Too bad they cancelled the karaoke friday nights. Last time I went I was charged $3 to replace fries with salad.

The burger meat seemed to be frozen form the supermarket, the fries were very tasty & crunchy (american style). The bun was fresh. The atmosphere was nice. Service was friendly but not super fast

We were happy the staff was able to accomodate our celiac daughter & they had good knowledge of what was in each food item on the menu. Friendly service. Good fries with dipping sauce. Our only complaint is the beef patties in our burgers were the premade frozen type - not the best pub burger.

The experience overall was okay. Enjoyed the atmosphere. The timing was great for a reservation of a large group while we could see other large groups & small tables to make a full dining room. The servers were very friendly & attentive. The food was hit or miss. If the food was good, it was amazing (beer coated fries, shrimp appetizer...). If the food was bad, it was terrible (the steak was cold & half of it was fat to cut off if you dont enjoy, the nachos were stacked tall but everything under the first layer was bare...). The price for the experience was a bit much & I would not recommend coming here for supper. However, I would definitely recommend & return to have some drinks as their beer & cocktail menu are on point, & grab some snacks/appetizers.
