Restaurant was extremely hot inside. Both burgers sent to our table were raw inside. Our medium steak was cooked rare and our starter was forgotten. On top of hearing the kitchen and serving staff argue with each other while we were waiting for our order to be taken. The chef did come out to our table to see how our food was about 20 minutes after we received it an he reassured us that his kitchen was hot so he didn’t understand why the meat was undercooked, he did offer to put it back on the grill but at this point we were out of time. We paid full price, left and will not be back. I recommend going anywhere else.
Based on the reviews of this restaurant and the website our experience was not a positive one. While the staff are friendly the food was appalling. We received garnish not Once but 3 plates which was wilted and slimy greens. This was brought to their attention no correction was made and brought questions to the state and freshness of the food. We boxes it up and left once the mains came as they had the same wilted slimy greens upon the plate hidden under some other veggies after the chef himself we told about the condition of the food. The overall look of the food wasnt the freshest. Very expensive and disappointing experience. Be ware
Just visiting Owen Sound this was on our list of places to try. We sat on the patio out the back. Blonde server was friendly. We just got appetizers and a drink as we didn't plan to stay long. The cactus sweet potato chips were really good as well as the dip for a light snack.
I wasn't going to write a review until I read that others had a similar experience. My twin brother and I brought our gfs here for our birthday dinner. The moment we walked in to ask about our reservation, we were greeted by the rudest waitress I've ever met. I thought maybe she was just busy so I shrugged it off. But then when it came to ordering our drinks, my girlfriend politely took her order and the woman responded with a snarky "Please!" with a hostile facial expression. I think she must have seen the facial reactions from everyone at our table because we were in shock and she quickly tried to change her demeanor from then on (likely because she was afraid we wouldn't tip her). It made my gf quite anxious, especially because she was the only person of colour at our table. Although I don't believe it was based on racism, it really soured the mood. The service is not worth coming here. I'm also reading in other reviews that this woman may be the owner. Needless to say - we will not be coming back.
Ordered 3 apps to share with my sister. The coconut shrimp was fully batter and fried. It wasn’t until we each popped one in our mouths & felt a hard crunch that we realized they left the tails on the shrimp. We had to pull apart each one to find the tails to take off, therefore removing any of the ‘coconut’ part so it was basically just plain shrimp. The onion rings were as thick as my thumb, undercooked, and so greasy. The spinach dip was alright, but the fried pitas were rock hard and almost black. Aside from the food not being good, our server was not very friendly. Didn’t look at us once while taking our order. We started our order off by saying “could we please get the….” Then once we were done saying our order she shortly responded “please.” As if implying we hadn’t already said please… which we did. She did that twice more to other guests we were with, although we were all very polite and used our manners. It made me anxious to even ask where the washrooms were, I just wanted to get out of there as our presence was clearly not welcomed. As a local I’ll never be back & will never recommend this place to anyone.
I recently visited Jazzmyns and had an outstanding experience! The food was delicious, with every dish perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The service was exceptional; the staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. We had some great conversations and thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance. Overall, it was a fantastic time, and I highly recommend Jazzmyns to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. I'll definitely be back!
Nice cozy pub in downtown Owen Sound. Some people think it's small but I'd say it's the same size as any 'hole in the wall' pub you'd find in a large city. I like it small sometimes because people are usually friendlier and staff gives good service. Certainly the case here. Also, food was tremendous. Like really good!
Great quality food and live music! Very friendly servers. Chef came out to check if customers liked their food. All menu items we ordered were tasty, made from scratch and reasonably priced.
Excellent food, Excellent service, excellent entertainment. Would recommend.
Kait and Spin my favorite
Wont be coming back
Food was ok and service was ok
Dropped in for a few beers and a quick bite while out touring, staff was very friendly and pleasant, we sat on the outdoor patio, I only had an order of garlic bread with cheese, so I cant say what the rest of the food was like but the garlic bread was very tasty, and the beer was cold, 2 very Important staples !!
Food: we ordered pad thai, chicken special, seafood bake and veg burger. Food was bland. No taste. It was fresh though. Pad thai lacked flavour(even salt needed to be added) chicken special and veg burger felt like no spice was added to it. Seafood hardly had any seafood and was basically small pieces in lot of cheese. Overall food lacked flavour. Even diet coke machine wasnt working properly as diet coke too felt like cheap soda mixed with water. Service: one server on Sunday dinner. Server was super busy and even forgot my sprite order(which i asked in exchange of diet coke as they machine was just pumping mostly water and no flavour). Cleanliness: washroom was surprisingly clean and no complaint in this department. Ambience: inside wasnt that good but patio was decent Overall: not recommended as food is just flavourless. Vegetarian options: There was vegetarian option in burger but taste was horrible. Parking: Street Parking is available in front of the restaurant
The service was great. They need to work on their food quality
If you are looking for great food, great patio atmosphere and great service look no further, Jazzmyns will not disappoint. All four of our meals were delicious!
Fantastic Restaurant! Friendly staff, great service, very good food, great portions and fun atmosphere!
Ordered a burger, had raw uncooked meat and practically cold on the inside still.
Fantastic vibe, live music and the best artichoke and spinach dip Ive ever had. A fabulous experience all around.
Better than average casual dining. They had live music the night I was there.
By far the best burger I have ever had. And in hindsight after seeing the steak dinner I was left wanting
Really good bbq wings and fries were great too.
Delicious food, great service and a wonderful place to go listen to live music or attend open mic!! So much fun!
Vegetarian options: Amazing pasta. Food
It s a small place, but omg !! The food it s delicious you definitely have to try Pad Thai :)
Except for a few visits to their back patio, it d been for a while since we visited Jazzmyn s because of Cove but we ve enjoyed a few awesome meals since coming back! The chef is very creative & we ve had some super cocktails too! Don t let the outside fool you.
My friend and I played an open mic night at Jazzmyns. First time. We enjoyed ourselves beyond a 5 . Courteous and friendly. Pam, the owner, was amazing. We wanted and waited for nothing. The nachos were fantastic ( recommended by Jameson the chef) . Shae hosted the open mic and made all the artists feel more than welcome. Thanks to all the Jazzmyns staff. Its a winning combination!! So...if youre looking for that place in Owen Sound. Jazzmyns wont let you down!!! Tiff and Mike
Busy night with a show at the Roxy next door, but they still found a spot for us and man, thank goodness they did! What a great night. Our server was amazing, super friendly and made us feel welcome and just one of the gang. The food was solid. I had one of the specials but my wife s pasta stole the show. Delish! Although my parisian potatoes put up a good fight. I will say the highlight was the homemade cheesecake. Wow, was it ever good. Definitely will be one of our go-to places going forward.
One of the worst meals in recent times. We both had the specials. Whitefish was so strong; not mild and slightly sweet as it should be. The steak full of gristle in every bite tried and barely chewable. Seasonal vegetables amounted to grocery store stock. We were still charged full price although both meals were sent back to the kitchen. Waitress did not even return with our change (paid cash). Extremely disappointing, will not return or recommend.
Great staff, super friendly. Nice place to go for a cold drink.
Food was fantastic, service was very obliging.
Made this our stop before Tobermory, and Im glad we did. The Pad Thai and Curry dish were surprisingly delicious and would definitely get them again! If youre looking for a nice detour on a road trip, Id recommend this place.
Phenomenal patio! Best in town! Excellent supporter of local indy music!
Excellent food, awesome patio!!
Best patio in town, great food, awesome classic rock playing, staff is delightful.
Great Night on the Patio.. Jazzmyns is the place to go if you in Owen sound. Awesome food, live music, great staff.. Dont miss out Kid-friendliness: All the food is great
A knockout hole in the wall, best left in this town.
We were passing through OS and found this place through Google. The food quality absolutely blew us away. I still dream about that curry!
Enjoyed the tasty lentil Sheppards pie and friendly service.
Hands down one of the worst meals I have ever had. Pasta was straight from a box, Alfredo sauce was just a little butter with herbs. Mushy over cooked vegetables. Disgustingly huge portions. The other person I was with got a burger, was completely raw and came out last because it wasnt ready . The other guest got the perch tasted like burnt oil. It was dead silent in the restaurant no music playing all you could hear was phone notifications. The dinning room was littered with flies. Will not be returning or spending another dime there.
We were looking forward to a night out with dinner and music but we were so disappointed we left before the music started. We left at 8:05 and the music was to have started at 8:00. We were greeted in a very friendly manner by the hostess/waitress/bartender who was working alone taking care of the out door seating, the lounge and dining area. She did her absolute best. There was a minimal wine selection but found one that was satisfactory. We started with the rubbery calamari. It happens. But I had the fish and chips with perch (I was excited because it was to be lightly fried). The fish tasted old and deep fried to an absolute crisp and the fries are dry - not crispy, just dry. My wife s salmon was moist, probably because it was a bit undercooked, but the worst part was the mashed potatoes (had to be two days old) and the frozen vegetables. We won t go back again.
Delicious food, great value, great service. Chicken curry & Pad Thai were top-notch. Highly recommended.
Unfortunately we visited on a busy evening and service was SLOW! I mean over an hour to get an appetizer. We did wait for our main course, however we wont be back. No offer of a free drink or apology for the crazy slow service.
staff are friendly and the food is great
Absolutely incredible experience!
Food was horrible therefore over priced. Waitress showed no appreciation for having a customer. Will not recommend Food
Seating is tight.
Highly recommend Jazzmyns to stop in for friendly atmosphere , delicious food and Pam was awesome to greet us and serve us , also met another beekeeper in there also enjoying dinner ! Such a small world . We will definitely be back as menu items are calling for us to try Thank you , Our lunch is ready for tmw
The food was spectacular. Along with live music, just a great spot. Definitely going to visit again.
Good food, unfriendly waitress. Pricey for quality - fresh veggies were frozen..pad thai in a thick sauce.
Always good food. Small club ambience. That little romantic hole in the wall.
Fantastic place with awesome food and service!
Visiting Owen Sound on a trip with some friends. This restaurant was the best dining experience we had on our entire trip! If visiting Owen Sound you must check this place out. It was so good that we went back on our 2nd day in Owen Sound with the same great outcome! Great staff and amazing food!
We ate at Jazzmyns two nights in a row and their food was awesome both nights. Atmosphere inside and out was spectacular. Greeted by Pam and her staff both nights, friendly staff serving with a smile and very ingaged with their clients. Hamburger with garden salad one night and curry dish next night. We tried their appetisers, chicken wings, calamari, shrimp with mango drip. Very very tasty and delicious. Grape vine on Jazzmyns patio is out of this world. Great job to Pam and her staff!! Kudos
Good food and fast service Bonus only decent place opened in downtown core when we visited. Will return in future
The patio is very nice. There was a band playing great songs with amazing solos. The beverages and food were delicious. The waitress made a wonderful bespoke coktail for my wife.
Sweet little spot in the heart of Owen Sound. Great food, friendly service and lots of live music.
We stopped in for Lunch today, the food was great, lived up to positives reviews . Waitress was very nice. We would definately come back
Friend took me here during my visit. It has a cute patio, but the waitress was rude and unfriendly, apparently she s the owner. I will definitely be avoiding this place in the future.
Unfortunately this place was a poor experience. Poor service, terrible food. Pad thai is a sauce of likely mayonnaise mixed with ketchup. Everything else is heavily fried. Will not return
On a Tuesday night we visited Owen Sound and liked the prospect of a jazzy themed restaurant with slightly upscale food. We walked in to see a cluster of bar flys. No live music and the piped in music wasnt even jazz. We opted to sit in the dining room. Not a quality dining room. We ordered yam chips and honey garlic wings as appetizers. Yam chips were overcooked and served with a blatantly obvious squeeze-bottle of tzatziki. The wings (10) were dry with a small cup of sauce on the side. They were served in under 10 minutes and we quickly realized that they were likely reheated from another order. Possibly from another day. Odd also was the fact they dimmed the already dim dining room lights just as we were served. I think they tried to mask things. We ate a couple of wings to figure things out but left immediately, leaving behind quite a bit of food. Full 15% to the waitress because none of this was her fault, and frankly should be saving for her future. We spent another 75 elsewhere and was very satisfied.
Cool little spot to hang out for a few drinks and visit with friends. Lots of live music.
Finally got down to ear here. Now that we are going to be locals I cannot wait to come here in the summer time and sit on their patio. Small joint, but busy.
Very cool spot with a beautiful backyard patio. Food was not great though, seemed to be made with really cheap ingredients.
Great food excellent service
Great food, great staff and service.
Rude service.
Watery overpriced cocktails, food wasn t good (the pad Thai is not anything close to pad Thai). Our server also didn t even show us the bill before running our card, it was so odd and the total of the bill was much higher than I expected. Will not be going back.
Great food, great service.
Best burgers in town!
Great food...was stuffed after! New server wasnt the greatest help tho. Needs to study the menu and beer selection.
Very accommodating
Great food,fun and atmosphere. Staff was fun and very efficient. A definite go to spot in Owen Sound
Great grape vine shaded patio. I ordered the fish and chips and was happy to see 2 nice pieces of perch (local?) with a golden panko and herb crust, instead of the usual greasy battered versions, homemade tartar and perfectly creamy coleslaw on on whole romaine leaves, fresh cut fries and what made it 5.5 stars is I got 2 fat juicy lemon wedges without having to ask :) -and of course lovely Pam who has made this place a local gem for decades and still manages to still keep it fresh.
Nice patio
cold beer
Great service and outstanding hospitality
Great food, gorgeous patio, friendly service!
Place is a dump And the food I would not feed to my dog. Stay away Nothing matches what it shown on the website And not wearing any masks either.
Didn t end up eating here due to serving staff and kitchen staff not wearing masks. The did attempt to screen loosely for vaccine passports but definitely not till seated.
We stumbled upon this spot while looking for a patio so we could eat outside. It was definitely a wonderful surprise. Helpful and friendly staff, and the patio was a surprise oasis. We ll definitely make a point of returning. The food was excellent and super tasty. We weren t rushed and thoroughly enjoyed the live entertainment.
Open mic night was fun and everyone is so kind! Definitely recommend the mocktail margaritas
Excellent service and staff.
Great food and they were open for lunch
Food is great. Enjoy going for live entertainment year round. Patio is cozy and nice. Good selection of spirits and beers.
Great live music but it took a long time to get drinks and even longer for food
Amazing food, fabulous service, gorgeous patio
Great food, great drink selection, great atmosphere.. great value. Always a great time.
Absolutely amazing dining experience. The food was fantastic. Had the burrito and the mushroom/goat cheese flatbread. The chef asked how the food is and gave slight detail on the homemade sauces used in the burrito. That shows passion in the foods he serves. And the service from Pam was fantastic. She is very personable and it was a joy conversating with her. Will definitely return next time Im in Owen Sound
Love the atmosphere and live music was just what I needed. Beautiful patio with a country feel.
Great drinks , Great people , Great music!
Good music and good food
Great wee restaraunt and true pub vibes. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. A cozy spot to grab a bite or just hang. Amazing patio in the summer! Jam night & live music- top notch.
Wonderful staff and the best food. Try the shot menu, amazing
Great place to eat and drink
I love it at jazzmyns!! Everyone is so warm and inviting. Its a family that youre welcome to join. Personal and quality atmosphere. Recommend all the time.
Love it
Went to this place on a whim to curve some mass starvation. Was pleasantly surprised at how amazing the food was. Great environment as well. Will most definitely find my self here again!!
Great experience here, live music was professional and not too loud. Guinness is fresh and poured with care. Schnitzel sandwich was well prepared and reasonably priced.
Great food and beer
Love it!
Its for locals. Dont expect much from music.
Great food, great atmosphere and awesome music! Pam and her crew really know how to make you feel at home! One of my favourite places to visit.
Awsome service, great drinks and food. Service is top notch. Outdoor patio is welcoming, comfortable. Obviously this place is run with heart....
One of my favorite places to play!
The place to go when in Owen sound top notch
One of my favourite Owen Sound restaurants for dinner, or a glass of wine after the Roxy theatre. The food is fabulous & they also offer delicious gluten-free entrees & desserts! The staff is always attentive and knowledgeable. Pam, the proprietor is an absolute Delight!
Very friendly environment with live entertainment
This is one of Owen Sounds best! The staff are great! Pam is hands on,and incredibly detail oriented. The chef has been my favorite since I first met him and Scooter in the 90s ! Together they make an incredible team. I find the atmosphere is warm and friendly. You can find a nice quiet table to enjoy your own company and reflect, or make a party out of any occasion! You will enjoy this place!
Always a great place for an evening.
Always a fun place to go for fun, food, drinks, music and friendly banter.
Caring service, good company, happy employees, fun music! Thats what youll get when you go.
Great place. Great staff. Will be going back
Great food, live music, fun atmosphere.
Having a great time here.. good people good music good food!
Surprisingly good food and the server was appropriately animated and attentive
The food was absolutely amazing and the service was fun and personable. I would highly recommend
Overnight to Owen Sound on a motorcycle ride, asked a local where to get a good meal.....excellent service and food! The singer was great too! 70s brought back lots of memories.
We showed up late at night and still the service was good and friendly. Good bar food too.
Absolutely fantastic atmosphere and most amazing meal. Great people and awesome live music. Definitely will return :)
Fabulous Food. Great atmosphere. Live trio bands on weekends!
Awesome Vibes
Wonderful atmosphere. Service was excellent. Couldnt ask for better.
Amazing food/ atmosphere. Overall a great experience and no complaints.
Great little patio out back with live music! Cool atmosphere. I just wish they had some local craft beers on the menu.
Great place to eat great vibe!!
This is a fantastic venue, with a wonderful outdoor patio. The food is excellent and good value for money. There was live entertainment while I was there, and the staff were knowledgeable and friendly. I will go back to this restaurant, and bring more friends...
Very nice welcome and surroundings. Good choice of beers. Acceptable food!
Excellent food people and music LIVE
Just the right mix here. Casual atmosphere but fine dining vibe to the menu and a personal visit from the chef. Great people!
A great place to relax and unwind.
Phenomenal service and the food was delicious! I would highly recommend Jazzmyns to anyone. I really liked that the chef came out to make sure the food was good. I look forward to going back!
Nice place, good music.
Love popping into Jazzmynes everyone once in a while for live music and a drink. Pam is a great host and the atmosphere is awesome. Never a dull moment!
Great food
Excellent entertainment, good food & drink.
Amazing burger and the steak ad sides were awesome, I was pleasantly surprised at the bill after a couple of pints..
The food is correct (the burgers taste better) but bit pricey (for example the salad at 12 $ which is very basic.. Homemade desserts are good. But what we like the most was the nice and relaxed atmosphere. There was some music we liked.
Stopped by for a quick Greek salad and a glass of wine with a friend. The salad was great, friendly service and great atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Nice atmosphere
Always enjoyable!
This place was fantastic! Friendly, fun, and great drinks and food. Was sitting on back patio happily listening to the wonderful live music and owner came out and gave me a blanket since it was chilly. Would definitely come back!
The most unsuspectingly incredible food! Our server was one in a million, she ended up having her boy friend drive us to the Folk Festival! Small Town charm at its best!
Food was fabulous! Friendly service from Pam. My wife and I would highly recommend it.
Great food great staff!!
A busy night with only one waitress and the service and food were great
Food was slightly above Average pub fare. Great place to go for snacks and drinks after a show at The Roxy.
We are from the K/W area and stopped here for supper while travelling. The escargot were superb! I also had the perch and fries and it was very good. My daughter had a salad with a lovely pear dressing and we finished off with the house made carrot cake. I can say that this is the best restaurant meal I have gad for a very long time. Prices are reasonable and service was exceptional.
Delicious food!
The best place in Owen Sound .
We drove from our rental cottage near Wiarton for a good meal and we saw good ratings for Jazzmyns. It was one of the best meals out in a long time. Even though I just had wings they were very light, well cooked and a proper portion for a pound of wings. My wife had the mushroom stuffed chicken breast with rice, also very well cooked. You can tell they have a proper chef and care about their business.
Friendly bunch but the food was typical pub grub. The fresh trout was good though
Wonderful food and a quaint atmosphere gives this restaurant a unique feel. Late night entertainment brings in the afternoon dinner crowd and makes for a great place to meet friends or make new ones
Always great
Good value. The music was a bit loud though.
I had heard this place was pretty good, but our experience last night was far from that! We sat down, ordered our drinks and apps, fine. Ordered our food ... fine. We were the only other table in there until that point. Our apps came out - the garlic bread with cheese I dont think had any garlic, but was decent, the calamari was actually quite nice. Then it was the LONG wait for dinner. The table that came in after us was finishing their food when our dinner came out, and it didnt come out together even! 2 plates, then another and then a wait and then another. One had fries instead of the salad, but was easily fixed. No problem. My husbands Philly cheese steak was actually a slab of steak, open face style with thick melted cheese that had been left long enough that it was cold and rubbery. It was horrid and the last thing to come out of the kitchen. Our last drink wasnt delivered either. Obviously this place has gone down hill ... I was up half the night with a stomach ache and our friends werent feeling so hot etiher (and the philly didnt get eaten - so that says something!) I wouldnt recommend this restaurant.
Friday night, party of two. Good dinner, good indoors vibe, great service from the waitresses without breaking the bank. I liked the latkes!
Ive been here a few times and I have never been disappointed with anything. Quite the opposite. The food is great, the service is excellent and theres always a good crowd on hand to enjoy the nightly entertainment that features some really good local musicians and bands. If youre from out of town and dont know where to go and have some fun then I highly recommend you stop by and pay a visit to Pam and here staff. You wont be disappointed. A great spot for all ages.
