We had the 35.00 date night special. I can't recall the choices of available with this special, however, it was an adequate deal. We did choose the burger entrees and the size of the burger was really quite small. Other than that we enjoyed our meal
Yeah this place was a huge bummer. Me and my boyfriend arrive at 7:05 and we get seated pretty quickly yet we patiently waited 10 minutes just to order our beverages and it took another 10 minutes to be served them. Drinks were great, I had some melon cocktail and it was great while he stuck with a classic draft. So we are seated inside and our view was two people literally right infront of us and we are surrounded completely with people. The place is cluttered and the table placements are very questionable.. also little note it’s a very noisey inside and there was no music, sitting outside would be the best option. Very compact and close inside. Now the food was just an extreme let down, not only were we pushing an hour just sitting but the food was like it was someone’s first day in the kitchen. I ordered the chicken Parmesan and it was burnt, barely had any marinara sauce on the breasts and the noodles were horrific they were all clumped together and cold and still hard like. It was awful. I couldn’t eat it and for $26 ?? Crazy I told my waitress who was super polite about it and she took it off my bill. But we also had the cannon barrels and for $18 you get 5 cold centred pizza pocket like things but with chicken in it also was drenched in grease. My partner order the classic cannons burger and he said it was very ordinary and basic but nothing bad to say about it just not what you would crave. Overall I think giving the 2 stars was even generous. Not sure what the hype is about the place but seems to be usually packed…maybe after slamming down another couple drinks it would be mediocre at best.
Food was excellent and the service was incredible. Great place, great food and the staff are friendly.
Maybe it was a bad night but I got a chicken burger and a poutine take out; to start the poutine - fries were good, curds are curds, but the gravy was a bit spicy for a poutine there is plenty of other places with larger servings with a better gravy. Now the burger - Chicken was drier than hell, way over cooked, the entire bun wasn't just heated but burnt they put a ton of mayo on it to take away the taste of the burnt bun; the lettuce was the right away, can't judge the breading since like I said the chicken was over cooked.
I am from Nova Scotia many good wing nights spent here working on the road over the past years. The wings and service is great I always stop here when I am in town one of my favorite spots in Fredericton
I have lunch here from time to time. Everything here is so good and their soup for the side is surprisingly good! It’s a bit oily and creamy. And there’s a nice friendly atmosphere in the evenings. The burger on the photo is their Hot Head, one of my faves. The spiciness and pickles make the match!
The pub’s proximity to our motel made it a convenient choice for dining. It was our first visit, and our group of four ordered three appetizers - mozzarella sticks, onion rings, and chicken wings - all of which were delectable. Our main meals, including the steak salad, steak dinner, pulled pork sandwiches, and chicken Parmesan, were equally enjoyable. Personally, I found the steak salad particularly delightful. The mozzarella sticks were thick and satisfying, while the chicken wings were a highlight, especially since they were 50% off on Wednesdays. The service was exceptional, and we appreciated the thoughtful and friendly server. The only drawback was that we weren’t informed about a large group seated next to us, which caused interruptions due to their noisy behavior. Despite that, we were overall satisfied with the substantial portions of food presented during our visit.
Found it dark and loomy, there was a musty smell in the air. Maybe it was the smell of beer in the air? Our Appitizer was good, fries were good, they looked home cut? the burger was good, but too buttery on the top of the bun. Waitress was nice and friendly, stopped by our table to see how things were, as for the Appitizer tray, should had more chips, and or a 3rd choice of crackers or something, there was a grilled pita bread which was very good. The dips were yummy. Just found it dark in there.
Had Nachos and it was good! Good time had by all !
I enjoyed the food and atmosphere here! The staff is friendly and welcoming! Reasonable prices!
The Americano pub style food is excellent. The terrace is pleasant. The service is great. I really like it when I go through Fredericton.
I always like cannons cross pub but the last time in was very disgusting, gum all underneath the tables and a horrible musty smell, makes you wonder whats behind the scenes. Shame on management. Never going back for that experience again.
Good food. Great service tonight and it was 1/2 price apps. Win
Second time going. Food is delicious.
Rush you, too expensive for, the area!
A good pub on the North Side where choices are limited.
The best steak salad I ever had. Please dont ever change it. Our server was awesome.
Good food. Great staff friendly fast service
Better than average pub fare. Solid spot.
Friendly service and consistent quality.
Had the Canadian Burger. It was delicious! The burger was hand-made, not preformed. Very juicy, cooked to perfection. And do try the Curry mayo on the side. Really unique and so yummy!
This visit was the worst. The place was freezing, we asked to NOT be close to a door and she sat us right beside the door. The food was ice cold. We were given an excuse that the kitchen is cold, so thats why your food is cold.
Food was amazing and our server was fantastic!
Great food
Always great service and great food.
This is a terrific hidden gem for those who want great pub food and atmosphere. My buddies and I always stop here while passing through Fredericton. The burgers are great and the prices reasonable. Good selection of beer on tap. Great place.
Lovely food and nice friendly pub atmosphere. Had wings and the dip sampler. Highly recommend the Buffalo chicken dip. Delicious!
Great food, and service is always amazing here. One of our favorite spots!
Ate there it was ok. Tried to get a to go order and the staff kept hanging up on me. Quality ............. as a chef amazing service ha
Great service and great food. The staff is super nice and the food comes out about 20 min after order. I usually get to finish my coffee before the food arrives, even when we were there in a group of 10.
My friends/family and I have been coming to Cannons once a week, sometimes twice a week since 2010. The food is great, your wait staff is great, the atmosphere is great. You even have a dedicated table to a fallen soldier who is a Combat Engineer, which I applaud you for that, makes me think you support the military. I found out recently that youve taken away your military discount. There are many military members that cross your doors weekly..does this establishment no longer support its military? One more thing, since youre saving so much money by not giving out military discounts, maybe you can upgrade your ancient electronic debit machines.
The staff was super friendly and welcoming, loved the service, the food and drinks werent quite to my liking so I think I would pass for next time. I ordered a red rover cider and some kind of fries dish.. But definitely a convenient spot with a decent view of the lake with a patio.
Denied a 6 person table service because I couldn t be my 18 year old brothers guardian. Heard server complain about a late night rush 730pm. Man came out who was very rude, demanding ID from us all. We went to Boston pizza who served us all and made a huge tip for it. Do better
Ordered the half rack of ribs with fries for $25. I got 4 little ribs with a side of plain white overcooked rice ( not what I asked for). Ribs were average at best and the rice was awful. I cant understand how they can justify that price for that food. I was starving when I left. Will not be going back and do not recommend.
Ordered food from here and didnt get the sides I ordered. $60 order got me 2 sandwiches. No explanation was given.
Better prices than most pubs in the city and very good food
Service was a bit slow at first, but once the beer came all ran smoothly. The food was great and we enjoyed the flavours as the rain watered the lawn. Thanks.
Thursday appetizers special makes this a place worth visiting.
Waited over 30 minutes for service after being sat. Food took almost an hour, wasnt even busy. Barely saw our waitress.
Best wings in Fredericton. Wednesday night is wing night, 1/2 off.
Always a great visit.
Excellent food, perfect service,very reasonable prices
The food is not as good as it use to be! I brought most of my combo appetizer platter home. Noticed there was hair baked into my wing. I get this happens but overall was not satisfied! Our waitress had an attitude and when I asked to swap out kettle chips with regular chips she was like absolutely not. Don t plan on going back for awhile.
Great food!!! Not bad servers, poker machines on site. Drinks are cold and the place was warm and inviting. 9 out of 10 would definitely go again and recommend. Great job cannons, James.
One of my favourite places to go to eat. The curry chicken maple salad is my favourite.
The work team gathered Tonight after a hard day at work for appy night. The feature app was a spinach dip cream cheese wonton. Genius and delicious. Put this on your menu!!
AMAZING FOOD AND SERVICE
Im staying up stairs in the hotel and the music is playing top high and there closed like this is crazy
8th Oct at 7:30. I picked up the delicious chicken natcho. As I walked in, 2 waitresses whom suddenly appeared behind the bar from the kitchen made me feel as if I was NOT invited... No nice greeting, no smile. (tho, the waitress who dealt with me was professional but lacked customer service skills ) The other one was stiff..... she just stared at me! This is not the first time! Some waitresses have a military or wrestler type personality behavior. Those ladys should be working at a snow slope chair lift tigny alone and cold. Sorry, but we pay money for a nice experience without the attitude. Alice.
We come here often and are never disappointed. The food is always perfectly delicious and the service well what can I say...EXCELLENT!!! THKU!!!
Love this place for wing night or app night and always ask about their drink specials!
Good food
I liked it it was app night and it was quick and calm spot.
Food used to be better <-- my review from 2 years ago. It may have gotten worse, my wife just had the chicken goat cheese salad and we are certain the chicken was aged longer than the goat cheese. Too bad since its near my home.
Had dinner and drinks there for the first time last week. Our server was friendly, the drinks were good, and the food was great. Highly recommend the barrels!
Awesome except for the table height.
Great food & beer selection.
The BBQ chicken nachos are absolutely delicious! The service is wonderful and the staff are very friendly.
Good food and service!
Great pub and atmosphere. Decent food and prices, a great local drinking hole.
Always delicious! The Pad Thai is amazing!!
Good food
Service was great
Always a great spot to sit by the river outside, grab a few drinks and snacks. Good value and great service.
The spinach dip was yummy, salmon dinner was very good, liver was decent and the veggies were perfect broccoli and carrots were done just shy of being cruncie nothing frozen there...the hothead burger was very good and filling with the ceasar salads...nacho platter wasnt too bad would have been perfect had there been some raw veggies but then the 3 yr old wouldnt have eaten it...portions were good size I had enough leftover for lunch today except I ate all my veggies yesterday they were so good....
Food was wonderful, service was great! Loved the York County cider (strawberry and lime flavour mix) not too sweet, not too dry, goldilocks refreshing! Also the garlic parm wings and caesar salad were bomb! Also seemed fairly priced. Definitely coming back here!
Patio was infested with millions of mosquitoes
Great service. Great food. Great beverages of the adult variety. The best restaurant on the cities Northside and the best pub food in the city.
Havent had a bad experience there yet. The food was always good and the staff was always nice.
Wings and drinks are always good. Try the all dressed Wings. The northside drink is delicious.
Hands down best pub food deals in the city. Wednesday nights cheaper wings and a bunch of apps are 3,4,5, and 6 dollars. 6 dollar thunder mugs of Molson Canadian. Good beer selection, view of the river, chill spot. Much of the pub food is good stuff.
Good service food was good and good price. Definitely going back for their excellent wings.
Great place for a pint on Frederictons north side. BBQ Chicken Nachos are awesome. Highly recommend.
Usually an excellent experience and good food. My two friends and I waited for over a hour to be served on our last visit. Food was good but the service was disappointing.
Love there drinks ! Ask for a devon and a chrispy chrunch shot. All dressed wings were good!
good and quick food
Garlic and honey chicken wing are delicious
the honey bbq wings and the chicken basil sandwich are great choices i order them every time when i go with my family. favourite restaurant
Great food and service was excellent
Nice local pub with friendly, courteous staff and great specials on beer. The food menu is a quite varied pub fare at reasonable prices.
The place is a dive. It was not busy and every table was dirty on a Monday night. We order a hamburger which was so burnt and dry you could not eat it. Definitely one of the places in Fredericton to avoid. We will not be going there again. Does not deserve one star.
One of my favorite places on the Northside is Cannons Cross. Great service, wonderful menu and selection of on-tap local beers, it is a place to go for a good time!
Cannons is a well known and loved spot in Fredericton. This is essentially the North Sides Snooty Fox but either their own spin on some dishes as well as their own classics (looking at you cannon barrels). Cannons is a great place to stop in for pub food for sure
The staff and atmosphere are amazing at Cannons Cross Pub! We had a long road trip, and went to settle into a local pub, and we were not disappointed! It was a warm, friendly, and intimate location, with a very warm and friendly staff. We cant wait to come back and visit!
Nice place
Great service and delicious burgers
This place is amazing! Reminds me of pubs a couple decades ago which I really enjoyed. Food is very well priced and make sure you walk cause there are thundermugs for a great deal!
I d like to see POINT FIVE added to rating options (ie: 3.5, 4.5). I m giving this resto a 4/5 mostly because of the layout inside, and the ambiance. Some restos have much character and this one doesn t seem to have much character. The food is sometimes a 3, sometimes a 4 out of 5, because I ve been there a dozen times or so, but can never seem to find anything that stands out or leaves me wanting to order it a second time. I will say their wings are pretty tasty, but I ve only ever ordered the Salt & Pepper and another dry rub type (think: Jamaican food flavor). I d certainly go to this restaurant before any fast food resto, but it s not the first on my list. They have a beautiful patio, and you can see the SJ river across the street from any seat on the patio.
One of the best pubs in fredericton hands down. Food, service and atmosphere all excellent. Best burgers in town, fresh fries, and cannon barrels and other apps are delicious. Hats off to the chef!!
A hidden gem. Food was great and way better than I had expected.
Lunch special was great. Good service.
Had lunch there wheres my daughter the food was excellent I had one of their burgers with fries and the fries were hot I can eat a burger cold but I cant eat fries cold
Amazing staff
Thursday night is specials on the appies. Craft beer and cider made for a great evening out.
Nice cozy rooms at a great price
One of my favorite restaurants in Fredericton, prices are good. Service is always friendly and the food is fantastic. How they recommend cannons Cross pub.
The decor is nice The service is fast The menu is varied The staff is friendly There is a good atmosphere I recommend
Food was excellent but it was really cold in the restaurant, I had to eat with my coat on, waitress said that they were working on the heat.
Love the fish!
Very pleased,had no reservation on this busy day Nice staff and great food,you will see us more often
Didnt dine in. Got food through Skip the Dishes. Food was quick and delicious! Will definitely eat again!
Always a great spot to eat!
I have the buffalo chicken sandwich and a beer. Place was clean, staff was friendly. And that gigantic place of food was very well made and was delicious. Thank you. I will be back.
Excellent food and service.

Great goat cheese salad and appetizers.
Always great service and food
The wings are good especially on wing night!
Food was very tasty! Friendly staff!
Great service excellent selection to choose from
Cannons is a pretty relaxed atmosphere with good food. I highly recommend the cannon barrels, they are a fantastic starter!
Service & food always good
Nachos are awesome. Lots of their apps are delicious too
Good fish and chips.
Sarah is the best.
The salmon on the lunch menu was very good!
Great menu and fair prices. Friendly staff. Eat in or on patio.
Went here for wing night. Wings and sauces are really really good, but I tried a couple local beers and they had no bubbles at all. Not sure if the domestics would be better. But food was great, and our server was really nice as well. Will try again
Love this place food is good staff is vary friendly beer is delicious...lol go check it out!!
Half price apps was a good bargain. Beer is cold and the servers are always pleasant. Inside is rather dark so go with the patio option
Went here twice so far. Ordered two meal for breakfast! Both were delicious and they served great drinks!!
Did a door dash delivery here but I forgot my name when I got there lolz
Food was very good, Service was alright, environment is nice, the price is too high.
The prices do not reflect the quality of food served.
Great food and service
Sweet potato chips are good. The steak and salmon were a bit old.
25% off on apps on Thursdays. Comfy private booths. Good pub food.
Service was great, but food a real disappointment
Great place. Good food and fast friendly service. I recommend eating here.
Great food hard to find ,but you wont regret looking for it
Been going to this pub for years but the latest experiences have left us disappointed. Great appetizers but main dishes dont meet what it has been served for years.
Disappointed, wouldnt even let my buddy order food since he wasnt 19.
Very good. Ho there Wednesday, its Wings night.
Well worth the drive for their clam chowder!!! It would be even better if they served it in a sourdough bread bowl..(hint hint ) Good service too.
Meh, I mean I ordered everything there could be at this place. I only liked 2 items, the meatloaf (which they dont have anymore) and the kettle chips. Currently having their chicken alfredo and it really does just taste like noodles coated in butter. Not worth $25+ imo, everything tastes like it should be -$15. Save your money.
Overall consistent food. Good customer service.
Proof of Vaccination and ID checks as well as regular covid 19 protocols all in place! Party of 4 & our meals were all good. At one point the music got louder & one staff member noticed it bothered us & asked if the volume was ok & turned it down which was very nice. We didnt have to talk louder over the table just to have a conversation while eating.
Food was very good and the staff was very friendly. Only thing bad was the bench seats. Very uncomfortable
good and friendly restaurant, price-performance ratio is ok. The only thing I dont like is that the seats are way too high in relation to the tables. It is very uncomfortable when you are eating. One of the reasons why I don t like to eat here. a lot of my friends have the same problem .. the tables should be higher
I m done eating here I tried this place three times hoping for a good dinning experience but they re rude and you just do not get what you pay for. 20 dollars for a small nachos that are soggy and cold and look like barely ANYTHING was on them when I paid for vegetables and all nachos are suppose to be basically covered in cheese I don t think there was enough for even like a bite of cheese on a nacho? I showed up 5 minutes early for cold soggy inedible nachos. Waste of money.
Average..Needs to cook wings from scratch not recook soon orders .Beer was cold..But need to pick few things there good at and stick to them ..
Fantastic food and service
Burger was great, and the service was excellent. Definitely will be back.
