As an out-of-towner, I try to do my research before choosing a restaurant. I don't want to go…read moresomewhere average to bad, and Im also looking for some recommendations on foods that I may want to try when arriving at a destination. As I was reviewing the local spots on my Yelp app, I kept coming back to this place. It seemed like a restaurant that I would like, but their reviews weren't necessarily the highest. I eventually decided that they were going to be on my list of places to try, and tonight was the night. I'm glad I did... as I had a very enjoyable evening. First, the ambiance of this quaint little downtown area is great. I really like what this city has done to attract visitors. Upon entering the Pioneer Pub, my dinner guest and I walked in and found a table to sit. It definitely feels like a mixture of a pub and a restaurant. The tables are fairly cramped together and the bar just a forks-throw away, and the menus are folded up paper stuffed in the middle of the table. We were quickly greeted by an extremely nice, young waitress and she got our drink orders. After looking over the menu, I opted on a blackened gator poboy, and my friend ordered the redfish. We both thought that we should get some Louisiana cuisine while we had the opportunity. The food was outstanding! The gator was seasoned great and cooked well. The bread was a hard crusted roll and had a nice crisp texture. My meal came with hand cut fries and a pickle spear. My friend raved about his fish. Being from Kenya he grew up on fish, and he was very impressed with his meal. One of the complaints that I've read about this establishment is that they took too long with the meal. I didn't feel that we had to wait an exuberant amount of time and I enjoyed the opportunity to have good conversation over a nice meal. Even though it's a pub, I found the atmosphere in the restaurant to be quaint. I would recommend this location for a date with your spouse or a business dinner. Once you are finished eating, I'd recommend you go across the street and head down to the river or take a stroll downtown. Happy dining

Cool little rustic pub. Very friendly staff. I was there on St Patrick's Day so I had the shepherds…read morepie, it wasn't traditional to what I was used to but it tasted good.

Pioneer Pub - Po Boy? French Dip? Philly Steak? They use the brisket for all these. Just ok. Too heavy on the oregano. Oregano in EVERYTHING!

On my tour of local restaurants, I decided to stop by Magee's today for a late lunch/early supper…read more I walked in and I was the only one around (other than the staff). After a friendly and insightful conversation with an employee, I decided on a burger, fries, and a milkshake. I was pretty excited that they carry Blue Bell ice cream, as I hold this brand in high regard. After I ordered, I was pretty surprised to see my total. I felt it was a bit high, but I was going to withhold my judgment until after my meal. When they brought it to me, the burger was bigger than I expected it to be. So, after my standard picture, I dug in. I would compare the burger to something similar to a what-a-burger, but slightly bigger. It was a 1/3 pound beef patty, pickles, onions, tomatoes, etc. It was good. The fries weren't anything special, certainly not bad. I was disappointed in the milkshake. It didn't have a good consistency, nor did it taste right. It had a bit of sour milk taste and very liquid. For a restaurant who seems to pride themselves on ice cream and milkshakes, I was surprised at what I received. I'd rate this trip as a 3; however, if the milkshake was better I would have given them an extra star. Happy dining.

This place could have potential....but is just unkept, owners obviously don't care about it. None…read moreof the prices on the large billboard inside are even close to accurate.(is this even legal to post prices that are incorrect?). They have signs everywhere about no refills due to covid.....it's 2025 folks. No napkins in the dispensers. If you're looking to trip or get a nice splinter just walk on the deck at the entrance. Burger was good. Experience could have been much better. Probably not even worth a 2 star.
