Great place, cheap drinks, cheap food but still good quality, friendly, fast and good service, the all day breakfast is really good I recommend the breakfast burrito !

July 23, 2024

We sat at the patio which was alright and we got drinks and some of the drinks had questionable things in them maybe part of sandwiches. We got the pizza, fish and chips, and fried chicken sandwich. To start off they were out of pineapples and no clue what green peppers were. The pizza came and there was about at least a jar of olives on the pizza and it was a little burnt. The fish and chips were ok but biting into it was like biting into a jar of vaseline because of the litre of oil in the fish it was also mushy. the fries were pretty good they were battered. the coleslaw was weird and yellow and didn’t have much of a taste but the little bit of the taste was pretty bad. The fried chicken sandwich looked pretty good except for that there was some. marinara sauce that was really off putting. In review the food was bad but the service was nice.

July 23, 2024

Pizza was very burnt and had about 4 pieces of pepperoni and enough olives to feed a family of 4. Not to mention the server didn't know what a green pepper was. My friends drink had unidentified floating food in it and his chicken sandwich was disliked. Not my cup of tea.

★★★

Well I don't usually do these like this. I waited half a hr for a take out sandwich . That seemed to be a problem because it was a in house special. I work and it was my lunch hr.. There were loud drunks. Who were definitely bothering the waitress.. I will not be back

The quintessential local sports bar. Not very big but everyone is very friendly and prices are very reasonable.

I recently dined at this restaurant and had the beef steak, which was delicious. My wife opted for the fish and fries, which, in all honesty, was quite average. The ambiance is cozy, making it a great spot for a casual hangout with some beer and good food.

This long standing neighborhood pub exudes old school cool. Iconic old hocky greats poster adorn the walls give it a sports retro feel. Very reasonable prices for their tap beer which compliment the solid pub fare. Dave the owner is always on hand to give a friendly hello. We look forward to going back.

Honestly, Busters is a great example of the local bar. The food is consistently good across the menu, the bar is well stocked with the staples, the pricing is great value for money, and the servers are pleasant & professional. And for those with kids, the staff are very accommodating should you take the family for brunch/lunch/dinner.

I was looking on google for something to eat and I found this place which was Terrible. Let s start with the food I ordered wings and fries the wings were air fried with no taste what s so ever and barely any sauce we asked for barbecue and honey garlic my boyfriend had to add ketchup all over the chicken just to be able to eat it when I told the waitress she immediately had an attitude telling me she cannot do anything about it .I asked for the bill she took the soft drinks off the bill but I paid for the food I wouldn t recommend this place the people were so loud TERRIBLE.

We went for brunch with my baby and my parents. Sat on the porch. Breakfast, 3 eggs, was sooo affordable! Homemade fried hash-browns. Toast. Bacon or sausage. All for 6.99. Who could ask for anything more? Coffee was half decent. Parking was available along the street for free (week day). We will totally be back!

Great spot if youre a heavy drinker who wants a slightly upper scale pub in the upper beaches. Food is good and they have a wide selection of drinks. If youre a non-drinker its probably a good place to steer clear of. If I could rate it 3.5 I would.

Had the taxi drop off us of here after the Tash Sultana concert at #HISTORY as it was the only open pub between the venue and our hotel. We had an absolute blast. There were 3 locals and one one Man from Germany in the area for a wedding. It was my 44th birthday. Alana the bartender was amazing, fun and along with the locals including Jack who has been coming here since 1974 it was the best end to an amazing weekend. We will make it a point to stop it here every time we are in the area. Thank all of you Jason and Jack.

First time ordering from here, Order placed through Doordash. We ordered Wings- Honey Garlic was delicious, wish the 2Lb Hot and Honey had a little more sauce, disappointed cause it stated on the menu that it was to include Hand Cut Fries this Item was Missing, Caeser salad yum wish there was more for the price point was also Missing Lemon wedge. Overall, delicious but should be aware of quality and what comes with the order, paid $23 for 2Lb Wings served with Hand Cut Fries*Missing* and Veggies, We will give them another chance and hopefully the next order all items will arrive. What we Ordered, including the description from Busters By The Bluffs Menu what comes with your order; -2 Pound Wings Served with Hand Cut Fries and Veggies -Wings ONLY 1 Pound Served Veggies. Your choice of Sauce -Caeser Salad Romaine lettuce, bacon bits, croutons, and lemon wedge.

If you want to have a Tostada for a pizza.. sure.. this would be the right place to go. Dont ever order pizza personal here. Its very misleading, and obviously nothing close to pizza. Waste of your money though. What kind of people try to sell tostada for a pizza? try the burger or philly steak maybe. but I dont think they have a legit cook or management or anything which needs to change if they want to attract legit new customers than local. Never going back there, ever.

It is exactly the cold beer, games on and patio with excellent servers who will make your food and serve you. Great locals and prices are good and they have an old school music machine you can put quarters in and choose the tunes you want. So cool!

Recently went for the first time and I was very glad I did. Not much to look at from the outside and the place is not big, but the food and service were fantastic. More of a bar than a restaurant, but it does not disappoint. The usual pub food done well and a few daily specials that will give you food envy. The prices are also good. The price of a drink is the lowest Ive seen for a while.

The Wings must have been plucked off the backs of Angels SkiptheDishes is offering $0 delivery right now, and I had to say it was worth trying. The chicken was tender and meaty. Their version of hot and honey is off the hook. The pub vibes were immediate upon quick delivery. The garden salad did not impress anyone, not even the pet gerbil or our beagle (who is a garbage disposal). Definitely a big win for me. Well priced, huge portions and proper doneness on the meat. Well done my friends! I look forward to visiting soon!
