Went here for a work function luncheon. After ordering it was a bit of a long wait for the food. The menu is displayed on a clipboard printed on paper which is all folded. The server was nice and attentive. The place was uncomfortably cold. My feet were freezing possibly because's no double doors into the place. The table I was sitting at was just benches so there was no place to hang my coat. Luckily there was space as someone didn't show up. But had he shown up I'm not sure what we would have done. Prices are a little steep for what you get.

We went for supper with a group a couple of times this month, and both times, it was an excellent experience. There is an extensive beer list and whiskey list as well. There were also some tasty premade cocktails. the menu was quite extensive overall and provided an interesting East Coast spin on a lot of foods. we tried the Boxties, both the seafood and the chicken tikka, and both were very flavorful. Of course, there wasn't that much lobster in the seafood boxtie, but it was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. There were also good reports from the veggie burger and the fish and chips. However, probably the most delicious thing on the menu was the brussel sprouts. this was a little bit spicy and nicely charred and an excellent appetizer you have to try. our server, Alex, made great suggestions and was supportive and friendly throughout. dinner was not cheap, but nothing is cheap these days. Certainly, the experience was worthwhile.

We visited few days ago from our trip and tired to prepare dinner at home. We decided to go out for dinner and surprisingly the pub is open and not busy. We requested to sit outside to avoid noise and crowds and we enjoyed our dinner in the coved patio with mist due to the hot and humid weather that day.

Great spot for brunch! Had never heard of it and in an end of town we don’t frequent but found it on a list of top 5 brunch places in Ottawa so decided to give it a try. Had trad eggs Benny (quality hollandaise, perfect eggs and served on a beer muffin, that was initially an unknown, but was delicious! Baked Brie waffles were a tasty sweet and slightly savoury treat. Service was super friendly and though it’s located in a strip mall, once inside it has an attractive brewery/roadhouse vibe. Highly recommend!

Hunter's Public House is a nice busy place that has great service and is very clean. They have live bands every Friday. We found the food to be very good. The exception is the price of the what you get. We received a poke bowl that was $27. it was very tasty however I could not understand how you can justify the markup of such a simple dish that other places specialize in and make far cheaper. The Hunter Taco's were interesting as well. They come plain and adding a protein costs a minimum of $3.00. This totalled $24.00 for something that would be an appetizer on some restaurant menu's such as BeerTown. As a well rated restaurant, I would possibly skip coming here due to the value you receive. I have done hundreds of reviews and very seldom do I make comments on prices but this one doesn't measure up.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meals at Hunter’s! The best part were the Fish & Chips-they have a very unique batter and were just great. The Brie Burger and Smashed Potato Poutine (with braised beef added) were also very tasty. As an east coaster, the garlic fingers were pretty disappointing though…they’re nothing like the authentic ones :( The atmosphere at Hunter’s is nice and our server was great. Will definitely be back!

Mussels were undercooked , my husbands beef dip was not great. Very busy server was difficult to get his attention

If your someone that makes mistakes I wouldn t recommend coming here! On one occasion 2 weeks ago my spouse spilt a full beer by accident and was still charged because I quote not her fault !!! from the server. I had no problem paying that time and shrugged it off, still left a generous tip.i live in the area and come here on a regular basis!! I was here today for lunch and I was not pleased with the salad, i stated I didn t want it and I also did not eat it. She said no problem and took it away, to my surprise when the bill came I was still charged for the salad, I asked to speak to a manager, the server came back and packed us another salad instead of getting the manager. WE DID NOT WANT another SALAD!!!!! Instead of reimbursing us the first time. This was very frustrating considering we just spent 85$ for soup and salad. If you want to eat dry rabbit lettuce 10/10 recommend. If you have anything to say here the server (Julie) will talk in circles and you ll never get your point across or any solutions. I also called the restaurant after to ACTUALLY speak to a manager which got me nowhere!! she validated that I should have had a conversation about an alternative but basically a spit in my face and that they don t replace beers cause if everyone spilt a beer it cost them money so be aware no mistakes allowed here unless you wanna pay for them! This regular definitely won t be returning.

Came here over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised. I was visiting Ottawa and always like to try local places (that are not chains) when I visit a new town and I found this restaurant. Not only do they have a large selection of craft beer, they also have a large menu. It was hard to choose what to eat because it all looked so good. In my group we all got a different meal and everyone loved what they got. The food was out quick and the portions were large! Our waitress was so nice and helpful with our questions. They were also able to help with our food accommodations (garlic intolerance) which is hard to accommodate at most places. I would definitely go back again if I ever go back to Ottawa.

My mother and I always look forward to seeing Alex when we visit Hunters Public House! His service is top-notch, and his recommendations are always spot on. He s a pleasure to talk to, whether in English or French. The entire staff is fantastic, and the food is consistently delicious. The smashed potatoes are my personal favorite! If there was anything I would say that is not as great, is the acoustics. It tends to get loud in there. But we still love it! Thanks all and Alex!

My husband and I stumbled across this restaurant when we were in the area for a convention and were blown away the moment we walked into the door. The young man that seated us was welcoming and lovely. As we started looking at the menu, I was ecstatic to see so many vegetarian options (healthy ones too!). Our server, Scott, came to our table promptly and was extremely informative when it came to the menu and the current specials. We essentially picked all of his recommendations and were very happy with them. I would simply recommend that the bbq jackfruit tacos be less saucy. As a bonus, live music started as we were eating our dinner :) - the artist was also very good (8pm on a Friday). All in all great experience and we look forward to going back to try other menu options.

Where do I begin? Let s start with our entry into the establishment. Btw I was visiting my Sisters in Ottawa and they brought me here along with their spouses. Alex greeted us and he was so warm and cordial that I felt like I was visiting someone s home for the first time! Of course i engaged him into conversation and he was so accommodating and exuded unparalleled customer service skills! Then we chose the patio where Julie seated us and was our server for the duration! She was incredibly warm and welcoming with a witty sense of humour! I of course, again engaged another server in passing and her name was Kyra, an interesting name with a great meaning. She was just awesome and accommodating, a fabulous young lady! All three showed no jealousy amongst each other but delivered professionalism that is second to none! The cuisine was equalled to the great staff there! The owner of this establishment need to be grateful for the employees that he/or she has! They are the front end of the operation and hopefully are praised for the stellar job they so diligently perform! The courtesy and warmth that was felt is something to be desired by all establishments in the area and anywhere else! Hats off to you Hunters and I will be back no doubt with the troops!!! Footnote I called just now from Whitby , where I reside just to make sure it was the right spot! Of course another great staff member answered, her name was Emma and she was delightful indeed! When I told her the reason for calling she only thanked me profusely! Thanks again ladies and gentleman for making our visit a wonderful time! See you soon!!! God bless you all!!!

The food here is great, better than what you would expect for pub food. Familiar dishes are elevated and more interesting. They also have a great variety of beers, lots of different options to choose from. I had a blueberry one which I enjoyed very much. ****Update**** While I still think the food is better than most pubs, I have not enjoyed my last couple of visits as much. The mushroom soup which previously was the best restaurant mushroom soup I had eaten, is now unrecognizable. It is salty and full of chewy bacon to the point where I thought I was eating smoky bacon soup. Couldnt even tell the mushrooms or ale were there - I actually thought they had brought the wrong soup. Very disappointing, and I dont know why they messed with something so good. The smashed baby potato poutine was also disappointing. No baby potatoes in it - full size potatoes cut in half so while the gravy is good this is not what was described, far less crispy than it should have been because of the big potatoes, and was also disappointing. Not sure whats going on in the kitchen but it has not been as good lately.

Lovely looking new restaurant, and a nice atmosphere. Service was very friendly & our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu. A very extensive menu. My fish was over cooked & not as tasty as I would like. Creme Brulee was tasty. Tons of drink choices. A bit noisy on the patio as many delivery trucks pass by the length of the outdoor patio, honking & spewing exhaust fumes. Seating along this patio perimeter is challenging for short customers, but there are lots of options.

We made a reservation for a retirement party for 40 people three months ago. Tonight was the event. The food and table service was good. However when it was time for our speeches, we asked the server if we could have a mic and for the music to be turned off. She went to ask the manager. Initially the manager refused but then one of the organizers spoke to the manager and she agreed. Our speeches were not long (total length approx 15 minutes) and we tried to gather close together near the stage. When the person that was retiring went to speak, the music was turned on again and it was very difficult to hear. After the speech was over, a member of our group spoke to the manager to express our displeasure with this and she basically said that she didnt care. Many of our guests left unhappy and will probably not return.

I was here with a friend on Friday evening (May 10) for the first time, impromptu. I have never been out in this area before socially. I was pleasantly surprised. What a gorgeous spot. Our server, I am SO embarrassed I forgot his name. He was amazing and very attentive. He recommended the burger that was the star of the night. He checked on us several times to make sure everything was as expected...exceeded expectations for sure. It was a cool afternoon which got colder. We moved to the fire pit. He came over to offer us some blankets..whaaat! yeah this place rocks. I will make the 20 minute drive to visit again. For me its ambience, service and most of all the experience. I had just that and more. Thank you. Hunters, great choice in staff. the young ladies were also very nice and attentive. See you all soon. Cheers ~ Bella

My waitress Julie was so sweet. I love coming back here and they always deliver exceptional service. The host also complimented me and was so kind. I can t believe how wide the range of amazing food is on their menu made with quality ingredients. You can literally take anyone here and they will find a meal they really love. I m gluten free and vegetarian. Got the ratatouille with some modifications which the chef is good about. Stunning patio love the fireplace & when the flowers start growing up the gazebo. Private type room for celebrations I think up to 8 people. Wish they used less potatoes in certain dishes but you won t leave hungry. Vegetarian options: Pescatarian Dietary restrictions: Gluten free Kid-friendliness: Very family oriented and friendly Wheelchair accessibility: Narrow doorway ans narrow walkways to tables a lot of booths and high top tables but I m sure they would find a way to accommodate

We ate at Hunter last Friday. As usual the food is excellent, every one in our party loved it. I ordered ratatouille. Great dissatisfaction, and I was disappointed. I was not served ratatouille . But a kind of baked casserole , which was hot and tasty but nothing like ratatouille. Ratatouille is a dish from Provence. It is a vegetable stew consisting of onions, tomatoes, aubergine, courgette and peppers. Lots of basil and herbs to give it the aroma of Southern France. No leftovers of smashed potatoes which filled up the bowl that I was served. Go to France to taste it but keep on going to Hunter s for poutine and please serve all your smashed potatoes. Don t keep them for ratatouille.

This restaurant is an absolute hidden gem!!! We were hesitant to drive 20 minutes away from downtown for dinner but we are SO happy we did. Our experience start to finish was warm and welcoming. We started for drinks at the bar and the bartender was knowledgeable and helped guide us in selecting a cocktail. The Hunter s Sour was so DELICIOUS that immediately after drinking it I was trying to figure out how to make it at home so I could have it again ASAP. We had the Halloumi Board, Fish and Chips and Bacon Jam Grilled Cheese (the candied jalepeno-bacon jam on this is toooo good) and all were outstanding and exceeded our expectations. I m from the east coast and I can attest that the fish and chips here are the real deal. Definitely worth it. Food is so reasonably priced and delicious, which I feel like is hard to come by these days. However, what truly blew us away and made me decide to write a review was our server Cara. We were both a bit low energy prior to dinner but Cara s warm smile and energy recharged us. Her positive attitude and service was truly genuine. It was evident that she cares deeply about providing a memorable and thoughtful dining experience. Cara has an extremely welcoming presence and went above and beyond to ensure all of our need were met. I went in there thinking I was just going to have a typical quick dinner but Cara turned this into a truly special evening. First time in a while I have left dinner being truly blown away by the service, atmosphere, food and drinks. We cannot wait to come back!

We stopped in for an early dinner on a Saturday with our young kids. The service was fast and attentive and the staff were super nice. The atmosphere is cool and laid back. The vibe is not a chaotic family restaurant yet they were very welcoming to kids, had an excellent kids menu and provided cool toys and colouring. The beer whiskey and cocktail selection is fantastic. The food was delicious and it is not just your typical pub selection. The serving size was extra generous at fair price. This is going to be a go-to place for a night out with the kids or place to escape on a date night!

We have been searching far and wide for a restaurant with a winter-time outdoor patio. Based on so many positive reviews we decided to travel across Ottawa to try out Hunters Public House in early February. Best decision! (Note: Accessing the patio requires a short walk through the restaurant.) We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxed lunch in our pleasantly decorated mostly open air yet gently-heated comfy booth. Kassandra C. was everso welcoming and spoiled us with superb service including bringing us blankets to ensure we were warm enough. Every part of our meal was great: Seafood Chowder, Hunters Cheese Steak Sammy, Veggie Goat Cheese burger with fries, hot chocolates - everything was piping hot and delicious. We will definitely be back!

Will definitely come back:) Vegetarian options: Many vegeterians options, veggie burger, vegeterian appetizers and pasta dishes. Kid-friendliness: They gave crayons and nice coloring papers to our daughter and they also have a little creative toy/sticks which kept her busy and patient!:)

Looking forward to trying out the other dishes from this amazing restaurant.

Its a great place to have a nice meal and a glass of your favourite beverage. The only factor that lost a star is its noisy. Its a very modern building with lots of windows. The windows need translucent shades to absorb sound somewhat but still allow views of the outside

If theres one place that defies the norms of typical dining experiences, its definitely Hunters. The moment you step in, youre not just greeted; youre warmly welcomed into what can only be described as a symphony of flavors orchestrated by the maestro of the moment, Hailey. Let me begin by applauding the stellar performance of the star server, Hailey the comedic genius with a side of sass and a dollop of charm. Her mastery of the menu was only overshadowed by her delightful bossiness. She managed to boss us around in such a comical way that we willingly surrendered to her whimsical dictatorship of food choices. The ambiance? Imagine a fusion of eclectic artwork, mismatched furniture, and a soundtrack that fluctuates between jazz and 80s pop. Its like dining inside a retro kaleidoscope, which only adds to the adventure. As for the menu, its a rollercoaster ride of culinary experimentation. From the Surprise Me dish that arrives hidden under a cloche to the Mystery Dessert where you have to guess the ingredients, every moment is a delightful surprise. Haileys comedic timing deserves an encore. Her witty remarks kept us chuckling throughout the meal. At one point, she even playfully scolded us for not finishing our appetizers fast enough a first for any dining experience! In short, Haileys Hub isnt just a restaurant; its a theater of taste, a comedy show, and a gastronomic journey all rolled into one. If youre ready to have your taste buds tickled and your funny bone thoroughly entertained, this is the place to be. Hailey, take a bow youve turned dining out into an unforgettable comedic escapade. **Rating: 5/5 Stars (for the food, the laughter, and the bossy charm!)** --- I hope that brings a smile to your face!

We had a great experience at Hunters Public House. We went for brunch. We were glad we were able to make a reservation as its a rare opportunity in Ottawa and with a toddler it makes all the difference. The service was fast and very friendly, Connor was a fantastic host. There was live music, we really enjoyed Alex Lopezs set. His repertoire was varied with great classics, he has a beautiful voice, good guitar playing and presentation. We will definitely keep an eye on the schedule for him. Our toddler was mesmerized by him! We had the Special Bennys of the Day (with pulled pork, should be on the regular menu!), the Cluck and Chuck and the Kids One Egger. Everything was delicious and fresh. Very well done! Bravo! Then we had dessert, cheesecake, which was good, but did not live up to the description that it was dense, as it was very creamy, but not as dense as a NY cheesecake would be, for example. The carrot cake was very surprising, very dense and with a strong spice side. The kids donut holes were tasty and crispy, our toddler liked them. Kid-friendliness: We went with our 2 year old. They had a sturdy high chair, a kids menu, crayons and some wax stick toys. They were very welcoming.

Food was good but not worth it to go back. I was unaware they had live music, which I dont enjoy as it was far too loud to enjoy my meal or hear eachother speak. The server literally layed her body on our table to hear us. Layout is poor and clustered and annoying when people are standing around everywhere.
