First time friendly staff, food was amazing....did not leave hungry ill tell you that!

The server was friendly, and based on the crowd I might have had too high of expectations... I was left feeling disappointed after eating. Overpriced for the quality of takeout. Based on reviews I figured I'd try the beef dip and garlic fries. A beef dip and garlic fries for $26. The amount of fries wasn't what I consider a reasonable amount. The sandwich was pretty good, but could have benefited from a a horse radish sauce. The garlic fries were underwhelming. Most restaurants I've visited typically served fries in decent portions because they are cheap to cook and make it feel like a more substantial meal. When I opened the fry container and saw they couldn't even fill the bottom of the container I was kind of taken aback. Maybe the eat-in quality is better, but I will certainly not entertain the idea of going back anytime soon.

I went in here optimistic, hoping I had found a gem to go to when looking for some good pub food. It was semi busy when my friend and I showed up. We got our table and started looking at the menu. I ordered a beef dip and my friend ordered a pizza. Now, I’m not a horseradish fan. So I had asked the server to have the cooks not put that on for me. When I got my food, instructions were followed but to my disappointment, the meat had nothing for flavour. Just super bland and even the auju sauce couldn’t help. To be honest, the sandwich might have even tasted a bit better without the dip which is saying a lot… Maybe they rely on the horseradish to give the sandwich kick and I missed out, but I would definitely recommend looking at how the meat is prepped and maybe give it more spicing up to make things more exciting. At least a bit more salt if nothing else. On the plus side, the fries were good. My friend said his pizza was kind of subpar too. Our waitress was friendly and courteous but didn’t stop by much to check on us very much so it was long waits for drink refills or any other requests we had.

Had the brisket ou jue and the brisket poutine with the pickle coin starter. Food was very good for the price point. Meat is apparently sourced from prairie meats. Service was average, and atmosphere was quant, small but clean. Seats weren’t the most comfortable but I can get over that. Happy hour specials are decently priced. I’ll probably go again.

★★★★

The pub has a great vibe, but the food tastes ok, reasonable for a bar food. There are no vegan options and three vegetarian ones: pizza, nachos, and fries - nothing else. It is a good place to grab a drink with colleagues after work. The pizza was 6/10, alright. But the ambiance will make me for sure come again.

We had Mushroom burgers and stake. Both tasted great. The atmosphere is very upbeat and staff friendly. It's a little bit of wait if you go in the weekends, but other than that, this little gem of a restaurant doesn't disappoint!

What an awesome place to hang out! This was our first trip in, and we went for the Sunday specials - the appy platter and cheap beer. Service was great, and the food was awesome. The platter came with cheese toast, taters, yam fries, chicken fingers, chicken wings, and fried Pickles. We got all of that and 4 beer for $44. Which is incredible! Also a great place to watch sports with lots of TVs around the whole pub.

First time patron. Clean tables and bar area. Friendly efficient service. Great atmosphere. The food was of good quality. We had steak sandwiches, which were plated very nicely. I asked for my steak to be rare, and I actually got it served as asked. We will definitely will go back again. 04/27/24 Dissapointed. Dirty table, server didn't listen to our request. Ordered steak bites and pulled pork sandwich. Steak bites were presented well but tasted like old under cooked bacon, with no taste of steak at all. The pulled pork sandwich was served on a stale bun, and the fries were overly seasoned. Over half the meal was sent back, and we were not asked what was wrong. We WILL NOT be back

This place wasn t it for me. While the vibe is cool and chill, the decor is funky and the staff is friendly and attentive- I did not enjoy the good. I had the chicken Cesar salad and unfortunately it was the most disgusting salad I d ever had. They boast it being heavy on the garlic. Which isn t bad- I love garlic. However this has no resemblance to a Cesar salad. Even if it s homemade dressing, it s missing the Cesar. It tasted like they took raw garlic, crushed it up and made a cream dressing. It was pure raw garlic. The chicken was shredded rotisserie chicken that was unseasoned, no flavour. It was also pink- I m sure it was cooked but it was very unappetizing. The people I came with enjoyed their meals, I did not. The waitress did tend to the matter and comped the meal- much appreciated. I did ensure I provided feedback- I m not sure who would enjoy this and I m not an overly picky person. I probably won t return as a result. Not wheel chair accessible- it is a dropped down entrance from the side walk.

We went for happy hour at the rabbit hole, which I totally recommend. It s lively with people, drinks are good appetizers are so so. Lots of deep fried stuff. I have also been there for lunch and the food was very good. The service is excellent with often only one or two servers managing the whole group very well. It s not a big place so go early. There s parking in front and behind.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a casual meal. The service was impeccable, with the staff being attentive and friendly. I highly recommend Rabbit hole Restaurant for anyone looking for a delicious meal and great drinks. Five stars all the way!

We arrived during a very busy time, when waited for a table and got one after 5 minutes. The server never wiped and sanitized the table. She asked if we needed menus we said no we know what we want. She took my order but never took my friends order. He got up to find her and verbally tell her his order. The wings a bit pricey but pretty good buffalo wings. My beef dip arrived, but it wasnt correct the server asked me if she wanted to bring the toppings to the table. I said i prefer for the kitchen to correct the error. I got my beef dip back with a cold slice on cheese and the toppings were nothing special. The jus was watery but the beef and bread were good.

My partner and I went here for dinner tonight, for the first time. We were served by Jane, who was so lovely and bubbly! She made awesome food recommendations and checked in the perfect amount of times! We had buy one get one apps - meatballs and onion rings, very delicious! I also had the philly cheesesteak sandwich with meat so tender it melts in your mouth I would have rated the restaurant a full 5 stars had my eyes not been ASSAULTED by NY Yankees merch all over the place.. but after serious consideration, I think I may be willing to come back and forgive the poor decor, just because of the food and service was excellent :)

wings were overcooked, service was slow because they only had a single waitress for the whole place and it was full (with kids there after 8pm too) and beer was advertised as 20 ounces but served in 16 ounces glasses (and i mean clearly, as in the glasses were marked 500ml) and staff got angry at me when I pointed out they werent the advertised size. Garbage.

Great hole in the wall that we discovered when looking for restaurant options. Meal options are fairly standard for a pub/burger joint; however the ingredients used allow for a more unique and varied experience from what one would suspect. Certainly some creative and appealing options within their set menu. Service was a struggle, however I would add the caveat that the servers were making do with what they had in a very busy environment. I believe the manager arrived to provide relief and it was good to see him on the floor engaging with customers and supporting staff. Id recommend.

I was expecting a good tasty burger, but what I received instead was EPIC. The char-broiled taste, alone, was worth the visit. The rest of my plate and the overall atmosphere was fantastic.

Had the wing special. They should be ashamed of themselves. I should have sent the wings back Im mad at myself that I didnt. They were so stringy and little to no meat. On a few drum wings the bone in the middle was even exposed thats how little meat there was. The wings at Bugsys on their wing night have like 3x more meat. Just because you put the wings on special doesnt mean you need to rip people off and send out such pathetic wings. Seriously so embarrassing I cannot believe they sent those wings to me. I doubt I will return and have told several people already about the occurrence.

I was looking forward to coming here for a very long time. Ordered steak sandwich, steak was okay nothing wrong with it. Aside hair on the bottom of it i was closer to the end of the steak so didnt bother saying anything. (Not one of those people who will eat close to the whole thing then want it free) Then went to eat my ceaser salad and another hair so didnt even touch it. After mentioning to server no response walked away paid my bill and left. Doubt we will be coming back. Ive heard nothing but great things about this place but customer service is a must. I would have gladly taken a new salad. But after that service no thanks.

Not amazing, but pretty darn good. Blue burger with fries: delicious flavour, burger was a little dry but maybe just because its lean ground beef. Fries were fantastic - fresh and crispy. Crispy chicken wrap with salad: pretty good. Didnt eat the wrap (it was grilled but cold), but the filling was good. Salad was nice. Wine: good price, not bad quality (Lindemans cab sav) Service: Slow to start but great after that. Music: Excellent tunes. Keep that up. Overall, a nice experience.
