All I can say is Rob saved the day! If every business had a guy like this non would go under! This guy genuinely cares about his customers! He is a wonderful person to represent this company, he is very knowledgeable about the history of the business and all of its possible facts. He puts 100% into making sure you have a good time while you're having an experience at cecils. His attitude towards any problems that may arise make you feel like you're genuinely being taken care of and not an annoyance to his evening. He is genuinely an asset to this business and I wish him all the best in anything he does in his life!!! Keep being amazing and making people want to come back for a memorable experience at this restaurant! Wishing you all the best Rob! Thanks again!

So the Asian Cashew Chicken Stir fry came with chopsticks and chicken that needed to be cut... There's no flavour to the Stir fry just s tangy vinegar. Service was great but the food could use some work. The pizza is from there ghost many kitchen (Nonas Kitchen) which if you look at my review of there pizza you'll understand why I won't be going back to Cecil's. I only gave 2 stars due to service.

First time here and were treated very well. Very rarely do you get someone to make a good martini. Mine was exceptional. Certainly knew how to make the combo work. Server was attentive. Will try this place again and hope it remains as pleasant as our last one.

Ordered 3 pounds of wings. Recieved 22 dried out turds. Came to $67. Called to complain as there must be some mistake. Was put on hold for 15 mins till I hund up and called back. Apparently 22 dried out tiny wings is 3 pounds at Cecils.

Always order skip from here. Everything is always so good. Just ordered the pub platter with wings. They were forgotten during delivery as they were busy (spoke with the restaurant) and they sent the wings shortly after the first delivery arrived. My favourite place to order!! All their entrees are hot and delicious their potato crusted pickerel is the best on the menu. Never disappointed

The prime rib was excellent. Don’t need to pay extra for condiments. The servers and workers are super friendly. The desert is not really my favourite. It’s something that they could work on. Thanks for a great night people keep up the good work.

Went for lunch and it was really a great place to eat. The building is rustic with brewing equipment visible. We sat on the outside patio. Lots of wasps but it is Aug. My flight and beer was super cold. Found the beer selection limited and light for my taste. The burgers were well presented and fresh. The veggie burger was extremely well built. Great work! Nice place just to chillax Will be back.

Have been back a few times now. Always get excellent service and very tasty and filling meals! Every dessert tried so far is absolutely delicious! You can't go wrong by choosing Cecil's! Bonus for Pokemon Go players there are a number of stops you can spin within reach of any table. As well there are gyms within remote pass reach.

Gross - prime rib is not triple AAA - bland and flavourless. Stop smothering the plate with bland gravy - and stop calling it au jus - it s NOT and should always be on the side. Sides are the same - it s worse than some diners on the highway. They are not even FULLY brewing - only two in-house brews available the night we dined - WTH? Update your website- very misleading. Rushed to order - relax - let your diners have an experience. Dim the lighting, turn up the music a bit and relax. And become a better restaurant. Won t be back.

Had the most delightful lunch at Cecil s, on the back patio with my husband and dog. Had the Cobb salad with herbal vinaigrette, cauliflower bites, a delightful Creemore premium lager and one each of the white and red sangrias. The food was excellent as were the drinks. What made our visit special was the wonderful Nigel, one of the best hosts we have ever come across. Great sense of humour, made fast friends with our pup Neena (also bestowed on her a new nickname Neener), brought her a cold drink of water along with us and indulged our chitchat with kindness and interest. 100/10 for him and the restaurant. We d visit over and over again if we could.

Brewery that do not have their own beer. My son had overcooked chicken fingers. Classic burgers have no cheese. Onion soup way too salty and very small amount of cheese. It was not a great experience.

August 22, 2024

Literally the worst restaurant experience I have had in years! To start the food was terrible. For co-owning an Italian restaurant it is a shame that Cecils does not know how to make Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. The chicken was supposed to be fire grilled .... Not only were there no grill marks, the chicken was obviously baked in the oven and then reheated in a microwave, it was so dry it broke when you tried to pick it up with a fork. Thats not it though, the Alfredo sauce may have been alright had it not been filled with julienned bell pepper strips that made the entire dish taste like creamy bell peppers. Im not kidding when I say Stoffers frozen Alfredo is far superior and more authentic. The service was terrible, our server took our order, delivered our beers (the brewery didnt have its own beer on tap), brought us our food, and never came back until she brought the check. She never checked to see if our meals were okay, or asked if we wanted another beer (we did). The ambiance would have likely been okay had we not been sat in a booth right under the speakers being used to broadcast trivia. We had to yell across the table to hear each other (even though there were at least 10 open tables in the restaurant when we were sat). It was a very bad experience, I hope others are not treated this way and fed food I wouldnt even feed my dog.

Julie and her team went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was nothing short of perfect. She pays attention to all of the small details and walks you through every step of the way to make sure all of your catering needs are met. Our expectations were certainly exceeded. Look no further than Cecil s if you want amazing food and perfect service!

Best burger and craft beer Ive tried in a while. Great service!

July 22, 2024

The waitress didn t even walk us to our table, she just pointed and it wasn t even close to busy. We came for trivia night, they neglected to ask/invite us to play even though we said that is why we came. Planned to have a meal as well, but left after 15 minutes because nobody came back to even ask if we wanted something to drink. Will never go back here. Extremely poor service.

What a great place to eat. Going here is an easy choice. The restaurant looks amazing. Its enjoyable to be in during your visit. The menu is just the right size and has an amazing variety of items to choose from. The food is prepared quickly with care paid to presentation so it looks amazing as its delivered to your table. The food is delicious. A lot of it is prepared / made in house and theyve really spent time and attention into making good food. The service is fast, friendly and helpful. They come around just enough to ensure youre enjoying your meal without you getting like they are hovering over you. You will not be disappointed by choosing to go here.

I ordered the prime rib and asked for it sliced thin. Not a huge ask. Was condescendingly told no because thats how its portioned. Food came out just a thick slab of pink meat. If I wanted whats essentially an unseared steak, I could have made that at home. Rest of the food was ok. Diner quality at steakhouse prices. No surprise that they need half a dozen ghost kitchens to stay open.

This was the first time we had been to Cecils, the staff were very friendly, the service was quick without being rushed. We were brought iced water and were also asked if there was any other drinks we required. Two in our party ordered the spinach cheese dip and the feed back was great. We ordered two beef bourguignon and a chicken parmesan, there was plenty of food, all the dishes tasted great. No one ordered dessert as we were full from the main course, but there is a good selection on the menu. I was having trouble with my card going in the pay machine, but the waitress did not get upset, and was more than happy to help sort it out. I would recommend anyone who is not to good with steps to use the patio entrance from the carpark as this has a ramp and the steps at the Wyld street entrance are a bit big. I would certainly go back and would recommend Cecils to anyone. Parking: Located at the back of the building, 30 available spots, accessible from Wyld street

I had the black bean burger. Literally the best I have had in a long time. The man who served us was extremely polite. Will be returning Food

While the hostess was friendly and we got sat quickly. Our server never introduced herself, just asked if she could get us something to drink, when questioned about a tea, she didnt know if they had it, when the tea did come, it was so strong because the bag was already in but no milk or cream was served with it. The food came out quick, wasnt even done our appetizer before our main meals came out, once that happened the server Nancy (which i later only found out by looking at the bill)was no where to be found to serve us. When she did happen to walk by, she shook her head at us and ignored us, we had to approach another server for a bill, when Nancy finally dropped off the bill, she put it down and quickly walked away. Based on the service alone I dont think I will be coming back at cecils.

March 22, 2024

Our server was very friendly and helpful. The food, however, was disappointing and tasteless. I ordered a burger and asked for lettuce, pickles, cheese and bacon. There were no pickles on the burger, just 4 round ones beside it, and the bottom burger bun was incredibly soggy. My friend ordered the pot roast meal ($$) and it was so dry she had to ask for a side of gravy, which still wasn t enough for her to stomach the meal. We decided to try a dessert since we were still hungry. We each ordered a slice of banana cake, and again, very dry and difficult to eat, so neither of us finished it. We won t be returning.

February 22, 2024

Ordered bacon wrapped beef. Its literally pig fat wrapped beef. If I wanted beef flavored bubble gum, I would have spent $7 to make it at home. I cant even eat this Half of one piece had actual pig muscle and not fat. And for the amount charged? Almost worse than being jumped. Id pay $100 to avoid it. Statistically higher quality food drives more sales, since people come back in higher ratios. Owner is an absolute stand up artist dishing this junk out. I dont even have to mention im maaaad OMG I JUST CHECKED THE INSIDE OF EACH PIECE AND ITS GLOWING PINK!!! TOTALLY UNCOOKED APART FROM 1/16 OF THE OUTSIDE!! Who would have known cooking my own meal would have been safer tonight. Ouch.

Good food, friendly staff. However, the place had a bizarre set up. Theyre trying to look hip and trendy in half their set up. But the place is as bright as a Zellers, no music or ambience around so when its busy it sounds like a cafeteria. Im not sure what the plan is/was for the atmosphere there but they need to rethink it. A higher end, higher priced shouldnt feel like a truck stop/cafeteria.

Review in 2020: (4 Stars) Good food, great space and events location. Great to have a sit-down with some pals or workmates after a long day. Service can be hit or miss though at times. Review 2022: bought chicken tenders, they tasted of fish. This to me means that the batter has been used on both Chicken and fish. I also was told the fryers share allergens too. If your buying fried foods here beware that if you have a fish allergy you will probably react. Called this in and was offered to have new chicken tenders sent to us. I was also told that the outcome would likely be the same though. So cross contamination isnt a concern here and thats sad.

After a long day of Halloween activities and trick or treating my husband and I decided to order food. We used Skip The Dishes. The two entrees we ordered we not available and Skip The Dishes called back to modify the order. I changed the order to a full rack of ribs and Fajitas. When the email came back showing the modified order it only showed the ribs. Long story short after speaking with Skip The Dishes they advised me that because what i wanted was more money they couldnt add it. They then hung up on me. I called Cecils restaurant and Sam immediately changed the order and added my food to the delivery. Sam totally saved the day and because of her awesome attitude and willingness to help not only did she help a mom eat but she kept well paying customers for this retauarant. Thank you Sam!!

Cecils has a great pub look and atmosphere. The brewhouse look is prevalent as well, with the great polished vats standing over the dining area, suggesting good times to follow. But, at the end of the day, what counts for me is food quality. Without it, even the Taj Mahal wouldnt do. Now I could speak to a few of their dishes and talk about how delish they all are. But one that stands out - and I mean really stands out - is the usually-simple-at-other-places Reuben Sandwich. Their Reuben is beyond good and combined with their in-house mustard, is a delight that would have them beating Bobby Flay if they were on Food Network. Combine their amazing Reuben with the soup of the day - the one that day was an amazing savoury tomato cream soup, and you have a reasonably priced amazing luncheon experience that sings in your mouth, dances across your palate and sits ever-so-comfortably leaving you with a satisfied foodie feeling. Top it off with stunningly good customer service and Wow. Cecils is an experience!

I called and placed an order for a poutine. I specifically asked what kinda of gravy they use. I was told it was a mushroom based gravy. I had the poutine and it was ok but the next time I ordered I was told they dont have a mushroom based gravy at all!! If you are a vegetarian looking for poutine I recommend Ivans instead

15 minute wait when there are 4 waitresses and not 10 people in the place. When my bill is 57 dollars and change, and I give your a 100.00 bill, 1) yes I want change, 2) dont bring me 2 - 20 dollar bills. If I have to ask for change twice all your getting for a tip is the 2. 75 you bright along with my 20s. Food was meh!

THANK YOU JTs Fish&Chips for BEST meals!! Thats why youre our Fav spot!!

December 22, 2020

Terrible portions for the price ... bought three apps and a pasta main and it came to over 80$ and the portions and taste just wast worth the price.

December 22, 2020

Cost $54.43 for an order of fish and chips (one piece of fish), a very small club sandwich, and antojitos that looked like one mini tortilla cut into 6 incredibly tiny pieces. The portions were waaaay too small for the price and everything was bland and gross. The fish was covered in the thickest layer of tastless, doughy batter Ive ever had, not an once of seasoning or even salt or pepper on anything. Not even the fries. No one finished their meal and we ended up ordering pizza instead. It was our first time ordering from here and unfortunately we wont be ordering again. :/ also the coleslaw was somehow the hottest thing delivered to our door and everything else was lukewarm or cold.

The food was really good but our server Nancy was not so great. We had to ask for cutlery and napkins and when I opened my napkin it was still dirty . She was a very unattentive waitress and left empty glasses on the table even after bringing our dessert

December 22, 2020

Forgot my fries and refused to deliver an order, burger is pink and mushy, condiments are clearly canned. Waste of $20 for a gross meal that I didnt eat. Edit: I cant figure out how to respond. My boyfriend ordered around 1800, we drove from Callandar to pick up our gross order, got back go Callandar, realized fries werent there, called, got told next time I go in I can have a free fry. I dont even live in North Bay so that means nothing to me.

Great place for a nice dinner. Friendly service, short wait time and the steak was just perfect. Four stars only because I asked my dish without the Yorkshire pudding, but I still got it. On the other hand this was the best Yorkshire pudding I ever had at a restaurant. Would recommend.

If you want food that has flavour, dont come here. We waited 45 minutes for our order only to receive bland food. The best part of the fish and chips was the coleslaw. Id honestly rather spend the same amount of money at the Pizza Pizza.

Best food ever!! Love the sauce on the ribs. Ribs are fall off the bone tender. Wings are cooked perfectly and big meaty wings is a plus! Steak bites in bacon are amazing. The wife loved her cordon bleu, says it s the best she s ever had, so I had to taste it. I 100% agree. The long grain rice tastes amazing. We haven t got to the chocolate cake yet. Cause we re so full but it looks amazing. Delivery staff was professional and respectful and also very polite. Love supporting small businesses like this. Thank you for the best take out meal we ve ever had!

My wife and I came in with the chill of being out on the lake on a cold fall day and were looking for something to warm us up. It was either French Onion Soup or Bouef Bourguignon. Fortunately both were on the menu. We chose the BB, hers on mash and mine on noodles. It was what we needed, good, hearty fare although it was not exactly what I expected. I missed the pearl onions, carrots and button mushrooms and a good amount of burgundy. This stew had spring onions and sliced mushrooms and no carrots and if there was wine in there at some time, it had evaporated with the flavour. (I also like to add a 1/4 cup of cognac and shallots.) On the other hand I enjoyed the craft beer as recommended by the waiter (You should have identified yourself, then I would give you a shout-out). She also brought me a sample of another beer I wanted to try. She was attentive and efficient. We took dessert to-go and enjoyed the chocolate cake and banana bread cake thoroughly. We definitely would recommend this resto brew pub. Btw, someone else has already mentioned the decor, so I wont belabour that point, but ...Damn!

Sunday brunch is superb, theres so much delicious fried food available on the menu, the Cecils burger is double everything and in my opinion one of the two best burgers in northern Ontario. The nachos are homemade and the best in town if they get to your table before they become soggy and cold. Unfortunately the bar employs violent thugs as security and Ive had more than enough bad experiences to never drink there again. I remember once preparing to leave, paying my bill and being immediately pushed out an entrance before having the chance to grab my coat. I remember misplacing a credit card and asking a very rude bartender if it was used for a tab only to be assaulted by three security personnel determined to rip off my arm, nose and fingers, my shoulder has never fully healed from this affront to human rights. I remember being violently thrown out with a group of friends because my anaemic friend had trouble standing after a complete stranger threw a bottle at her head and she was presumed intoxicated. I could go on but there isnt enough time in the day. A majority of the bands that regularly play there are of inferior quality. The fried cheese sticks are terrifyingly bland, some rosemary and dill would improve them enormously. Very easy to get in with no ID.

These guys are are sure tying hard to be a top notch restaurant in North Bay. Once the food quality catches up to the prices, the interior is cleaned up a bit and the temperature is controlled so the waitstaff and patrons are not uncomfortable they will almost be there. The waitstaff was very good, even in the heat. So you get a B for effort and a D for execution. We will not be back.

Ordered a Ruby Red and it arrived without head. Even after they replaced the beer gas, it was really flavourless. Ordered a French onion soup, average at best. Ordered Pickerel, rice and veggies. Veggies were cold, rice was pasty. The fish was ok. Then they offered me a free desert. Definitely do not recommend this place. There are better places to spend your hard earned dollars.

I recently dined here for lunch with a friend. Although there were more servers than patrons, the service was horrible...and the food worse. My chicken wrap had 2 small chicken nuggets and was stuffed with soggy lettuce and a repulsive sweet sauce. My friend ordered an in-house brew. The beer was stale tasting and left a bad after taste. Its rare when my friend cant choke down a beer. There are few restaurants this bad. No reason to go back.

Quick service and their home craft beer is good. However, the food is very disappointing. The bruschetta was close to disgusting. The fish and chip was decent, but the Buffalo chicken strips were cold and felt old, also coming with honey melon... In conclusion I do not recommend the restaurant if you want to eat, but if you just want to grab a beer yes it is a great place.

Cecils has always been one of my favorite places to go to in North Bay! They do offer some vegetarian options, along with many other regular options. I ordered the Quinoa & Black Burger, it was quite messy but delicious nonetheless. The food is a huge step up from regular pub food. They offer a variety of options such as: specialty burgers & sandwiches, salads, and fancier meals such as chicken, shrimp, and steak dishes. The food didnt take long to get and our waitress was very nice! It was a great evening, good atmosphere with some nice music playing in the background. I would highly reccomend Cecils! Even if your just looking for a place to watch a game & hang out with friends, they have alot of beer options & appetizers :)
