Parking seemed limited at first, but there's more available in the back. Just a tip: be careful not to miss the entrance, since exiting is a one-way street and re-entering can be tricky. We arrived around 6:45 pm and saw a small line with two groups ahead, but the place is much bigger than it looks from the outside and we were seated quickly in a comfortable booth for four. The pub was clean, and I was especially surprised at how spacious and tidy the washrooms were--not what I usually expect from a pub, which tend to feel older and worn. The menu is huge, and TVs are everywhere--even in our booth. Between us, we tried a good range of dishes: 1. Caprese Salad with Steak - nicely balanced with pesto, though the steak was a little dry. 2. Fish and Chips - incredible portion for $18! Crispy, perfectly cooked fish with fries, coleslaw, and even a Caesar salad. The fries were well-seasoned (no ketchup needed), coleslaw was enjoyable despite me usually not liking it, and the Caesar was delicious. 3. Mexican Salad - flavorful, fresh, and generous in portion. 4. Tuesday Wing Special - wings were $0.90 each, so I ordered 15 with a Coke Zero. The garlic Parmesan was disappointing--dry and lacking flavor--but the Buffalo ranch wings were tender and spot-on. Service was friendly, though our waitress could have been more proactive with drink and water refills. Overall, I was impressed. Clean space, huge portions, good value, and a welcoming pub atmosphere. Definitely a solid stop if you're in the area.

When we went for dinner, it was pretty busy with lots of locals and families. Despite this, the service was great and they got our dishes served in really good time. Also, the portions and pricing is PHENOMENAL - like a seafood or steak main dish for $28-$37?? Amazing. For the 2 of us, we were very hungry so we ordered an EVERYTHING GRILLED PLATTER and GRILLED VEGETABLE & GOAT CHEESE SALAD to share. There was definitely enough food for us. The platter had a good variety of meats. The shrimp and crispy but airy light tater tots were my favourite. The quality of the meats for the steak, chicken, lamb skewers & grilled squid were definitely mediocre and a bit rubber, but still cooked & seasoned well. The salad was overall satisfactory too!

Downside is the patio is facing Taunton so it can get loud. Best thing here is the diverse kids menu. So many options and a very large portion. One of my kids always gets the kids salmon meal when we eat here. Only negative thing tonight was the steak I had. I asked for medium rare but it was medium - but I didn't return it because I hate food waste. Also the quality of the steak was not the best, it lacked flavour and tasted too firm (probably not AAA). But in summary, great diverse menu, amazing portions, fabulous kids menu..and usually good food.

The selection of food options was also pretty good. I got the Buffalo Chicken Wrap, but it also had the chance to try the chicken wrap, which is slightly different. Both were good in their own way. the fries were not my favourite but still pretty tasty. If you're a host sauce lover like myself, they have their house made hot sauce that they put on the Buffalo Chicken Strips, that you can try, but they will charge you $1 for it. They have lots of TVs to watch sports on as well. Overall, the food was pretty good, the service was fast & friendly. The prices were also pretty too!

My friend and I endured our local dive for years as it declined before it shut down (finally). Now that it has been replaced with this gem, I will be stopping by much more often! The South end never looked (or tasted) so good! Prices are very reasonable and they have some amazing deals like $10 pint and pound and $10 pasta and pint. Check out the menu in my photos. They have a decent draught beer selection and mixed drinks were well made. Our server was absolutely lovely and she let us know all about the new owners and the chef who seems to take pride in his creations. They only use fresh food (never frozen). I had the veal scallopini with mushroom wine sauce and pasta. It was very good! The pasta sauce needed some salt and pepper, but I'm super picky about my pasta sauce. I over spice mine to death! I also had a caesar and a couple of "white freezies" which tasted as good as they sound. The atmosphere is great! Huge booths, beautiful bar, lots of TVs so you can catch the game, a pool table in the back with a digital jukebox and cool colour changing rope lights on the patio. Can't wait to sit out there when the weather is nicer! They even had live music. The washroom is basically still the same boring Park Place washroom with a few small updates, but I'm not there for the washroom atmosphere. Go check this place out!

The one thing we were shocked about was the quality of the food. We were short on time so I had a steak Caesar salad and my wife had the Cobb salad.

The waitress did the bare minimum except to look pissed when I didn't order a pre- dinner drink. Drinks - a supposed nine-oz. glass of wine somehow magically fit into a five-oz. glass with room left over. When my wife looked at it, she said to the waitress "I ordered the nine-oz. size". The response from the waitress was "that is a nine oz.". So the place is charging $12.50 for a nine oz. glass, but only giving half that. Good money maker. And for a place that calls itself a full restaurant - only two wines by the glass, both cheap, under $15 a bottle wines? The food - bland, badly cooked. My sirloin was tough and chewy, the fries overcooked and burnt. My wife had chicken strips, but it took a lot of looking to find the little bit of chicken wrapped in all those bread crumbs. We skipped the dessert - by that time we just wanted to get out of there.
