told they did not have cauliflower wings. Vegan guest then ordered a burger without the patty with all the trimmings. Other guest ordered regular burger with bacon and gravy on the side. Nachos and wings with lemon pepper rub were the other orders. Food finally came, no bacon, no gravy no lemon pepper rub on the wings They advertise best wings in town! Worst dried out wings ever, no taste, nachos were dried and chips burnt. Got the bill and charged for two full burgers, plus bacon and gravy .Finally had bill resolved. We all came home and within an hour we were all in the bathroom with stomach pain. Will not eat hear again! Vegetarian options: Cauliflower wings on the menu and after the order went in they needed 20 min to tell us they didnt have any. Other choices are poor
