3.5/5 I've been here…read moretwice and have had one subpar experience and one excellent experience. Average it out and I give it 3.5/5. The first time I came here service was poor. It took almost 30 minutes for my friend and I to be served at the bar. The first time I was here I had the roundhouse mac n cheese. It was good though nothing special, but the poor service definitely cancelled out what was decent food. The second time I came here on a work dinner, where we somehow stuffed almost 20 people on a long table. Service was a lot better, though maybe it was because I was with a large group. I went during poutine week, so I had the Taco Mac n Cheese Poutine. The mac n cheese was actually mac n cheese bites, which was ehh...but I liked the concept! Cheese curds are good, size was generous, and the nacho beef was cooked well and juicy. So to cancel both visits out, I'll leave is as 3.5/5 for now. If I get good service next visit I'll be happy to bump this up to a 4.

3.5/5, +.5 for service…read more Went to Block and Blade for a friend's birthday party. We were part of a large group of about 20, and the server accommodated us very well. The restaurant is slightly upscale, with a wealth of food options at somewhat higher than average prices. I was torn between a few items, but I settled with a starter french onion soup and an entree of chicken tenders and fries. I've had lots of french onion soups in my life. This one was quite good; the gruyere cheese was plentiful and was gooey, which is how it should be. The chicken tenders were crispy with plenty of batter. The honey dill sauce is on the creamy side, which I didn't like as much but I can imagine others preferring the creaminess of the sauce. It won't be a place that'll be on my regular visit rotation due to location and price, but I'd definitely have this in my list of suggestions for a special occasion.

Don't bother going to this restaurant if you're alone and over 50 years old. You'll be ignored…read more On the four separate occasions, I went there on the way to a regular appointment. I had in the neighborhood. One time I sat at a table; one time I sat at the bar and a third time I saw it in a booth. On each occasion, I waited between 15 and 20 minutes for somebody to even come to the table. On two of the occasions, the food came before I had a set up at the table, and the server disappeared, leaving me with no cutlery and a meal rapidly getting colder. The first time this happened I contacted the restaurant management and said that rather than leave a bad review, I would like to speak to him about it. It obviously didn't help because the next three visits were just as disastrous.

I was a…read moreregular, same order almost everyday; bacon cheese dog w/ no pickles, but it seems as if they've gotten greedy, taking me and my money for granted. They don't punch in my order, just put my cash straight into the tip jar. Several times they've forgotten to make my hotdog, cause there's no ticket and have left me waiting, serving other customers that arrive after me but not recognizing that I'm still sitting there! And when I finally have to step up and point out that I'm still waiting, I'm the asshole! I'm the one being rude or making a scene! I just wanted what I paid for. I show up almost everyday, I'm polite, I pay cash, I don't cause problems while I'm waiting, I tip, I smile, I treat others with respect.... It would be nice to get some in return. And now, when I don't show up again, there's no way for you to make things better with me, but maybe, reading this, you'll learn to cherish your regulars, respect the peop!e who show up in your business and respect you. I'm gonna miss those foot long bacon and cheese hotdogs, with the fresh onions, chili and mustard! Mmmmmm. I regret feeling like I have to say these words but like I said, this wasn't the first time. Wishing you the best.

I work nearby here and came on the last day of burger week, because their burger was being ranked top 5 in all of Canada. I had to see what the hype was about, and sure enough the hype was justified. Their burger was a Whiskey King burger, which included their Whiskey River grilling sauce, cheese, glazed bacon, fried egg, onion rings, and your typical add-ons on a pretzel bun. It came with a cream of mushroom soup. The soup really caught me off guard. It was AMAZING. The mushroom pieces were plentiful and you can tell it was homemade, not canned. The burger looks like a giant tower and I was afraid to cause a mess, but it was delicious! I especially loved their burger and the bun that was used. You wouldn't think a town as small as Bird's Hill would house an amazing restaurant like this, but here we are. Definitely worth a visit if you have a car!

This past Tuesday, a friend and I went there for dinner before the Dasha concert down the street at the Park Theatre. The lone waitress shared that it was her second shift. The place was packed and we waited an eternity for our drinks, and what should have been an enjoyable dining experience ended up being a tense, unpleasant few hours. The waitress was not to be faulted at all. The management should have known to have another server given that a packed to the rafters concert was going on a block away. The food was great, but I will be hard pressed to go back there again.
