I took my spouse here for the 1st time and we loved it!! The waitress was so nice. The food was top quality and came out fast. I had the turkey smash burger with the autumn soup omg to die for. He had the chicken parm and he said it was one the best he's had..coming from an Italian that's a high quality statement.

Overall, the Hardrock42 exceeded expectations. We were staying at the hotel attached and decided to have lunch here. Lots of beer choices and offer flights. The meal was fantastic .

Excellent food with even better customer service, also Sherry P is the bomb and she works so hard to make sure everybody is happy. Such a radiant light. Also? you guys have one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches (thank you Kathy!!)

The scotch bonnet wings were the worst wings I've ever had. Simply tastes like unseasoned, oily, mild wings. No flavor, not much heat, and absolutely no hint of scotch bonnet.

I stopped in here for dinner and a couple beers with a buddy. I was a little surprised that it was inside a hotel, but figured I'd give it a chance. Very glad I did. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries, a craft beer to go with it. The burger was excellent, beefy patty with generous amount of bacon! The fries were fresh and delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. I had two craft beers from local breweries. There was a lot of beers on tap, and a good selection. The ones I ordered were fresh and delicious. The interior was clean and the decor was appropriate for a pub. The service was excellent and everything came quick. I was really happy with my visit. I checked out a couple of the other downtown restaurant/pubs and this is the clear winner! Don't go somewhere else, go here!

Great pub in the base of the Clarion Hotel. Great selection of craft beers I can't find anywhere else and some of the best homestyle pub fare in Sudbury. Fantastic breakfast for under $10

Great wings and burgers. Update switched to their salad bowls this time and got to say it was pretty good tasting. (Buffalo chicken). Wait staff was prompt and friendly. Their beer list is impressive. Only word of warning is that the washrooms are on a different floor.

My kids love this restaurant. We went for supper before a wolves games and the service was excellent. They were accommodating to our schedule as we only had about an hour before the game started. The food was very tasty. I was surprised that the chicken fingers were actual real chicken, not pre packaged which is a bonus for us.

SPOILED COLESLAW served with Fish and Chips. Looked appetizing but smelled and tasted revolting and ruined my appetite to finish the meal. 25% discount off the food if you get served rotten food apparently. The waitress was condescending about the incident and seemed offended that I didn t want a replacement.

SERVICE, SERVICE, SERVICE. There isnt any! Super slow to take and deliver drink orders. Food is equally slow. This is consistent each and every time we go, we put up with it because we like the beer selection. The service is ALWAYS and consistently poor.

Decent food, decent service. No complaints p

December 22, 2023

Saturday Night, 7:30-8pm. We are the only people in the place, the service was polite to greet us and we saw them at our table twice for the 1.5h we were there. No one asked how the food was they came over and even cleared the table never asked us if we wanted the bill or anything. For food we had spinach and artichoke dip and pita chips, my gal had the buffalo wrap and soup while i had the nashville chicken sandwich. I want to say I usually dont care about servers who never show up so ill focus on how bad the food was for 58$. The dip was literally just melted cheeses, no flavor just cheese. I could count the pieces of green in it and there is 0% chance it had artichokes, my chicken sandwich was overcooked as well as well no seasoning at all on either the chicken or the breading used. When you hear people only insult white people cooking this is a restaurant that serves it. Just go to popeyes if you want a chicken sandwich or get any kind of dip at a grocery store. If you want restaurant quality food go its not at this gastro pub, Just go to P&Ms or any chain. They dont put any seasoning on anything and just rely on their sub par aioli. Dont recommend anything, dont waste your time or money going here maybe if youre an IPA beer drinker try it out for their taps but otherwise dont eat here. If it was crazy busy and service asked me about the food at the table i would reconsider but a dead place with no service and they couldnt get 1 dish in the whole place right.

I always assess the greed of a restaurant by the prices of their wings. 16$ for 8 wings. No thank you. Fortunately your inattentive staff did us a favour by not acknowledging us.

December 22, 2020

Horrible service, we sat at the bar took along time to get served, when he did come he was rude, and we asked a few questions about different types of beer he said try it or dont! We had 2 beers stood there waiting 10 minutes to pay our bill while he talked about football with another customer knowing we were waiting...had to ask a waitress to cash us out!! Never again...wont recommended at all either

My mom and I got take-out as we were passing through Sudbury. We ordered online through an app and had no issues upon pick-up. The lady who gave us our order was lovely and seemed confident in what she was doing. Our meals were very filling and tasty, the price was also excellent for what we received. The buffalo chicken wrap was large and had just the right amount of spice, and the portion we received for our spinach dip appetizer was ample. The flavors were not above and beyond but their menu hits all the right spots and boasts a great, casual dining feel. We would definitely order from here again if passing through another time.
