We had a great experience here this evening! Tess is an amazing server: very attentive and informative. Great at making suggestions and answering questions re. the menu. The beer flight was excellent as was the margarita. The only downside to this restaurant is the wine menu. We were both having chicken and seafood, but defaulted to the only wine on the menu that got a decent rating from Vivino, and it was a red. Meh. We're neither of us stuck on if it's a fish or poultry dish you must have white and our bottle of red was a good wine so we enjoyed it. We started with the falafels with hummus and the Caesar salad. Both were very good. I opted for the chicken schnitzel and he went for the lake trout. The chicken schnitzel with spinach spaetzle was very good indeed. I ended up requesting some lemon to squeeze on the schnitzel because I found the herb butter was a tad too much like the spaetzle. Not a criticism per se, I just felt that the lemon juice added a bit of extra zest that I personally liked. The trout was also very good, except for the tomato sauce base - he felt that did not add to the dish. Nothing wrong with the sauce, just not necessary. Mudtown Station was recommended by friends who'd been here a few years ago. I know it's undergone some changes since then, but I thought the recent poor reviews were a shame. They almost put me off. But truly, this restaurant is trying hard to get back to its former glory and I'd say they're now there. The menu is creative and out of the ordinary, the atmosphere is relaxing and pleasant and the food is very good - and this review is coming from a foodie who's eaten in many Michelin starred restaurants and at least 4 that were in the list of top 100 in the world, including number one. Mudtown Station deserves a visit. I'd give it a 4.5 if that was an option. read more

We stayed at Best Western Inn on the Bay in Owen Sound over the long weekend, and this was the closest restaurant we could find. The inside was quite big, but a lot of flies. When we arrived at 6:00 p.m., the restaurant wasn't very busy. We ordered the Curry Chicken Flatbread, which was an interesting combination and surprisingly tasty. The signature burger was underwhelming and quite small. The trout was tender and flavourful. The service was just okay. Some dishes come with a choice of side, but we weren't told that certain options carried an extra charge until we received the bill. The server even mentioned that she had accidentally undercharged us, so we ended up paying more than we expected. The pricing wasn't clearly explained, which could easily catch travellers off guard. read more

Returned to the Mudtown Station as back in the area for a group jet ski trip. Opted for seating outside under an umbrella. Tried the burger and fries again and shared the steak bites. My friend ordered the paella. The burger was cooked perfectly and the fries were excellent. The steak bites were over cooked and not sure how they could call what they served my friend paella.They did have one IPA on tap that I sampled and it was nice. I have no plans to return. read more

Terrible food, very strange prep, looks like it's thrown together. There home made beer needs a whole new makeover. We would not recommend this place as well we're not treated with respect from we believe the owners daughter and a wait staff read more

Excellent food and friendly service! Located on a quiet street off the main road and right beside the dog park. No line up on a Sunday evening long weekend. Patio is large and dog friendly, waitress was so kind to give people blankets as it was still chilly outside. They have a nice selection of mains on the menu (fish, burger, steak, tofu, salad etc) as well as beers. Highly recommend the house made bucatini with lemon chicken as well as the ribeye steak with pommes anna and balsamic truffled mushroom. The pasta was rich and the veggies were packed with flavour! read more

Location is really nice, but food and service were not great. The fattoush salad was $26 for lettuce and a couple of small cubes of cold halloumi cheese (supposed to be fried) Kids burger was so burnt it was crunchy. Everything is definitely overpriced for the quality. Us and our food were covered in flies the entire time we ate. I know you can only control thatthat so much, but they definitely should get some fly traps. read more

Second time to Mudtown. Unique menu and brews. We had the cellar plate and pulled pork nachos. Both were very good. And all staff members have been great. read more

It has been awhile since we have been here, we're so happy we did! So nice to able to bring our dogs and sit outdoors and have a flight! Cassie Suggested the perfect craft beers for me to have and I really enjoyed them. We will definitely back Thanks read more

Wow, I've been to this brew pub before and had a very delicious meal, but today's lunch was way over the top! From the moment we sat down I was hit with delicious beer after delicious beer... Seeing as we were there for lunch I went the lighter side of the spectrum and stuck with the lager, saison and lighter ales... I remember the burger being absolutely delicious and they used to have a chicken sandwich which was equally delicious but today with the new menu, they have really taken it over the top! My wife and I started out sharing the fried brussel sprouts, which as an appetizer you would think might be a small portion, but you would be absolutely wrong! This delicious treat came out piled high with fried brussels sprouts covered in bacon, cheese and a delicious aïoli/sauce that went perfectly together - we had to stop eating it because we had ordered other items... That's how much it was! My wife ordered the beet roasted cauliflower steak which on presentation alone was absolutely a five star, almost like a beautiful painting on a plate... The flavours were so unexpected and kept your pallet guessing over and over again.... For me after three delicious pints of beer I went with the scallops topped with chorizo and chimichurri. The flavours that came out of this dish were nothing like what I expected and in a very amazing pleasant way! Beautifully seared scallops topped with a very delicious, yet not overly aggressive chorizo, and a chimichurri that was not what I typically expect from a chimichurri but the herbal punch that I got from it, including the tendrils on top and the beautiful purée underneath, was a symphony in the mouth, if you are a foodie, this dish is an absolute must! Top that off with excellent service, and a very open and inviting atmosphere, and you absolutely have a winner! Thank you so much Mudtown, we will be back! Zeke read more

It's a very interesting place and they have done a nice job job turning a train station into a restaurant. Lots of details still left intact. The goods: the bar area is very nice. Sit at the bar or a high top. The beer flights are well presented, reasonably priced, and the beers are very good. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Overall enjoyed. read more

This is my 2nd visit and honestly, it's even better then last years visit. Love the patio cause it loves my dog. Nice to enjoy a drink on a patio with your dog. Speaking of drink, it was only 7.75 for a 6oz glass of Pinot Grigio. Try finding that price in Toronto. My hubby had the burger and like last year said "best burger I've ever had" That says a lot coming from him. He eats ALOT of burgers. I had the banh mi chicken sandwich. It's excellent. All crispy veggies and tender chicken pieces. My only complaint is there's way too much bun. Would like to see a potato bun, like the burger. Wedge fries are crispy, big, and all round fantastic. Love this place. read more

Service was great as it was pretty empty, kind and welcoming staff. Got 2 pounds chicken wings and the daily soup which totaled to $50.. so quite pricey. Chicken wings were VERY dry would definitely not recommend!!! Probably wont come back. Nice atmosphere and decked out for Halloween though. read more

We visited for lunch and were disappointed to find that almost half of the menu items were unavailable. I reluctantly ordered the fish, which was overpriced and came in a very small portion. One small fried fish plus a little bit beans. On a positive note, the patio area was lovely. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. read more

Really great meal at Mudtown Station - wife and I both had the Ribeye. Honestly, one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Belgian Blonde Lager was tasty as well. Service was quick on a busy patio. It's an old train station, so the ambiance is a bit kitschy (won't be to everyone's taste) - but we were on the patio with a nice view of the harbor. Definitely recommend. read more

Always excellent food, service, and atmosphere!! Would highly recommend!! Can't wait for patio season!

Great spot to stop in for a cool refreshment and snack or a lunch on the patio. The menu is eclectic yet accessible. AND....... Flavour and creativity are combined to deliver a wonderful meal!! A must while in Owen Sound. read more

The only food I recommend here is the cornbread. It is literally the best corn bread I've ever had. The restaurant itself is not that nice, quite old and the food is meh, nothing special. The beer flights were alright, I think I only truly enjoyed one of them but not special enough for me to remember the name. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here again unless I was really craving cornbread but I would just grab it to go. The popcorn butter is amazing with it. read more

Good food and atmosphere right on the water. A few in our group got the trout and loved it (tip from our server was to add a side of sourdough bread to enjoy all the sauce at the end). I got the burger and it was a solid choice. Also the local rose was a great choice on a hot summer day. read more

My Caesar salad was good, and my party enjoyed their meals too. However, I'm very disappointed in the amount of brown lettuce that was in all of our caesar salads. Three people got salads and all of them gad a majority of brown lettuce. Slightly disappointed. read more

Don't miss eating here. Unusual food, cooked perfectly. Best cauliflower steak anywhere. If you eat meat, their burgers will send you to heaven. Service is casual but as good as any high end restaurant. Clean as a whistle. We love it. read more

A fun place, interesting/different/fun menu. In old Rail Road station, next to the pier. Good view for outdoor eating if weather is fine. read more

They had me at station. The former CPR station with some of the 1940s trimmings preserved. They don't serve snails here; instead they have snails that serve. It was the slowest service I've ever encountered. And I've been to places where I practically had to hold a gun to the server's head in order to get my bill so I could leave. But I turned in my gun long ago so when it was obvious that no amount of prodding was going to get them to bring my bill, I plunked down cash and left. I was ignored as if I were in the midst of sabotaging a Borg ship on Star Trek. I fear that there was enough left over for a very undeserved tip. Anything more than the interest my bank currently pays on my savings (0.05%) would be excessive. The food was alright but not worth waiting an eternity for. read more

Such a great addition to Owen Sound. My absolute favourite will always be the burger. I loved getting a beer flight,--so fun to sample new beers this way. The atmosphere is welcoming and we had our ladies night in big table for eight!! Great fun and the service was too notch!! Loved their Caesar's and cider lovely. We went last Sunday for the fresh oysters and they were incredible,--I hope this happens soon. Must follow on Instagram to keep up with the special dinners!! read more

Had lunch there today. Fabulous. I don't like beer but the flight was wonderful and presented well. I had the falafel which was tasty and just spicy enough. My friend has the hamburger which was homemade. The wedge fries were the best ever. Then the strawberry rhubarb crumble was over the top. This was my first stage 3 opening from Covid dining inside a restaurant. I felt very safe - the tables were spread out, servers had masks and everything was clean. They also serve wine. Interesting menu. read more

Super friendly staff, food was very yummy too. I wish there was a bigger menu selection, but what was ordered still was great. read more

Busy place but we found the wait short. A brewery that serves some good food. The Chef indulges you with some different takes on established fare. My wife had the Lake Trout and mixed greens, while I had their special burger. All good. We tried the deserts a Rhubarb Trifle and a Maple Pudding topped with ice cream. Try a 4 sample Flight of their brews. I added an image of today's beer menu read more

Nice brewery/resto-pub. Opted to sit outside on the patio overlooking the river since the inside had an odd smell to it the day we visited. Service attentive. Had their home brew wheat beer which was tasty. Cornbread was delicious. Good place to enjoy a beer and some laid back summer vibes. Did not try a main but seemed to be slightly on the pricy side as a whole. They also offer beer flights. Parking available right across from the patio by the board walk. read more

We went there this past Saturday to see for ourselves if the service was as bad as we've heard. We arrived at 5:45 and there was a note on the door that Mud Town would be closing for a private function at 7:00 pm. After waiting at the front door for five minutes, a young attendant said they were not seating any more people because of the private party at 7:00 pm. Come on Mud Town, you couldn't have served us a hamburger and had us out in an hour and ten minutes? I think if a small town restaurant like Mud Town wants the support of the local community they should be a little more respectful. read more

Just tried it for the first time for lunch. Did flights of beer to sample all 6 of their brews. Lots of different and interesting flavours. Really enjoyed our food as well. We had the burger and grilled ham and cheese. Will definitely come back and recommend it to family and friends. read more

Even without the brewery, Mudtown is the best restaurant in Owen Sound. Have been a handful of times and always fantastic.

Menu is great. Beer and cider are excellent. Service is even better. Must try. Try the Lake trout or ribs. We loved it!

Great location. Pleased to see the old train station repurposed. The patio is a welcoming spot when the weather is warm. The food is well prepared. I do find it odd that there is no ability to order a side salad with an entree. I was informed that was not possible but that I could order the large salad off the menu. Yet, the chicken on a bun comes with a small bowl of salad on the plate. Burgers have a small bowl of French fries. A la carte needs to have some side options to order along with the fish/meat entrees. Otherwise, I would suggest putting seasonal veggies on the plate or a small salad. Just saying... read more

This is our new fave spot whenever we visit family in Chatsworth and Owen Sound. The food is phenomenal - we've had the trout and the steak (totally worth how pricey it is), but the beer is the thing that keeps us coming back for more. We tend to visit as many local breweries as we can whenever we travel, and frankly, Mudtown always keeps us coming back. Can't wait to get back here for a wedding next month just so we can try more of their stellar offerings. read more

Long wait to be seated as was not waited on by staff for 20 minutes. Flight samples were not good and food is over priced.

What a pleasant find! Not typical bar fare. We stopped into the nearby dog park and decided to grab a quick lunch before heading back to Toronto. Our dog was tied to outer patio posts and we dined outside . The service and food is the best in Owen sound. We ordered falafel and cauliflower. Both these dishes were infused with unique flavours and delicious. Reminded me a lot of local restaurants you'd find in queen street-Toronto. Great experience. Will return for sure. read more

Walked in and the place was a mess, numerous tables empty and full of empty glasses and dishes. Sign said seat yourself so we sat at one of the tables. 10 minutes go by an not one person serving came by. I went to the area where the servers were and asked for someone to come by and she came and cleaned the table, after which she said she would send our server over. Another 10 minutes go by and nothing so we got up and left. It was Thursday night at 7pm. 1st and last time there read more

Great food. I was very impressed by the innovative menu. The flavour combinations were surprising and on point! Compliments to the chef! We did have to wait a long time to be served though! read more

We've been 3 times since they opened a couple of weeks ago and everything has been great except the $39.00 steak my daughter ordered the last time we were there. It was very, very fatty with a lot of fibrous bits. The steak came on it's own with nothing else on the plate. No garnish of any sort. Just an enormous slab of poor quality beef. read more
