Went in for a salad and came out to an $80.00 fine. 😒 Will not do any business in downtown Hamilton in the future. That's now the second time I got an $80.00 fine. I figured with an Accessible Parking and it being 9:30pm, Augusta Street would be okay for parking.

We ordered (for takeout) the fish & chips as well as the calamari. The fish was tender, fresh tasting, and flavourful. The chips were tasty too, my husband who isn’t usually a fan of British style chips devoured them. The coleslaw was flavourless, but we could let that go. What we couldn’t let go was the lemon pepper calamari. It was absolutely inedible. I have never had something more disgusting. They must have made a mistake in the kitchen, because it was incredibly sour as well as salty. I was very disappointed to pay almost $19 for something we could not have more than a bite of. As you can see from the photo, it is not a generous portion to begin with. There are only two rings missing from this picture and unlike the photos on their website, in person the calamari looked bright yellow.

Not only did they look down on us ( because we were not their usual upper middle class customers ), we could not order a second drink until I had walked up to the bar where 3 employees stood side by side and the bar tender , yet nether one of them offered their services until I had said "excuse me, may we order another drink?", I've never witnessed such poor customer services! And let's not forget the double shot of crown royal that tasted like water. My best friend who is isolated into a wheelchair and resides in a retirement home does not get to experience top quality food. I drove into Hamilton and together we came to your establishment for dinner, which was absolutely delicious! I assumed the tips are split amongst the staff so I did leave a proper tip for your fine chef. We couldn't get out of there fast enough!!

The Pheasant Plucker proves to be a traditional pub with decent pub fare and selection of beer, but it's likely a place for casual gathering as opposed to a place to celebrate a special occasion. Came here with my partner one Sunday in the late afternoon, which appeared to be a slow period for the restaurant. The decor looked somewhat tired and likely not a huge priority for management. Our server was very friendly and welcoming. She provided a number of recommendations when I asked about the menu, and let me sample some beer before ordering. The pub has Guinness on tap (which is something I think a pub needs to have). We were told that the majority of the menu is made in-house from scratch. I ordered the Phez Burger while my partner had the Sunday special Roast Beef Dinner. The Roast Beef Dinner was decent, but didn't stand out as exceptional. The Phez Burger was more impressive. The beef was cooked well (juicy) and the toppings had a good balance of the flavours. The Burger held together and did not fall apart. The fresh cut fries were quite exceptional and crispy - I ate every single fry. I would go back just for the fries 😂 I think I'd recommend the Pheasant Plucker if you're looking to hang out with friends for beers and decent grub, but it might not be the place you'd go for the ultimate culinary experience.

Our favourite pub in Hamilton! Excellent food and the people that work there are awesome! Burger night on Tuesday, Wing night on Wednesday and $13 lunch meals Monday to Friday! The best service and a perfectly poured Guinness! And the Tennents Lager is ice cold!

Disappointing. Our party of three were in Hamilton to see a show and chose this pub for it's outdoor seating and gluten free menu items. The service was agonizingly slow, and there were only a handful of patrons, most of whom were served several drinks while we waited to order food. We had to go inside the restaurant to find our server to place our food orders. While we waited, we got to inhale secondhand smoke from all the smokers standing on the sidewalk directly beside our table, less than 2 feet away. I ordered fish and chips and could not believe how awful it was..it's a British Pub, right? The fries were overcooked and obviously reheated, the fish was mostly batter, and the bit of fish inside was rubbery and way overcooked. Disgusting coleslaw that was limp and tasteless. And the gluten free salad with chicken... bland and wilted greens with canned mandarin oranges. The only meal of the three that was worth it was the buffalo wrapped chicken and onion rings - wish I'd ordered that! So one star for that, but I definitely would not recommend this place.

This place is a great a find! Food is great, we ordered nacho’s and the chicken wings, service was okay, they were very friendly and comes checks up on you but they forgot to bring our fries and the drink we ordered which is why we just didnt bother asking for them again as we asked twice but overall really great place!

This pub has a cozy atmosphere because it's set in a house, staff is very nice, food is fresh, delicious and served hot. It has a bar counter for drinks and tv to watch sports. There are many benches for comfortable seats. However, because it's in downtown Hamilton, that means paid parking happen most of the time, so I recommend to go on Sunday for free parking or to go without driving.

Horrible wings tonight Jan 17th. $27 for two pounds of crappy over cooked wings..... had a wing craving and ended up eating them all..... bad decision..... but i dont complain much. Asked to have some fries to fill the hunger void because two pounds were probably a lot less and they refused! Owners should monitor their business better. A small order of fries costs pennies..... but this review is priceless. Bad business!!!!! I went back 2-3 times since my first review above. The wing were amazing...fresh, big and filling. When I went last night the wings were tiny. I mentioned it to the waiter and it seemed like he didnt care. Why serve diffrent size food at diffrent times.... why count the wings you serve? Look at what youre serving.... does it seem fair? $17 plus for a small order... not to mention the extra sauce charge $1.75 for blue cheese? Come on! As a few wings for customers satisfaction.

I have been frequenting the PP since I moved to Hamilton and its usually a safe spot to take my dad who has mobility issues and is a hella fussy eater. The menu is solid and on those rare occasions when something isnt right the staff fix it or take it away immediately. It just seems to be in one visit in three there is an issue. Otherwise I cant say enough good about the place.

When I usually go to the Pheasant Plucker is 2 Days a week , from approx. 3:15pm till 5:30 pm . Its generally not too busy during these times , but does get busier nearer 5:00pm and on. Evenings and weekends it is generally busier. The staff is always friendly , the food is very good , and the pricing is in keeping or maybe a little lower than other establishments that are similar. They have daily specials throughout the week , Wed being their 2 for 1 Wing Night.Fri Fish and chips .etc. They have an upstairs large room available for rent , for parties, wedding receptions , sports leagues ex. Darts . With a large TV aswell. All in all I find this Restaurant/Pub to be very good and close to others aswell.

We ordered the fish and chips and an Angus burger. Both were delicious, fish and chips were a large sized portion (they did forget the tarter sauce) The burger was cooked perfectly, juicy and not over cooked, I added feta and bacon, fries travelled well for delivery!. I will add that they also forgot my gravy but the food is good enough that I dont care all that much.

I had asked for a Greek salad without Romaine lettuce. They had said they cant do that and it would cost me $15 just for the toppings. A true Greek salad consist of; Cucumber Tomato bell pepper red onion and Kalmata olives and Feta cheese. Why would I be charged more for a salad minus lettuce. That doesnt belong? The server could not offer me another option. She had to go to the kitchen to ask. In my professional and humble opinion, the kitchen was to (lazy) to make me a simple salad. Went across tothe B side. Found out it was the same owners, so we stayed for a beer and moved on. During this transition from The pheasant plucker to B side . Had a employee of the pheasant plucker argue with me in the street about my decision to not custom her establishment. I am a chef of 25 years. If the kitchen could have accommodated one customer. For a correct salad. The Pheasant plucker would of had a $300 influx to their coffers. The email in the answer does not exist.

Nachos were cold, with cold melted cheese on them, the Chili on top tasted like canned chili. But the nachos DID come with a lot of meat, which tasted good but it didnt taste right with the nachos.

December 22, 2022

DO NOT ORDER DELIVERY. They dont know how to pack food properly for delivery. They seal the fresh cut fries, so they arrive completely soggy. Not sure how they havent figured this one out yet. DO NOT ORDER THE $28 NACHOS. They send all the meat and beans toppings on the side and you have to assemble it yourself. The issue is, they already baked the chips with shredded cheese so you cant layer the meat and beans in properly. Also all the side dips (guac, queso, salsa and sour cream) were TINY: they come in those little black dip containers that hold like 2-3 tablespoons. So after YOU construct your $28 nachos, its all just dry meat and chili on the top. Huge rip off. The chicken tinga did taste really good though. Other issues: - The croutons in the Caesar salad I got were off. Portion was not worth the price.

This has been a great spot for a number of years. Its cozy nature and lack of TVs actually make it a great place to talk around the bar and enjoy with new friends and old no matter where you sit. The food is exactly what it says, and more times then not, larger portions then you expect. While people will always find faults, the friendly staff is not a reason on that list.... If it wasnt for the service and consistent quality of product, I wouldve found another bar a long time ago. Cheers to the always happy bartender Aoife, who can turn any day right around! Looking forward to the next visit!

I wish I could give a 6 star review. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was relaxed, the playlist was brilliantly curated (you had me at Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls) and the service was even better. You can t get a roast beef dinner with nearly perfect Yorkshire pudding for under $20 literally anywhere. The Buffalo chicken wrap and sweet potato fries met all my expectations. Thanks for a great meal and great service Josh. We will be back for that deep fried Mars Bar!

Our house burned down last week and Josh ran in barefoot to save me and my husband. He then helped deliver my daughter in the back of his car. We hope our baby girl will be able to live up to the legacy of the man she is named after. Joshs customer service skills is on par to his life saving skills.

December 22, 2022

Stopped in Sunday night with a group of pals, the server was adamant that we all left a yelp review. I ve been in the industry for over 20 years, and this is the first time I ve been asked to leave a review. I m embarrassed for the staff, these reviews should come naturally good or bad. Not sure what s going on here ?

I think the Pheasant Plucker is awesome, I have only been going there about a year on a regular basis and as a woman I feel safe going into the pub! Josh is OUTSTANDING, always makes the Patriots feel welcome and very attentive! There is a senior citizen that goes onto the Phez and Josh takes the time to sit down and speak with her and when she leaves Josh walks her home! Top Freaking Notch

Great place, great service, great friends. As someone who regularly consumes beer, pheasant plucker is the place to be. Rachel, is hands down the best server I ve ever had. I first met Rachel this year when I began visiting pheasant plucker, and we soon became close friends. Rachel goes above and beyond what a server should do, she even hangs out with me outside of the bar. At the end of the day, Rachel would put her life on the line for me, and I d do the same for her. In addition to it all, Dave (angry) is SUCH a kind, gentle, soul. I enjoy nothing more than drinking with Dave. I even met a man to take to weddings, Ryan jones, a heartthrob. All in all, a lovely bar.

This place used to be great so it s disappointing that the last few times we ve gone it has not been up to par. We usually get the same meals - fish and chicken fingers. The last two times the fries have been cold, there s been just a teaspoon of coleslaw and the chicken fingers are burnt (and therefore super dry). Service has gone downhill as well and I don t think it s the servers fault. On a Saturday night there were 2 servers for the crowded place. I don t think we ll be coming back anytime soon.

They have a brunch menu now with unlimited mimosas for 90 minutes! Available Saturdays and Sundays and Holidays from 11 am to 3pm. Reservations are recommended as it was busy enough they hadnt even put on their open sign! This is one of my favourite places in all of Hamilton. I have had so many good times with friends here!! Im only giving them 4* because the Brie is no longer on the menu. Hoping one day soon it comes back!!

Best Pint of Guinness in the GTA from my experience. Always the right temperature and the head is thick with no bubbles in it. Josh and the blonde haired bartender (Ashley maybe) pour the best ones. Others could use some training. Food is pretty good, chicken sandwich and Fish/Chips are probably the best options. Staff is nice and not too pushy. Good spot for a couple pints to kick the night off.
