Just an FYI, the reviewer ‘Hodgydude’ is actually the owner, Mark Hodge.
Never Again. Over-priced! $14.99 for 8 average size chicken wings. $16 for Mac n cheese that lacked cheese and tasted like a dirty dish cloth. Hair in my coffee. Table at booth was too far from seat causing one to have to sit awkwardly through entire meal. Sound issues with live music. Weird fishy odour throughout entire restaurant. Horrible service….forgot my beer. Forgot coffees. Took forever to clear table and ask about dessert, which I wanted. Four menu items were not available and had substitutes. The only cool thing was the old car that’s a dining booth. I thought when I walked in I’d bring my son back to sit at that car table. However I will never go back. Cost for one couple $96 plus a tip that was not earned.
Disney Land scheme, slow service. Loud sports bar, high pricing and so so food. Dcor is very Disney like.
Very Impressive, about time someone did something different!!!. Went in tonight, had amazing service and food. Its good to be different and live outside of the box. Cool theme tying in with Pulp Fiction, this is definitely a place that can offer something for everyone from the sports fan, to good food, a private room for meetingds, a whiskey bar, impressive draft selection, and cool proprs and vibes. Wherever you sit, will give you a different site line and experience. One of the biggest stages in the Hamilton area and the sound in here has been figured out. Awesome band line up and available to you on their webiste for months ahead. Great service, food, and friendly staff, and the owner even stopped by to say hi. Hats off to the chef, best meal i have had in a while. Prices were middle of the road for the great quaility that you get. This is a place for date night for my wife and i, a place that i can bring the family aswell. We will be back again and again, We need to support local people with local businesses.
Great place, good food. Visited with my Wife and son tonight, service was great, we really liked the layout, found the place comfortable, we both had the royale burgers, we both agreed they were excellent, will definitely be back
There’s more wrong than right about his place. But can be fixed. This place has no real Identity or theme to give it atmosphere.Is it a biker bar hang out with motor cycles hanging in the restaurant?Is it supposed to be some kind of diner with the car booth in the middle of the restaurant.Or is supposed to be a quaint place to enjoy a meal by the field stone fireplace.or is it a sports bar with TV’s everywhere broadcasting sports. And an air hokey game in the middle of the dinning room.When we first arrived there only about 10 people in the place and we notice how noisy it was in there as voices would carry from the bar to the dinning room area,The TV’s were playing and there was music playing at the same time competing with each other while people had to raise their voices to talk above all this din.The restaurant has no acoustical insulation to dampen the noise as it has hard concrete floors and hard drywall ceiling and large pane glass windows all hard surfaces to bounce noise back at the customer trying to carry on a conversation. As more people arrived it was almost impossible to carry on a conversation.As for the menu it is limited as I asked if they had any grilled fish and that was not available, the waiter offered the special a a steak dinner with mashed and squash. I said no to that as I don’t like squash.He recommended a 12 oz veal chop with mushrooms, mashed potatoes with Stilton cream sauce for $24.My wife ordered the Scallop and prawn risotto for $24.I ordered my chop medium rare and to keep it on the rare side, the waiter tried to tell me to order it medium because it was really tender, I said no I wanted it medium rare. I said to my wife after he left that’s strange why would he insist when the menu you says grilled to your liking. Is it that thin they can’t do what they are promising?It took a while for the food to arrive but we were in no hurry.Our meals arrived hot and presented well on the plate.The waiter had dropped the plates and did not return to check on us.My first impression was there is no way that is a 12 oz chop 8-10 oz tops, second, guess what’s on my plate a nice big slice of baked squash. (After I had said no to squash)My wife’s plate had two scallops and three small prawns a bit meager for a $24 plate considering this is just a road side pub were not talking down town. The scallops were sandy and gritty but everything else was very tasty and fine.My meal the chop was grilled medium not what I had ordered, it was thin as I expected it might be.The sauces and the seasoning was so over salted it made my mouth pucker. The mashed potatoes over cooked and watery. In spite of all this I chose to eat it and not send it back as I was hungry and didn’t want to wait any longer. I’m not sure if another waitress over heard me saying our waiter has not come around to check on us but she came over and asked how’s everything and I told her I was unsatisfied with my meal. She went and got the waiter who was out having a smoke as he returned smelling of cigarettes.I told him as well and we did not get around to telling him about my wife’s gritty scallops and he left and came back saying he would take 50% off my meal only.We decided to to stay and check out the band that was coming in to play so we ordered a couple more drinks, a lot of people came in as is turned out were all friends and relatives of the band. This included young children and tweens running around the bar squealing playing air hockey in an adult environment. This place was already noisy enough without the uncontrolled kids making noise.The band played their first song and the kids got up dancing and jumping around and we said holly crap this is getting to be like someones wedding we couldn’t take any more.Bottom LineAtmosphere sucks and is confusing not sure who this restaurant caters to. Too noisy Need to do something about acoustics.Over priced menu for road side pub. Kitchen can’t execute the menu.Wife had two glasses of wine and I had two draft beers, no deserts and after being discounted $12 for my meal and a 15% tip we paid $90 for a meal at best a rural roadside pub. Not good value for the money.RecommendationsPick a theme for your restaurant atmosphere to give it an Identity.Match it to your location and clientele.Scale menu to just really good affordable pub grub and not try to get to fancy. Good food with consistent quality will keep people coming. Word of mouth spreads this news fast.Do something about noise, your managers should be in control of competing noises from TV and music.Get some sound absorbing baffles to hang, thicker curtains, perhaps a partition between bar and restaurant.Raise the partition between the Bar and booths for sound control and privacy as the bar patrons sit higher and look over into the booths.If you stick with the bikes and cars install rubber floor it will do a lot to absorb sound.Have a policy for children and under age for the adult environment, such as family section, no minors in bar area or after 9 pm. this will give clientele options to bring family or know you will be in an adult only environment under conditions of the policy..Will I return? not likely unless it improves.
Food unimpressive – won’t be back. First off, something positive. We were a table of five and the service was good. The menu sounded promising (not your standard menu fare) but the menu items chosen (wild boar chili, curry chicken and the burger) did not deliver on taste. I had the curry chicken – tasted rather bland with only a few chunks of chicken. Lots of rice but little meat/veggies on top. Dish came lukewarm as well. Will not be returning.
