1255 Sandy Point Rd, Saint John, NB E2K 5E3, 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 three 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's a born & bred Britt!
We don't go to Britt’s often but we like it when we do. We sat outside on a beauty day and shared the Southern Chicken. Very, very good. We had the recommended house fries as there were more to share. Service was great.
I ordered the Cajun poutine. I highly recommend it. It was delicious it was nicely seasoned, and there was nice flavored sausage and several large prawns adorning the perfectly cooked fries. There were also lots of tasty peppers and onions. My only complaint is that I've been noticing a trend of being served a can of iced tea instead of a glass with free refills. When you pay $3.50 for a can of iced, it's definitely the least reasonable part of the meal. I felt the food itself was reasonably priced.
Burger week! Ordered the smokehouseand for a side I went with garlic mashed potatoes. Appearance was great, the burger was a decent temperature and the taste was great! Loads of flavours. The garlic mashed didn't seem to have any garlic, they were cold to the point it didn't melt the butter. This is were the awesome service kicked in. The server was amazing and offered something else. I ended up with fresh out of the fryer fries and they were good. All in all.... 4 stars!
This was my first experience at Britts, and it was wonderful!! Our server Ryan was excellent! We had a party of 16 people and he did not disappoint we his exceptional service. We got seated in a good area, where we had 4 small children with our party. The children got their food first, which was great. All our food was good that everyone said. We all got something different. There also was a large party that Ryan was serving as well. He did great, I can't get over how good he was. We came at 1. We had a reservation. We will be back! We ordered the southern fried chicken and the turkey poutine.
Overall good experience, tried a bunch of things. Everything was good, no complaints but nothing stands out as great though. They have a good drinks menu too. We had a late lunch so place wasn't that crowded and we got served fast. Plenty of parking spaces and most times you can just walk in but during holidays the odds are you won't find a place without a booking. Prices are higher than similar places but a prime location next to a golf course comes at a premium i guess.
Last year, we ate here and it was awesome ! But since, something has changed and it's very disappointing. All the meals was too much salty. Poutine was not the sam, something changed in the poutine and there was not enough gravy. Fried Pickles was too big in size of pickles. Tacos was too salty and fried chicken didn't taste anything except salt. In general, a big big big disappointment for us when last year we though we found THE PLACE...but now it's a no for us. For nearly 200$ of meals...it's not worth it !
A 5 Star level Pub and Restaurant tucked away in a peaceful location near the Golf Course. The ambience, service and food variant were amazing. The food was top class, we tried a few from the menu and the taste and presentation was amazing. The host were welcoming and quick with their smile and feedback being icing on the cake. Must visit place or any Saint John resident and visitors. Try their Nachos.
We went to Britt's for lunch. It wasn't busy and the service was great. The food was delicious. I had the PB and J burger with a salad. It was a 9/10. It could have been a bit bigger but was juicy and fresh. My daughter had the fingers and fries and loved the fries. 10/10 on the fries. My wife had the burrito bowl.
Great food and beer. Great new waitress!
Had a turkey dinner on October 13th , 2024 for my sister and myself.. I had a soft drink, sister had coffee Dinner was truly a disappointment.. arrived rather cool.. gravy way cool ,veggies were almost raw and poor selection for turkey dinner ( snow peas ?? .. I requested extra gravy and had to remind waitress twice.. the gravy was a mushroom gravy not even turkey gravy.. The bill for the 2 dinners came to over $75 and I left a tip which left the total close to $93.00 This really is quite absorbent for such a dinner It was at such a poor quality and disappointing taste I didn t inquire as to cost of dinner before ordering as waitress said it was a daily special.. However if this bill reflects the cost of your turkey dinner ( no dessert included ) nothing was offered .. Such a disappointment especially for what we craving for Thanksgiving.. Also it was not at all busy at restaurant , only a few couples Hope to hear your response to this
Always a great meal.
Great foot and our waiter ( Stefani)is fantastic .
This place is way overrated. Freezing cold inside and the jelly bean creme brulee was a dissapointment. Waiter wasnt friendly either and didnt check on us enough.
Fish cake eggs Benedict were excellent!
I recently dined at this restaurant and had the most amazing serving experience. The server Kallista, right off the bat was so sweet and welcoming, and really created a positive atmosphere. She recommended a delicious rainbow trout meal, and it was the best thing I have had here yet. She truly went above and beyond, and added to the dining experience.
We are very happy with your friendly staff
great selection of beers, cool atmosphere, good food at decent prices. This place gets busy and not a bad idea to reserve online. Parking: plenty of free parking
Food was good, though a bit over done otherwise nice place.
This was our first time here with our Son and Daughter in Law! Great food. Great service! Thank you, Julia!
Went for family birthday dinner and 2 of us the shrimp and chicken pad Thai. It was very tangy and the taste was not pleasant. It was the worst pad Thai either of us have ever tried to eat and we were very disappointed. Service was good and deserts were good. Vegetarian options: Not many
Lovely restaurant with large selection of food and drinks. Great views and probably convenient when playing golf on the course!
Always awesome! Fish tacos were excellent. Good service for a busy Tuesday night
If I could give a negative star I would. Waiting over an hour for food, with no follow up or recognition from my server is absolutely absurd. When discussed with manager after expressing our disappointment the manager says we re very busy . Absolutely understandable when a restaurant is busy there will be a hold up on food, but to never see your server again and to have zero acknowledgment that you were even there. Would not recommend this place to anyone who s looking for good service and hot food (which by the way came out cold). Ended up taking our food in a take out container (with zero compensation).
Had a group of 10, which grew to 12. Wait staff had no issues with our change. Great food, excellent service! I believe Stephanie was our servers name.
Charming, romantic, urban chic... cant believe this is a golf course! Food is sensational, chef must be Haut cuisine trained. Forget the golf, come to celebrate this unforgettable new place to dine. Food : 5/5
My experience was shocking to say the least, especially in comparison to the centre town location. To start, the restaurant was dirty; table, floors and plates. When we asked to have the table cleaned and crusted foods removed the server came with a dry napkin, wiped the food from the edge onto my friends lap, wiped the table which did nothing and moved on. Things only got worse from here. Our drinks that we ordered were prepped and then left on the bar counter as 3 employees stood talking. This was a regular occurrence throughout the night. Ontop of this every time plates were brought to us, they were blatantly dirty. I cant say I saw any management or leadership, let alone an employee with respect for the workplace or customers. Another server, with the remnants of another table that they just cleared, rushed by and spilled utensils and dropped sour cream or another sauce on the floor and all over the back of my friends leg. The server carried on, not only not picking anything up, but then rushed out of the restaurant with his belongings. The remaining servers repeatedly walked by and over that mess along with other fallen napkins and things on the floor. When we left, we pointed out the mess and the slipping hazard, but that didnt stop them from continuing to ignore it. Now the so called food. My friend had a chicken and waffle poutine. He barely ate it. The lack of training and experience of the cooks shows. Drowning in gravy and a soggy breaded chicken. The cheese was just a giant cold clump. A disgusting dish at best and clear lack of quality. I myself had the Mecklenburger. The burger is certainly nothing to ride home about, but was the better dish of the table. Unfortunately, I was the only one to get any sort of hot food. My girlfriends fries were about as cold as they could get. I can forgive new employees and off nights in the kitchen, but this place to its core clearly has issues. As a manager at my job, i know lack of managment and control. Its clear this restaurant has gone downhill over the months/years as you read other disappointed reviews. Hopefully the management steps up there game and rains in their establishment. I can only assume being attached to the golf course is the only reason this place stays open. That should be used to its advantage to bring this place up to par. I can tell from the lack of customers on a weekend that others in the community can agree, our money is better spent else where for the time being. 2 Stars only because I didnt get sick.
Food was cold, server was too busy to stop while dropping off the wrong drinks. Not recommended
Yum!
Fantastic breakfast, have to get the fish cakes!
Always loved this place but it seems like catering to a young crowd. Music is way too loud ~ we didn t even wait for the server to come back. We left because we couldn t talk to each other :/
I did not even know that this was open early in the mornings but we came in for breakfast and had a fantastic meal. The chicken and waffles was very good and I will order it again the next time that we come in here. There is a lot of food on the plate and youll leave smiling and satisfied with your experience here as well, I assure.
Best place ive been to in a long time !
Great spot for a great meal, come fancy pr come casual they will treat you the same.
2nd time at this location and likely won t be coming back. Our waitress was nice, but the menu looked different than before and I found little options that I would enjoy. I got a rice noodle dish and the rice noodles were super undercooked, cold and crunchy. Wasn t very impressed considering the price.
Best veggie burger in the whole province of New Brunswick!!!
Great place. Service and great selection of beer and food
Food was good, service was great an a nice atmosphere. I did find the prices were a bit steeper than expected.
Amazing food and staff!!
Awesome food but very noisy for having a conversation.
Its a nice place & delicious food
My wife and I love Britt s Pub a lot! They have a nice selection of food and drinks. We most especially love the ambiance! I just had a strange experience today. I dropped in this branch today at 3:30 PM. We were in a rush because we knew it was closing at 4 PM. I was there to buy carrot cake for take away because it s my wife s favorite. To my surprise, the server said the kitchen is closed. I wasn t even going to stay and eat in. I was just hoping to get a carrot cake to take home with me. She said she can t give me anymore because the kitchen is closed. It was just frustrating because she didn t check first with the kitchen and it s just a cake. It s pre-made and it just had to be sliced and put in a box. The restaurant was still serving people. I just wonder if that s really the case? I would like to hear from the manager. I know how important customer satisfaction is to the owner and I m just dissapointed with my experience today and hopefully it wouldn t happen to anyone else.
Had an awesome salad here! Customer service was great and quick.
Great food choices for any age. Service was excellent.
On Apr 8/23 I had made a reservation for an aunts surprise 80th birthday. The reservation was for 20 people, however, to my surprise and pleasure there were 26 people who came! The staff was so wonderful and accommodating. They set up extra settings for us. Our waitress and service was great. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the atmosphere. My aunt was surprised and enjoyed herself immensely. Thank you Britts Rockwood. You can be assured we will be back for other special occasions.
Very tasty brunch. Loved the chicken waffle eggs Ben. But the best for me was the fish cake... wow.. loved it. The coffee was on the weak side for me... even the capucino was not great.. but I still recommend this place... Really nice local brunch spot.

Went to dinner tonight with my wife for Burger week, I tried the Cheesy Chicken burger and my wife had the Chicken sandwich with the dill sauce on it. Overall the service was great but quite honestly the food was just ok. A little pricy for the meals without alcohol mind you we had a starter spinach salad. Was $80.00 for two of us, the Chicken sandwich was ok but lacked flavour. Was pretty bland honestly, more batter on the Chicken than Chicken. Will definitely go back and try other items off the menu
Food is really yummy. The atmosphere is really nice too. I have had both the fish and chicken tacos and enjoyed both and would recommend them. They have options available for vegetarian diets too. They have a decent sized patio in the summer months. Would recommend trying it out for sure. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options available and they change seasonally, based off what s in season. Parking: Tons of parking available. Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly
Ate supper with family at Britts tonight and it was top notch!!! It was one of the best steaks Ive ever had. Our server was Jason, and he was also amazing. One of steaks wasnt cooked the way I asked and it was quickly rectified, now thats service!!!! Definitely coming back for more!!!
My girlfriends and I have dinner here once per month, pretty diverse menu!
What could be better than a great meal at Britts? How about enjoying it outside on the patio with a view of the Rockwood Park Golf course? It is such a great atmosphere to accompany the great food and awesome staff. Be sure to make a reservation as it fills up fast.
Excellent for breakfasts
Food is always great here. 2 of the 3 of us had the pickle brined chicken sandwich. It was moist, tender, & delish! Even the basic breakfast is better than normal with the exceptional bacon...and my hubby knows bacon! Wheelchair accessibility: All on the ground floor.
Tasty food, great beer selection, and incredible atmosphere and restaurant. Really cozy!
Good food, great friendly staff.. not much more to say.
We waited for about 15 min to be sat down, waitress never came by to refil drinks. Fish and chips was rubbish. Food
Delicious food, service was the best though!
Really enjoyed this restaurant and will definitely be going back! The food and service are excellent with a great atmosphere . Vegetarian options: The best Tofu burger I have ever had, and there are other menu options that are vegetarian that I will definitely be coming back to enjoy.
The food was very good, but rather pricy for what it was. The fries deserve particular praise. The server was excellent; several members of my party had food allergies and he was able to ensure that everyone was accomodated. Parking: The parking lot is shared with the adjacent golf course, and so it can be crowded at times.
Great food and service is fast. Prices are reasonable. Parking: Lots of room. Recommended dishes Parking space Plenty of parking
Huge thanks to Britts eatery for being so accommodating of our daughters food allergy. Amazing food, atmosphere and service!!! We will be back for sure!
I love Britts already and the service I received just made my experience 10 times better. My server Kallista was the best. She was so nice and so funny! She made sure that we had a great time dining at Britts. The food and drinks were amazing and Kallista helped us make some great food selections! It s servers like her that go above and beyond for the customers that makes Britts Rockwood a great place to dine at.
A great place for a good meal
BEST Pub & Eatery Rockwood
Wow. If nothing else this place is consistently bad. Two terrible meals and thats the last time. The uptown location is SOOoo good. Whatever happens up here is embarrassing. Food is overcooked, oversalted or dried out
Excellent, well cooked food. Friendly staff and great views of the golf course. I highly recommend you eat here and try the pulled pork burger with deep fried pickles to start!
Great service and fantastic food.
I ve been a regular at Britts for years but this location s chef changed a year ago and it s been going downhill. From cold food, odd portions.. I mean it s not terrible but definitely not coming back. I ve tried to give it a chance today (ordered the breakfast poutine), my plate s hollandaise was thick, eggs were not cooked to what I ordered, and it was cheese.. like I could count the hashbrowns. It looked delicious but :(
Have been to Britts many times and is always a good experience. Prices are reasonable and service is great. Can sometimes be busy on peak days in summer. Food is also excellent, would recommend anything on the menu. Will return!
Britts has the best food, I ve loved everything I tried there, my most recent visit my waitress was Vanessa & she was amazing, knowledgeable, helpful, attentive. Love the atmosphere & all the wonderful staff, thanks Britts for another great dining experience
Great Brunch, great service
Always a great experience. So nice to see the restaurant busy again.
Service was very observant for any requests. The meal itself was delicious, hot, and well presented. Portions were generous, but not overloaded with fries. I would like to go back again and check out the dinner menu.
Long wait and entertainment was watching the fly and spider .. eww
The food and service was great
Great food friendly staff
Good food and great service.
Excellent food!
Vibrant place welcoming great service food is great.
Great service great food well served by John and the crew
Update to review, conversations with the GM of this restaurant did got well at all so I have changed my 2 start review to a 1 star. Extremely disappointed in a venue I use to love frequenting, to bad really. Well as a department at the SJRH we attempted to get take out as we have so many time before from Britts Rockwood yesterday, the man that answered the phone refused to take our order stating that they arent a take out restaurant. I was honestly shocked I still cant believe that our order was refused. I guess Britts has gotten so big it is now able to refuse orders from regular faithful customers. Job not well done.
I actually meant to hit 5 stars when I only hit 4. The food is delicious, and very filling. The Burger meat is to die for, and the portion sizes are *just* right.
Very great place the food is delicious!
I left a pretty harsh review of the Princess St location s burger, so I ordered steak and eggs. Good portion size, everything cooked perfectly. Good response time despite it being very busy when we arrived.
The food and the service was amazing! Everyone was super friendly and the food was divine. :)
How does one mess up fish & chips? I dont know, but it certainly happened to us, X2. Both orders of fish came with soggy fish batter. So, either my fish was undercooked, or it sat somewhere where it could get damp. Sent back, and did not reorder. Simple pub order. Should be easy.
They opened up the patio so we could bring our dog even though it was cold. They brought her water and were very nice! Dietary restrictions: Lots of dietary options. Parking: Lots of parking.
Great food and beer !
Staff are friendly, good prices and excellent food. Vegetarian options: There are some vegetarian / vegan options on the menu. Parking: Plenty of parking Kid-friendliness: Good for families
I am new to the NB area and was told by locals to try out Britts. I came to the restaurant alone as I didn t know anyone in the area . The waiter said he had no space for me. I saw several tables available he said they were reserved (which is fine), but, I also saw an open spot at the bar. I asked him how long the wait would be and he didn t say, he said sorry and sent me on my way. I am disappointed that I drove all this way to be refused service. Not a great experience, unfortunately.
Great place! Food is a bit slow to get to the table but is A+ when it arrives!
Always great!
After we were done the server could have brought our bill quicker but other than that the food was quick, hot and awesome!!
Lovely staff and service
Our first time to the golf course location. We liked the atmosphere and the service. The food was delicious!
Always good service and pub grub!
Great atmosphere, service and food! Love the Britts brew as well.
Greta food and sevice
Opposite side note the past
Went in for lunch. Service was very good. Food was very good as well. Will definitely be going back, especially when its warm to get some golf in too.
Always a great meal and ambiance
Whats not to love, excellent drink menu, friendly staff, good value for your money. Perfect spot to take family and friends.
Love the atmosphere, staff and food!! Always have a good experience here.
Lots of spawns for Niantic games.
The food was absolutely fabulous and our waiter was amazing, friendly, attentive and he joked with us. A table at the back had left her jacket behind. He sprinted after her to return her jacket to her in the parking lot. Ill be back.
Wait staff was well informed on the menu and made great recommendations! We were lucky to have a beautiful spring day and enjoyed the patio. There was a lot of space and our meals were delicious with fresh ingredients.
Always a good experience and above average pub food. Will he nice when the weather is better and the patio is open.
Hi Paula!
Waiter was funny and food was amazing! Chicken & waffles eggs Benny was probably the best brunch meal I have ever had.
Our favorite spot to go for a dinner out. The wait staff are always my favorite, the food is great, the atmosphere is perfect and they always have a great beer selection. 10/10 from us.
Great food as always.
Friendly staff, great and fresh food, top notch service. Lots of tasty drinks available on tap. ,mixed etc. Their Moscow Mule is a personal favorite and the best in the city in my opinion.
Britts is always a solid choice.
This place is just wow the food is great. Near to the hospital and UNB. And if you play golf, this is a must place to visit.
Good service and good food right beside the golf course
Had their club, with an amazing beet salad! The beats with the pickled onions, kale, nuts and goat cheese all in with that harissa cream dressing - worth it.
Weve been going here for years and its always our go to spot. Honestly, the food is always great, we never have complaints. Paula is absolutely amazing and I always enjoy going when were lucky enough to have her serve us. Never lose Paula! Haha
Good food.
Went there today for hubbys bday and he ordered wings and I got the house burger, we sat outside and it was beautiful, the food was good and the service was great, will be back soon
If ya like burgers ya gotta try the Piggy Back Burger
We had a great lobster poutine! The quality of the food is from a higher level but a bit expensive though..
The new menu is amazing. The scallops were cooked perfect and hubby loved his lobster roll. Very nice waitress quick service.
Beautiful summer day. Patio was nice. Fish and chips panko batter as well as the buttermilk southern fried chicken were exceptional.
The best place around to eat, never ever disappointed. Will always be the place I recommend to others.
Ummmmm. Great food
Good food Entertaining staff
SAFETY HAZARD. CROSS CONTAMINATION. This place is disgusting. They dont even make the food fresh, they have it sent form the other location and warm it up. But most importantly, they dont wash their hands, even after touching raw chicken, or raw scallops, before touching other food or plates. Dont eat here unless you want overpriced food poisoning.
First time there. Food was good, service a bit slow. Would go back.
The food looked very appealing, however, everything was truly underwhelming. It took over an hour to get our plates, one of them arrived cold and everything was incredibly underseasoned. We ordered 3 plates and they all had a burnt taste even though nothing was burnt, as if the grill wasnt clean. Beautiful place, the waitress was amazing and friendly, but that alone cant compensate for the sub-par food. Would love to come back, but there needs to be improvements in the kitchen. :(
Good food. Good times.
Super good brunch and super friendly stall. Great service, cant wait ro go back.
I normally really like this restaurant because the food is great and all of the waitresses are amazing but we had terrible service tonight. Our waiter never checked up on us to see how we were doing, threw the napkins and menus on the table, it took an hour just to get our food and when we got it it wasn t right. He acted like he didn t care and he was very unprofessional. We had another waitress take care of us and she was incredible, we wished we had her as a server and I wish I could have tipped her! The waiter said as we left next time make a reservation
It was okay
If you are looking for a good atmosphere and good food then youll find it here. We had a larger party, so wait times were quite long. However when we received our food only 1 of the 13 orders were incorrect and it was a simple cooking mistake. Server was attentive and addressed all our issues and question easily. All in all it was a good dinner and a solid 4/5 If our wait times were a little better and just a little more attenuation to detail with the food would have proved a perfect dinner.
Good food,always good to come back
Awesome food awesome service
I got a yogurt and fruit bowl which was really good, and the toast was awesome but the eggs werent the best but werent horrible either. Very friendly staff and a awesome place to eat.
Fav weekend brunch place.Great, busy atmosphere and excellent, friendly service. Food is elevated pub fare, have the eggs Benny for breakfast! Lots of TV screens to grab attention. Big and airy with a killer deck in summer overlooking the 18th hole. Lots of parking. Reserve on signature holidays, usually full.
First off, food was good here, prices are ok.. Only 3 stars for the insanely SLOW service. Waited 15min for a server to finally come by for drink orders... another 90min from placing our order to food on the table. .. 1.5hrs to wait to eat. And thats with a reservation! Staff was blaming a large table for slowing down the kitchen... Maybe a lesson learned, if you arent staffed to support a full room, perhaps start turning away at the door? If this was a US restaurant, a manager would have been at the table apologizing profusely, and probably would have at least comped drinks to make up for wasting a good chunk of our evening sitting at an empty table. Here, no one came to offer apologies other than the poor waitress that was running off her feet to keep up. Well probably skip this place next time were in town.
Awesome location with a great steak sandwich! Can t wait to return!
Excellent !!
Great food - always!
Its okay......prices are too high
Staff was great. Quick service or delicious food!
They are terrible at greeting diners as they arrive. The place is uncomfortably loud, regarding music. The music should be a quiet background filler, not over-blast all conversation, to the point that servers can not hear diners. The food is reasonable, but tends to support a bar menu as opposed to a dining menu. Therefore there is not much choice as far as dining is concerned unless you like filler foods with little nutrition.
Excellent breakfast fare.
Nice location and great food
Great food and nice atmosphere
Food is fantastic. Great craft beer selection. Staff is professional. Prices are pretty high for obvious reasons.
Real good food and great service, thanks Kristen!!
Great service, entertaining big screens, pleasant ambiance. However, IMO, they should not claim to model English pub style. I ordered the southern fried chicken but the flavour was unidentifiable. It was also boneless filets of chicken, which is not southern at all, nor would the flavor or style be in an actual English pub. Incidentally, I chose that item because it was the most pub-style thing I could find on the menu, other than wings (which were pricey IMO). I started with a compliment, and Ill end with one ... the fries were GREAT!
Great food and service. As always!
