Eaten here twice in the last week and very disappointed in the service. Took too long to get served by the weekend waitress only to have the order incorrect twice! On my second trip I ordered eggs and toast only due to illness and was charged for bacon and eggs breakfast. Waitress actually argued with me in front of the company I was with. I will not come here again- long term customer.

Every time I order online you guys cancel my order. Gets very annoying. If you don’t have those items, then make them unavailable to order on skip the dishes. It’s very easy to do so, I work as a line cook and done it many times while working downtown. There’s no excuse for this bs

I just tried to go in for a drink for the first time, I’ve lived in this area 6 years and been told that the owner and staff are very friendly. I walked in with a small glass of water and was finishing it since I’d just had my monthly massage, and the bartender very rudely told me to go outside to drink it. Water. In the summer. In Toronto. This is against public health and safety measures and I’ll be reporting this establishment. I’m a local homeowner and business owner and these local small businesses need to understand treating clients poorly has ripple effects. The bar was empty save two patrons only having one drink, so I guess they can afford to keep turning away new business.

This used to be my local haunt. Staff was excellent, friendly and welcoming from my first visit. The burgers are dynamite! I used to go a couple nights after work most Saturdays for karaoke! I still pop in when I'm in the old neighborhood. Great pub!

We were impressed with the atmosphere. The waitress and bartender there were so kind and very accommodating with the menu and the service. It’s definitely a neighborhood bar. The only thing missing was the Coors Light. Otherwise absolutely second to none. Thank you Darlene ‼️

Been in this place a couple of times never once have I’ve left happy, won’t serve me after I smoked a joint but will allow others to drink and drive 🤔. Bartender put her thumb in my pint glass to refill it and pass it back to me not even get me a new clean glass, doesn’t wash her hands after smoking cigarettes, bar top is always sticky, foul Oder from the basement, came back after a couple of months thinking they would upgrade the place? Nope still the same stench downstairs in the washroom! Stale beer/flat. Even in a can.. disappointing overall had their chance to redeem and failed miserably…👎 Bottom line: NO I would not recommend to a friend or family member! Hard pass..!!!

Ordered a grilled cheese with ham and fries through SKIP. What I got was a barely grilled cheese with ham: 3 slices of standard white sandwich bread, 2 slices of processed cheese and 2 slices of packaged lunch meat ham. The handful of fries were overcooked. Don't think I'll be keeping this food source as a "go-to".

Five star chef in the kitchen. You can tell a lot from a soup - it's always incredible! Friendly staff and the owner is a great guy. Monday is pool night - but everynight has a good players ready for a game. A hidden gem in the Cliffside area. Lots of options on the menu - everything is incredible. Well done.

Not worth the try, Terrible customer service and terrible food. I placed an order and they messed it up. When we called back to ask, they said whatever the order you placed i told it to the kitchen but what they do in kitchen is not up to me what kind of answer is that? We should shutup and eat whatever they give? I regret tipping them before checking my order.

I went to this place a few days ago on the first really nice day this spring. Weather was good and so I stopped and ordered a beer and went out to sit on the table outside. I was thinking of ordering fish and chips. People were coming in to get takeout so I thought I would give it a try. The bartender came out a few minutes after she brought the beer and asked if I had been smoking.....she wasnt rude but the question seemed odd. I told her I wasnt smoking (I dont smoke) and I asked why she thought I was. She said ...Oh the kitchen said something....?????? It didnt make sense but I thought that was that. A few minutes later.....this Karen steps out on the patio and starts barking at me like a little rabid poodle....YOU CANT SMOKE HERE!!!!!! She had an apron on so maybe she was working in the kitchen. I told her I wasnt smoking and she frowned and turned to go back in. No apology for her nasty tirade. Thank God I hadnt ordered food...My first experience in the place...It was entertaining but I wont be back. Who wants to pay for that LOL!

This has become my go to place after work. All the staff are amazing; and the food is great too. Prices are really affordable. Their Garlic Bread is heaven. Things I would recommend: Caesar Salad (with Steak) 8oz Steak meal (I always get it with some green chillies) Wings Calamari Pizza (even their naked pizza is so good). Saturday nights are amazing with the karaoke. Look out for their specials every night those are for steal.

I called to order nachos could not see them on the menu because their web site stinks. So. I called them I was asking the gentleman that answered the phone what was on them and how big the order was because I might of needed to or 2 orders depending on size he told me he was busy phone back.it was only a 9 dollar order he had know time. I wil never eat there he was rude and had no.customer service skills

December 21, 2021

Food was the worst I have ever had! Food selection wasn t that great for dinner, food was dry and flavourless. Stomach felt like it wanted to turn. Roast beef look few days old re heated. You couldn t get a glass of water, you had to purchase bottle which is overpriced. Waitresses were unprofessional fooling around with karate kicks. Understandably pricing is good but food could be better

Ordered delivery from this place as we wanted to support a local restaurant. The first issue were the 4 tiny (and tasteless) mozzarella sticks that cost $7.95 - thats almost 2 dollars per stick! Next up were the chicken fingers and fries. The chicken fingers were so overcooked that they were hard to bite into and the fries were soggy and just awful. Do not recommend.

Bought a cheese burger worst cook ever. Bun soggy from careless slathering of condiments, onion slice 2 inches thick(gross). No pride in his cooking. Never order again. Could already picture the state of, level of cleanliness, and food handling practices of that kitchen. If the cook can slap together a sloppy burger and present it to a customer. What does he do in that kitchen where no one looks. Frightening!!!!!

December 21, 2019

Ordered food for take out. Made sure to order my food ahead of time so I could just grab it and leave. It was -20 outside. Had no interest drinking in the bar. Just wanted a burger on my way home. Because I had a LCBO bag with me I was told I was not allowed to be inside the bar. In front of everyone in the bar I was asked to wait outside for my food. I was just there to pick up food, not to drink. I was forced to wait outside for my food, in -20 weather because it is Policy. I can understand there being a problem if someone were to walk into the bar with there own alcohol and start ordering drinks. But I was just there to pick up my food and leave. This kind of treatment was 100% unacceptable, and a horrible judgment call on the Bartender that was on duty at the time. The saddest part to me is that I am a local, I like to support local business. But this kind of thing I cannot get behind.

If you are looking for a nice romantic place to have dinner... do NOT go here! However if you want to watch the game, shoot some pool, enjoy a cold one and grab a bite to eat then this is perfect. Its very dimly lit and the regulars are always here. Not the most modern looking place but its cozy, you feel comfortable here. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Didnt have to wait long at all to place an order but the place wasnt too busy this time (last time I phoned in my order from my table because it was so busy, waitress got a kick out of that) Its a little seedy looking and has an odor of sports playing sweaty workmen but that goes away quickky enough. The food is delicious! No fancy high priced decorated plates here. Just real food served in very generous portions. Priced beyond reasonable. Daily specials that are sometimes more than half price and still generous portions. Offers all day breakfast ALL day, not cut off at 4pm. You want bacon and eggs at 8pm, you got it! I wouldnt recomand bringing younger children here simply because fhe guys rootimg for their team dont always think about language. Many sports teams go here after their games to celebrate their win or gripe about their loss. I believe I have found my go to place for my nacho fix! They KNOW how to make nachos with tins of cheese, veggies and chilli (if you dont want chilli they have a veggie option as well.) Customers are friendly and say hello to everyine, even if they dont know them. I most certainly will be returning. Check them out if you are in the area.

This place is like an unfamous CHEERS , where everybody knows your name and what you drink. They allow kids to come and eat with their parents and even learn to play a game of pool. The crowd is usually respectful of their grammar, keeping it clean and G rated if the younger ones are around. Its truly, Your Local Watering Hole They serve everyday type food at reasonable prices and there is even a Jukebox filled with all genre of music. Occasionally they have Karaoke. All in All, a great place to stop for a pint and bite on the way home from work.
