I live in this city and used to come to this pub a lot, as it has a patio even though there's a busy thoroughfare right next to the pub.
I'll get straight to my point for this review, the food used to taste better at this place, and this isn't the first time I've come to this conclusion.
Who doesn't like home cut fries????? Anybody who has ever had real home made fries will never say McCain fries or any store bought fries are better, and to me not having home made fries tells me how little effort is actually placed on having good wholesome items on any menu ....or am I wrong ?
I know that the minimum wage increase has put a lot of extra stress on any pub to make money, but come on it's no secret that good food will bring customers back, and for the most part most people will pay a bit more for good food and good service.
If a pub charges me a lot for below average to average food I get annoyed and start thinking why am I even coming back here.
This in no way reflects on the wait staff as they can only do so much and most times the service is awesome. I have no idea what goes on in the kitchen either, I'm sure they, the kitchen staff has their hands tied as well to a certain point.
The long and the short of it is this, if your an owner on any business it's your " JOB " to ensure people are satisfied with " YOUR " establishment, and it's your job to do whatever it takes to make that happen.
That said or posted, I like this place, it's big, has a lot of TV's if you want to watch a sporting event and again the waitstaff is awesome, but the food part could be better.
I don't consider this a negative review, more a hint to maybe get better food, I really don't like posting negative posts or comments for any business as we the customer have no idea what goes on behind the scenes or how much effort is put in any aspects of this or any other business, but me being a customer if I feel like I was just at a fast food place well that kinda irks me a bit, that being said I will say once again, I like this pub even though the food is at best average, and I apologize in advance if I offended anyone. read more
