I have been a couple of times and was not impressed. I decided to give it a go one more time and I can say I was totally impressed. My co-worker and I came in for lunch and we were the first lunch orders of the day. The cook came out and asked if we would mind if he could be a little creative with our meals. I ordered the fish and chips and he brought out a fish sandwich made with focaccia bread. It was to die for. My coworkers burgers has also amazing and juicy. Not dry at all. Will be back again!!

I have been going to the Steele and Clover Public House for over 1 yr. The lady that works behind the bar is Debbie. She is extremely courteous to me .She is extremely polite. I always have steak on a bun which is the best I have ever had. Debbie is very customer service focused and a great asset to the business. I look forward to going there soon.

Be-aware this was our first experience. I know sometimes you can catch places on bad days but truthfully I was shocked at our experience. We walked into the dining area to be the only table on the none bar side, the environment is nice very loud and noise, even the kitchens music was loud we could hear it from our seats. The bar side was packed but an adequate amount of servers covering both sides. Our server took our order for apps and our kids meal and brought back drinks and we ordered our meals. The app felt like it took forever between 30-40 minutes for pretzels, to the point of my drink being empty after slowly sipping them and to also note not offered a refill or checked on. We got the wrong order for our kids meal from ordering a grilled cheese to being served chicken nuggets it was quickly exchanged within 10 minutes. My son ordered a spaghetti which was very chunky tomatoes, we all know kids don't like chunky food luckily he's chill and pushed them to the side but I felt the pasta sauce was very bland no flavor or vegetables or anything just felt like tomatoes out of a can. Once we were served our food I thought my Shepherds pie tasted off and after two bites I was completely turned off I had felt as though some of the meat was still pink and not cooked fully. We also got a steak sandwich which wasn't that bad thankfully. The best part of the whole meal was the French fries. We were waiting for ever we had stacked our plates and where going to order the ice cream that our children get with their meals however our server was more occupied talking with her other server, my children had gotten impatient and decided they didn't want their dessert anymore and my husband had to go track down the server. The service was by far the worst I've had in a while, to seeing a $23 dollar meal have two bites taken out and being left behind to be thrown in the garbage... Unfortunately I just don't think we would be returning to this restaurant.

If I could give this pub no stars, I would. We're from out of town and was told this place was amazing. We walked in and it wasn't busy, but we were totally ignored. Sat down at a table, nobody came over. Waitress and bartender saw us but chose to ignore us. We had to ask for a menu. Menu was taken to the table, but still no words were spoken to us. We weren't asked if we wanted any drinks to start off, weren't told they'd be right with us, nothing. We sat there for a few more minutes. Waitress and bartender walked by our table numerous times and said nothing. I thought we were part of a prank, it was so obvious they did not want us there. I had to go to the bar to ask if we could order drinks. Waitress acted like she didn't want to have anything to do with us. We were so confused cause we were told it was a friendly place to hang out. We decided to leave at that point. Sad to say but we felt like an inconvenience.

Went for supper this evening with my family including my 6 year old nephew. Food was awesome and Pub is very inviting. Unfortunately I did not catch servers names but they were very friendly and attentive. As busy as they were they came to do quality checks and made sure our needs were met. Great place in our city.

Food was Oķ, but nothing to right home to mother about. We shared a jalapeño popper, which was very good, and we each got a fish n chip. The fries were good, but the fish was advertised to be 'beer' batter, which it was certainly not. Fish, I found kind of dry and nit flake. Service I found very slow and unattentive. The server played on her phone the entire time we were in there and did not pay attention to the clients. Appetizers were served. We had no plates until were we half way finished them. Yes, we used the only napkin that we were given to set the popper down on. The room was extremely hot and stuffy, with no A/C. The surroundings and the decore were actually very nice and relaxing. Also, to note that the online menu did not jive with the restaurant menu. Please take this review as constructive criticism as I think you are sitting on a gold mine.

Food was very good. We had the cheese and spinach dip, liver and onions, and steak sub. All good. Liver was a little over cooked for my liking but my fault for not saying how I wanted it. Service was a bit lacking. Had to ask twice for more soda and the empty plate from our app was left on the table even though 2 servers came to our table and the plate was at the edge of the table. Little thing I know but bothers me.

Went here yesterday for supper with a friend after a long day. The waitress was terrific! Fast & efficient. I had the chicken sandwich and although I must say it would be better with ranch instead of mayo, it was with a 9.5 out of 10 (the .5 missing being that I m just a ranch lover lol) but hands down the best chicken sandwich I ve ever had. Their soup was also delicious, it was potato bacon. My friend had the Mac & cheese which she also said was the best she s ever had. For a little hole in the wall bar/restaurant it s absolutely BEAUTIFUL inside with a nice Irish feel with super cute decor. We just moved to port in October and this may be our new favourite spot. I can t wait to try the rest of the menu! Thank you for making my experience as good as it was :)

Amazing food (they had chicken fingers and I had wings) and service. Will definitely be back. Totally recommend this place Parking: My Mom has a walker and it would be helpful for elderly to get in with easier access especially since its close to a nursing home.Only downfall.

Well Im not sure if its me who is cheap or not with the sign of the times/prices. 2 fish dinners ( mind you it was haddock and not cod) half decent size. Fries included. 2 pops. $50.00. Waitress was good. The overall experience left me unsatisfied. Cannot pin point why besides the prices for the value I guess If I could give it an extra half point. I would do 3.5 as opposed to a 3

This was my 1st time at Steele and Clover. I had the chicken wings to start. They were delicious! Medium, saucy with a bit of a kick. My entrée was their fish and chips: The best Ive had in years! The batter was thin and crisp, the haddock cooked perfectly, firm and flavourful. My meal was followed by the Baileys Irish Cream Cheesecake which was absolutely scrumptious! Light and creamy with a oreo crust that was to die for! The restaurant is clean and comfortable with beautiful lighting, large screens for sports entertainment and a perfectly chosen radio playlist. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. A great little escape from the old Port Colborne fare and well worth the trip to Port if youre from out of town. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Steele and Clover Public House and cant wait to return!

Went for dinner on a Monday night, wasn t too busy. The three of us ordered; a cheeseburger, the chicken fingers and bangers and mash. The portions are big, the prices are reasonable. The burger and chicken fingers were good, the fries meh. The bangers and mash was terrible. Bangers are a specific kind of British sausage made with fillers and have a unique flavour, these were just pork sausages. Sausages that had been cooked previously, as had the red potatoes that were then warmed up (microwaved?) then just smashed with a fork. Neither the sausages or the potatoes were hot, and the vegetable melody on the side had char marks which made them taste burnt. Not sure about going back.

I ordered liver and onions... which tasted pretty good... but I was disappointed with the portion size... the liver was sliced very thin... 2 small pieces... and a small scoop of both potatoes and boiled veggies... luckily my son couldnt finish his poutine... so I didnt leave hungry... lol... I will go here again... but Ill try the Fish n Chips which comes highly recommended...

Super excited to have a new neighbour in the plaza! Geoff and his staff have worked hard to get this place up and running! With covid and other unforeseen delays, its been 2 years in the making and we are happy that they have finally opened this week! So far we have ordered their Beef & Barley Soup and the Chicken Fingers with Dusted Fries. Helder and the staff were awesome, very kind and working hard! Im sure they will see many bumps along the way with their first week being open, juggling the new menu and ironing out all the kinks that come with a new business, but with a little patience from the patrons, I have great expectations that this place is going to be a fantastic addition to Port Colborne!

This is an excellent pub and a welcome addition to Port Colborne. It has the best selection of Irish Whiskey that I have ever seen in one place and a decent tap selection as well (including Kilkenny, Guinness, Harp, Alexander Keiths, Stella, etc.) The food is excellent -- especially the chicken and the Baileys cheesecake. As a man who spent most of his adult life on the East Coast, I also appreciate the pubs East Coast vibe and music. Im sure Ill be back many a time.

The ambience is great, and great place if you just want to have a couple beer. But, the food is overpriced for the portion sizes, and really not that good. For example, the burger is just a pressed patty (not homemade) and fries were soggy for $16+ tax. Staff was hit or miss as far as attentiveness, but were friendly both times we were there. Will probably try again in a few months, hopefully the growing pains will be over by then.
