Parsons Brewing Company in Picton

Worst place i have ever been, google stated closing time at 6PM server was rushing us NEEDS TO LEARN. I would never never never visit this place. I will pray this place gets new staff who are willing to work!

Staff are very inviting and friendly. Always a great variety of tasty beers, and food is just as good. A farm/barn/country feel to the joint with outdoor & indoor seating both well laid-out. Definitely my favourite brewery in Picton. Also a shop for take-away beer & merch. Visited on

Great staff and Bartenders

Overall we had a great time at Parsons and the food was pretty good. But it was really annoying that they dont split bills for the large groups while including mandatory 18% tips. Considering that most people dont use cash anymore, it created unnecessary complications for our group. I hope they could change this policy to provide a better experience for the guests.

Amazing food and drinks

We ve been there many times but the place is going downhill The food is bad and the tap beer is ordinary Since the owner thinks that only him is working hard for his money I have to say something .We were in the area for vacation and I wasn t having a bad day.Only after. We eat there,and after that,we had stomach problems.Usually I like stout and I ordered Rum Brûlée from the tap and payed 11.50 CAD.Bad choice.No foam ,no rum flavour only a little bit of chocolate taste.In the last years I ve been to more than a hundred micro breweries and I will never comeback here.In Prince Edward s Peninsula you can find at least 10 breweries better than this.

No mater your tastes. They will have a beer or ale that youll like. Good eats too. Outdoor patio and indoor dining. Gazebo, firepit, outdoor BBQ. Place for the kids to run and play. Whats not to like?

Best meal Ive had in a while and appreciate Chris sassy replies to negative reviews.

Delicious beer and great food!

Everything about Parsons is fantastic. The food, the beer and the atmosphere!

Mousetrap Rye Pale Ale is outstanding if you like an amber, Pork Belly and the halumi is delicious. Great ambiance . Loved it. A bit pricy for a brewery.

Great beers, margaritas on tap, cool atmosphere and the smash burger was on another level

Amazing restaurant and brewery with lovely views and play area for the kids. I loved the vibe, and Ive been telling all my mates about this place. We didnt have to wait long for a table. We were sat outside, but it was a bit chilly that evening. Im not a beer person normally, but I very much liked the Westy Pale Ale and picked up a can for myself from the store and a selection for souvenir gifts. Food wise, full marks for the steak, which was barbecued over coals and had a lovely aroma and flavour, the burnt butter potatoes stole a piece of my heart. Even the salad was refreshing and tasty. The chicken, on the other hand, was overly dry, to the point that the fork wouldnt go in it when we tried to stab it. We didnt make a fuss but did mention it to the staff at the end, and they took it off our bill without us even asking, which was nice of them.

Enjoyed every minute. From the drinks to the beef and potatoes. Great place for familys and or a afterwork get together.

Food Beer Décors, outside kids game Were really 10/10 The service was slow and not very present. 4.5*

Love this place! I came 2 yrs ago while visiting PEC and couldnt wait go come back. Good food, good beer/drinks, good vibes.

This place is the gold standard of food, service and atmosphere. The people here make this place sing. I m just in awe. Book a wedding here, buy everything, drink crushable s, buy more to take home

Great beer, food and friendly staff!

Loved this place! The place is spacious and tastefully decorated, the staff is very friendly, and the prices are reasonable. I will definitely visit this place again when I come back to Sandbanks

excellent food and beer all around. Exceptional burger and chips w guac.

Perfect for families with children. They have a play area for kids. Live music and tasty lunch in an outdoor setting made our visit memorable.

I had very bad service! Lots of errors in the invoice and an invoice that is really, really too expensive for very small plates!!! It was good but I dont recommend it given the amateur service and the almost empty plates!!!

Its good but not 70$ for 12 cans good.

It s a beautiful place to go with the family but I don t really understand why they charge 18% tip when the client has to go to the counter to pay for the food before they eat and the only service they receive is when the waitress brings the food. We don t get any service at all, they don t even explain us the menu or fill our glasses with water. When we got our plates the waitress just put the food on the table and left without asking us for who was each plate

Pilsner is definitely crushable. Czech pilsner is traditionally tasting and nice. Cesar salad was amazing. I would try the rest if I had more time. Next time!

It was for supper. They assigned us a table in full sun. The dishes are delicious but too small quantity and high prices. He asked us to serve the water ourselves. I didnt like my experience. I dont recommend.

Delicious! It s truly a place to discover! The food is excellent. We had several dishes to share and we did not regret our dinner stop! Impeccable service and simply magnificent place. We even attended a live music show. I highly recommend if youre passing through Picton!

When you pass by, the place seems very beautiful and pleasant to stop there. Its the case. We reserved a table for dinner and upon arrival. The staff is very friendly. Greeted us and offered us delicious food. The place is very big. Most tables are outside. It is pleasant to eat there. The dishes are set to share. We order several dishes which we share with our friends. Each dish is more delicious than the last. The flavors are just right, they are good and pleasant. The cooking is excellent. Everything is there! The composition of the plans is researched. Some come with a little sauce, decorative flowers or personalized elements that make the dish an experience in itself.

Very disappointed with the new menus. This place has been a tradition for several years. The food is very good but the portions are really miniature unlike previous times. It was our last time. I do not recommend this restaurant.

Super !!!!! 5

Delicious food, great beer and excellent service

Loved our meal! Very interesting menu. We were 6 dining and all ordered something different. Every dish was awesome. I would highly recommend. Were in PEC every year and we will definitely return to Parsons.

Wow wow wow! Omg Anna was a blast! Had a great time at the brewery and Anna made the experience 10 times better. Great place with great people, would recommend!

Very nice microbrewery. Lots of different beer choices. The lunch menu is simple and the portions are small, but the evening menu seems well developed. There are several outdoor activities for children so that they can have fun while enjoying a good beer.

good vibes & brews.

Lovely food and beer! The ice cream was amazing.

Don t get any food, it s over priced and extremely tiny portions. Ordered some chips and dip and got enough dip for 3 chips. The chips are also store bought tiny kettle chip bags and were crushed up into crumbs. When I asked for some new chips as we couldn t use the crumbs to dip, they said they were going to charge me an extra $3. I know you re a brewery and all so I d stick with that.

I live in France and I heard about this place from my friends so while passing through Toronto I didnt hesitate for a minute to drive to get there and in fact I wasnt disappointed at all! !!!its more than a restaurant its a real experience, they have their own beers which are excellent which doesnt surprise me given the journey of the owner who traveled around the world to achieve a quality of Same beer! But the food is also a real treat and worth the price, we tried several dishes and it was faultless, Samantha who is from what I understand the owner did not hesitate to guide us in our choice and also helped us with valuable advice on our visit to the region! A live concert was given by an artist that day, between the music, the landscape and the atmosphere and the magnificent sunset in this heavenly place, it really was a dream come true! I really recommend this place to everyone!

Hello, for me, the visit to Parsons Brewing was recommended by some friends, visiting Canada I took my family to discover the excellent food, the very efficient service and the unique beer!!!! Very nice place to enjoy with the family!!! 100% recommended

No food to choose from. Also ordered 2 beers in cans, assuming I can take one to go, they opened both of them for some reason, without asking.

didnt hit me. very beautiful place, cool vibe, but the employees dont do their job one hundred percent. the guy at the reception invited us to sit in the sun when the other tables were available . We were there for the first time and absolutely by chance decided to stop by to try craft beer. the waiter Hunter did not offer us anything special, no enthusiasm. didnt talk about the brewery. he didnt talk about interesting positions. did not offer any snacks to accompany the beer. Im not sure that any of the waiters did this. The menu has a tasting set that could be offered, we only saw it on another table, when we had already received our order. service failed. Beer is good !

Always amazing!

Great beer! Great food! Great environment! Staff was very friendly, live music and the patio was beautiful. Visited on Weekend

Excellent food. Good beer, wonderful staff

Love the Stouts

Food and beer was excellent. Very family friendly with a big playground area and games! But it did get very busy on a Saturday, and there was a little bit of confusion with the service. Everything was sorted out. Overall, everything was great and I would definitely go back!

I love this place! First time we went there was 2 yrs ago and I knew I had to come back. We are aloud to bring our dog outside which is cool. We havent tried the food other than their guacamole/chips that are really good. Would go back for sure.

If you are looking for an over priced and tiny size meal then look no further. No ambiance and closed at 8pm on a Saturday. Headed to McDonalds after to actually eat.

Good Beer, not busy when we went, staff were friendly and great atmosphere. The only slightly annoying thing, music kept changing, never seemed to get all the way through a song or I would have given 5 stars ;)

An absolute gem in Prince Edward County with a multitude of delicious brews on tap. The rustic Barn provides a phenomenal backdrop for a incredible experience. There is food to be had too - my wife swears by the mushroom empanadas. Youre no more than 5 minutes from the delightful ships of PEC, and those are a must do if youre at Parsons. Easily 5 out of 5. My only wish was they had the grey hoodie in my size, but I cant deduct points for that. Besides, in lieu of merch you can grab cans/bottles/growlers to go.

Excellent beer and the food was out of the world(legit finger kicking good )

Such a lovely place! If you pass nearby, you absolutely have to stop Im on my way to Toronto and I have been recommended this place from a friend in Gatineau. Very nice service from Mitchel, the smell is amazing inside, beautiful variety of of beers, great food and cute merch Its worth the little detour!

Fantastic local brewery. While this place might not be on your direct route it is definitely worth a detour to try the various craft beers on tap. The place is located in a barn which and made up beautifully with wooden furniture creating a cosy atmosphere to enjoy the beers and some food. The IPAs and the Pilsener were absolutely tasty

The brewery is beautiful! It has a super large property. Outside you can find the hops in plain sight! And the beer is delicious!

Ive never been there but in future i would love to be there for some brew

Just kind of stumbled upon the place looking for a spot to view the eclipse. But WOW are we glad we found it. The locale MADE the experience for us. Great place. Great vibes. Great beer. And great merch! We had loads of fun and wish we could come again if only it wasn t 4000km from home.

Stopped for lunch at Parson s recently looking for a good beer and tasty bites. I was not disappointed. It was Tuesday in the County and lunch is not an option to take for granted with a number of restaurants making that a regular day off. Parson s has an amazing beer selection and they are participating in Countylicious 2024. I chose the Edamame Hummus and the Smash Burger with the Farmer s Tan Harvest Ale. Best beer in a long time and matched my menu options perfectly. I will say I was looking for lighter menu options to just enjoy the beer, but they were only doing one fixed menu. However, they did a great job on the menu items which were very nicely done. I highly recommend the lunch menu and the beer!

We had a wonderful menu for $50 per person. Very nice waiter, fast service. Absolutely recommended!

Very nice brewery, good selection beer, duper friendly staff. One small complaint, albeit not brought up at the time, is that birria nachos protein should be warm, not cold; It was delcious, but just the same. Super cool property, would be super awesome to see during the summer.

Parsons Farm Brewery offers a unique and refreshing experience for those looking to enjoy a cozy atmosphere away from the typical sports bar scene. While it may lack TVs for hockey viewing, the presence of an ice rink provides an exciting alternative allowing patrons to actively engage in the sport with friends. The brewerys commitment to fostering social interaction and outdoor enjoyment makes it a standout destination for both beer enthusiasts and sports lovers alike.

Rented the ice for my son s 14th birthday party. They were amazing to work with. Food and hot chocolate for the kids and beer for the adults. Thank you so much!!!

Great food. Great service. Great ambiance. Excellent selection of beers. Cool merch. Bring your skates in winter.

Great Brunch experience this past Sunday. We usually go here during the summer months. But my son suggested to visit for brunch. The Eggs Benny and the Full English plate were fantastic - not to forget the nicely chilled beer. We will definitely come back with friends. And very friendly entertaining service.

Have been there before to enjoy some beer and skating. We saw that they were having a full moon party so decided to check it out. What a great night! Staff was amazing, music was great, and beer was outstanding. Love this place.

Great experience at the Empanada event Feb 3rd. Really enjoyed the hands-on experience of learning how to make them! Stayed to try the Argentinian pop-up food. Very tasty and great value. Beer was a great accompaniment too

I only found this because I saw a sign on the 401. Im very glad I took the exit. Great beer, great atmosphere,and the staff were attentive without being overbearing. I only wish that the delicious tourtiere I had would have been just a bit bigger.

A new resident of PEC - we always take our guests here. The atmosphere is always welcoming, friendly and joyful, as is the food! We took visiting family for Sunday Brunch this weekend, and it was a knock out of the park! Our favourite Parsons beer is the dry hopped lager - Soft Hues. Looking forward to visiting again soon and enjoying the patio with friends and family.

This brewery has quickly become our favourite. The beer and food are absolutely delicious. The service is unmatched. Ford went above and beyond to make our visit memorable and we will certainly come back. Highly recommend visiting if you enjoy dynamic beer, tasty food, and impeccable service, not to mention a beautiful venue.

Great food

Amazing food!!

Great beer and food ... and service! Firstly, Ford (our waiter/server/food &beer guide) was exceptional ! Secondly, the food was incrediblytasty. As for beer, there is something amazing for every beer aficionado. Typically, I like hefe occasionally, yet here i had the best hefe Ive ever had before. So much so I left with some. Also, the atmosphere is a relaxing country ambiance. Look forward to future visits.

Beer is amazing, staff is so warm and friendly, great atmosphere aaaand.... THE FOOD IS OUTSTANDING!!! Im going out on a limb here but Id say it has THE BEST smash burger in the county 100%.

Good food. Good beers. Good vibes

Great brewery, with a lot of IPA, sour, lambic-styles, and stouts!! They also had wine and cider options, soda, and a small food menu. There is definitely something for everyone. There was a lot of mostly outdoor seating, half of which is covered and had some space heaters which were very needed in the cool, rainy weather. Service was very warm and friendly, and they even provided recommendations for other local breweries based on our specific beer tastes, as well as food and other activities. It would be an even better spot when the weather is good!

Great atmosphere, wonderful staff, and good craft beer. Ford came over to check in with us, and he was great. Bathrooms were super clean. I would highly recommend stopping here if you are in the area. I am looking forward to going back in the future and trying some of the delicious looking food.

Amazing burgers, beers and outdoor space!!! Definitely the best spot and very close to town

How disappointing. 2nd visit in two weeks. Visit # 1, closed for a private event, even though website said they were open. Visit # 2. Apparently you cant be trusted if you sit outside. You have to scan a qr code to get the menu, then go to a satellite bar to order, if there is someone there & they expect you to prepay for food & drink before you even get it. What is this a fast food restaurant. Their menu certainly isnt as good or extensive as it used to be. Dont waste your time or money

Food and service was great and fresh- thought the potatoes served with the burger was a weird pairing but they were quite tasty. The Yuzu beer was also quite nice. Grabbed a few to take home

Writing thus review the day after because their smash burger is still on their mind. Hands down one of the best spots in Pincton.

Nice craft beers, food was tasty. Nice set up for ordering and fast service. Visited on Weekend

Great beer and food plus a fun outdoor area with games. Reservations for summer are a good idea.

The smash burger was great. The Coffee Stout and Yuzu beers were the favourites of the others. Check them out!

If you are in the Sandbanks area, this is a must visit especially if you like beer. The brewery was nice enough to let us have our dog sit with us outside. The food was great and the beer is excellent. We will be back again!

Great beer, amazing smash burger, fun atmosphere with a lot of space.

One of my favourite breweries in the area. Big fan of all their stouts and sours. Food was delicious and presented very well. Theres a smaller patio space along with a huge open field with covered picnic tables. Good spot to bring the dog, and I think theres a good sized play area for kids. It got very busy both times we were there so if you plan on coming at a peak time its probably best to call ahead.

Grilled dinner was great and so were the drinks. Friendly and well informed staffed. Loved the beer choices. Definitely will return

Went several times last year and it was awesome. Went today and won t be going back anytime soon! Menu has changed and my hubby s and father s meals, empanadas (3 small ones) was absolutely tasteless and my Caesar (with corn) tasted like the dressing was pure vinegar! 4th person said his mushroom dish was ok but nothing special. $160 for 4 people, one drink each, was definitely not worth it!!!

Beer is okay Place is great Outdoors is amazing

Empanadas were great!

Very unique place. The atmosphere is so classy and relaxed. Not a large menu but the food is excellent. Haven t had a bad meal yet. I love that they are expanding and want to check out the ice rink in the winter.

Worth the detour Beautiful site, nice and modern building And of course fresh and tastefull local food with a large choice of craft beers

Usually love this place. Showed up for a reservation on time only to be told there was no more room inside. As the weather was cold and rainy, an outside table was not ideal. A big waste of time with my out of town guests.

Great atmosphere! Pricey-ish food (but its now standard these days - $25 for a burger) but it was very tasty! Creatively done and well balanced portions. Visual appeal to the plates! And, we asked to be out in 30 minutes and we were out in 29! And the servers serve your dogs water on tap, too :) Good menu options (locally grown and processed meat in the menu, too) All around, we were impressed!

Better to make a reservation. Pretty popular spot (you ll get why when you get there)! If it s available, I suggest you take the Village Salad !

Excellent beer but very expensive food.

Amazing green space and a little playground and tracker for the kids to play on. Has a seperate store to purchase and drink on property while waiting for a table. And great food to top it off. Amazing food! They have definitely expanded their food menu and its all delicious.

The place to stop for dinner when traveling to Sandbank. Vaste variety of beers, white, brown, black, blonde, ipa, seasonal special, etc. There is a bottle store so then a very practical place where to buy drinks outside lcbo hours!!! The place have also a large playground so the kids can play while you can go thru a taster glass row!! The over the fire cooking is, for anyone loving it, so tastely-delicious!! Even the fire-grilled vegetables are simply amazing!

Delicious lunch, good beer, excellent service. Glad we made a reservation. Would recommend.

It was my first visit and really enjoyed the vibes, drinks and food!

Fantastic place for a family to hang out. Lots of outdoor games for kids or adults, great food, vegan/vegetarian/gluten free/dairy free options. And of course good beer! Would definitely visit here again. Staff was also super friendly and very welcoming.

Beautiful property for a brewery with a spacious patio. Beer was very good and lunch was delicious (must try the beef empanadas). Took a few bottles home as well. If coming from Picton, watch for your exit we didn t see the main entrance / sign until we had already gone passed it.

We love this place and visit every time we are in PEC. The place is great, easy with kids, the food is amazing and the service always nice. It s a must seen when visiting price Edward county.

Splendid site. Decent beer. Unfortunately the value for money for the food is not there. $8 for a plain hotdog with NOTHING else on the plate (kids menu), seriously?

Superb site, decent beer, very good meat quality, limited dinner menu, mediocre or non-existent side vegetables, decent service, quality/quantity/price ratio, too expensive for what we got.

Nice setup, great waiter, good food!

Beautiful place near picton that you need to stop by, beautiful location and great friendly service and very good food and unique and hand crafted beer.

To be honest when I looked at the menu I didnt think I would love the food but we ordered a a lot of the menu options to share as a group and there was nothing I didnt like. The rustic food has sooo much flavor. I particularly loved the potatoes and the pretzel. The drinks were great too. The service was a little slower and laid back.

Very nice place

As an Argentinian their asado is a joke and super overpriced for 5 slices of meat.. which btw was tough to eat. Also it was served with one green onion!! Really? I mean a roasted tomato a pepper anything would have made this experience much much better.. Parsons is trying to hard to be upscaled .. very disappointed trip specially after going there for 4/5 Years.. this is definitely the last time..

Excellent beer, great food, beautiful place!!! Live music and a gorgeous vibe! A must visit when in PEC!

Lovely brewery with fantastic food and a nice variety of beers to sample. Their hot sauce is tasty and we bought some for home as well. Excellent service and beautiful grounds. Lots of space for kids to run around and play while adults do their tasting!

Where to begin: cool hangout, great for kids, amazing service, extensive beer list & even better food - this place is a must!

Amazing food and brews. The grounds are beautiful and very fun with kids. The food is amazing especially all the grilled seasonal vegetables and mouth melting meat with chimichurri sauce.

Truly excellent meal, beef au jus with a side of superb grilled vegetables, plus the beer made on site is exceptional.

Very much enjoyed dinner. Every dish was great. The beers were all consistently good as well.

Kind of cool to see how much this place has evolved since it opened Food is delicious! Another local spot that is a family go-to. Beer isnt my absolute favorite but there is definitely something for everyone

Beautiful patio and such and a friendly and welcoming staff. Beer was delicious! Has a pretzel as a snack and it paired perfectly with the beer. Thank you!

The food was creative and yummy the service was great, and the location was awesome. But its hard to give them five because the beer was absolutely awful. I just cant believe they didnt make one beer that was not hoppy. I guess for the IPA lovers this might be the place for you. For the ones that like anything else whether a crisp lager, refreshing blonde or a strong Belgium, this place doesnt know how to make it and it is a brewery. Edit: I did think that the people in parson are nice, and then I received an obnoxious passive aggressive responses from the owner, and I have noticed he has been doing this for anyone that is giving him a bad review. so I changed it to 3 and happy to respond to his annoying message. I have bought one pint and then an entire flight of beers. Thats five my friend, not 2 like you claim. And even the lightest beer was completely hoppy. I have never seen a brewery that their lightest fruity beer is still hoppy, who does that? Beside some of those so called master brewers that thinks that the Natural taste of beer is what has been historically used to prevent it from spoiling. This is one of the first times that I couldnt finish any of my beers. And considering that you call yourself a brewery, I dont want to drink ciders and wines. I was in wine county, but clearly I came to a brewery which means I came for beers on tap. I love beers, Im passionate about beers, and yours were not very good, sorry man. You should really get off your high horses. I would have given Parsons another shot, because I thought it just a good chill place, but clearly the owner cant handle feedback. Best of luck. Edit 2 Defend your Staff and experience? Nah. You are there to defend your ego and Insecurities. Most of your staff probably smacking their forehead, thinking, Here we go, my boss is at it again, but we cant tell him the same way that they cant tell you that your beer is awful. Your nonsensical passive-aggressive apology does deserve another star reduced, but I simply feel bad for your wife, who probably cant tell you that your beers and attitude are actually hurting the business while her cooking is the reason why Thousands of people come to your Door. I know that it is tough to receive criticism from someone who actually understands beer, but you can keep your delusional narcissism and passive-aggressive apologies for yourself.

We really like this place, the character and charm of the building is unique. Our servers are nothing but kind and welcoming. We enjoyed some delicious snacks and a flight of course! This place is clean and inviting, I recommend this be a stop on your travels !!

This restaurant is a disappointment. The menu online looked amazing in the reviews and on Google, I get there and they only have a hand full of pizzas. The pizzas are glorified focaccia with a drizzle of toppings. Spend your money somewhere else.

What a great place. We were there a weekday for lunch. The property is wonderful and they have set up lots of great activities for guests to enjoy. I am not a beer drinker but my husband said the beer was excellent and we both had a great meal. It s very casual yet pretty with wild flowers on all the tables. The staff were busy but friendly and efficient. If we are in the area again we will definitely be back. Highly recommend.

Heard the beer is not bad there, decided to go there. Was seated but no service until we decided to leave after long wait. Really disappointed with the service, completely ignored today.

Tried their feature flight and custom flight. All 8 drinks were very good. Nick served us and the service was amazing. Wait time

Incredible burger, and excellent Caesar and empanada. Great atmosphere and service and the beer was perfect! Would go back.

I spend way too much money here but its because the beer is incredible. Great spot and the staff are top notch. Owner is a super guy as well. Dont miss this if you are in the area.

Visiting Picton and enjoying Countylicious. Parsons Brewing Company did not disappoint. Everything was delicious. Service was excellent. Atmosphere warm & friendly. Looking forward to visiting again.

Went in July 2023!! Yum Yum. Simply delicious and perfect service. And this even if I am not perfectly bilingual!!!

Love their choice of beer, good food, must try their meat plate.

A unique spot for a leisurely summer afternoon! Great tasting beers and food.

Picturesque and modern site. Beers are good, what do you need more? Waiter was a bit in a hurry, maybe slow the pace a bit so we can discover the beers better.

We visited Parsons Brewing in Spring, and it was nothing but a pleasant experience. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. It is a dog-friendly spot, so that makes it even better. Although Im not a beer person, I enjoyed trying their samples very much.

Cool place, the vibe is chill, staff is friendly and very responsive. The food is amazing as well as the view. I totally recommend this place!

The place is very beautiful, spacious and clean.Beers were great. The burger was okay but there was very little salad on the side, nothing like the pictures some other customers posted here. I m not sure if there was some struggles at the kitchen that day but just leaving a note. The service was rushed; a server (not ours) asked us to take the plate even though we haven t finished the small salad on the side of the burger. Perhaps the salad portion was so small that the server thought we were done. The scampi plate was cold by the time arrived at our table and there was nothing else but scampi. $21 for just a dozen of scampi felt overpriced. Lesson learned; ask for details before placing an order. It was our mistake not to do so, we assumed fries (or decent portion of salad) would come with the burger, and scampi with some salad or something.

Best Brewery in Canada by a Country Mile Amazing range of craft beers, delicious food and summer evening concerts make Parsons Brewery an unmissable stop when visiting Prince Edward County.

Beautiful brewery. Great location and very kid and dog friendly. Went with my daughter for some cider and beer. 5 stars for location, service and the beer and cider were great. Server was very friendly and helpful. Would have given it a 5 star but the food was very over priced. I read a lot of reviews where the owner stated that their prices are fair and reflective of our costs. As a restaurant owner in the Niagara on the lake area, the prices are definitely not reflective of their costs. $21.00 for a smash burger that was quite small and served with 3 chunks of mini tomato, 2 small pieces of cucumber and a couple of pieces of sweet pepper. The server stated it came with a small salad. This wasnt even a salad. The cost of the ground beef and bun is so low for this smash burger so the cost of $21.00 for this meal is really overpriced. Writing this review as some people may want to eat first before they come here and just sample the cider and beer. If you are in the Northern Barrie region, stop off at Quayles brewery. Same wonderful vibe with outdoor seating and very friendly servers. Smash burger is very large, very tasty and comes with fries for $17.00. This matches price point for sure.

Excellent venue, food, beer was great and the server was top notch! Couldnt ask for more

Excellent beer, The meat platter was also really good. The atmosphere is also very good

Nice atmosphere- staff friendly - was quite disappointed in the food - lunch options very limited - quite expensive for the amount of food you got - actually left there a little hungry - would not return

Friendly staff. Great beer. Yummy food ! Great spot for kids too with a little jungle gym, table tennis and teather ball. Would recommend the carne platter

Fairly new to area and taking a drive about. Saw lots of activity on the grounds so thought to drop in. So glad we did. They are dog friendly, had excellent service from front desk to our waitress Ava, a definate plus to our experience. Food was awesome, music and atmosphere a 10+. We will be back!

Great energy, super polite staff, tasty food, yummy desserts and beer were on point. We are coming back next summer for sure

We had a lovely lunch! Thank you

Service was great, beer was delicious, food arrived quickly and was tasty. The tres leches cake was a real treat.

This was our 3rd visit - 1st time was great, 2nd time was so-so and today (likely our last visit) was very disappointing. Service was non-existent - after taking our order, we never saw our server again. No one checked on us, or asked us how we were doing and we had to hunt down a server to get our bill. Meals were equally disappointing - we ordered 2 smash burgers which were bland and like others said, came with an odd side salad (really, cut up veggies). I ordered a chicken caesar salad which had way too much dressing on it with a piece of chicken that was bland and felt like it had been cooked earlier in the day - very, very dry. We were excited to try the rolled ice cream for dessert but were told we had to go and order it separately? Off we go to find out its cash only? Why have something on your menu and make guests pay separately? And cash-only? Was disappointing for our son who was really looking forward to it. Dont think well be back - yes, the location is lovely and the beer is tasty but for the price we paid? Well try another local restaurant next time were in the County.

Excellent brewery. I particularly enjoy the Rye Pale Ale. Great menu and family friendly atmosphere.

We were enjoying a few pints after being dropped off and when we ordered a last pint was told that the bar had closed, the waitress was unaware also I feel a bit more nfo to your customers would be a good idea, we are now sitting by the sign out front as our ride is an hour away, otherwise our waitress was very good

Great brewery, wonderful patio set up

On a warm summer early evening, with the sun setting, its hard to find a better place to taste great beer, grilled meat and vegetables. The kids are happy to leave the table and play in the field. Very friendly staff.

Great place, kid and dog friendly, with an authentic and delicious Latino food menu, and fine beers.

Delicious

Good food, good beer in a pet friendly environment. Designed to entertain children also during the tasting. A must-see place in the area.

Amazing place for kids and dogs. Great food

The place wasnt bad. But we were sitting on a picnic table in the sun. Again, it doesnt matter. But small hamburgers with no fries and 4 pieces of tomatoes at $21+tax+tips are a bit exaggerated. In short, we left with the impression of having been had

Amazing food. Good beer. Fun lawn games for kids. Good outdoor dining for nice summer days.

Great food, great service. I ordered beer flight and Patas Baravas bothe were awesome

Nice place !!

Great service for that type of place. Wonderful patio.

Very very nice food. Loved their Argentinian specialty. Lots of sitting rooms, original elements of nature are part of the decor, just like in Argentina (cow country)! very good service. My friends had excellent stout, I had great cider and they sell their product. Beautiful roomy place to eat well. Lots of parking spots.Congratulations!

Stumbled upon this brewery on a drive through PEC, very happy we did. Beer was great, food was very tasty and everything tasted fresh: smash burger and chips and guacamole for the win! Service was top notch and the patio was an awesome place to spend a raining afternoon

The layout is absolutely impeccable, perfect for the whole family. Several games are provided for children. There are enough tables for everyone. Our server was particularly funny and friendly! The food was quite decent and the beer was very good!

Nice setting. We were having a good time. Ate all our meal but only half our guacamole and chips. Asked for a box and another spoonful of salsa to go. Sorry, chef says no more salsa. Really!!! After spending $70, I thought we were good for a spoonfull of salsa. Apparently not. Talk about pouring cold water on the experience. Place is nice. Staff is nice. Chef is a jerk. You dont really matter. Have fun but dont expect any favours.

Great atmosphere to chill and have some drinks. Great to have a game of horseshoes while enjoying the local brewery.

We have thoroughly enjoyed both our visits to Parsons Brewing! The food is exceptional, the outdoor wood-burning kitchen creates a nice vibe, and the kids playground right next to the outdoor seating makes it a perfect family venue. One star off for the changing table in the bathroom being absolutely disgusting, but that should be an easy fix.

Great brewery ! Staff was kind and helpful. Beers were good and refreshing on a sunny day. The outdoor patio is big but the service still felt intimate. Good ambiance with live music in the afternoon last Saturday.

Excellent beer selection. Great quality and complex beers. The Father was particularly good! On the food side, quality was good, but plates are relatively small for the price. E.g. we ordered the tiger prawns and for 21$, you get 6 prawns, with a lemon slice. Nothing else. A side of salad or fries would have been nice with those.

We always have a good time when we come to Parsons. We love the yuzu beer would recommend!

This place is worth the detour! The beer is very good

This place is much more concerned with looking hip, and acting as if they care than actually putting good food and beer out. The beer is not bad, but it s nothing to write home about. The food was ok, but when the table next to ours complained that the chicken was off, the wait staff just stood around comforting each other instead of doing something about it. Save your money for another micro-brew.

I had two types of beer, each with its own unique flavor, and the food was also very good. If I have the chance next time, I will definitely come with my family.

We came with a group of 30. Very friendly staff and they got more choices of beer then any other place Ive been. Overall, we had a great time and we really enjoyed it. Full 5 star

An absolute must.....fantastic beer...fantastic food...and wonderful staff and owners.

First timers and we will be back. Recommended by a friend and we will do same. Great vibe, services was brilliant and the food and drinks were excellent. Highly recommended!

Unlike other craft breweries in PEC (actually, the rest of the Province), Parsons is a pretty big operation. We were passing through during one of their Oktoberfest events and it was packed! Just grabbed some beverages to-go but felt a bit rushed...couldve been due to how busy they were, but still. All-in-all, its worth checking out and the beer Ive had so far was very good indeed!

Came here on a recommendation from a friend, and it did not disappoint! We both had the smashburger which was absolutely delicious, and paired with a great little side tomato salad which had a great level of acidity to cut through the richness of the burger. Beer of course was excellent and the staff was all very friendly and helpful. Will definitely visit again!

The food was really good and so was the beer! We got to speak with Chris and Ford and they were both great guys and so were the rest of the employees we ran into. We have to go back and enjoy the ice rink in the winter, looks amazing with the lights strung over it. Looks like they have fun all year round here.

Great beer, great food, great people!!

I wish I had more pics of all the food here. My wife got a chicken salad and I got the burger. I think it said smash burger on the menu, but I dont think it was smashed that well. It was still tasty but it didnt have that nice crispy crust you get when you smash it down. The chicken salad she had was nice. There are a lot of artisanal goods here, and I felt it was too early, especially a long drive ahead to grab a beer here. But it is a very large space, I can see in the summer being very communal and just a big party like spot. Very large, beautiful property, lots of activities for kids and adults alike, small selection of seasonal items food wise, and a plethora of beverages. We had some Argentinian cookies, and those were amazing, very different from what you expect from the traditional cookie. Solid spot to check out when we are back!

amazing food, great beers and even better prices. its very beautiful inside. the service was also very good. highly recommend Parsons

Great artisanal beer! Parsons offers seasonal, traditional and premium beers. Barrel aged collection makes a wonderful gift for a beer-lover and local Friday deliveries are very convenient. Finally, and very important to me - Parsons provided outstanding customer service.

A place you have to eat at and the beer on awesome
