Reviews of Monkland Grill describe a casual, welcoming spot with attentive staff and large portions, where pizza, poutine, and Greek inspired dishes are often enjoyed and celebrations can feel personal with BYO wine and cake; while many praise flavorful food and friendly service, experiences vary with some dishes inconsistent and service sometimes slow. A rare report mentioned a plastic piece in a slice and a newspaper under a pizza. Overall impressions range from highly positive to cautious, yet the place remains a popular choice for groups and casual meals rather than a romantic date spot.
Surprise find: This place has a Pizza Grill attached! Explains the pizza aroma. But wow, great spot! Chicken souvlaki with fries was a hit, & topped it off with chocolate cake for my boyfriend's birthday! 🎂💕
I celebrated my birthday at Monkland Grill yesterday with a group of about 20 people, & we had such a wonderful & cozy time. I had made a reservation a few days in advance, & the restaurant was fully prepared to welcome us. The staff was incredibly attentive & made us feel very special throughout the evening.
We ordered mostly pizzas, & everything was absolutely delicious. They also allowed us to bring our own wine & the birthday cake, which made the celebration even more personal & enjoyable. All of our guests were very happy with the experience.
Overall, it was a truly lovely evening, & I'm grateful for the great service & warm atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Food. Low end, low quality, not always fresh or consistent.
Service. Average to slow. Somewhat friendly.
Atmosphere. Average, family restaurant style not a place for a date.
Overall I have eaten here multiple times over the years & it's been a hit or miss. Pizza has been good, to average, to outright horrible. This applies to other dishes as well. I will it go into every dish experienced as it's the same story & given pizza is supposed to be their speciality you can imagine the other dishes.
Pricing can be reasonable, however when you factor in the poor quality of food & taste it then comes out to be a costly mistake of your time & money.
Bottom line I will not return & there is far too many better alternatives.
Great restaurant with an extremely diverse menu. I got the pizza québécoise & it was great. Their poutine was really amazing & all their pizzas are great. I highly recommend checking this little spot out if you're nearby. Service was amazing very kind staff. Very nice, calm atmosphere too. I had a great time.
Me & my friend ordered a medium pizza just too wait for 30min+ after the pizza came it was very good but had a piece of plastic in one of the slices & also had a piece of a news paper under the pizza for no purpose? We probably need a health inspector here. But other than that good decorations staff, overall is not that good.

The pizza is great. The food is great. I woukd give it 5 star but there is this bald server who should not be serving. I feel unwelcomed. It's like I feel like I am bothering him or in the way.
I ordered a pizza with pineapple & there's no pineapple... the food was delicious but like I found hairs inside twice. & also they kinda forgot to serve the salad... we waited for very long time
Totally forgot to take photos. Well-rounded pizza /pasta place with a nice patio. Pasta was home made with a decent sauce, but a little bland. The Monkland Sub was PERFECt. Would defintely return for this & the fries were hot, fresh & full of flavour. Pizzas looked & smelled great, but we didn't order - would go back to try the pizzas as well.

Nice service & I really like it. Atmosphere is very relaxing. I asked for some soda(mug), it was cold(appreciate it). I ordered Hawaii/pineaple pizza (silly me) & it was tasty, but I think dough could be better so I think it's like 4.8, but you should try it. Approved :)
