No matter when I have gone, the service was excellent & the food was great, with only one exception & that was at least ten years ago. My absolute favourite is the fish & chips & although I don't enjoy anything too spicy, their curry sauce - go dip those chips! - is amazing. I also like the cider, which is a nice change from all the other drinks. I go as often as I can, just to relax & enjoy the pubs offerings.
We visited this restaurant last evening, & was told by our friends that they had been there before & service & food was great. Well, not sure what happened over the last couple of weeks or so since they had been there, but the food was not what we expected. Our appetizer came with mostly broken & burnt hard french fries. We complained to the manager & he said it was just the kind of potatoes used. He said he could make them again but they would come out the same. (not happy). The couple that we came with had to return her , french onion soup, as she said it was lots of soggy bread in it & barely any cheese at all. My husband ordered the soup for his meal & said it was jus ok, nothing special. Our friend ordered the briskett sliders, the meat on them was hard & chewy, she also returned them. Our other friend & myself ordered the chicken fingers, mine were ok & his were so crispy & dried out on the inside, he barely touched them. All this being said, the server was pleasant when we could find her. Not a good experience & $109.00 later, have no plans to ever revisit. We drove in from Ontario as our friends said their first experience was so good , what a disappointment....
Terrible food! Irish stew was mostly chunks of fat & gristle. Tuna salad had less than a tablespoon of tuna.
I had to ask four times for the check, twenty minutes later, finally? waste of $43!
Still horrified after being served nachos on top of a pile of someone elses' soggy leftover nachos (from previous order). Staff had done a great job at covering it up... That is, until my friend & I realized, about halfway through. This happened a couple of years ago, hope management & staff have changed since. I would never recommend this place to anyone. I feel disgusted & angry, each & every time I pass by Mckibbins Pub West island.
Première visite aujourd'hui & la Dernière également; poisson du Fish &Chips trop dur & les frites trop cuites noires; poutine avec macaroni, si au moins les frites avaient été à point, j'aurais été satisfaire mais $15. Pour ça, c'est ridicule.
Je dois reconnaître cependant que le service était excellent, bravo les jeunes employés..chou ax cuistôt, il avait du en fumer toute une hier soir pour rater nos deux plats
Today I visited this Pub with a friend for the first time. We sat outside to have a nice lunch on a beautiful hot day. We ordered a vegetarian burger & the flank steak salad which were well prepared & presented. Too bad the chef/kitchen did a good job with the food to have a waitress ruin it. From beginning to end we were very polite, however she acted as if she didn't want to be there & as if we were not welcomed. Just because the food was good I left a good tip (I hope the kitchen is in) because she didn't deserve it. Maybe she would be better off keeping the place clean instead of interacting with customers.
Well , read previous reviews & gave it a shot. The wings were barley cooked with medium taste. The soup served was just luke warm but my dinner was good. Happy hour prices $5 bucks a beer . Probably would not visit the restaurant again. Many better choices within this area
It's a great place to go hang out with friends & grab a drink. The food, however, is really poor quality & & the service in awful. Whenever we order food it takes a long time to get to us & it is rarely still hot. The bouncers are also very rude & I've seen a number of instances where they were out of line & inappropriate with people trying to get in or waiting in line to order. I would not recommend this bar to anyone.
