The Stubborn Goat Gastropub in Halifax

The nachos are fantastic here and are enormous for $20! Mac and cheese was really creamy but was not good as I expected, I found the taste to be a bit bland in my opinion Restaurant has a cozy and lively vibe, I love the decorations for the holidays The restaurant has live music every Friday, Saturday and Sunday after 9PM :) So beware, the restaurant turns more into a pub after 9PM and gets very loud and rowdy with lots of loud drunk people around you. Overall, the food was good and the service was kind, restaurant was just a bit too loud for me.

We had a reservation at their sister restaurant and they had to cancel it. They managed to move us to The Stubborn Goat! It did not disappoint, food, service, atmosphere all simply amazing. Not my first time and certainly won t be the last! Parking: We parked in the Convention Center parkade, had to pay but returned to a dry warm car.

Nice pub downtown Halifax. Tasty seafood chowder. Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free Food : 5/5 |

Host a group of 20+ friends. Food was great, service was great, and a fun time was had by all. Our server Jacqueline was fantastic.

I didn t get the waitress s name unfortunately but she was the absolute loveliest server I ve ever had! She was blonde and so cool and kind and she had mentioned her bestie from Ontario surprised her at work so whoever that is, thank you for such a great night!

Love the new location! Super inviting atmosphere, delicious food, and incredible service! Becca was our server last night and we couldn t have been happier!! She was so wonderful and totally made our evening!

I visited this place on a Friday evening and ordered nachos and chicken wings, but unfortunately, both were disappointing. The nachos were overly salty, while the chicken wings were excessively oily and lacked flavor. I wouldn t recommend going here and wasting your money.

Staff was super friendly. Bartender made an amazing tequila drink off the cuff. It was awesome.

Our first time to the stubborn goat, we will be back for sure!!! An awesome meal, service and atmosphere. Its been a while since Ive enjoyed my food so much!! Thank you to the staff

Brunch sandwich is great, truffle fries are meh, service was a little slow today which resulted in cold food, but usually is great, staff is very friendly and helpful and made it right.

The chicken wings and nachos were disgusting

Becca was just wonderful and we were served quickly and the food was good.

This is one of my favorite places for dinner mac and cheese Monday is such a steal!! It s become a tradition for me and my friends! And for several visits we ve gotten the same server, Brianna, and she s the BEST!! She wrote the cutest message on our receipt wishing us a happy date night. This place is so cozy and cute, the food is great, and the service is fantastic!!! Definitely worth a visit :)

I recently organized an event at the Stubborn Goat for the Atlantic Technology Summit. Lydia, the Event Coordinator, was incredibly responsive and provided a fair quote. My guests thoroughly enjoyed the drinks and cocktails during the event. I ll definitely reach out to this venue again in the future!

We were a large group including a few littles. The staff couldn t have been more flexible and helpful. All so sweet. Of course the food was amazing. Delicious pizza. The French onion Mac and cheese was outstanding. We love this place.

I flew in from Michigan and Stubborn Goat was easily the best food I had in town. Becca was an outstanding server. I highly recommend going

Great drinks and good food - our server Emma was super attentive and made great recommendations!

Finally I found the bestttt place ever to date, it just made our day so special with unplanned date and really want to appreciate Becca, shes sooo superb we really loved her

Restaurant with singer-songwriter atmosphere, beautiful decoration, well located. Friendly and cheerful service. Excellent food! Attention gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan: several choices and clearly identified on the menu! Thanks Stubborn goat! Everything was perfect!

Brianna was a joy to have as a server, the food was fresh and the drinks were delicious. We loved the new location!

Brianna was an awesome server!! Knowledgeable and friendly ! She needs a raise !! Thank you Brianna!!

Legendary group has knocked it out of the park with the renewed Goat. Kiera was the absolute best and made our dinner all the more wonderful. Vegetarian options: A few great options Dietary restrictions: GF and Vegetarian selections

Great pub food and atmosphere. Fiona was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Great substitutions for fries available with sandwiches. Abundance of choices for beer and cocktails. Vegetarian options: The mushroom burger was completely vegan, I believe. There was a delicious beet and grapefruit salad and very tasty brussels sprouts.

We were visiting from out of town and decided to try this place. It did not disappoint! The service was amazing, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was awesome. Next time we are in the area we will definitely go back!

Great location. The mussels were the best we had on Nova Scotia! But, the lobster BLT was very disappointing. The service was ok. The heaters on the patio were helpful.

Pretty good overall service and a good selection of food and drink.

Love Stubborn Goat! The Spicy Goat pizza never disappoints, and the service and atmosphere are always great.

Fantastic! We enjoyed a beautiful girls brunch. The food was delicious- so many options and custom dishes. Fabulous service and super cozy seating. Loved our time, thank you!

Oh, my darling gastronomes, gather round and allow me to regale you with a tale of my recent escapade at the whimsically titled establishment, Stubborn Goat. A name that conjures images of both tenacity and charm, much like the ambiance that envelops you upon entry subtle, yet imbued with a warmth that wraps around you like a cashmere shawl on a crisp autumn evening. Now, let us turn our attention to the pièce de résistance of this experience: the food! I indulged in a fried mushroom burger that transcended the ordinary, a marvel of culinary craftsmanship that tickled my palate with every sumptuous bite. It was as if the forest itself had conspired to create a masterpiece, and I was but a humble admirer. And let us not forget those truffle fries oh, those glorious, golden strands of joy! Each fry was a crisp morsel of decadence, draped in the luxurious essence of truffle, a true celebration of flavor that danced upon my taste buds like an exuberant soirée. But, my dear friends, what truly elevated this experience to the pantheon of the extraordinary was the service, graciously delivered by the effervescent Jacqueline. A veritable enchantress of hospitality, she attended to our every desire with the finesse of a seasoned curator. When we revealed it was a friend s birthday, she worked her magic and unearthed a delightful cake that was the cherry on top of an already splendid soirée. Jacqueline, you are a beacon of brilliance, and your commitment to making our celebration unforgettable was nothing short of spectacular! In summation, if you find yourself in pursuit of an eclectic dining experience that tantalizes the senses and warms the soul, look no further than the Stubborn Goat. I shall undoubtedly return, perhaps adorned in something fabulous and with a grand appetite for more of those splendid truffle fries! Bravo, and may your culinary adventures be ever delightful!

It was awesome. Great atmosphere. Our server was very attentive. The food was top notch.

Went to the Stubborn Goat with my Mom for Mac and cheese monday and our server Brianna was the best, she made it an excellent dining experience. She has such a nice welcoming presence and we tried two of her recommendations which were phenomenal! Lots of local draft and non-alcoholic options as well-which is appreciated.

Jacqueline our server was excellent. Great employee who represents your establishment extremely well

Jacquline was an amazing server! She was friendly and attentive - we had a great evening!

I had fish and chips. The portion was massive and tasted really good. Hats off to the barman. Full of chat and up for a laugh.

Thanks to Becca for a great experience!

Gill was amazing! Food was delicious, Ceasar Salad with chicken...the fried capers were to die for! Buffalo chicken, good spicy-Ness fresh veggies

Had the best experience at the stubborn goat. Dropped in for an appetizer and drink in the afternoon. Brianna our server was phenomenal, she was kind, efficient and gave us great info about Halifax. Definitely recommend

We got exactly what we came for and got solid burgers and fries! Quick and nice service :) good for a quick bite downtown !

Best service. We had such a nice server (Becca). She was amazing, very kind and personable. We were able to make a great conversation with her while still getting great service. Would recommend.

Great fish and chips. Thanks !

We were visiting from Alberta and had great food and service. Our server Tess was awesome, it was a great experience, highly recommend

Excellent service . Good food and drink selection. Nice comfortable outdoor space.

Kevin and his staff are excellent. Busy place that Tuesday night but the service did not disappoint. We had the Fried Chicken Sandwich which was wonderful and the Cobb Salad which was delicious. Highly recommend this place for a great meal, drinks and atmosphere.

Great spot! The staff is welcoming, and the decor is unique.

We loved the old location and were so glad when they opened back up. The food is still great and very reasonably priced considering the good quality and generous portions. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, and the staff are helpful and friendly. We had Becca when we went last, and she was very sweet and accommodating with our young son :) We will definitely be going back soon! Vegetarian options: Veggie sandwich, pizzas and starters, plus salads Kid-friendliness: Kids menu and coloring

Nice place. I had the lobster Mac and it was really good. A nice amount of lobster on top. Service was friendly and attentive.

We enjoy sitting at the bar when were at the Stubborn Goat. Maggie and Matt are always so attentive to us. They have a good selection of craft beer. Weve only ever had nacho there because usually we are downtown mid afternoon. The nachos were excellent. All the staff there are great. I have to give a special shout out to Joe(the first bartender we met and the reason we went back a second time) Now were just regulars...well sort of.

Bad customer service . One racist women at the counter treated very badly telling us to go to the next store.

The best food and drink on our tour. Becca was the greatest server of all. fantastic! Highly recommended!!

Excellent friendly service and delicious food. We had the lobster BLT and the seafood chowder. I think it s the best seafood chowder I ve ever had!

I had not been to the Stubborn Goat since before the fire at the old location - so first time at the Argyle Street spot. The service was great, my buddy and I had the Cobb Salad (I am not a big salad eater) and it was great. We sat outside but still under the roof. All Good.

I loved my meal so much and had the nicest waitress Claudia!!

Good ceasers & food

Very nice place for beer and food. If you want to get a good recommendation for beer, ask for Brianna!

Laura was a fantastic server and the food was so good. Had the Lobster BLT and the mushroom burger and the meatloaf

Just in town for the night, first time here. Had the Fried Chicken Sandwich. It was good, and I would order again, but the truffle fries are amazing! Get them! Brianna provided great service, and it s a great location right on Argyle.

What a great place! Our waitress Becca was fabulous and made us feel like regulars on our first visit. We will definitely be back for great food and and the great atmosphere

Had the most amazing night with some friends! Becca was the nicest and considering person, she took her time and was lovely and willing to explain and answer our questions throughout the night. highly recommend stopping by for a cider or beer!

The service was great, especially the service of Becca!

The corn appetizer was amazing!

Fiona is an excellent server, the food was great. This was my first time at the Stubborn Goat and a very positive experience!

Good food and service

Becca was our server and she was amazing! Very attentive and funny, we will definitely be back.

Walked in for dinner after reading outdoor menu, were seated immediately, and what a lovely unplanned evening. Food was delicious, best Cab Sav tge whole vaca, fabulous waitress, and got to watch key USOpen matches on the screen by our table. Oh and best seafood chowder in NS!

Our server Jacqueline was amazing! She made sure we had everything we needed, made recommendations and overall did a great job. Mushroom burger was good.

While visiting Halifax we stumbled upon the Stubborn Goat. A bit away from the hustle and busyness of the boardwalk, it was great. The smash burger was the best burger I ve ever had according to my husband and the lobster mac & cheese was sooooooo good. We sat on the patio and Brianna served us. She was personable, fun and knows her product. I left with crew neck merch because I loved this place. Thanks for an awesome lunch and awesome experience.

A lovely atmosphere for our private event! A special thanks to Jacqueline for the attentive service.

Fiona was awesome!!

This is one of my favourite places in Halifax. Great food and drinks, live music, great ambience.

Our server, Becca, made the night. Stopped over from Ontario and gave fantastic service and great recommendations. 10/10 would go again.

Service was good but unfortunately the OG Mac and Cheese fell short for me on this visit. It lacked in flavor and even though it was served in a cast iron dish it was cold and the cheese on top was not melted. I was there with my husband and 3 year old son who were both enjoying their burgers so I did not send mine back and only ate a few bites. They found their food to be really good. Kid-friendliness: They have a cute kids menu colouring page and provide crayons for your little one.

Becca was exceptional! Highly recommend.

Great place! Delicious food, beer and great service!!!

Jaqueline was very attentive and friendly. Wonderful service !!!! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options Food : 5/5 |

We hosted a brunch at The Stubborn Goat for our wedding guests the morning after our wedding and it was a highlight for everyone! The food was excellent, the service was incredible, and locals and out of towners alike enjoyed the great atmosphere. Kevin was our contact for renting the restaurant and ordering everyone s food. His communication was excellent and he went above and beyond to ensure that everyone s dietary restrictions were addressed. Our server Jacqueline was so wonderful and made sure everyone was looked after (especially the bride and groom ) Overall I would absolutely recommend The Stubborn Goat for any private events, or a meal downtown with friends. Dietary restrictions: They had great options for Celiac folks!

Had a wonderful time at the pub, was served by Brianna, amazing girl, definitely knows her stuff, we saw her being on top of her game the whole night. Great atmosphere, great drinks, will definitely return again! Food

Best place to eat in Halifax!!!. The Mac n cheese was amazing!!! Definitely worth it.

This restaurant was phenomenal in accommodating my large group of about 30 people! Brie, our server, was exceptional and made my birthday dinner run smoothly!

Great place to sit and have lunch. Becca was fantastic!

Really dark in the back corner; we had to use our phone flashlight apps to read the menu.

Fiona was fantastic! Great service and awesome sense of humour!

Beca was the best

Becca was amazing! Great service, great smile! Thanks for the LOLs

Had so much fun here, Becca was a blast!! Great service and a great time!!! Totally recommend!

Becca was awesome! Made our visit a great one.

Neat little pub

Great service and food. My wife and I split the mushroom burger and it was fantastic. Our server was very attentive, welcoming and prompt. Highly recommend!!!

Thanks for the excellent service Jacqueline! The best place for a bachelorette Dietary restrictions: Awesome gf options! Food : 5/5 |

Loved the food. Delicious mac and cheese. Dont forget the pickled ceaser - one of the best Ive had. Thanks Jacqueline for your friendly service! Dietary restrictions: Very celiac friendly

Jacqueline was so friendly, helpful and pleasant

Jacqueline was amazing as our server, and the food was incredible!! Great place for our anniversary dinner everyone was so hospitable, was very accommodating with switching our lunch reservation to a dinner last minute, so thank you again!!

Wonderful pub. Great selection of local craft beers. Would highly recommend a try. Wings were amazing and so were the muscles.

Booked in last minute for a work event when our other venue fell through. Could not have asked for better service from the initial call with Kevin to our amazing server Jacqueline they knocked it out of the park! Thanks to the team for making sure we had a great time.

The food, the ambiance and the service was amazing. Matt and Joe were the best and were so kind and personable, making the experience even better. I m from out of town and look forward to coming back next time I m in Halifax.

The food is good but not amazing. Me and a friend had the Buffalo chicken burger, and his was quite dry, though mine was fine. The flavor of the food is about average for a pub in halifax, but the drinks are where this place really shines! Their rotating drink menu had some amazing choices.

Jacquline took such lovely care of my family and I! You go Jacquline!

JACQUELINE WAS SO NICE!!!

We are from Ontario and arrived in NS about a weeks ago. Everyone has been fantastic here. I had to drop off my family and find a parking spot. When I arrived Tess grabbed me and mentioned that my fam wasn t sure about sitting outside, she made a suggestion and I was able to pull it off with great success that started the night fantastically. From there Emily and Ella were nothing but perfection. 4 different meals and 4 perfect meals. Thanks to all for the great service and wondeful food. Colin and Family from Ontario

Jacqueline was great! Thank you for your help navigating the gluten free menu! Our meal was amazing!

Awesome place!!!

Great food and Madison was an exceptionally fine server. Very knowledgeable about the different beers, has a great sense of humor, and is just so personable. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

Great place to eat. Fish and chip s were great and the fish was good. Caprese Chicken sandwich was ok. Chicken looked and tasted like it was microwaved. Service was very good.

Found it rather noisy for the amount of people in the restaurant. Although the servicers were lovely, it took awhile for drinks and food to come. The appetizers and mains ended up coming at the same time. Felt there wasnt enough staff for a Friday evening.

I experienced an off day for the team in March and the food wasnt its best.....I was invited back by Kevin the manager to enjoy their food and hospitality again.... everyone was on their A game this visit in August. Very busy evening and we never waited or wanted for anything. Wonderful service....thanks Brianna.....great food, atmosphere and location!

Our server Jacqueline was very nice and helpful and kind! Nice spot on the strip, I would recommend!

Caesar was excellent! Server Brianna had a great personality, chatty, and knowledgable. Thanks!

Service with very good. Knowledge of drinks was better then average and provided samples. Food was tasty. Great location. Food

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available Food

Delightful place. Good food. Outstanding service from Brianna whose smile and engaging conversation enhanced the experience. Lon & Carol

Fantastic waitress Brianne who was absolutely a delight. As tourists, she gave us great ideas for the trip. The fish and chips were second to none. Very good smoked meat sandwich. Would definitely recommend.

We stopped here for HH and had the best waitress we have had in a while. Becca was a complete delight! Sparkly, kind, great conversation which is so rare these days in young staff. This girl is a keeper! Someone give that girl a raise!!!

Our Server was Becca. She was absolutely charming! Intended to stop for a quick beverage, but her engaging personality was such that we remained much longer. What a gem! So glad we stayed awhile. Thank you, Becca!

Becca was a 20 out of 10 she lifted my spirits when I was down, and was a over all good vibe. I would come here 100 time over just for her wonderful costumer service.

Great place in the downtown area of Halifax, the staff were nice including Becca one of the nicest servers you could ever have helpful,friendly and gave us great service overall also the food was great cooked fresh and tasted great. Will return here in the future.

The vibe was amazing! Service was so great, all the staff were very friendly. Becca was especially helpful, explaining the menu, all the specials and the local beers so we could find something we liked! Food Is delicious and plenty of options for draft beer, which we really enjoy. We had such a great time. Can t wait to go back! Thank you Becca and everyone!!

Jacqueline was our server on our previous visit and I think it s safe to say she has mastered all things service! Immediately greeted with such a great, positive vibe that carried with her throughout our visit. With a full house she was still attentive and right on top of our drinks, making sure to check in and assure we felt we had the time and space to linger without feeling forgotten about. Amazing food, with even better service. Cannot wait to return!

Wonderful customer service from Aiden and Meggie! Absolutely delicious chicken wings (super crispy) and great beer. Would definitely recommend.

Jacqueline was great! Dietary restrictions: Celiac safe Food : 5/5 |

Great spot for gluten friendly eats, our service from Jacqueline was top notch!

Jacqueline made our night and the food was great 10/10

Great live music venue and service from Jacqueline.

Great service from Jacqueline and good drink recommendations!

One of the best places for an overall great experience. Jacqueline was our server and she found the sweet spot of service. Not too much attention, but was around and available for whatever we needed.

Jacqueline was great and very nice. Food was also very good

Great meal; Jacqueline was awesome!

Exceptional. The best muscles we ve had. Service was excellent.

Our server Jacqueline was wonderfully attentive and provided very honest opinions about the different dishes on the menu. She made sure out food came out swiftly and as we ordered it. My partner and I are visiting from Ontario and decided to visit The Stubborn Goat from recommendations we received from friends who visited Halifax and this restaurant was so tasty we had to visit twice! The fish and chips are hands down the best in the area and very reasonablely priced at $20. The pizza was also excellent, specifically the mushroom pizza, which included locally foraged mushrooms on freshly made dough - I highly recommend it, its not like any other pizza Ive had before! We also tried the lobster BLT which was more expensive but included a healthy portion of fresh lobster on fresh toasted sourdough and a generous portion of french fries. Ultimately, the price point of this restaurant can be what you want, the first night we visited, both myself and my boyfriend received excellent food for just over $20. Dont sleep on this cute pub, we are looking forward to coming back soon!

This was our first time visiting and we will definitely be back. Great food and great service. The Mac and Cheese was a hit with our young nephews!

Great place for good pub food.

Nice little place great pizza

Jacqueline made our experience so great! As a gluten free customer I felt very taken care of, with multiple options and a knowledgeable staff. Also very friendly and attentive! Dietary restrictions: Gluten

Fiona was super lovely and vibrant and excellent thanks again!!

Jacqueline is the best!

Was going to another place for wing night and stumbled across here. Fiona was a great server and gave great ideas. Not much selection for wing styles but the buffalo and Guinness BBQ were amazing (great choices by Fiona). Energy was high and nice.

Placed instantly but 15 minutes and no one even came bring a glass of water or take the order. Left... Will not come back

Highly recommend the Elote Mac and Cheese

Good food. Very minimal, slow service.

Delicious food and the service was very good. Great atmosphere.

We stopped in for a bite to eat on a Monday night. The food was good and the service was excellent (thx Brianna!)

First time at the new location. Truffle fries are still excellent..

Eggs Benedict was unbelievable. Lobster BLT was mostly okay, dry and too fishy. Amazing service and wonderful beer selection.

Good selection of taps

Jacqueline was a great server, very attentive and made great beer recommendations.

Loved our night at this restaurant! We all loved our food and had the best waitress who took great care in making sure we were going to have a great time in Halifax! Shout out to Brianna! And the corn ribs! LOVED!! Food

Dietary restrictions: Jacqueline was amazing!! And loved her make-up!! ;) Food

Thanks to Jacqueline for great service!

Great vibe, comfortable and friendly Jacqueline great help in cocktail recommendations!

Had a great time at the Stubborn Goat tonight! Our server Jacqueline was bang on with her recommendations. Will return!

Great food and amazing service by our server, Jacqueline.

Jacqueline was 12/10 vibe. Love her

Jacqueline was amazing!! Love this place

First time here - great spot and our server Jacqueline was fabulous

The best food and the best place!!! Tess helped us out and it was amazing service!

Jaqueline was wonderful and our food was so good!

The food was great and Jacqueline was fantastic!

Jacqueline was a fantastic server, great attitude and very friendly and great service.

Great food and drinks, atmosphere was awesome, and our server Jacqueline made it even better!

We had fabulous service from Jacqueline! Would definitely recommend the stubborn goat.

We stopped in once we got settled and couldnt have picked a better first stop. Great atmosphere and service. Great selection of beer and food. Would definitely recommend going here if in the area.

Jacqueline took great care of us- great recommendations for tasty drinks and super personable! Great spot w live music!

Jacqueline was so nice and the service was great! Love the live music on Saturday nights

Me and a group of 4 girls went for a birthday dinner and we had An awesome time! The staff were very timely with everything and very patient with us and our million questions and checked on us often. To top it off my chicken sandwich was amazing! Will def go again! Dietary restrictions: They had something for everyone!

Our stop at Stubborn Goat was slightly disappointing. I ve enjoyed myself at Stubborn Goat several times in the past & consider it to be one of my go-to s . We were craving a little chips and salsa to go with our casual drinks. However, due to the fact one of our guests is unable to eat dairy, we obviously can t order Nachos. I asked the server if it s possible if we can just have an order Nacho Chips & Salsa due to the dairy allergy. She said Absolutely, no problem , great! This is something we ve asked for at several restaurants within Halifax & have had zero issue. It s just Nacho Chips & Salsa, an extremely easy order to make so we never think much of it. Shortly after, she returns and says the chef said we are unable to do Nacho Chips & Salsa . However, we were able to order Nachos without Cheese . This made no sense to our group (or the server), considering it s double the work to make & also we re now paying at least double the price. I left frustrated with the lack of accommodation for something that is extremely simple.

Jacqueline was so sweet and the best super attentive

Jacqueline is the best! great service and very friendly

Food, service and atmosphere were fantastic! Jacqueline our server was the best :)

My mom and I were visiting Halifax and wanted to find a cool pub to dine at. Such a cute spot with great food! Our server Jacqueline was very friendly and provided great service! They have live music and we got to catch that as well which we loved.

All around a decent experience. Our server was lovely. However, we were placed in a little dark corner which I think led to being a bit forgotten . Lighting was scarce - to say the least! It was a little too dark for dining. The food arrived hot and fresh and mainly as ordered - with the exception of a burger that was not as ordered. My son had a pizza, I had the street corn mac n cheese, two people ordered burgers and my husband had fried chicken. The mac n cheese was AMAZING. Fun drawing for the kiddos though!

Had a fabulous dinner this evening with our family at the Stubborn Goat Gastropub. Jacqueline, our waitress, went above and beyond during our experience. The food was fresh and delicious, compliments to the chef(s)! Will definitely be back.

Such a great place to enjoy a beer and meal. Jacqueline you are a treasure. Food

Ordered the Mac and cheese, with jalepeno poppers! Don t!!! Came with 5 thin slices of jalepeno. The cheese was good, had to send it back as it ice cold . The waitress didn t really care, as she was busy. She brought it back, and it was just warm. I let her no that it was a warm dish of glup! I couldn t eat it. Be warned folks ! Will never go back! Nice atmosphere however!

Love the new location. I remember when Q was there and theyve kept that layout which is great. Food was delicious and Emily our server was friendly and attentive.

The food was average, very limited menu. The steak was very tough, pizza ok. The tuna tartar was very good.

I recommend sitting at the bar if you are visiting the area for the first time. Our bartender, Gillom, was extremely knowledgeable about the local brews and liquor. Try the local flight, worth it! We enjoyed the Queso Fundido for a starter. We then split a Smoked Meat Sandwich and Margherita pizza.

We were visiting Halifax for the first time just ordered some mussels and drinks. Amazing ambiance and service!! Our server Olivia was lovely and gave us recommendations for places around the city. Had a wonderful time :)

The food here is absolutely excellent. Despite a small menu, there s something for everyone. I had the Mac and cheese and it was sooooooo delicious. Servers were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu! The music was a TINY bit too loud for me personally. But over all a phenomenal meal. We WILL be back.

Went as part of a work event. The staff was fantastic. The food was awesome. I had their smash burger and loaded fries. It was good. I would 100% go back, downside: they dont have a poutine! :(

Very nice pub with a nautical theme. A good selection of cocktails and beer.

Had an excellent evening the other day at the stubborn goat. The mac and cheese was so good and the atmosphere was great. I was served by a young woman named Olivia and she was so kind and provided the most exceptional service myself and my family has received in a long time. Thank you Olivia for a great night and thank you guys for the food.

What a great place in Halifax !! Awesome service ! A must stop for brunch size plate !!

Stopped by for the first time since the new location opened. Sadly the fire and time closed must have meant they had complete turnover in staff. The menu is smaller and everything was coyingly sweet. Had two different Mac and cheese, the pasta in both was over cooked to the point of being mealy, and both were ridiculously sweet. My daughter had a pizza, the sauce was also very sweet (as in they must add quite a bit of sugar). When a 5 year old says its too sweet, you know its bad. Didnt help that the crust was under cooked and the cheese was not even really cooked out. The stubborn goat used to be known for its wood fired pizza and Mac and cheese, not anymore. We also had wings, which I asked to he with hot sauce. The sauce was sweet, theres no chance that hot sauce was an ingredient. The batter was also oddly soggy. It came with pickled veg, and guess what... they were a sweet pickle. I mean come on. We wont likely be back. Its a travesty compared to what it was, and the reviews are likely inflated because the previous location was so good.

Service was excellent, food was fast and good. Only downside is the place is not very Accessible friendly :( Wheelchair accessibility: 1000% not accessible friendly.

Had a wonderful time here last night while we are in town for the week. Our server Brianna (hopefully i spelled that correctly) was phenomenal, she was jovial from the very start and went above & beyond with service. The goat nachos were good, the truffle fries better, and the mac & cheese best. Great little place! I hope we get a chance to come back before we leave.

A nice pub with a great selection of drinks. This is a great space to sit and enjoy a drink with friends. There is a great atmosphere here.

Food was good. Large portions. Service was great.

Always great food.

Our server Brianna was incredible!

What a great place local beers, amazing food and outstanding service.

Amazing food/menu. Friendly and attentive staff. Fun atmosphere

Was in town for a girls weekend and The Stubborn Goat Gastropub was the perfect fit for our night out. Saturday night the vibe was awesome with a lively crowd and live acoustic music. The food was absolutely amazing. Wish we took pictures of the food. As a person with Celiac it was fantastic to have an amazing supper item (I ordered the Salmon Winter Hodge Podge). Other items ordered at the table were the Buffalo Chicken Mac n Cheese, Pepperoni pizza, Truffle Mac n Cheese and the brussel sprouts were shared for the table. Everyone enjoyed the food. The spicy Margaritas are amazing! We even got the GM to take our picture, fun crowd. Our server Bree was fantastic. Thank you Stubborn Goat. We will be back.

Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner; the food was excellent - took the waitress recommendation of the smash burger and it was delicious. Service was fast and friendly, atmosphere welcoming. Definitely will come back.

Stopped in for a quick bite on a Friday night. Great live atmosphere in the restaurant! There was live music and great food. Our server Bri was amazing and went above and beyond for all our requests! Definitely would recommend!

Went in on Saturday to catch some live music around 9pm. We were let in right away but immediately put on a wait list for a table. We were told there were 3 groups ahead of us. We managed to sit up at the bar for the time being and had a drink while we waited. In the half an hour we sat there, we watched a couple tables open up. We inquired about the first table and we were told it was reserved. No problem. Next table opened up and we didn t even inquire, just figured they would start to sit the wait list. There were also two empty 2 top tables open this entire time. So there were now atleast 4 open tables, none of which were being sat and not all reserved. We kind of sat here completely baffled as to why we were still sitting at the bar, waiting for a table when 5 were open. We looked at one of the servers while she cleaned off what would be the 6, 7 and 8th open tables and out loud she commented about us staring at her to her manager. You work in the service industry, maybe keep those comments to yourself. We finally get moved to a table. The host called us and brought us over. A new server came over to take a drink order & all was well. 25 mins later the bartender comes over and asks us to settle up with him as we moved to a table. This was so odd to me. Why don t you just transfer the bill to the server OR better yet, why didn t your host tell us to settle up at the bar before moving? I ve always had a bill transferred if I ve moved from the bar to a table. Having the bartender come over to us and request us to settle was super distasteful. Oh also these tables that were reserved, didn t get sat until 10:45pm. Tell me why you would hold tables for a reservations for over an hour and 45 mins? Makes 0 sense to me. Music was good. Staff had bad attitudes. I recommend investing in some reserved signs to put on the tables so guests aren t left wondering why they aren t being sat when there are 5+ tables that appear to be open.

My first time at the Stubborn Goat April 30 2024. Great ambience, food was good and service was excellent I especially want to mention that our server Bri, she was a delight. She is extremely personable, friendly and helpful. Thank you Bri for helping to make our evening even better

Food is terrible and they re horribly understaffed and overpriced

Service was great, waitress was very friendly! Food was great and timely.

Spent 39 CAD to get a margarita and a SG burger. The drink was overpriced and the food was average at best. The burger had slices of bacon folded under the top bun and they came right out with each bite and made a mess. The fries weren t fresh and were stuck to each other. The way they served ketchup felt way worse than a fast food burger place. They handed us a French s ketchup bottle after the server asked if we needed some. Have had way better experiences before and for less money than this. Not returning back.

Our waitress Tess was amazing! Very funny and accommodating, made the dinner that much better!

Our waitress (Tess) was fantastic! Witty, sarcastic, brilliant!

Food was terrible. Mac and cheese lacked cheese and smallest pieces of overcooked lobster possible. Pizza was severely undercooked, dough was practically raw. Service was pretty bad. Took 15+ minutes after being seated for anyone to come to our table. Food took long to come and took forever to get the bill.

The smashburger was 10/10. The cocktail I had was a bit small. If I were to go back, I would stick with beer.

We were visiting from out of town and stopped in for a cocktail on the patio at happy hour. Bri gave us such great service and we loved the atmosphere, that we came back that evening for dinner. The fish and chips were crisp and perfectly seasoned, there were lots of local craft beers to choose from, and Bri gave us great recommendations for pairings (yes, her service was excellent, so we requested her section again!). Also, the curated playlist of 60s-current rock was lots of fun. We ll be back again! Kid-friendliness: We brought our 15 year old son and he was welcomed and enjoyed the craft root beer.

My family visited the Stubborn Goat for lunch on May 15th. Although the restaurant wasnt full or extremely busy, it felt understaffed. There was one staff member handling the patio tables, another managing the indoor tables, a bartender, and what appeared to be a supervisor or manager. This was my second visit to the Stubborn Goat. The first time was last December with my colleagues, and we waited over an hour for our party of eight. This time, for a party of three, the wait was also nearly an hour. We were seated in a booth, and I ordered the Chicken Sandwich, which I loved the first time. However, this time, it tasted different and was served differently. We also had truffle fries, but they tasted like regular fries despite the higher price. The mac and cheese tasted like something from a supermarket, such as Superstore or Sobeys, with nothing special about it besides some shredded pulled pork and cheese. The service was mediocre, which was understandable given that our server was alone and wearing a foot cast. A supervisor or manager was also helping to run orders to the tables, which was good. The ambiance was pleasant, but the food quality and long wait times detracted from the experience. I dont think well be returning, as there are other restaurants where we feel we would get better value for our money. I believe management should improve their kitchen service and increase their staff to provide better service. After all, this is a business, and diners need to be happy with their experience. Just my two cents!

Shout out Madison! She was great all night and we had a great night! Cheers!

Excellent service, great food and great atmosphere with a live performance. We had a blast.

I was served by a warm and professional host who made the experience of an average place very nice. Brianna is a great and sociable host. The fish and chips was good and fresh. Thanks. Patio was cold and seats were not comfortable.
