I was here for my wedding anniversary and Mike made my day, very proficient and friendly and made the food orders as we wanted. He had arranged nice songs on karaoke.
We had a 50th birthday party there and it was amazing! Highly recommend this place. Andrea was great to organize things with. The food was hot and fresh! And the drinks were really well priced!
Had a slight hiccup with a delivery order on Friday but Andrea made it right on Saturday (at my request for the day) with extras and delivered it to my house. No, we will give you a credit, as you know gets lost in the system . Ordered Kikka Kabobs, excellent. Highly recommend them as the food is good and they treat their customers as family. Will have to drop in for a pint and thank her.
I would really like to give this place a 5 star rating but it just isn't doable. Ladies were amazing and they really tried I have to give them that. There was no chef so the owner and waiter were very overwhelmed with cooking and serving. Food was pretty good for the most part but a little cold. My breakfast did not come with toast. They substituted with 3 pieces of pita bread but need a lot more than what they gave. Hopefully they can get a chef but it will be hard at 18$/hr
Not bad since new owners took over. Not a fan of the red accents. Wings are good. Fries were good. Beer was good. Chicken curry was good. Place just needs more people and top notch meals. I think with special attention and elevating the chicken wings and food this place can be a popular staple and an easy 5 star.
Complete 360 from the past owners!!Andrea is the difference between a mediocre experience and leaving feeling as though your experience was perfect! Above and beyond service , attention to detail and honesty no complaints. It’s a pub - we get it but she makes you feel like family. The owners have found a gem in her! Also had the fish and it was not only HUGE but surprisingly less greasy than I anticipated- The chef with the piercings came out himself to ensure everything was good…. A little bit of special attention that felt great and let’s me as a customer know he is back there doing what he can to ensure the best experience Thank you!!!
I had the Chicken tenders and the vanilla ice-cream from the kids menu, being completely honest, they were absolutely MOUTHWATERING!! And my(and my parents) server, Ali was super nice :)
This is a restaurant on the main Downtown Street. In Orangeville that has reopened now under new ownership. The new owners have brought a real English pub atmosphere by introducing Indian cuisine into normal British pub faRe just as they do in London. New is that this establishment now stays open throughout the evening and into the night and will also have live music. We sat on the patio on a nice July afternoon, which was excellent, and the food was both good and reasonably priced A highlight was the service by Anita This should be a trending place so come try it out
This is my go to place when I go out now! Since new management has taken over they have truly flipped the script and created one of the funnest places in Orangeville! Karaoke twice a week, live music, trivia, paint nights and dance parties! A little something for everyone
Always a blast!! The spot where young and old folks have a great night of fun whether its karaoke or live music there is always something to look forward to at Thistle
Came from out of town on their karaoke night and found it to be very energetic and a fun evening. May not be what I m used to but a very nice establishment to have fun on a Friday night!
10/10 absolutely love this place! Friday night karaoke is so much fun, this place is definitely turning into the place to be on a night out
Horrible. An older employee kept screaming at my 20 year old sister and was very rude to her (and me) over a very small mistake she apologized multiple times for. Very gross behaviour. Do better.
fake jager bombs monster not redbull also goofy atmosphere
After a long hard day at work, I was happy to note that Thistle and Rose were one of the few restaurants in Orangeville that were still open at around 8:30pm on a Tuesday night. I was soo hungry, but soo extremely disappointed when my meal arrived looking like half a kids meal. Disappointed with the portion size, if thats the standard. Even a 10yr old would not be satisfied.
I had the Masala Taco - beautifully prepared on a folded naan, with a sweetness and mild heat, but tons of flavour.
There on Sunday morning for an Amazing breakfast!!!...will definitely be back. Service was excellent
Absolutely delicious. I really love the Indian fusion items on the menu. I had the Taco masala and my partner had samosa quesadilla. The taco masala was phenomenal! Seriously sooo tasty. We went mid-afternoon on a Saturday and the service was a little slow but we both recommend this place.
Worst experience Ive ever had in a restaurant the kitchen didnt know what they were doing and it took over a hour to get our food !!! The best thing is the waitress was very kind and nice gave us our food for free !
Summer salad was incredible. Love the new menu and new vibe.
Amazing experience! Stopped from out of town , food and service were top notch. Recommend stopping for a smash burger. I ll be back!!
Food took forever and we were the only diners in the restaurant
Great food & services
Owners couldnt afford staff, so would constantly be sitting around blebding in with the furniture which would often confuse customers while they entered. Owners also couldnt pay their staff on time, and would get beligerent when asked about money. If you cant afford to run a restaurant, then dont. This town deserves so much better.
Andrea was fantastic... awesome service!! Creemore on tap is a big bonus!!! We had the bacon smashed burger and it was soooo delicious! We were a group of 5 and we were all so impressed!! We will be back for sure!
Everything is great. Love it
Food was so delicious and freshly made ..price and environment also great must visit
Place Looks Awesome... Great looking BAR. You brought it back to life.... Excellent Job. Cant wait till you get Toronto Beer on TAP ! Goes great with Spicy Lentil Pappadums. Wish the new owners all the best. Remember....... the spicier the food, the more Beer you drink. Cant wait to visit again for Kobes Birthday and the Bollywood Karaoke Party !
Me and my friends recently had a great meal at This place.The place is cozy and nicely decorated, making it perfect for any occasion.The staff were amazing. They greeted us warmly and provided excellent service. The food was fantastic.This place exceeded our expectations. The food, service, and atmosphere were all top-notch. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in Orangeville.
Good place, friendly staff. The wings were good. The wife had a swiss burger that she enjoyed
I popped in for a quick pint and to hear some live music. Food looked good. Service was friendly and quick. I will be back!
Met friends for lunch. Fish was mushy twice. Fries were tasteless. First and last visit. Oil not hot enough for cooking properly and oil was old, it made very dark fish.
Very kind employees!
First time visit to this newish pub. Not busy when we arrived but picked up. Atmosphere doesn t lend itself to a traditional pub but may suit others. Beer was cold, but food fell short of expectations. Half of our meals were bland and lukewarm at best. May give it a second chance as it is relatively new to me.
Only a 3 star because they didnt have any Bourbon, bud, bud lite & no fish and chips.
Had a great time watching the World Cup final with my friends here, the mushroom soup was fantastic
I had the beef stew. Excellent!
So many great things! Where to start? Everything that I have eaten at the Thistle & Rose has been spectacular! The real star of the show is the Guiness Beef Stew. I love that I can get my favorite beer (Moosehead) on tap! I love that the pub is alive and well so many years after my first days visiting the Winchester Arms back in the 90s. Great people, great energy, great times. And last but not least...if Kenny is around, challenge him to a game of Cribbage!
It was awesome!
Nice atmosphere. Good food
Dropped by for dinner last night with my family to enjoy their $10 wings. Not only great food, but a great atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised when my children were offered items to colour with and board games to play. What a great idea! We will definitely be returning.
Super lovely space, food, & staff!!
Haven t been out or enjoyed Orangeville in a while, went back to a place we were treated so wonderfully before and Kelli took such amazing care of us and we stayed played games and listened to live music just to be around for longer because of the great service and spectacular atmosphere. Thank you always thistle and rose for taking care of us
Best club sandwich in town, beer is fresh and alway pours great. All around great food, atmosphere, live music on Saturdays, and the service (Kelly) is the best in the biz
Very accommodating great atmosphere and amazing service
We go to thistle and Rose every Monday for wings they are lovely and our lovely waitress Kelli is the bomb. We also like to go on a Saturday afternoon for a drink and listen to the band they have on Saturday s. This is a nice place to relax and be entertained
We popped in for lunch on our way through! Our server was a younger blonde girl (I can t remember her name) was super sweet and attentive. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and daily specials. She was good at gauging where we were at and never felt hovered. Also 10/10 conversation as we were paying! The food was super tasty! I had the Monday wing special and the fries were hand cut and super fresh. Prices are great too! $40 for two meals, small salad and a pop! Will be back the next time we come into town.
Warm friendly place
Great spot! Good people, great beer and delicious food!! Highly recommend this pub!!
Great place. Recommend going on their wings night for discounted food.
500 / 100 ON SERVICE, 1,000 / 100 ON FOOD

Went for first time. Ordered the beef stew. 4 small pcs of beef . 6 small pcs carrots 12 peas on a huge bowl of broth. Not that good and for the price a very poor value. Wifes sandwich ok only
First timers. Arrived about 7 pm on Tuesday eve. Only 2 other customers there. Greeted and got drinks quickly. It s old but some nice renovation. The bathrooms are vile.(smell) We ordered a couple of wraps, a fish and chips of which there was only one left (tiny) and Guinness stew. Took about 40 min for food. It seems like they split what should ve been one order of fries into three orders. I added pepper, malt vinegar, and hot sauce to my stew and it s still lacked flavor. It was basically a soup with peas, carrots, and potatoes floating in it. The garlic bread was soggy. We chose there for the curry advertised on their website, but there was no longer Curry. Server was pleasant, but for the price, the atmosphere and the food do not recommend at all.
Felt little awkward. Host made us wait 15 minutes when there were so many empty tables inside and then came and said it s gonna be long wait like more than 20 minutes for the food. Seems she didn t want us to be there. Wanted to give 0 but no option for that. We went to very next restaurant and fantastic server over there. We were not told to wait and service was fantastic: no waiting or anything like that. The Black Wolf way better than this.
We celebrated a friends birthday a couple Mondays ago. Weve heard about the wing deal but had never gone so thought hey why not try it out! Our waitress was hilarious and I feel awful for blanking on her name, tall brunette, accent and just all around great service. The wings were delicious and handcut fries were lovely. A great wing meal for only $10! We will be regulars! Go check it out and alot of other amazing menu items Ill have to try eventually!
The servers and everyone who work at this restaurant are so attentive and kind. They have board games that are nicely organized and dart boards and music and a TV! Theyve got amazing food and the restaurant is very clean!! Thank you for making our trip through orangeville so welcoming and yummy
Amazing food! Had turkey club with mozzarella sticks to start. Partner had wings and stuffed yorkies. All 5 out of 5! Great beer selection on tap, and fun atmosphere with darts and board games. Also offer live music, but was not on the night we were there. We are definitely going back next time in the area!
What can I say, great food, great service, and delicious beer!
Always love coming here for quality food, drinks and service! Hosts great entertainment, and they have some really delicious lunch specials! But I keep coming back for Diannas famous Ceasars ;) yum!!

One of the best restaurants in Orangeville! Great service and amazing food! Will definitely be back!
The service and the food were great. Will definitely go back soon.
Always great!
My time of visit was about 6:10 on Sunday, June 12, 2022 Cameron (the waiter) was awesome I would definitely come back with my family or friends because of the quality of service he provided today To the owner, Cameron was very professional and know his work very well....it would be benefecial to you if you get him to train all your staff to spread the quality of service he provided, he is very impressive knowing not many waiter his age would demonstrate the kind of friendliness and attention he provided Well done Cameron
We had an excellent turkey club sandwich and some wings. The beer was icey cold, just the way I love it. Looking forward to going back to listen to some live music and enjoying another beer.
Good irish pub atmosphere and nice 70s music
This kitchen has got their menu nailed down. Well done 10/10 everything.
Great food! Great Service! Great atmosphere! First time in but definitely wont be our last.
Small menu packed with flavor.. nice selection of pints, very clean, and the staff is awesome.
Amazing food and most wonderful company! Our server Dianne made our first experience since moving to Orangeville our first pub great! Thank you Thistle & Rose we ll be back soon - Jesse, Beau and Miranda
Great place. Their live music days are always worth going for
Good service and a good selection of ales.
Great spot with excellent food & drinks, friendly service, well done.
Enjoyed a delicious lunch! Hands down my favourite Turkey Club. So many great seating options with the patio out front and behind plus the clean beautiful interior. Highly recommend!
First time visit to a newish pub. The online menu was more appealing than what is actually being offered. It happened to be wing night which I ordered. Their hottest version is not hot and tasted of oregano the eggplant parmesan was passable but nothing special. Beer, Tennants comes in at 8.50$ a pint and was good, service was also good. Will be in no hurry to return.
Absolutely DELICIOUS food!! Everything we have here is always great!
Excellent Guinness & Wings
Came in on Thanksgiving. Grateful that they were open as just about all restaurants were closed. Ordered a gingerale as I was driving. Was given club soda. They gladly replaced but came back with club soda again. Ordered bacon cheddar burger. Burger well prepared but no cheddar. I dont know why they concentrate on condiments, fancy cranberry mayo but cant remember to put a main ingredient. I dont care about fancy mayo, onions, pickle, lettuce and whatever else is included. Just want to make sure bacon and cheese hamburger comes with cheese and bacon. I dont know what is going on but it seems extremely difficult to find a great spot with consistently good food. Undecided if returning.
I had a horrible experience the service was prompt and polite, the food was beyond delicious and the the sound in the restaurant made me happy. I will have to make this a favourite destination when in Orangeville, or even drive from GTA to double click another review. Thank you the overall experience was priceless.
6 stars. Mic drop!
Hubby and I had a great night out with friends. Dinner, drinks, dancing and live music with Stanley Rumonly!
Great lunch! Excellent meals and service! It would be nice to have a better selection of local craft beer. Well definitely be back!
Great homemade food and great service.
Nice welcoming atmosphere. Friendly efficient staff. Clean, good food.
Excellent food and fantastic service!
