Great food and a really fun place to come. We often bring our out of town friends. Fish and chips, burgers and wings are especially good. Reasonable prices and good portions. Staff at times could be friendlier depends on when you come.

Went there for an early supper to avoid a lineup. Ordered the kids fish and chips-my son enjoyed it. I ordered mild wings that were actually mild this time and tasty. Tried the mac and cheese and it seemed more like a soup and not worth the almost $15 price. Took half home. The garlic bread that came with it was underdone but not bad. Servers switched and the new one didn't tell me her name or... more

There is nothing more appealing on a hot summer evening than having dinner and drinks on the patio.

It is just as good as when I was a kid, just in a different way. They've kept the old bar and continued the woodsy feel into the main restaurant. The walls are covered in fake moose faces. The bathroom counters have TVs so you don't miss a second of the game. You can open or close the blinds of... more

Meh...mediocre food. Really loud in there so don't plan on having a conversation with anyone except the person next to you. My Chipotle chicken sandwich was a pre-fabricated patty and not seasoned. The spicy Chipotle sauce was the only thing that gave it flavor. The spicy Asian salad dressing was good. Okay service. Cool decor. Food needs some help.

This can be either a two star or five star review depending on what your after. Main point is that is is loud busy and full of distractions.

First off they have wall to wall TVs and each one set to a different channel, so if your distracted easily it can be a problem

Secondly is the volume, generally not a problem for me but the one companion was super quiet and was hard to hear..

The menu is limited and expensive by Kitchener standards. I think this is a place more for drinks in the evening, sitting on the patio with friends and a great atmosphere for socializing. Menu is limited and probably needs to be updated. Parking is plentiful, but often a full house. Less so in the winter. Bar is good, but noisy.
