So good. Had the seafood dinner 10/10 and the Philly steak sandwich was amazing. Wings were nice and crispy. Every thing was well done here . Will attend again. The waitress was amazing too.

Castle John’s is one of my favorite places in Newmarket. The food is always on point—especially the wings and burgers, which are packed with flavor and come in huge portions. The atmosphere is super chill, perfect for watching a game or catching up with friends. The staff is friendly and the service is quick, even when they’re busy. It’s got that laid-back pub vibe that makes you want to come back again and again. Definitely worth checking out!

Came here multiple times, always decent. Food is good, service is okay, but at times the food makes up for the service. Multiple good things here from the wings, to the pasta, to sandwiches to the apps. Good spot to watch sports as they have a large TV. Usually only go to watch sports or play pool with the pool table they have in the back. Would recommend, and will be back.

Location seems relatively new as the booths, flooring, etc. show little wear. The restaurant is very spacious and caters to the sports bar crowd, with lots of TVs on the walls; many booths have their own TV as well. If you’re into watching a game over dinner or drinks, this place is for you. Also noticed 4 dartboard areas, and a live band was setting up to play later. Large food menu with many of the usual pub classics plus several choices for vegetarians. I had soup & sandwich with an upgrade to French onion soup, and my friend had roasted pepper soup, Greek salad, and bruschetta. The food was great and our service was quick and friendly. I would go back to this place.

Consistently delicious! Love going here for a special treat. Pictured is the Bangers & Mash. Three delicious bangers, loads of perfectly cooked onion, lots of creamy mashed potatoes with sautéed vegetables and flavourful gravy to bring it all together. Yum! Plus the staff are always happy to see you 😁

We celebrated my husband’s 50th birthday party on Saturday at your place. They gave us the back part of the restaurant to ourselves for about 30-ish people that came. There was a band that played through the night, which made it that more special. I want to thank you all for such an amazing time. The food was delicious and was raved about by everyone there. The service was fantastic. They went above and beyond what we thought we would receive. Our servers, Jesse, and Danielle were amazing. They always checked on us and make sure everyone was good. I’d give this place 1000 stars if I could but it’s only five I could give above lol. Thank you for helping us ring in my husband‘s 50th birthday. We had a blast.

Castle John's was a lovely experience. The atmosphere is nice and the food is fantastic! I had the 1lb wing deal and added a small Buffalo Chicken Poutine to my order. My friend ordered the Chicken Parmasean. It was very difficult to choose what to order as there are so many amazing dishes on the menu! Cannot wait to try more! My waitress was very pleasant and attentive. I will definitely be back to Castle John's soon!

My 3rd time there for lunch and each time I had the Liver, Bacon, & Onions. The mashed potatoes & gravy and the fresh vegetables were as exceptional as the Liver. Even the Bacon was fresh fried. The presentation was mouthwatering . The servers are always pleasant and attentive. I sat in the bar area, since I was by myself, so I could enjoy the big screen TV. I am really going to try to order something different next time and will let you know!

This was one of the most amazing eating experience I have had to date. I was amazed to find some distinctive features in the quality of their food here that are simply lost these days and are hard to find at many places, and trust me when I say this because I have been to MANY places as a a big food aficionado . They have an extensive menu for any pub/ restaurant. Expect to find more than hundred dishes with a lot of variety in each category that you expect to find on the menu of this sort of a place. Then comes the portion sizes which are pretty generous for all the things I had there on two occasions. Prices are pretty affordable too. Many items are priced much more reasonably as compared to similar items you would find in a fancy or another upscale restaurant. Then service is overall good and the staff was friendly. Kudos to the great dinning experience offered!

Heard great thing about this place but that wasnt my experience. My date ordered beet salad and i had the Jambalaya. The beet salad lettuce tasted like it wasnt washed and the cheese didnt taste right. The Jambalaya had peppers, onions, celery and rice which was VERY hot and undercooked. Thankfully the chicken was somewhat eatable and the sausages could of been cooked more. The server gave us one napkin between us and then was gone the rest of meal. We could not finish our food, uneatable which was obvious from the full plates. Waitress did not even ask how our meal was and when she offered boxes and we declined, still no concern for our meal. I LOVE pub food but unfortunately because of the food and service i dont think ill be back.

March 22, 2024

Avoid this place. Would give 0 stars if possible. Came out tonight for a birthday dinner with a group of 10. The waitress didn t ring in the last two items of our order to the kitchen because she didn t realize the printer had run out of ink or paper. One person received their meal about 10-15 minutes after the rest. And one other person at our table received their meal after everyone else was finished. This meal was not comped. At the end of the meal the waitress also came and asked if we would like a complimentary Apple blossom for the birthday boy at our table. Which we were extremely disappointed to see on our bill for an $8 charge afterwards. After discussing the disappointment to the acting manager on duty as said himself, he wished we come back to receive the complimentary Apple blossom next time. Poor customer service at this place which is a shame because the food was good. Again, avoid if possible.

Honestly Liz and Nick saved the experience. My Dad wanted to go here for his birthday on Sunday march 10th. My boyfriend and i had had a long weekend of working and as it was just up the street we thought it was a good idea. Sunday night was horrible! We were told it was a little busy and there was gonna be a 10min wait. Which we said was fine as we were gonna be chitchatting. But chatting was very difficult. We basically had to scream at each other to hear ourselves over the band that was playing. We waited 30min for service from I believe Tasra. I was about to suggest leaving as it was unbearably loud and very cold. Our server finally appeared after liz asked if we d been helped. Tasra had no customer service. There were other tables chasing her down for their change or to get the bill. Liz had to be watching her like a hawk. Nick was serving other tables and was being an all star while our server was playing hide and seek with her tables. She had no sense of priorities. She got my dad his water while another table was telling her they wanted their change and were leaving. I assume they had been waiting for their change for quite some time. My dad had ordered the blackened salmon, i ordered the steak frites and my boyfriend ordered the Guinness poutine. The fish that came wasnt very black so my dad was just asking some questions if he got what he ordered cuz hes had blackened fish before. Liz politely explained why it wasnt very black and offered to take it back and cook it more. My dad turned down her offer saying he was just curious because it wasnt what he was picturing in his head but he felt like fish. Liz offered to comp it if it didnt meet his expectations. Luckily my dad really enjoyed his dinner. My boyfriend and I not so much. My boyfriend felt the gravy was way too salty, which was the same for my peppercorn sauce. There wasnt much flavour to it. And i had ordered a medium rare steak that came out close to well done. My steak was very tough but the fries were great. My dad and I have father daughter dinners on Wednesday nights so we thought we would go back and try again with the 30% off appetizers. We were greeted by Nick. When asked where we wanted to sit we wanted to express anywhere but Tasras section. Nick was kind enough to take care of us and the food was amazing! Nick has amazing customer service and had really lovely conversations with us. My dad got the battered mushrooms and the fish tacos and i had the tater kegs. Everything was absolutely delicious! Liz even came to say hi. I think some of your staff is amazing but the others either need more training or to be replaced. Because if there are other servers like Tasra or worse then they are toxic to the environment and will be deterring future customers from your establishment. If it wasnt for Liz and Nick my dad and I wouldnt be back. So please make the changes and adjustments needed accordingly. This is a cute little pub with good food. Cant wait to try the house made chicken souvlaki Liz was raving about. I was debating on a 3 star review for how bad Tasra was. But Nick and Liz bumped it up. Id honestly only give the place a one star review if it was only Tasra and the quality of the food sunday. For Nick and Liz i would give 5 stars. So the total review looses a star for how awful Sunday night was.

Watched Happy Pants play here on St Patty s day (night). They were great, as usual but our waiter/server was phenomenal. Sheldon really knows his way around a bar and his experience shows. Great guy; funny, attentive and genuine. Live music, cold beer and Sheldon - a great night indeed. Castle Johns would be wise to keep Sheldon on their team as he sets the bar for other less-experienced personnel to emulate.

First time my gf and I went there the service and food was on point about a month ago so we decided to try it again today and the service was terrible we got seated and no one came to take a drink order or anything for a good 20 mins, and then after waiting we ordered and our food took awhile to come out and they weren t busy at all.

It s never as good as I think it ll be. Had the Chicken Souvlaki Dinner. The rice was what I can only say was horrid. Wet, funny mess & just peas & carrots in it. Yuck! Chicken Souvlaki was so-so., not particularly tasty. At least the Greek salad was fabulous. I could of just had that & left happy. Probably should of! Our server seemed a bit off & kept making mistakes, maybe his 1st night? 1 person ordered ribs, they came with chicken wings he didn t order. 1 ordered chicken Parmesan, I ve never seen it layered with cheddar cheese before, not a great idea & very over cooked. Waiter brought 4 small plates with 3 forks, 2 knives & 2 serviettes. There were 3 of us & all needed knives & serviettes, & for ribs seriously you need at least 2. Been twice, not really impressed. Would be a good sports bar to be at for game night, but it was a surprise to us when they pushed the volume way up half way through our dinner. If we go back it ll probably be at lunch time & see if that works out better.

Dont go when its a holiday. The server will pass you over for a larger table. Taking half finished drinks when you werent ready. Messing up your order and when you say something about it they tell you just deal with it the kitchen is busy. Pretty sure they gave me fries instead of sweet potato fries and still charged the extra for the sweet potato fries... We went during St Patricks Day. It wasnt a good time... I didnt want to tip but my company felt like we should just do the bare minimum due to society respect. Honestly I dont want to return.

Usually order from Uber eats and the food is pretty good. Decided to go into the restaurant and it was 10pm, online says they are open until 11pm. Honestly wouldn t be as upset if the server Liz was nicer, we walk in and she gives lots of attitude saying we re closed and we asked I thought you close at 11pm since that s what it s say on google and she keeps repeating we re closed, rather then apologizing and saying sorry for the misunderstanding. I get it s late at night but if you work in the customer service industry you should be nice to people coming in asking a simple question. Definitely won t every try coming into this restaurant again especially not with Liz, she needs to get some manners!

Never have I seen it a bar continuously run out of draft beer so often. If it wasnt the popular brands I would understand. They do have 12 jugs of hot sauce though. Wrong priorities.

Decided to go out for Thanksgiving dinner with my daughter. This evening we saw their Thanksgiving menu on their social page. We were there at 5 PM we ordered butternut squash soup to start , which was served not even warm and one other appetizer. When we were about ready to order our Thanksgiving dinner, the server informed us that they were all out of Turkey, all we got was a sorry. Thank you, castle johns for making this thanksgiving dinner a memorable one .... we wont be back

One of the best an absolutely delicious hamburgers. I have eaten in my entire life delicious flavorful, well seasons I forget the name of the hamburger that I got, but it was bacon with jalapeño fries were crispy. Service was good. The gentleman was attentive. The only complaint I have were the seats sitting in the booth I felt I was always sitting at a 90° angle and not a lot of room. Other than that atmosphere was a good and the bar look like a good place to watch a game

I ve eaten here many times and the food and service are always outstanding. Last night we had almost 60 women for a Holiday dinner and the wait staff (Shenna and Dax) outdid themselves!

The meals were hot and delicious - so kudos to the kitchen staff as well for handling that many appetizers and mains in such an efficient manner and still maintaining great quality! Even every steak was cooked to perfection the way each person wanted! Definitely recommend

Last night was our 2nd time getting food from Castle Johns and once again it was excellent.

Excellent food, good size portions. Friendly service, a bit understaffed but forgiveable as Covid restrictions just lifted.

December 22, 2022

We have been loyal customers since they opened but just ordered our usual 3 stir frys and they were terrible so I called the restaurant and spoke to a server and explained that the rice was wet the veggies were not cook. The server said there is nothing she could do and I should contact door dash. I said door dash didnt make the food and again said there was nothing the store will do. I asked for replacement food and she declined. Castle Johns has just lost a loyal regular customer. Not impressed on Rourke Place, Newmarket

Used Skip the dishes for the first time with a pub for the first time. Should have known better. The driver-Amanda- dropped off wrong order-6 Cajun wings. I ordered the Chicken Parm Dinner. Driver said not her issue-so I gave her the wings saying I didnt pay $27 for 6 wings. I then called the Restaurant-they refused to re-make my order so I could go and pick it up even though I already paid for delivery. The girl who answered the phone checked with the manager and they said the issue is with Skip the dishes and I need to request a refund. And it took Skip the Dishes exactly 5 seconds to send me an email to say-no refund-too bad. So much for a dinner tonight!!!! To say I am utterly disappointed would be an understatement. But I have learned my lesson. Ended up ordering from Jack Astors as they have proved themselves worthy of my patronage-and their food is excellent.

I was at Castle John s yesterday for lunch with my family. I asked for the beer battered fish and chips. When it arrived I found that the batter on the fish was so hard I could have driven a 6 inch spike into a 6 X 6 inch of piece of hardwood with it. NOT a good place to eat.

What a great place, my wife and I went to Castle John s July 17th. We tried it because of the reviews on Google and every review was replied to. What a great upgrade from the last place that was there, clean, bright with lots of TV s. A full menu with lots of variety, I had a stir fry with chicken at $16, it was not disappointing, great meal and it came very hot. I would recommend if your looking for a sports bar restaurant. The only item I would recommend from another review is upgrade your beer selection, other than that definitely a place to come.

Came here for the first time with my boyfriend and overall it was a good experience and I would definitely come back. The only 2 suggestions that I have is to ensure that the appetizers are served before the main is served. My chicken wings were nice and saucy when they arrived to me, but unfortunately by the time I started eating them, they were as dry and hard as a rock, because I was eating the appetizer first. Additionally, it would be nice to have the option to turn off the TV at your table because its quite a distraction when youre trying to have a conversation with the people youre with. Otherwise, the poutine and perogies tastes really good.

Food felt like it was made an hour in advance, everything we ordered was soggy and wet. (Bruschetta, poutine, fish tacos, spinach dip) we order from Uber eats at least once a week and this was the worst experience I ve had ever. We literally threw out $60 worth of food. Portions were massive but it didn t matter since none of the food was edible. I have never left a bad review, but I felt like this time it was necessary because we need to make another dinner. All things considered, this was my experience with Uber eats, and dining in may be different.
