This is one of Edmonton's best fine dining experiences. But a recent visit enlightened me to it's No-Kids policy! The food and liquor selections are great and they do offer daily specials. Occasionally live music on the weekends is offered. Great 1st date restaurant with, I believe, some GF options available. We'll worth a visit! read more

Wow, what a sweet little place this is! We had intended to do something more elaborate (like travel) for our 35th anniversary, but we have a sick pet and then my husband was ill for a few days, so we ended up staying close to home. I had read some reviews about this place and wanted to check it out. Husband had the steak sandwich and a root beer as the DD; I had some buffalo wings and one of their smoked Old Fashioneds, the one with the moonshine called the Sherlock. This was one of the best Old Fashioneds I've ever had. Super smooth and delicate flavour; the smoke part was interesting but really not the critical piece for me. The wings were excellent and came with a not very flavourful ranch dressing and a few carrot sticks. Still, I would definitely go back for these wings. Husband had added=cost gravy for his fries and mushrooms for the steak. He remarked that he liked the fried onion strings on top. I had a couple of the fries and they were the coated type that I think should be banned forever, but he was fine with them. The gravy was reasonable without being memorable. We had the sticky toffee dessert to share and the server was kind enough to take a photo for us to remember the special day. The decor overall is pleasant resto pub style with seating arranged to allow for private conversation. The staff all seem focused and professional in their work. Overall, agree with all the positive reviews and I think it might be worthwhile to return and explore more of the menu. read more

Cork & Barley - Comfort Food Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Went here again with a friend who wanted to try this place out. The atmosphere is nice. It is like being in an Irish pub. Service this time wasn't as good as previous visits. We had to flag the server a few times to fill our water or get condiments. I did my usual Buffalo Cauliflower and Fish and Chips. Friend went with the Yorkshire Beef Burrito. Food was a little slow to get out. But it was consistent. I enjoyed my usual Buffalo Cauliflower and Fish and Chips as much as did previously. The cauliflower was well seasoned, and the batter was perfectly coated on. Fish light and flakey and the fries are well cooked. My friend seemed to really enjoy hers as well. This is probably the nicest pub in North East Edmonton. So if you are craving a pint and fried food this is where you should go. read more

So we left. Owner came out to help but unfortunately didn't want to deal with the waitress again. read more

On Monday we had the special of BBQ bacon burger. The burger patties were so over cooked and dry and tasted old. The bacon had an old freezer burnt taste to it. The only saving grace was the fries Our waitress was awesome and very in gagin. As for ambiance it was good, open and comfortable. Washrooms were clean. read more

Great Food, Atmosphere and Service! Reasonably priced and good portions. I really enjoyed the Chicken Feta Wrap (but could have used a bit more feta on the inside of the wrap), and my hubby enjoyed the Ancho Scrambler. The margarita tower was really cool, with the dragon fruit being the best flavour. Definitely a good spot for a bite. read more

Woo hoo! First to add and review this place. I drove by it as I was shopping in the area and noticed the old Bo Diddleys was now called Cork ę Barley. We decided to try this place for date night (pickup only right now). We ordered the delicious Wachos and the Pot Roast. These were both soooooo delicious with great portions! The Wachos ($17) are waffled fries, queso, banana peppers, beef, tomatoes, sour cream and salsa. My Pot Roast ($18) came with generous slices of beef, mashed potatoes, carrots in a Yorkshire bowl and smothered in tasty thick gravy. Customer service was great. The gentleman at the pickup counter was very friendly. We will be back and hopefully to dine in so we have have some beers! read more

I booked a reservation for 10 people just over 2 weeks ago. Some of the fam is coming from our of town. Someone from this "establishment' just phoned to say they are closed that day. They had over 2 weeks to let me know this. If this is how they run this place, I'd rather spend my $$$$$ at McDonald's. If there was a NO STAR rating, best believe that's what they'd get! read more

I recently tried out the Cork and Barely by clareview station. Had voodo ranger an ipa. Very good! The guy almost slipped me bottled keiths when I asked for a glass! Went a few times. Great food and great service. Very personable. I see them working on new drinks sometimes. Pretty spacious place. Clareview needs it! There ain't much for bars in the area. I recommend! read more

Went to the Cork & Barley on Sat Feb 15. I ordered the Roast Beef Dinner in the 8" Yorkshire pudding. The food inside the pudding was delicious and hot, but the bottom of the pudding was burnt. Couldn't cut it, it was so burnt. I told the waitress and her response was oh that's too bad. So I ate what was inside the pudding and flipped it over so she could see and all she did was take it to the garbage can and scraped it in the garbage. My sister had the same thing and hers was fine. I didn't expect a free meal or anything I just expected her to take it back to the kitchen and let the chef or the manager know what was being sent out to a customer. Will I go back ??? Will I recommend??? But in saying that like I said the food inside was very tasty and hot. So I would recommend and next time if I go back I will complain a little bit if it's not to my satisfaction. The waitress was so so. The young lady that came to take our plates was very apologetic but again nothing was brought to the attention of the chef or manager. The restaurant itself is nice. read more

This place has the best burger I have tasted in Edmonton. Their Brigade burger is a hamburger I have gone back for on many occasions and I will continue to go back there for it because it's so incredible. I've looked at lists of the top ten burger places in Edmonton and they suck. This is the place to go. When I see a disgraceful place like Fox Burger in a top ten list for best burger it's a joke when you have a place like Cork & Barley down the street. read more

Great place to go . It has awesome food, friendly staff and an owner who works tirelessly to satisfy customers. A much recommended place for special occasions our favorite dishes are the mushroom Swiss burger and their wings try this place out you won't be disappointed read more

Amazing food and service. I wish I lived closer. This would become a go to place for us.

We ordered for the first time they must have been super busy with almost an hour wait to pick up. I had the beef burrito made with a huge yorkshire pudding for the wrapper this was at best ordinary came with a side of waffle chips that had been cooked to my request crispy. The burrito would have been much better if the yorksire was warm and if there was horseradish mayo with it other wise pretty bland. I will go there again when I can sit down inside for a meal . Sorry did not get a pick. read more

Tried the Cork&Barley for the first time last week. Very friendly wait staff, bartender and Owner. They all welcomed us and said goodbye when we left. The food was excellent with a lot of English pub style food. Pot roast in a large Yorkshire pudding, delicious shepherds pie, burrito in a Yorkshire pudding wrap and a tender steak sandwich. We are going back again soon. read more

Had the pot roast , it was excellent. I've also had a few other things on the menu delivered- always good.

service was lacking, manager was yelling at the staff and they should get someone in there to spray for cockroaches. won't be going back.

Great food, drinks, atmosphere, and staff. Try the British Burrito, or Mini Yorkies! Highly recommend!

This is a new restaurant that popped up in our local area recently. Our first experience was spectacular and we haven't been disappointed in any of the repeat visits we've had since. The pot roast dinner in a giant Yorkshire pudding is my favorite but their new sticky toffee pudding is also a winner. It has a local pub feel with great food, good music that isn't so loud you can't talk quietly at your table, it's clean, and the staff are wonderful. Today was our 4th visit and will not be our last. read more

What a sweet place. Looks amazing inside. We came for dinner, but would be a fun place for drinks too. The food was fantastic. Server was so nice and bubbly and happy. I had a margarita I didn't LOVE but it was still good, and probably my fault I didn't read the whole description. Will be back. Will bring friends. Thank you! read more

went there for the friday night special. $26.99 for the steak special. 10oz ribeye steak with potato and veggies. first off, the steak was definitely not a ribeye, chewy and sinewey, loaded baked potato was extra but was not told cuz I asked what was included and she listed off what was all available which she included the loaded baked potato which I might add was not loaded at all. no butter, bacon bits are fake and hardly and sour cream and no cheese. Yes our mistake was we actually are the meal and expressed our concerns after. but how we were treated after was very unsympathetic and felt like the owner was annoyed cuz he was the one who dealt with our issues. I just believe we could of been treated better and not felt like another burden as a customer. the waitress was only concerned about her tip amount after we paid and that threw us right off. they placed more monetary value on the tip of the server and the cost of the meal than giving a excellent dining experience. read more

The best food and service I have had in a long time on the north side of Edmonton. Happy to have this in this area. Brigade burger and Mini Yorkies are a must try. read more
