We didn't reserve in advance (which I now highly recommend). The wait was about an hour, but we passed the time at the nearby Churchill with a pre‑drink, and they texted us when our table was ready.

Service for both drinks and food was quick, and the cozy Irish pub atmosphere made it even better. Definitely try to reserve ahead on the website if you can. If not, just plan to relax at one of the nearby pubs until your table is ready.

Each did have a unique taste. A filling and interesting dish. Murphy's stout on tap was Devine. Wife found her NA Moscow mule good but, given no alcohol, she felt the serving volume was low.

Alas, since it was midday and I was driving, I had a Diet Coke rather than a draft. It's a cute pub and there were a few people scattered about. I was torn between the Homemade Butter Chicken or Scruffy's Meatlovers Pizza (bacon, hot Italian sausage, ground beef, cheddar, mozzarella and tomato sauce). My server suggested the pizza. I love love love pizza so pizza it was. It was okay. It was really chunky with meat and there was lots of cheese ... so no complaints about the amount of condiments. The crust wasn't so great, though. The texture reminded me of a frozen pizza. When I'm in that area again, I'll stop in for a beer a meal.

Sure, it was good... but Doc's knocked by socks off. I went here on a recommendation from the staff at a hotel that competes with the Best Western where Doc's is located, which is always a good sign for a hotel restaurant. Got the corned beef boxty, which is amazing. With the boxty fries, which were really good - much better than standard fries, in my opinion. And had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Heavenly. I actually went back two days later after dinner at another restaurant to have the sticky toffee pudding one more time. The atmosphere is very nice, like a pub should be, with good service from the bartender, music the second night I was there, and some good conversation with a fellow traveler from London (Ontario). The odds are high that I'll be back. If you're looking for somewhere to burn all the delicious calories, my suggestions are the Niagara River Recreation Trail (from Fort Erie to Niagara-on-the-Lake) and the Niagara Gorge Hiking Trails. Three and a half out of five for Doc's matches. They burn well, and are a cool souvenir, but it's difficult to strike them on the side of the box. Still useful to have around the house where I can strike them on the side of another box, but not ideal for a retro night out on the town.

Tasty Pub Fare, Great Vibes & Even Better Reuben Bites!…read more Doc Magilligan's is a cozy Irish pub with a solid menu, a great beer selection, and a lively atmosphere. We really enjoyed the live music--it definitely added to the vibe, though it did make chatting a bit tricky at times. That said, the sets were short and added a fun touch to the evening. We started with a few appetizers, and everything hit the spot--the cauliflower bites were tasty, the spinach dip was solid, but the star was definitely the Reuben Bites--absolutely delicious! For mains, my wife ordered the mac and cheese and loved the depth of flavour--you can really taste the leeks, which was a nice twist. I got the chicken parm mac and cheese and thought it was fantastic--the chicken was juicy, crispy, and perfectly done. The rest of our group was just as happy--my brother raved about the Chicken Pot Pie, and the Bangers and Mash were also a hit. Overall, a great Irish pub experience with comforting food, friendly vibes, and some standout dishes. Definitely worth a visit!

Service was slow, but that wasn't really the waitress's fault - they clearly aren't staffing the place appropriately. She was evidently on her own in the front of the house. As a result, our drinks weren't refreshed, and we waited for a long time between her visits to the table. The chicken sandwich had looked (in the menu photo) amazing - notably in the photo it was covered with a huge amount of coleslaw. When it arrived it seemed like they had run out of coleslaw and were trying to stretch it by using only a tiny amount. I tried to get the waitress's attention to ask for more, but was finished my lunch by the time she paid us any attention. My wife's fish was fine. It is served with a side of coleslaw too - a very small amount again. My son found his burger to be very basic - a small step up from the sort of thing you get at a fast food joint. We all had fries with our lunches. The fries were actually very good. But, like the coleslaw, it was as if they were running low. All of us remarked on how few fries were on our plates. It seems very odd to be stingy with the cheapest things on our plates. Coleslaw and fries cost virtually nothing. My wife caters, and she routinely comps her customers slaw, for that reason. It's an easy, and very inexpensive, way to ensure customers feel like they're getting value. In any case, we were unimpressed, and won't be back.

Menu is a tad over priced, but I can't deny it tastes good. Not overly salty or oily as bar food often is, and I actually really enjoyed their pasta. It's definitely a great place to go for a bit of a splurgy night with friends where you're prepared to pay $20-40 per person. I like it for a date night to have some heavier foods that I wouldn't want to try cooking at home. The short rib pappardelle was the best. I love the flavour and it's not too crazy heavy, even though it looks really creamy. It has very beef stew type vibes. The chicken wings were well cooked and still moist. I think it was too much flavour going on though. You LOVE the first and even second wing. But by the third one, I felt like it was getting too heavy. I know though that a lot of people love that and can't get enough of it. I personally don't like too much of any one thing. The brussel sprouts I felt the same. It's really yum for the first few bites but it gets really heavy after a while. I think it's really fun to have the appetizers and share a main with someone. The foods are a bit heavier, more of a flavour bomb, but everything is executed well and the staff are really nice! We've even done take out and the portions were very much the same.
