We were in town for the night and ordered through Skip the Dishes. The burgers were oversized, juicy, and delicious. We would highly recommend it, worth every penny. We can't wait to go back and try it again when we can eat inside.

Great place and atmosphere, especially for being in downtown Belleville.Staff is super friendly, food in my opinion is what you would usually get at a Bar with a couple cool and different things you wouldn't find at your typical Bars gets the job done is flavorful, good comfort food!Always has something going on, whether it's an Open Mic or Karaoke. It's always a fun time down there with good people!!! 10/10

Worthwhile place to go back to.We were the first customers of the day as they were opening. Friendly staff, even though they were busy getting ready. The owner chatted with us about some of the changes they were planning for the upcoming breakfast menu, as they were working on transitioning from their summer menu to winter menu.We had both of the daily specials, a breakfast poutine and a brisket egg sandwich. They were delicious, and SIGNIFICANT portions (plenty of potatoes). We didn't fully finish both dishes. Not as overly salty as what others have said. The brisket was just a touch on the dry side, but it was blended in with a decent sauce and egg on the sandwich that made it work well. I also had my eye on a reuben going in... so I think I had it in my mind to see a stack of smoked meat on the poutine... but I wouldn't have needed it because it was already quite a bit to eat.Overall, it was a great experience, with respectable and interesting dishes compared to standard breakfast fare. Likely will make more regular trips there!

Came for a show advertised to start at 8pm. It's now 9:32 and nothing yet. Service was very slow. I was asked if I wanted another beer by the same person twice and still waited for one, even though I sat at the bar. Burger was not bad, but the fries were cooked in tge same oil as the fish, and were dry. Not tasty at all. Reheated most likely. I won't be back.

The owner is nice and it’s nice being able to see some live singing and karaoke. But after attending now four times I don’t think I will be back. The service is absolutely horrendous. Comes to the table once every two hours?? No food after nine?? During a karaoke night, they told me food was closed, but continue to push alcohol to guest, saying shots were only four dollars. Why are you serving people alcohol without a food option? I literally have to chase a server around just to get a drink. Customers have to stand outside of the kitchen waiting for the servers to stop talking. And this stands all three servers that have served me.

I'm torn. Great flavours but could be cooked better. We started with the puffy chips as recommended by our server and they were so fun, colourful and crackly. We got the solo platter and a side of Mac and cheese, which was a good size serving. First bite of the mac was just okay but as I continued eating it, I realized it was actually so cheesy and good. The platter we got in included ribs, pulled pork, a drumstick, and a couple chicken wings corn bread, coleslaw and some fries. The sauces they used were so delicious but the ribs and pulled pork were somewhat tough/ dry. We ordered a side of gravy when we received our food and halfway through the meal, the server was kind enough to let us know it was still coming. We finally received it when we were done eating, and it was not a gravy we enjoyed at all. Very thin and flavorless. The service was very pleasant. I would definitely try it again

I really, really wanted to like this place, but it's lacking in a lot of things s that could be improved easily.The food is basically quick fixes, burgers, fries, wings... the burgers were dry like they were mashed into the grill repeatedly; the fries were basic food truck fries. We had a hot dog and onions rings as well, they were way too salty. Gotta give it to the quality of ingredients though, it's not cheapo discount ingredients, but it lacks the touch of an experienced line cook.Service was slow, but not all to the servers fault. It was a full house with bar and full kitchen with only 2 servers with some expereince. Food was very slow to come out, but drinks came quick.With a full bar,cocktails, and shots menu, I was expecting much more. My first cocktail was watered down, and instead of lime juice, they used lime cordial (major bartender mistake - so maybe the bartender isn't experienced or the owners are not providing ingredients). Second drink didn't even have liquor. Quality control is lacking. Should have stuck to wine or bottled beer.The vibe is great though, friendly, welcoming, local hangout, good diversity of people... but it's lacking finishing. They're having special nights like comedy, drag, karaoke... which are wonderful opportunities, but I'm hoping for better quality of food and bar service next time.Comedy night was alright, a few comics from Toronto, felt more like open mic comedy night. I think they were a bit confused by the rural-not-so-rural crowd.I will try this place again, only because I really want to like it... but for me to give a better review or visit regularly, some changes will need to be made.

Came for breakfast and the Saturday open mic. Service was excellent. What was upsetting was our treatment from the fellow in charge of the open mic. After we moved to a different table to accommodate his gear and helping to film his performance, he had the audacity to tell us to go sit in the back of the venue as our talking was disturbing and he couldn't remember his own lyrics. We were not loud, merely carrying on a conversation while we enjoyed our breakfast. I wonder if he would have the nerve to say this if it were 3 men sitting there and not 3 women. Doubtful.Shameful behavior. Three people in the audience and all three left after his diatribe. Maybe he should bring a bloody lyric sheet next time if his memory is fading.Sadly, I will not be back to your restaurant because of this.Further note...after response from owner, I am upgrading my review. It is not the fault of the restaurant , just a jerk who was having a bad day.

Went here with a small group of people for dinner on a slow night. We ordered a combo platter for 5-6 people. It read definitely more than enough for all of us! Food was okay. Chicken and wings were best, I would have expected better pulled pork and ribs for a smokehouse though. They did have some of the best onion rings and their fries were great too.The owner was super helpful and went out of his way to talk to us before and after leaving to make sure that we were satisfied but unfortunately our server wasn't that great.

Our first visit today and loved it. The owner was so friendly and when he heard that we had drove 1.5 hrs he sent us on our way with a little care package. The wings were the largest we have ever had & the fries were real. We saw others food being delivered and immediately said “We will be back”. The vibe is awesome and you could see the beginning of a patio being built. Can’t wait to go again!
