42 Princess St, Saint John, NB E2L 1K2, Canada
Britt’s is an English-style Pub. The name was inspired by Saint John artist Miller Brittain whose art studio sat just two floors above the pub in the 1930s. Britt’s owners – Gary Spicer & Roy Scribner — opened Britt’s with a shared vision for a British pub, a place where friends can meet & enjoy quality food in a casual atmosphere. Roy brings many years of hospitality experience to the table. Gary ? Well, he is a born & bred Britt!
Chicken and waffles for brunch here is one of the best meals I've ever had. Would highly recommend!
I was here on Sunday for a brunch. The food was good. The wait time is varied depending on how busy they are. But if you are hungry, there is a menu online you can look up before hand. So, you can order the food early. The parking is tricky like other places in the area. However, it was free on Sunday for street parking.
Great cocktails, great service, relaxing atmosphere, yummy food (the fries are soo crispy and delicious)!
The food and atmosphere were great. Paula was our server and was awesome to deal with. Would absolutely recommend!
If you're looking for a different experience than a cruise ship breakfast, this is a good place to go. The food was good and the service was great. We didn't have enough time to try the beer menu but it looked like they had a good selection. Also, it's only a 5 minute walk from the ship terminal.
Came here while in town, the menu has some good options for everyone and the service was great ! I got the jamaican jerk chicken sandwhich with a side spinach salad. The salad was amazing with just the right amount of dressing. I wouldn’t label the chicken as jerk or jamaican tho, had no jamaican flavours at all. The sandwhich could also use more of the tropical salsa ! It was missing some of those tropical flavours and came across as more of a regular chicken sando. Was still good tho.
I really loved visiting Brits Pub and Eatery for the first time.. I heard lots of good reviews on social media. It was Burger Week 🍔 in Saint John. This was day 2 for me and loved the place..nice setting.. they were part of Burger Week.. and had tempting options.. I went with the Jailhouse Jam( or something like that) .I really enjoyed it..one part almost felt wrong to eat Peanut butter and jam and banana on a beef burger..but with the bacon and other toppings every bite was hmmmm ..wow..tasty..it was good and had great fun having it..the gravy was homemade Turkey gravy and delicious..the fries were crispy and awesome..I enjoyed a few before going for my first bite of Burger..great experience..already making plans to return with family.
I ordered the Spinach Salad. It was amazing and the staff was so nice. I love coming here ✨
We started coming here a few years ago when visiting Saint John and its become a regular spot for us. Really good food and an excellent tap list.
Staff are always friendly and they have a seasonal menu that keeps the flavors coming. #contestentry
Love Britt s! Food is always amazing and the service is even better! Our go to restaurant for a consistently great experience.
The crew there is super friendly and food is good.
Best eggs benny
Excellent food and service every time. Can be a bit loud and chaotic here depending on the time of day.
My go-to spot for a meal - never disappoints! The food is always amazing!!! #ContestEntry
Great Breakfast!
Dietary restrictions: Seafood allergy Food
incredible!! absolutely recommend
Always amazing service, great food, wife drinks selection!
Lots of choices for local beers ,great Cubano sandwiches,first time in st.john NB will stop in again.
Fish taco says served with guacamole, but must have been out today, otherwise tasty. Very crisp fries. Somewhat noisy to have had so few present.
Lobster roll was awesome. Great selection of local beer. Food
Paula was our server and great personality! We really enjoyed our food. I had the house burger. Yum!
Chase was a fantastic server. He was funny and very helpful!! Food was delicious! Thanks again Chase! Food
Was there for a meeting with a coworker. Had the potato nachos with a ruckus on tap. Very nice!
Very good jerk chicken sandwich.
Ive been here more times that I can count. It remains one of the most reliable eateries in Saint John offering fresh local food whenever possible, locally crafted beer, great service in a great environment. I often gravitate to the daily specials at this point as Ive had pretty much everything on the menu. Ive yet to be disappointed.
Yummy food, nice outside area
Delicious food and friendly service. The patio is really nice!
Great staff!!
Solid pub. Good tofu sandwich.
I ordered a avocado toast and the avocado was rotten. A bit disappointed but then they changed my plate and give me a new plate with rotten avocado again. At least Tye poutine was good.
We had tasty sandwiches and salads. Worth a visit but will likely try somewhere new next time in town.
Wow! The vegan burger was amazing. The description did not convey how good it would be! Crunchy but still moist and very filling! If I could have bought that tofu on its own, I would have bought enough to just eat that my entire time in NB. More impressive than their food was the service. My mom asked our server if she knew where we could buy dulse. Another staff member actually called a vendor at the city market to confirm they had them! That was way above and beyond!
The burger was so good that even a teenager gave it a 9 out of 10.
They have very tasty local burgers. Definitely with fresh ingredients prepared at their exact point. I really loved the detail of the fresh jalapeño and caramelized onion along with the bacon. a delicious culinary experience.
Wonderful pub in uptown Saint John. Great food and friendly staff.
Older building which was probably the reason we could not get rid of a fly circling around us; otherwise, everything was great!
A staple every time we visit SJ, whether it be brunch or supper :)
Food was really good and the server was fantastic!
Cool little spot, atmosphere is very contemporary and modern. Good food and cool staff. Parking: Good luck.
Average food, service not objectionable, ambience unremarkable. Selection of beers on draft. No significant I-have-to-go risk.
Its a little pricey. The food and service was good.
Always an awesome time at Britts - love everything about it!!
Location, food, decor were all fine!
Portion size was amazing and food tasted so good!!
The Chowder!!!
Spot on service! Friendly, prompt and attentive with great recommendations. Food was great and beer too. Lots of choices.
Great atmosphere. Our waitress was very nice and helpful.
What an amazing spot! Great food, you ll have to try the fish cakes they were absolutely amazing! Staff is super friendly and service is quick so make sure to add this to your list for Saint-John! Thanks for the wonderful meal Parking: There s a free parking lot right next to the place. It s only free on weekends though!
Good pub food. Service was good. My husband liked the beer options. We had a nice time.
We went to Britts for lunch. The service is excellent and so is the food.
Great lobster roll, fries are good but the kettle chips are next world. Cool back story behind the name and the building. One of the top places to eat here that I found
Great spot for some good food. They also have a great variety of beer and all the staff are friendly.
Always a great experience
Most fabulous beer. Great food. Wonderful service. Comfortable atmosphere.
Step right up, folks to the pub of perpetual pints! nestled in the heart of uptown, this place isn t just a pub; it s a beacon of hope for the thirsty souls wandering the streets!
Incredible experience. Staff were awesome, food was delicious. Would not hesitate to recommend them.
Seemed like a great place just make sure you have a reservation.
Loved the place. Go and enjoy.
Nice place with great pub food. To bad its not very big.
This place exceeded all my expectations even after every person I ve spoken to in the last month raves about Britt s! WOW the craft beer is off the charts. Best selection in the city and I ve been to all the top spots. I ordered the smokehouse burger and it was out of this world! Very well presented and the flavors were terrific. DEFINITELY PUT YHIS ESTABLISHMENT ON YOUR MUST VIST LIST!
Popped in for taco week. Good tacos, great beer selection, excellent nachos.
I enjoyed my & single malt whisky with chicken & taco served with in-house special dips.
Food was really good and the view from my table was really cool too. First time visiting Saint John. Id definitely go back.
It was below average bistro cooking. Fries tasteless. Poutine was good
Thanks to whoevet put this on the menu: a burger with peanut butter and tomato jam. And thanks to our server, Sarah.
Joe was an amazing bartender!! He gave us the best itinerary for St. John and made the best drinks!! Definitely try the haddock cakes and key lime coconut drink. 5 stars for Joe!
Great fries, tartar sauce, and service. Good beer selection
We had Christmas eve lunch here.. so good. Fish and chips were just like back home.
Always great food & service one of my tops for Saint John!
The Scallops and Risotto dish is so good!
Loved everything about our visit to Britts! Cant wait for our next visit.
Our meal was overpriced and our waiter forgot about us for the first 30 minutes before ordering. They had a decent happy hour drink special and the house white was actually pretty good.
The drink is great and very strong, just how I like it
Absolutely amazing food. I dont know whqt they do to their bacon, but oh man. 10/10. The burgers? Heavenly.
Great locally sourced food! Never been disappointed and enjoy the quality of food thank you
Absolutely amazing!! We got the smokehouse burger and the pickleback burger- was skeptical before they came but they both were fantastic!! The food & drinks were spectacular, and our waitress was amazing! I highly recommend going here for great service, a cool atmosphere, and even better food!!!
Britt s is the place to go! Seriously, this restaurant is top notch. The most delicious food with amazing service. The chef sure knows how to cook. Thank you to our friendly waitress Robyn for such great service. We will definitely be back next time we are in town. Thank you Britts!
I enjoyed the Smokehouse burger. The server was very prompt. Im dont usually visit uptown restaurants due to the sound system, very difficult to have a conversation. Although this visit was rather quieter.
The chicken waffles are delicious
Great food. Service and both locations are very clean and really well appointed.
Delicious food and environment.
Enjoyed a lovely Friday fish and chips lunch with a friend. Our server Ashley was attentive and offered good suggestions.
Came from dinner and again for brunch, we loved it! Sweet atmosphere and delicious food. Highly recommend the pickle burg! Great beer options
Best Nachos in my life ! (No joke) Everything was Perfect !! Thank you <3
Very creative hreakfast menu!
Some good beer choices in a quite varied menu and great fried chicken. Service is friendly and just the right amount of attentive. The bar area has a cool vibe though the video screen can be distracting at times. In an area of Saint John with a sea of pub choices, it s a real find.
Superb fish and chips (reallly good chips) and my wife thoroughly enjoyed her chicken tacos. Great service. They squeezed us in even on a busy Saturday night! Thanks to our fabulous sever Chelsea!
Always great food !!
Just meh. Atmosphere was nice. Food and service were awful. Took 30 mins from the time we were seated until a server even showed up at our table. Didn t receive drinks until the end of the meal. Ordered a flatbread club which was terrible, bread was crumbly and dry.
Everything was great. We were a big table, and I think we were a little overwhelming on our young server
Just had the best chowder we have ever had! Delicious food, friendly staff and great drinks!
Amazing dinner once again !! Super food and ambiance !! Exceptional service. Special thank you to Mikala- she made the service an awesome experience. A tried and true spot for a great meal. Be sure to try it on your next night out in Saint John.
Had some delicious BBQ nachos on their sweet little back patio Mimosas were delicious Food
The Smokehouse burger with poutine is pretty good
Good good, great service!!
Smoke burger is amazing
Nice restaurant. Service was slow waitress dropped menu and was gone. I had to ask again and again for things. Ordered the eggs Benedict: Large amount of hasbrowns which were tasty, the benedict; eggs were perfect ,the hollandaise sauce barely covered the eggs and a very minimal amount and the local back bacon to which I was looking forward to trying was but a small sliver very thin and tiny. My friend had eggs and was a very small portion of scrambled eggs. The value was not there.
We come to Britts for breakfast. I am a seafood lover so I ordered a couple of fish cakes and took an eggs benny off my hubby s plate. The fish cakes were fabulous but the eggs Benny stole the show. WOWZA. may be the best benny I ve ever had! He said even the hashbrowns were very nicely seasoned.
Hands down some of the best pub food Ive had. Spinach dip and Cubano sandwich were out of this world delicious. Top notch cocktails with the Caribbean Sunset and Cherry Sour to pair with the meal.
The food was so good! The spinach dip was amazing, the cocktails were incredibly well crafted and the food in general was delicious. Super friendly staff topped it off
A great spot for a quick lunch. While no one in our visit was drinking alcohol that day, they appeared to have an extensive selection of beers. As a tourist, I liked seeing the options of some local fare on the menu and was very happy with the food we ordered. Recommend both the Chicken and Waffle Poutine and the Pickleback Chicken Sandwich.
Decided to try Britts yesterday with my boyfriend. We both ordered the waffle chicken poutine. Honestly one of the best poutines weve ever had! Food was incredible and the restaurant was beautiful. Would definitely recommend for anyone!
Stopped in for a late Saturday lunch. The service was friendly, the food tasty and appetizing in appearance, and the beverages refreshing. Just a relaxing and enjoyable place if you re looking for something a little more upscale.
Best chowder in New Brunswick. Kid-friendliness: Kids got a free dessert. Food : 5/5 |
Friendly staff and a great local beer selection. The pickle back burger is very good.
Loooooved the Dragon Noodle dish! It was so good with the chicken as per our servers recommendation! My husband got the pickle burger....he honestly thought it was an actual burger, so he was surprised when it was chicken, but he did enjoy it. The server was great! Also the gentleman who sat us was also very nice and even chit chatted with us. Thank you for a great meal!
A really nice atmosphere with great food and an amazing beer selection. Our server was fantastic and very helpful.
Absolutely amazing meal the food was incredibly tasty. A must return
Always great food and drinks, never disappoints
Fun place to grab dinner with friendly staff and a good menu. Unfortunately they were out of tofu the nigh we were there, but the salads and fish tacos were still tasty. Tons of different beers on tap! Vegetarian options: For vegetarian mains, they have salads, a tofu burger, and a noodle bowl. I opted for one of the salads which was good. We
Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free bun for burgers. Food
Awesome experience, Paula is amazing with the customers, and the atmosphere is great. Good food, pleasant experience everytime
They accommodated us even when the kitchen closed in 5 minutes. Really appreciated that and the server was very friendly. Food was amazing! Try the key lime pie cocktail, it was delicious.
Amazing meal! Fish was a bit hard but still very tasty. We didnt have a waiter check-in during our meal, so that was odd because we needed things and couldnt get attention. Was very pleased that they had a highchair for our baby! Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible
Vegetarian options: Their Tofu burger is delicious! Food
The staff was awesome Had a really good time with you guys! Thanks. Qc girl Food : 5/5 |
Excellent food! Fantastic service! Very cool old Hub with much better than Pub food! We were halfway surprise. Came recommended from our hotel.
Our favorite place in St John s so far! Ashley was an amazing server. All of the food was excellent. Pickles, soup, haddock fish & chips, salad, fries (really good).
We were looking for a place to have lunch and had a look at a few other places but then found Britts.Walked in and it lokked pleasant and as nobody met us at the door we went to the outside seating area.I was then asked rudely if we were seated by somebody and i said no.She asked us to go back to the lounge and wait,so we did.Then two waitresses walked past in conversation and i called them and they ignored me,so we left. Unacceptable customer service!
My partner and I stopped in for dinner on July 29. We stood at the Please Wait to be Seated sign for several minutes and were not acknowledged in any way even though I had made eye contact with a server who then quickly looked away. After a time a server came over and said We dont have any space except the bar, is that fine?. There was no friendly greeting, no acknowledgment that wed been waiting, nothing. We were then sat at the bar and given menus. The bartender also did not acknowledge our presence even though he walked by us several times. After another few minutes go by without so much as a sorry, Ill be right with you we decided to take our business across the street to Bigtide Brewing where we received prompt and friendly service. I understand when restaurants are busy it isnt always possible to receive service immediately but it takes three seconds to say hi there, Ill be right with you. Table touches go a long way and we received zero acknowledgement. We will not be back.
We had 4 people in our party, and all had such a variety of options. Everything tasted fantastic.
The food was great, the service was amazing and the establishment itself was beautiful. Will be going back very soon!
Good place
Very good pub fare in a great downtown location. Parking: Paid street parking on weekdays Food : 5/5 |
Great place to visit. We especially liked the coconut toast from the kids menu.
Brunch Benny was good. Maybe they could better prep the peameal so it isnt tough and dry. And what were those things disquised as potatoes on my plate! Yeech!
My partner and I were uptown for the Moonlight Bazaar and we foolishly did not make a reservation. After walking around for a while we found Britts had a few seats left in their bar. I must say on such a busy day the staff were on the ball, moving quickly to seat and serve people. We did not wait long at all for our drinks, even though our server made them herself. The food was out quickly for such a busy night, and it was delicious! Most impressive of all, even though they were busy, they never made us feel like we were rushed. That to me is the most important thing, I dont want to feel rushed out the door if Im giving you my business. Very good work from the team! Keep it up, you guys rock!
Food was ok, nothing was great. The issue was that when we ordered the check we saw a mouse under the tables running around... That was not pleasant at all...
Best food at port i had on my cruise in august 2023. Very good waitress named paula as well. Highly suggest stopping here on a st johns stop on a new england cruise. Fried pickles and spinich dip top 3 ive ever had of each dish. So gas.
The Maritime Chowder is heavy on cream, light on seafood, but it was tasty. Very nice beer and cider selection and great service (Joe Lander)
Loved the outdoor patio! We were hosting friends from a cruise ship and stopped in for drinks before heading off to their next port. The service, as always, did not disappoint. Courteous, fun and entertaining. So great to have an experience like Britts to promote our community!
Got the fish and chips but made my chips poutine because it was my first time in Canada. The fish was the absolute best Ive had! The poutine was great as well. Hope to go back one day!
Their Chicken & Waffle Poutine is one of the best things I have ever eaten in my life. The Britts Brew was passable and my husband liked his Pickle Back Burger, but not as much as he liked my poutine!
Delicious food, high quality beer and friendly staff! All there
Great pub, amazing local beer and cider. Spinach dip was delicious. Joe was an amazing server. Friendly, prompt and recommended stuff to do for us as tourists. Definitely stop in here when in Saint John!
Breakfast Good food good service Good place gorgeous eggs Benedict Bonne nourriture Bon service Bon choix d oeufs Benedict.
We had blackened halibut fish tacos (delicious!) and the seafood chowder (delicious). The biscuit that came with the chowder, hard as a hockey puck . Overall though a nice place to eat.
Everyone elses food looked great. House Burger was lacking.
Lobster Roll was delicious. We also enjoyed the Chicken & Waffle Poutine.
Amazing meal. Had fish and chips and it was fantastic. Server was nice, funny and knowledgeable.
So good with great vegan options!
We had an excellent dinner at Britts. Fast, friendly service, excellent food and the music playlist was awesome!!
Tuesday pints special
Excellent brunch
My go to spot when I don t know where to eat, staff are always super friendly and accommodating and food is consistently very good. I ve never had a negative experience at Britt s.
Great atmosphere and service was excellent.
My husband and I went for dinner this evening and we had the absolute joy of having Emily as our server again. She is amazing!! She goes out of her way to make your experience as enjoyable as possible. Over the summer, we brought our puppy out to the patio and immediately caught Emilys attention. She took the time out of her busy night to stop and talk to us and our puppy Ryn and quickly made fast friends. I truly feel that Britts would be at a loss without Emily and she truly is a jem and one of a kind. Her customer experience is top notch and this is one of the reasons we keep coming back! We love britts and Emilys welcoming personality! Thank you to Britts and Emily for an awesome dining experience!
Fantastic food, very attentive server and the atmosphere was great, if we come back to NB this would certainly be on our list of places to go for good food
Had the piggy back burger, so good, will def be back..the server was super friendly
Lovely place. Service was excellent and the fish and chips were very good. Will definitely visit again next time Im in Saint John.
Food here is exceptional and the service on a busy night was also top notch. Our server, Emily, was awesome and friendly. Steak and ale pie was rich and delicious and the southern fried chicken was melt in your mouth good. I definitely recommend it for a good pint and some elevated pub fare.
I am a bit surprised. I went here, my sisters food had a random piece of bread that wasn t sourdough bread as she ordered. I ordered eggs benedict, the Hollandise had no flavour, fries were dry and unflavoured. The egg wasn t even runny.
It s a golf course restaurant , which is to say it s overpriced and bland. Fish tacos were tasteless, house burger was also lacking and clearly been frozen at most a few hours ago. Fries, totally unsalted. The staff though? A+. Go get a good cheap burger at Tops instead of an overpriced cheap burger. I have no idea where to go for fish tacos but try anywhere but an English-Style Pub . P.S About six months later I ate here with a friend and the experience redeemed them a bit in my eyes. The chicken is very good and when they salt the fries, they re worth it. I m not a beer guy, but there s a huge selection. Moving them up a star and a half bc I was being a bit too hard on them
Amazing service, brilliantly delicious food and the drinks are perfection
The food was just okay. I would expect when paying 20 dollars for a specialty burger platter at an English pub that they could jazz the plate up a little with more than a handful of fries. Surly a side of coleslaw would not break the bank or even a pickle spear. Lots of microbrew options to choose from though.
Favorite spot in town. It was a little expensive but worth every dollar.
