Ollee’s is a fantastic local pub. I had a staff event here and the service that we received from Teneesha was awesome. TENeesha gets a 10/10 for her customer service. Price is good, food is great, the Teneesha and the owner are amazing.
Came in for breakfast during weekday...this place is 5 star. Jessica, our waitress was extremely friendly and very well experienced. Hard to find these days. Food was excellent, coffee was very good, quick service, bar pub atmosphere, so not exactly quiet, but not noisy either. Easy 5 stars...no brainer. Will be back to try wing special. And back for breakfast next time in town....Thank you...
I've been coming here consistently for months getting wings and other apps for $9 after 9pm. They are always so good. Servers do there job very well. Caesar wraps are also great. Potato skins have very yummy bacon bits
WARNING: SIDES NOT INCLUDED Restaurant staff didnt want to be there, wasnt really social. Food came out late, bland and overpriced. 3.50$ pop drinks were flat. Charging 14-20$ for burgers without sides Adds 3.50$ for fries on the side. Never coming back. Shame that a restaurant with such potential ruins itself with attitude and stinginess.
My husband, brother-in-law and I just stopped in for dinner. We were not impressed. We got menus right away, but it took about 10 minutes before we could order drinks. There seemed to be some confusion between the two waitresses over who was supposed to take our order, as one was supposed to be getting off soon. It felt a little weird. She said something like, "Why doesn't the other girl just take your order?" We ordered coconut shrimp to start. There was six, which seemed pretty skimpy for $10.99. My husband ordered the lasagna, BIL had the Canadian burger. I asked if the steak stir fry came with mushrooms, and was told that it did, so that's what I ordered. When the drinks arrived, my husband and BIL both said that their pops tasted flat and watered-down. After the shrimp, we waited for at least 30 minutes to get our meals. No one came to check on us, and I had to flag our waitress down for pop refills, since we were getting thirsty. My steak stir fry was not only mushroom-free, but completely tasteless. The steak was also tough. After such a long wait, I wasn't willing to send it back, so I doused the stir fry in condiments to make it edible. BIL's burger arrived with fries, which was the side that he requested- and that we took for granted was part of the menu price, as it would be in most restaurants. I asked about the lack of mushrooms, but nothing was done about it until the bill came (15 minutes after we had finished our meals). The waitress reduced the bill by $2, as mushrooms were apparently now treated as an "extra". We also noticed a $3.49 charge for the fries with the burger, which seemed completely unreasonable. Needless to say, I cannot recommend this restaurant, and we will not be back.
I came in tonight to unwind after work, enjoy the karaoke, eat a nice meal and have a nice smoke outside. I had 2 Pepsis with the garlic bread and overall things went well. However, things took a turn when I went to have a smoke outside. Since my party had cannabis we went to my car at the far side of the parking lot, as to be respectful to the other patrons. My server followed us out and accused us of sneaking in a liquor bottle, drinking it in the car and said I was cut off. when I tried to explain and show her my smoking pipe, she started getting aggressive and told me to leave. That is why I felt the need to leave this review, this would be the first time I have been accused of lying by restaurant staff. That young woman ruined my night because she was loud and impatient, even after I ate and left her a 60% tip, she seemed unhappy from our first interaction. I wasn’t going to be rude to get her attention. So I had to leave and text my party what had happened. So embarrassing 😔
The 28 August. It would have been nice if the bartender-waitress didn't take the liberty of keeping our change. I waited for half hours then asked for my change. She tried to make me feel guilty for asking. I didn't know she was allowed to keep 45% tip. After insisting, she came back holding the money so tight in her hand trying to keep it. When she finally gave it back, it wasn't the full amount. I asked her what was the price. She gave me a different price. I mention it wasn't the price you mentioned before. She said it was her tips. I said a good waitress gives the change back and it's up to the customer how much we decide to tip. She reply I'm not a waitress, I'm a bartender, look around. I looked around and talked to different customers. They replied that this had happened to them too. I ask why no one reported her to the owner. One replied I mentioned it in the past but she always does it. I ask who was the owner . The lady mentioned that he was not there at the moment and would be back in a week.
Breakfast review — I know right, but it has to be said this is probably one of the better breakfasts I've had in St Thomas. Unexpected and impressive. Panzarote is great too.
Go here often with my hockey team. Great food, professional friendly staff. Cajun wings are spectacular!
Great food for such a small spot. Their lake perch is really great as is their panzerotti. They also have amazing burgers that are made on amazing local buns. Definitely a great spot to check out.
Great neighborhood pub, with great food, fair prices, and fantastic staff!

Disappointed by Toronto MAPLE LEAFS
I went into Ollies because I heard that a very good friend of mine who i hadnt seen in many many years was a regular customer there. I tried talking to the 2 barmaids who were working that Sunday Feb 11th and explaining the situation but they werent very nice or accommodating. They were actually rather rude so my cousin and I had one beer and left. Wheelchair accessibility: I was with my cousin who is in a wheelchair. We had no problems moving about inside the bar or the ladies room
Excellent food, great service.
Love Karaoke with KG! The servers and bartenders are great too!
Love, love, love the fish and chips!! Pool tables and karaoke, lots of tvs to watch sports games. Friendly, attentive staff! Food
Amazing food and great Staff
Best breakfasts are at the local pub with billiards. Old school proper with drip coffee.
Excellent burgers with home-style cut fries that were perfectly seasoned; our server was fantastic!
An incredible local watering hole. Have a patio facing the road and a fun karaoke night. The best part is the food. Have had most menu items and have yet to have one I didnt find good. Love to support these folks as they offer great value and great neighborhood folks. You wont be disappointed! Parking: Lots of parking just steps from the entrance or patio.
A nice surprise. This place is a good little bar with some great food, pool tables and fantastic service. Their location sort of hides them , but they are a hidden gem. Definitely worth checking out . Take advantage of their burger day specials too, they were fantastic.
Live music!!!! Remember that??? Tasty reasonably priced food!!! Remember that??? Friendly staff, there to actually serve you!!! Remember that??? Ollees remembers! Great night out with my husband and (young adult) kids. Great to see younger people out in public socializing with each other,
Enjoyed a variety of food and drinks on the patio around 2p when it was fairly slow. Inside also looked very nice with a couple pool tables. We all had a good time and are all excited to come back and check it out during the friday and saturday nights! Food
I had my birthday party at Ollees. The food was excellent.They served everyone at once. We all got to eat together. . Karaoke was great and dancing was fun. Was a fun night thank you to Brian the owner the cook the two servers and to Kevin who provided the music.
Awesome place loved it
Food is good and atmosphere is fun
Great food and service. Nice place for a quiet drink.
The food was great the best nacho in town! Service was slow however the waitress was working alone and had a big table and had to serve outside and inside. The bar itself is unpolished but very friendly staff and food. Food
Nothing fantastic but ok expensive pitcher of beer
We had a wonderful spaghetti dinner last evening. Staff were friendly. Would recommend! Wheelchair accessibility: We had no issues getting into the establishment or seating with wheelchair. Washroom equipped with a handrail also.
Food is always excellent whenever Im here. The service is always wonderful as well
What can I say Brian is an amazing owner, hes always got a smile on his face when I see him and his staff are great also. Its always a fun time even with the kids. They really enjoy the poutine. I personally love it all. I have never had a bad expirence even when I had been drinking a little to much lol Thanks for the great service Brian and staff you all rock!

Really nice place, great service and food is good.
Delicious homemade burgers. Friendly atmosphere, and very lively kereoke. Your traditional round the corner pub. Quite Sweet that these places still exist after the hard times from the pandemic.
The pizza looked and tasted like the pizza came from a make it yourself kit. The wings were dry ( my mistake for asking for Extra crispy ) . Only good thing was the beer and the service
Good
Great food, great atmosphere & the owner is awesome

Delicious food and really good staff. Definitely recommend.
Best wings and best staff
Love the food and daily specials!! Very good service, selections!
It might be the best burger and fries I have had. Perfect flavour, fresh bun and condiments. Fries were perfect. Hot, not greasy, and crispy on the outside. Service was amazing.
I ordered fish and chips, the fish portion was really small, prices justified what I got I guess... Waitress and the people were nice. We played pool for a loonie while we waited...not bad overall.
Great food. Good prices and good atmosphere .
Delicious food for a pretty fair price
The staff are very polite, and the foods not too bad. Pool tables are some of the better in town. Unfortunately some of the regulars are older folks, who clearly drive under the influence. Not a place for folks under 40, unless you enjoy hearing drunk old folks telling you stories you hadnt asked for.
We decided to give this place a try for our Friday night out and were not disappointed at all! The restaurant seemed moderately busy and the two servers were hustling the whole time to make sure the place was receiving prompt service. We ordered the small nachos which was quite large for a small, a large fries well done, 1lb of medium wings, and a small pizza to share. Everything was incredible, I can t get over how good the wings were. Everything was fairly priced and the portion sizes were bang on for those of you with an appetite. Highly recommend this place, we ll be back for more nights out once hockey season rolls around. Would especially like to thank our server, Jess, who I actually went to high school with and didn t realize it until she mentioned it. Your service was impeccable, you were beyond polite, checking in with us on our meal and making sure we were good for drinks. One of the best server s we ve had this year, my personal gratitude to you for keeping an eye on us, and making our night out so enjoyable. Thank you :)
Best Nachos in St.Thomas.
An awesome place ..had the deep fried panzerotti OMG so so delicious a definate return for another meal .our server was totally awesome too very friendly ..totally recommend
Not a place I d go to a second time. Draught beer tasted like bleach, Ribs were dry, couldn t cut into them and were covered with a BBQ sauce that tasted more like ketchup. Baked potato had odd texture, inedible. The vegetables were cold and hard ( I mean HARD - not cooked). They did not get any part of my meal right.
Friendly staff and amazing food!
Love ollies great food better people
ANSWER YOUR PHONE
Good food and beer and customer service. Beef dip sandwich changed my life
My first burger at Olllees and it wont be my last. Homemade, super fresh bun and the fries are some the best homemade fries around. You will not be disappointed!!!
Never disappointed. Great service great food. Love the party platter.
May not have ambiance, but it is clean, comfortable and affordable. The food is really good, love the daily specials especially the chicken wings(I believe Mondays), Taco Tuesdays(2 for 5 bucks) and South of the Border soup (on Fridays).The best sweet potato fries! Say hi to our favourite waitress, Jess who is always welcoming and efficient.
Great friendly staff & customers.....local bar atmosphere with delicious varied foods ... And all for reasonable $ !!!
Owner cares about his customers. New Years 2019 was awesome. So sorry we got there later in the evening. Still had a great time. Thanks for another great year of service from the Owner and staff.
Great staff and food and service. A warm, inclusive atmosphere. Very fun Karaoke.
Played some pool and chatted with friends waitress in there in really good
Friendly owner, but the place became a dive; rude people and rude staff, but what more can be expected? its a gross bar filled with drunks after all.

Great service and friendly atmosphere, decently ample seating both tables and bar. Food and drinks prices are very fair with a good selection of both. Pool tables available as well, which are free tuesday and Thursday with a purchase. Ive been told they also have open mic nights as well. Would definitely recommend for a casual night out.
