We pre-planned a bus trip stop for 40 people at lunch time. The folks at The Hatter were amazing. Food was awesome. Highly recommend stopping here for a bite to eat

Today I finally got to try the Prime rib dinner. I would have tried it a long time ago, but did not realize that it only appears on Skip the Dishes on the weekend at 5pm. It was delicious! Good size serving. Love the yorkshire pudding. My only wish, would be that the brocollini was cooked more. It also arrived nice and hot, which is rare for a delivery meal. Fantastic meal. Will order again.

Been here before and had great food just moved here and thought we would go ahead. Service was good however waited 45 min for our meal I ordered medium roast came well done my husband ordered liver and onions - he said it was the worse he has ever eaten. Sorry won’t be back.

Been here a few times. The food is really good and very reasonably priced. The portion sizes are quite large so it's good value for your money. We have found the service a little slow, but maybe they're short staffed so who knows. The servers are always friendly though. Tables, floors and chairs are always clean.

Went to check out Gastropub with my wife. Food was excellent quick and delicious. Seen this restaurant on an episode of the Burger Meister exactly as they explained no disappointment! Waitress was nice. Ordered Burger and my wife had the Korean Salmon power bowl both excellent!

As a foodie, coming from Toronto to meet my sister I was skeptical about bar food. She kept on raving about this Lobster pasta dish, so, we had a go. I had no expectations. We started with a Greek Salad, which was fresh and delicious (can be shared with 3) and some sweet potatoe fries which were very good. To the main dish, the lobster pasta was really good, and a big portion for the money value. My small critique, less black pepper while cooking. Overall it was creamy, and you can really taste the lobster. It was a 10 for me. Ah, the fries are good too 😊

First time visiting took my mom out for lunch. We both ordered the Lobster and bacon grilled cheese. Yum it was good. Fries were cooked how I like them a little well done and my mom said her soup was also good. Looking forward to coming back.

Food is average. Fries are way too salty. Fish and chips are insanely salty. Mushrooms on the appetizers are not what they are made out to be. Do not order these. Only thing I can recommend is the oysters.

Literally every time I come here they are out of the first 2 or 3 options that I want to order for years. Oysters, if you come any other day but Wednesday they never have them. (Don t put them on the menu which literally says everyday on it, if you re only bringing them in for Wednesdays). Out of Shaved ribeye at 7:00 pm on a Friday evening before the rush manager either doesn t know how to run a restaurant, or the owner is too cheap to bring in enough supply to last for basic demand. Pathetic after so many attempts and SO many failures

Liver & onions...liver was dry af and only had 4 slivers of onions & 3 tiny pieces of diced bacon. Terrible Asked if there was black pepper in second meal, told no so ordered it. Throat swelled up due to pepper allergy and when staff was asked was told theres pepper in everything, we didnt state allergy. Dont recommend but if u choose to go ask many questions and be specific when ordering

Went on Father s day. Service was horrible. Food (prime rib) was so tough and tasteless that my husband and I took a few bites and left it. We should have said something then. We were with 2 other couples and didnt want to complain. Caesar salad was very good. We were going to order dessert -but after our dinner plates were cleared - didnt see our waitress for almost 30 min. so we gave up and wanted to get out.

Although they have gastropub in the name, inside it doesnt feel like they are going for the trendy angle other pubs in Orangeville are going for. I have enjoyed the wings, and the curry sauce they serve with the chips is delicious. To me this is a basic pub, solid in each category.

Went there for dinner had oysters, korean chicken bites and their prime rib. Extemely dissapointing and overpriced food with no taste and wasnt even cooked properly. The chicken bites were probably bought frozen from Walmart and tosses in some sauce just 6 tiny bites for $16 plus tax. You can buy a whole meal for that price elsewhere. Their oysters were nice but 6 for $20 are you kidding me. The last and the worst and I specially took a photograph of this the prime rib asked medium rare came undercooked rare the meat was oozing blood and there was no sear looked like it was tossed in the pan and taken out just like that. Mashed potatoe with the potatoe skin in it and the raddish was rotten and tastes like fungi. The muffin that came was burnt didnt eat it. $32 for all that and the food wasnt even propery served we got no dinner plates nothing. How can a restaurant serve such food and keep going is beyong my comprehension.

I had a really good time! The food was great and the waitress was amazing!

December 22, 2023

While being in the restaurant for an hour our server only spoke to us twice. It took 5 minutes for us to be seated despite the restaurant being nearly empty, over 15 minutes for them to take our order and around 40 minutes for us to get food! There was next to no customers in the restaurant. But what really soured our mood was when our server DEMANDED that we pay a tip, one of my friends hit no tip on the machine and our server told our other friend that he has to tip more because he didnt tip. They made our whole table feel terribly uncomfortable. I understand that tipping can be important for servers, but when you barely meet the bare minimum requirements, its really hard to find a reason to tip. Will not be going back.

December 22, 2023

some of the most awful service i ve had!! after waiting around 5 minutes to be seated, another 15 for our order to be taken then 45 mins for the food to be served, and finally another 30 for us to eat we were spoke two TWICE!!! Those two conversations were to seat us and take our order. after being given the bare minimum when it comes to serve and choosing not to give a tip, i was then met with an attitude then my group was told with the most disgusting attitude you need to tip more because he didn t tip which made my group very uncomfortable and angry. Like how can someone in the service industry be so rude and demanding? i would really hope the other servers are a lot better at they re jobs.

Tried this pub for the first time today and we had a great experience. Service was amazing and food was excellent. Shared a spinach dip to start and the kid has a chicken ceaser salad, wife had the fish and chips and I had the hatter burger with fries and gravy ( mmm dark gravy). All in all 4/5 would recommend and we will be back!

December 22, 2023

Hostess was great, but our party waited over 20 minutes to be simply asked about drinks, over 1 hour to be served our food, and our waitress neglected to cater to us throughout the entire night- We weren t asked a single time if everything was ok, or if we needed anything. Basic serving etiquette was not met, and over 3 hours of our night were wasted due to poor service. Also, 2 tables that were seated after us were served before us. Yikes.

Went into the Mad Hatter at the orangeville location. Right off the bat there was karaoke which isnt that big of a deal if it didnt ring my ear drums from being so loud the entire time. The servers were awful and didnt collect the empty glasses when getting refills. Ordered the hatter burger with fries and the cheesy garlic bread. The garlic bread turned out to be more of a cheesy bread than garlic cheese and the bread was burnt. The Prime rib burger was so dry that I couldnt finish the burger and the fries tasted like something you would buy from walmart. They were over cooked to the point that it was breaking apart from picking up a fry.

December 22, 2023

Slow service. Mediocre food. And the manager likes to talk about staff in front of customers- completely unprofessional.

Local Guide
December 22, 2023

First thing I noticed was the Irish, Scottish and British flags and a leprechaun sign all a mixed bag decor in this place. The next was a bunch of locals who looked like they were from the same family. We knew we stepped into the wrong place when the order for a salmon bowl with seasonal vegetables arrived with this places version of Korean kimchi, a couple of sliced carrots a random slice of lettuce and a meeger slab of store bought frozen salmon, that looked as if it was purchased at a local discount store. When one of us asked about the lack of vegetables in the salmon bowl, the cook and the waitress said that s what it is, even though the meal description said it included seasonal vegetables. We could hear the waitress trash talk one of us to the cooking staff she didnt hold back with her tongue lashes about us for being asked a simple question. then when we asked for a manager, a short angry little man came out ready for a fist fight . No mention of accommodation or assistance with a request to provide more vegetables. The cultural misappropriation of what I think they are trying to pass off as an Irish restaurant is just tacky, the food resembles a cross between a fry truck on the side of the road and a mix of home cooked mash purchased from the local Walmart .

The restaurant wasnt packed yet it took forever to get our food. The spinach and pita was good but pita on 2 orders were burnt so they replaced it upon request. 2 orders of lobster linguine had barely any lobster and and no taste of wine seemed to be just an alfredo sauce. Wine on their menu was not available when they only serve 3 different bottles. Their oysters tasted good but they were all tiny choice size like youd get in Toronto for buck a shuck. The waitress should have saod they only had extra small oysters being sold at full price.

Our first visit was about a year ago, but definitely not our last! The meals are very tasty. Service is friendly and prompt. Between us on this visit, we had both perogie dishes, the beef dip, haddock sandwich, caesar salad, and all three desserts. Even my fussy teenager loved the food. We go back regularly. Parking: Small lot immediately by the restaurant. One handicapped parking spot with a ramp up to the walk. The walkway itself is a very high step up, so if you have any even slight mobility issues, it can be a challenge to step up without walking to the handicapped spot to go up there. If a vehicle is in the spot, this access may be blocked.

Really great service and a really good menu. This place however indicates GF foods on their menu, which may be GF but NOT SAFE for Celiacs. I think that is misleading because there is cross contamination. The server was very quick to indicate that it is not Celiac Safe. I feel they should remove that claim from their menus.

We decided to go to the Hatter partially because we had gone there before for a brief stop before going to Forage, for dinner but mostly because we heard that the lineups for the local rib festival were exceedingly long. Little we know... Service started well enough, with a seemingly attentive server. The place wasnt busy (a few couples outside in the patio area - where we were sitting, and 2 or 3 smaller parties inside). However, our meal took an extremely long time to get to our table (though we were approached twice for more drink orders and the other tables got their meals long before us, even though we ordered long before them). At the end of it all, the amount of time it took to get our food was well over 45 minutes if not over an hour. I completely understand delays - they are a part of life for a busy restaurant - but not when its barely at a quarter of its capacity. In fact, it felt like our order wasnt even submitted to the kitchen until much later on. The other server who was working outside kept making sidelong glances at our table, but, again, nothing was done (even though we kept asking after our food). At the end of it all, there wasnt even a real apology. No recompense whatsoever - and the icing on the cake was the gratuity already included for parties of 6 or more on the bill. The food was decent - which was small sliver of a silver lining - but it certainly didnt make up for the delay (which, frankly, affected our plans for the rest of the night). Hopefully this is a one-off. As folks from out of town who enjoyed previous sojourns to other restaurants in the area (which were great experiences), we were very disappointed in this place and will probably not go back.

A heart warming experience Tried the mussels freshly bought from PEI and man oh man L. O. V. E. D it! The white wine sauce it was drenched in, is all you need or so I thought until I paired it with some beer (I was recommended to try The Harp by the lovely waitress) and its my new favourite. Tried the Lobster Linguine (the Lobster was a tiny bit hard to find) but the sauce made up for it. The Chef is amazing and I will be going back for the once-a-month karaoke night The Hatter is a beautiful combo of history and good food and therefore, a must try if you visit Orangeville. Dont forget to tip your waitress well especially the one whose name I wish Id asked :*

In the summer, my family from Orangeville and I (from Toronto) enjoyed a delicious dinner in The Hatter. My fish and chips were just as I would want to taste if I was visiting Scotland or Ireland again. The interior decor of The Hatter was reminiscent of my travels and I was happy with the ambience in this restaurant and in the bar area. The service was too slow for our liking but it gave us longer to enjoy being there with each other. I was also happy to see the iconic British red telephone booth at the front of the The Hatters building and, of course, had to have my photo taken there. I was happy with this whole British/Irish restaurant experience and will definitely return there to dine with my family.

Menu is very limited. The restaurant was clean, the service was okay, the waitress though was nice. It just took a long time to take our order. The food was okay, a salad on Notcho chips.

I would not recommend this place to any one. We went there for dinner today Monday the 27 of September. Ordered a couple of drinks and were reading the menus when a mouse appeared in the bar area. The staff tried to capture it but after a couple of laps around the bar area it disappeared under a bank of chairs. One of the staff tried to catch him in a carry out container and made the comment that he had been out in the patio earlier.we left without ordering any food. THEY OBVIOUSLY H AVE A RODENT PROBLEM.

The food was good and lots of good choices. But the service was slow. Lots of staff walking around but it seemed we were ignored. Took awhile to get menus and then forever to get a bill. Will definitely give it another try.
