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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.
