An owner with his heart into it!

Steve the owner has a strong commitment to good quality food and entertainment...far beyond pub fare, all made with care and a twist...his dedication to music is equaled, some of the finest talents across the country and more play there at this very intimate setting. Check out www.zapp-productions.com for another independent dedicated to music first.

Sooo goood
August 07, 2014

I've been here many times and never been disappointed. It's a popular spot so if you're a large group it's best to make reservations. You have to try their deep-fryed dill pickles!

Food and Music - A Great Combination
August 04, 2014

When we are in the Picton area, we usually try and get to the Acoustic Grill for dinner and some live music. The hamburger I had was excellent, the meat locally grown and cooked on the grill just right. A great selection of local wines and beers, this is an intimate setting for live music. Be sure to make reservations.

Great little bar and grill
August 04, 2014

Super hamburger and chips. It's tucked away down an alley but definitely look for it. Service was good and it was inexpensive. We'll surely return there when next in Picton. Since we were there for lunch only, we didn't get a chance to experience the live entertainment but I understand it's very good. Give it a try!

Great atmosphere but food only ok
August 04, 2014

Burger was great but the salads are to be avoided, just a bowl of lettuce and the fries appear to be straight out of a cheap bag of frozen fries.
Although the food was not so good, the actual place is great, friendly service and great entertainment.

On my visit to prince edward county, I ended up eating here twice. On my first visit, I was with friends and family. I ordered the steak sandwich with their chips ($2 extra for fries?!). The sandwich was okay but the chips were over done. My wife had the burger and fries and thought they were very good.

The menu is pretty simple and the food was well prepared, arrived in a timely manner, and more importantly was a reasonable serving.

Come for the music, not the food
July 19, 2014

Typical pub menu. Nachos were mediocre; burger was good, but hardly the best-ever as our server enthusiastically promoted. (She was actually a great server and can't fault her at all; appreciated her attentiveness.) Wouldn't hurry back unless I was making a point to catch a music set. And that is worth going for.

What a surprise
July 01, 2014

We arrived mid afternoon and after getting installed we wanted to have a bite to eat.
At first couldn't find the place as it is tucked away... but it was really worth it the effort of finding it.
I had the steak, and the kids had burgers...
The service was great, the food was excellent.

Can't Wait to go Back
June 28, 2014

This little out of the way Pub was suggested to us by the people at Barley Days Brewery. It was great. Friendly wait staff and the food was very yummy. The four of us each had a different sandwich/burger and all was delicious. Lots to eat at a reasonable cost. Like I said.....Can't wait to go back.

This was our second time at Acoustic Grill and it was just as good as the first time....the burgers are by far some of the best we have ever had, especially the Acoustic Jam Burger, the deep fried pickles are pretty tasty as well.

The Acoustic Jam burger was really good - the cheddar my husband added to it was thick and melty and it was good aged stuff. The burger was really good.

My friend told me that I had to try the signature burger with the blue cheese topping because it was the best burger he'd ever had.

Best atmosphere in Picton
February 28, 2014

The Acoustic Grill is a must for anyone coming to Prince Edward County. The food is great and the staff is always friendly. I would suggest the homemade burger and the tasty in house brew 'J45'. Steve is as personable an owner as I've ever seen and the Grill epitomizes his outgoing nature. 5 stars!
