I am in Woodstock for work, and a colleague suggested I give this place a try. What an awesome…read moreplace! There is an outside patio, and a large open interior space - definitely a bit of a biergarden feel to it. You go to the bar to order your food and drinks, and tell the server where you are sitting. They then bring the food out to you. Let's talk about the food! More specifically, let's talk about the poutine! I'm not Canadian, but I have had poutine before - and theirs might be the best I have ever had. The gravy was amazing, you could tell they add beer when they are making it. I also tried their regular cheeseburger - cooked perfectly, juicy, and delicious. If I hadn't had the poutine, I'd give it high marks for the burger alone. Don't sleep on this place, it's great. Now, I don't consume alcohol, so I can't comment on the quality of their beer - but my work colleague said it was very good. I did try their vanilla soda - and it was really good. High marks all around!

We chose to sit on the back patio which had plenty of seats. They had a garage set-up which was very unique and made it feel like you were eating a homemade meal. Our server was informative and took time to go over the beer list and menu list. I ordered a Green Tea Beer and it was great! For my entree I ordered the Homemade Individual Beef Pot Pie. The crust on this was fluffy and melted in your mouth. Each bite was packed with flavor and they don't skimp on the portion sizes! My wife ordered the Gourmet Grilled Cheese Burger and it was cooked perfectly and had the right amount of cheese. Overall, great place to stop by for dinner.

We got skunked at the Skink and Goat tavern on Monday…read more We have been driving from New England to Ohio to drop our oldest off at college and always wanted to come here. It is their senior year, so it was our last chance so we made sure to stop. We came in on a Monday around 1 pm. I had made a reservation, but not needed The waitress promptly brought us menus. There were five other tables occupied. We waited 25 minutes (I started a stop watch after 10) and the waitress never came back to take our order, bring us water or see if we had any questions. We had the menu down. I tried to flag her down but she ignored us. So we got up and left. All in all a very disappointing experience. We were so looking forward to it, the music was great, the food smelled great. But the service was beyond horrible. .

We had our dog with us so we only planted to get carry out, and then we discovered a shaded patio. We decided to stay and eat outside. I was standing at the host stand for quite a while because I hadn't noticed the seat yourself sign. I had also walked in the restaurant and was looking around for any employee - two servers at a table saw me standing there looking confused but then just went right back into the kitchen. When another guest pointed out the sign, I thought well that's great but if we want to sit outside will they ever know we are there. Someone finally returned to the bar and we were able to get a server. We ended up ordering three appetizers - skoat balls, cheese sticks, peach Burrata. All three good. I also ordered a blueberry mint mocktail beer that was actually quite disappointing. It was also quite a charming little town! Would like to go back again sometime, sadly that is unlikely to ever happen.

I ordered a pint and the Guinness Steak and Mushroom pie which comes with a choice of side (French fries, salad). The presentation of the meal was not normally how I have had before. It was served on a plate with the puff pastry placed on top. And the fries were served on a separate plate. The puff pastry was not cooked and was raw. The steak and mushroom stew was delicious (the steak was so tender) and the fries were cooked perfectly. When the problem of the puff pastry was brought to the attention of the staff they apologized and actually took 50% off my bill. I understand we're all humans and sometimes mistakes are made. Even with the issue of my meal I will come back again. There is a patio on the front of the restaurant, that has some tarps up for shade.

After our last experience the 6 of us and our families will NEVER go back again! We even tried to speak to the owner and he was just as disrespectful!!!! NEVER AGAIN! 6 of us went for dinner, the waiter was rude to several if us. Told us to "hurry up with our order because he had other things to do", our meals came out messed up, missing things and burnt, 2 peoples meal didn't even get cooked because they forgot about them, the waiter gave me my meal over cooked and missing onions, then after I stuck my used for on my plate, I asked if i could get my missing onions on the side and he said "no, give me your plate, that's someone else's order" I said, no this is my order its just missing onions, but he insisted I give it to him like really aggressively and took my plate PAST the kitchen and over to the bar side of the restaurant where he obviously served it to another customer! 3 out of 4 of us had burnt food on our plates and the other 2 never got their food. We left without eating or paying and came back the next day to talk to the owner and pay for the 6 drinks and one salad that we did have. The owner defended the waiter and was rude to us as well. He didn't care about our experience, only getting money for the burnt grose food we never touched. He forced us to pay a $143 bill which included the 6 drinks and 1 salad that we did eat/drink AS WELL AS the grose food that no one touched AND the meals for the 2 people that never came to the table because they didn't cook their food. Since the owner didn't care about anything but his money and causing a scene I'm the crowded restaurant, we paid the $143 bill and left. They lost loyal, 10 year, excellent tipping customers. None of us will ever go back as long as its owned by Victor.

The waitress apologized and explained that was the kitchen was back up heavily so we've been sitting for an extremely long time between our appetizers and our mains. In total, we've been sitting for about 2.5 hours. I may come back here on a less busy time to avoid the loud music and the long wait times.
