Oh my goodness!! So good! The burgers were hot and juicy! Even the fries were hot! Crispy and salted to perfection! Great service! Will definitely go again!

My Dad and I went last night to grab a quick drink and bite to eat before the Guelph Storm game. We were sat at a table in the back which was extremely noisy being beside the washrooms, and the dish pit.My Dad ordered a burger and I ordered a poutine. We waited about 25 minutes for our food to arrive and once it did, I second guessed my order. I've never seen a poutine where the gravy is puddled underneath the french fries. The cheese curds looked like they were thrown on afterwards as they hadn't melted either. The meat patty in the burger was also burnt. When the waitress came back we brought this to her attention and sent the food back. She spoke to her manager who was gracious enough to take the food off our bill

This place is beautiful. The food was very good, service was excellent, and very reasonably priced. I'll be back.

Waited an hour and a half for our food. Chicken fingers and fries for the kids, club wrap and steak sandwich for the adults. Food tasted great. Terrible service. Our server completely ignored us most of the night, with no apologies for the lateness of the food. Completely unacceptable.

Met family in Guelph for dinner here as we are both from out of town , I'm sure if we were locals we would know not to eat here ..6 of us and we all left hungry as none of us ate our dinner ! And even beer on the warmer side Ribs cold, wings so over cooked u can't chew same as the chicken fingers veggie burger burnt , and the fajita bowl was the smallest ever seen with a drop of terraki sauce and they charge $18 for it what a disappointmentOur server was extremely slow in getting drinks and we all sat starring at each other when none of us touched our meal as server hadn't checked in we waited 25 min then one of us went an found her outfront standing there , do yourself a favor stay home save your money or go to another restaurant! Although we did tip the server pretty good , we realized later we shouldnt have been so generous as our service was also awful. Lesson Learned Total Disappointment won't return and will not recommend

One of my favorite spots in downtown Guelph. My go-to is the beef dip, it's always delicious. Their feature cocktails are a nice change.

Overall food was good and tasty. Service friendly and polite. Went there at 7 pm on a Saturday night and after placing the order, got told my dish, one of 4 was already out of stock. A bit disappointing but second choice was also pretty good. Apple mojito was sadly quite bad and do not recommend that.

I’ve been here previously and enjoyed typical fried bar food and enjoyed it. After a recent Guelph Storm game and having heard how good the burgers are here my niece and I decided to go. Let me assure you - do not get the burgers. I don’t know if it was because of the game knowing they would be busy and they precooked a bunch but they were hard and dry. The waitress was busy understandably which is fine but I didn’t complain until after I had eaten which I realize now was a mistake. However, I was able to show the other partial burger. The black edges and hard pieces my niece had eaten around. No discount was given (I only asked for half price on one burger although both were awful) but because I didn’t complain right away I was told no - although no one was around to complain to! I would have happily written a 5 star review and called the bad burgers a one off if I hadn’t paid full price. Bad burgers. Service was fine for the situation (busy after a storm game) but customer service is awful when a complaint received. Our sides the poutine and Cesar salad were great. However, we Won’t be back.
