We got here after 8+ pm for a late dinner after off-roading in the Squamish valley. The place was big and luckily it was not full house as it was a weeknight. There were many tvs and a big screen projector showing the hockey game. Then I noticed Canucks jerseys hanging from the rafter and on the walls. Ok, so sports was big here. It was not rowdy though. We sat away from the main dining hall and got a corner table near the entrance. Service was ok, took a while for the requested extra napkins to come. Our server forgot about it. Guessed it was busier in the main hall which was on a spilt level up. Food wise, it was decent food in a neighborhood pub. Not a huge selection but it had the typical food here so everyone should be able to get something they like. The calamari was surprisingly good. Tender lightly battered squid, not rubbery at all. The whiskey bbq ribs with fries and slaw were good too. The wild BC salmon burger with clam chowder was so-so. I wished the salmon was a bit less over cooked. Salmon was lightly charred outside and unfortunately the inside was a bit hard. At least not too dry. I would prefer the salmon to just have a light crisp with the inside being 70-80% cooked. The miso glaze was nice though. The clam chowder as the side was bad as it did not taste like it at all. It was more of a cream of vegetables soup with some bits of clams in it. That was a disappointment. Fries or salad for the side in future. I also had the Moscow mule. It had real ginger bits in it. I didn't care for that as you kept getting them in every sip and they were real gingery spicy. Not a place I would make a special trip for, but a decent place for a meal when passing by. They open till 12 midnight or 1 am. Nice sized parking lot in front and back of the building. read more

Great service and good bar food. Loved the patio with panoramic mountain views. Wings were good but not great. I'd say everything I saw looked good for bar food though! read more

Our experience here was pretty average. We enjoyed the Thai chili chicken wings, but the hot ones weren't so great. The lasagna was a little on the oily side for me, and wasn't super appetizing. read more

Really happy with dinner at this place last night. Ordered the shady burger and some potato skins. The burger patty had really good flavor and everything seemed fresh and made with quality. Worth the price of the food to me. Great selection of booze and beer. Also loved the decor inside and out. Not sure who the photographer is of the wild animal shots inside but they have captured some great moments. If I was a local I would come here as much as I could afford! Also FREE POOL read more

Had a Caesar in addition to what is photographed. Everything was solid. I'd come here again. Portion sizes were HUGE. We were 2 and what we ordered probably could have fed a family of 4. Watch out when ordering. It was a Friday night, busy and bustling. A little loud. Looked like a good neighborhood joint. read more

Walked in 5pm tonight with my family for Father's Day, service was quick and drinks and food order taken, drinks came out in decent time, but an hour later no sign of our food. When we asked our server what was happening we were informed that their weren't making pizza tonight(only one person ordered pizza as an entree) so no food was ordered. Never was brought a salad or apps we ordered. And wasn't informed about it till we asked. When we said never mind we will eat somewhere else no discount was offered or manager never informed of the issue. Will not be going back read more

They don't even have beef bones anymore bring back the beef bones, the huge cheesy nachos and the good wings, and make the French onion soup cheesier read more

This place has gone down hill. I've been coming here for awhile when I drive up from seattle. The food is down right on the border of crap fast food, and the service is terrible. The last three times I've come in I've been so disappointed so I'm officially pulling the plug. read more

Stopped in on a Friday night and was pretty busy. Service was friendly and didn't take too long. Not a fancy spot but it got the job done. We had a beer and split the mushrooms and poutine, both pretty good. Wish we would have tried the wings after seeing the sign outside, pretty cold statement :). read more

While setting up for a gathering nearby, we got hungry and i had heard about this place so we decided to check it out for that in between time after lunch but not quite supper... Nice selection on the menu and super friendly staff but after 50 minutes still had not received our two burgers and one salmon burger! When they finally did arrive they were charbroiled on the outside yet juicy inside like magic! Nice side salad for me and yam fries for my friend and a decent selection of Drinks. Music is contemporary and there are huge screens around but up high so you can sit on a lower level of this multi- leveled place without being disturbed by the tv's. There is a sunny patio with nice views. read more

5 stars for the fish and chips alone. The dill-packed crispy batter made me so much happier than I expected to be. Fries and real, crispy, and perfection. Service was also on point. We will be back (though straying from the fish and chips will be hard!) read more

Disappointing in both service and food. Ordered the nachos wings and mushroom caps. The latter was good but the nachos were microwaved. You could completely tell-cold in the middle inside the giant pile of tortillas and cheese and the cheese wasn't brown. Nacho chips weren't crispy at all. Don't let the size of it fool you but these were likely the worst nachos I've ever had in my entire life. They were barely touched because it was just gross. The mushroom caps. Yummy. Broiled well. The plate was piping hot and the mushrooms as well as the shrimp and crab inside was super tasty! Piled on top was a piece of garlic bread to go with it. Definitely yummy and probably the best dish there. And now for their famous wings. Quite honestly they should be famous for being just a touch above room temperature. Honestly they're nothing to write home about. I'd rather have Panagos. I had the honey garlic (the sauce tasted like it came out of a can). My friends ordered the hot, buffalo, and lemon pepper. They all came out at approximately room temperature. How disappointing. And now doe the service. This was probably the icing on top of a very badly made cake. Our server came around and "memorized" all our orders. Note they tjat was in quotation makes because she came back to have us repeat or. When we tried to correct her, her exact words were "no. Look at me. You ordered a...(listed off the order)." So of course she missed one of the orders of wings. Isn't this what paper was made for? When this was brought up to her, she laughed. Yes. She laughed. And then stayed "oh my gosh my brain couldn't handle all that. They don't take long to make." Not even an apology. My friend also didn't get the glass of water she asked for. Oh and she only came back to check on us and ask how the food was near the end of our meal. I ultimately got up myself, grabbed a glass, as well as a pitcher of water to pour for everyone because she couldn't be bothered to come back. Perhaps I should have asked for a tip from my fellow diners since I ultimately had to do her job. Top rated for wings? Nope. But definitely top of the list for one of the worst dining experiences ever. read more

I feel sick, lightly battered my ass. The fish and chips were barley edible. Fries were cold and the fish was mush. Extremely disappointed in my meal. At least the rest of my long weekend was perfect. On another note never order a margarita here read more

Stopped in for a bite on my way to whistler, very nice pub with large windows and views of the mountains and sporting events on tv. I had a good experience, good service no sticky tables and I didn't try the ketchup. I ordered a grilled Salmon sandwich which was rather good, and some beer which was just OK. I ordered some sweet potato fires with the sandwich and they were great, crispy and super tasty. read more

Laid back ambiance. Love the indoor patio surrounded by windows, many of which open wide for fresh air dining when the weather is right. The salmon burger, bison burger, chicken with Brie burger, and side salads were all great. Great food with locally sourced ingredients. Delicious and well priced. Great local draft beer selection as well. read more

Came with a group this past weekend for dinner after a long hike up the Sea to Sky. Lots of seating available - we sat on the patio and had a good view of the TV screens and a fantastic breeze coming in as well. Food was a bit on the pricy side, but really hit the spot. I had the Shady burger with yam fries(no extra charge) while my friends ordered several different plates of wings. The burger was top-notch and the yam fries were superb - perhaps the best yam fries I've ever had when eating out. I love yam fries/wedges like nothing else so this is no small feat! Everyone seemed to enjoy the wings as well. Service was a bit hit or miss. We sat ourselves as instructed but did not get any service for the better part of 20 minutes - both waitresses thought the other one was serving us. That said, our orders were taken and delivered roughly 30 minutes later - great timing. I ordered a beer just after my meal came and it was finally brought over 20 mins later when I'd finished and had no room. I should have sent it back. They made amends when it came time to pay. Overall, I like the atmosphere, the food, and am sure the service would be much better on a second visit. read more

Where to go after a Sqamish area hike. We found this pub by doing a search on the GPS. for grub in the area. It's a perfect after-hiking pub to reclaim all those lost calories you left on the trail. Everyone was pretty satisfied with the food, and one of our party who had the Salmon burger and said "it was the best one" she ever had! The Buffalo burger looked delicious, the salads were actually huge, which I had with a nicely seasoned chicken breast on top, although the chicken was a bit overcooked and dry, and I was not crazy about the fries, myself, but the onion rings looked good. There was something called "Big Bones" which was no exaggeration, being that these are Flintstone sized ribs and it was only an appetizer! it was priced around 11 bucks. The value is really good, even the Beer prices are reasonable. There's plenty of seating both inside and out on the enclosed porch-like room with a view. Of course the setting is awesome, so stars just for the view. We picked the round table, with a large ventilation hood above it and wondered what the heck that was all about. It turns out it was an old bbq. and as charming as it seemed at first, I'd recommend you choose another table, because 3 out of our seated 7 managed to 'crown' themselves with that hanging obstruction at one point or other. The decor is pretty campy. Do you know what a troll is? it's not the person who irritates you online, no-o-o, it's a gnome- like character seen in these pic'ts. http://shadytreepub.com/photos.htm Let's just say The Shady Tree is partly a troll museum. You spend half the time trying to figure out all the stuff going on in the diorama's up on the walls, and the other half bobbing your head around to catch all the games going on the multitude of tele's. The serving staff are well informed and obviously fans of the place they work. They're pretty good about special needs diets (there were two Celiac's and a diabetic in our group.) The bus boys were kind of brisk, swooping up plates before you put your fork down so they could catch the start of the Canucks game I assume, but that's okay. It's all good. Now I just realized that I ate at a place called Shady Island, and now I've eaten at the Shady Tree. wh-a-a-a-h? what shade of weird is that? read more

Oh. My. Lord. This visit was the best ever! My niece's flatbread & salad was gorgeous, my wife's Snapper Fish & Chips was amazing, and my Turkey Club with half-Caesar / half-yam-fries was RIDICULOUSLY INCREDIBLE! Great service. Good pricing. Excellent draft beers. You just cannot go wrong with Shady Tree Pub! read more

If your vegan there are no options other than fries. But good straight up pub food otherwise

A friend and I have been traveling through Squamish quite a bit this summer exploring, we had drove past this place many times but never stopped in. (I'm regretting that now.) Last weekend was our first time there as we desperately wanted wings after our trip to whistler. It's decent sized pub, kind of reminded me of back home (New Brunswick) very country. I loved it. The staff are very friendly and always make you feel welcomed even if you're getting food to go! We ordered the honey garlic wings and they were ready in about 10 minutes. Best wings ever! I'll defiantly be coming back next weekend! read more

This place is a stones throw off the beaten bath. Not exactly appealing to the eye at first. Once you start walking up to the building you quickly see this a unique restaurant. The staff was friendly and fun. They made us feel like we have been coming there for years. The food was absolutely great. I have never seen a salad with so many different, fresh vegetables in it. We will definitely be making this a go to stop in the future. read more

We go here quite often, most recently after mtn biking at Alice Lake. Fish and Chips... excellent. not too much batter. I usually have the salmon or prawns on their huge spinach salad, love it. Never had bad service and there is tons of seating. Looking forward to the summer when the large windows open up. read more

First the disclaimer. After a 2 day hike and camp out in the woods, almost any non-dehydrated food would taste really good. Now the review. The Shady Tree has become our reward après-camping at the nearby Elfin Lakes. The stairs leading up to the restaurant are not looked forward to (after hiking down 11k, the quads scream, even climbing the 8 or so steps!). But the nachos, oh the nachos. The specialness of their nachos is two-fold. First they layer the nachos, so you have cheesy, tomato, jalapeño bits to fight over up to the last chip. Second, they put a tortilla-wrap under the nachos, so cleanup is easy for the kitchen, and there is delicious cheesy, crispiness up to the end for us. The chicken wings were great as well, crispy not too oily or skinny. The ranch dressing was watery and bland, but the rest of the food, chilled beer and sunny (slightly breezy) covered patio made up for it. Recommended! read more

We had to make an emergency food stop on a recent drive up to Whistler and this place looked inviting from the outside so we decided to give it a go. The place is pretty much typical pub inside, but there's what looks to be a recent addition with huge windows and nice views and we took a table in there. The first thing we noticed was that the table was sticky/dirty. The next thing that caught our eye was the bottle of ketchup... yes, he ketchup. It was your standard Heinz ketchup bottle with the label removed, and some glowing red slime distantly related to Heinz ketchup inside. A quick sniff revealed the awful truth... horrible vinegar smell. it was bad enough that we even swiped a bottle from another table; just as bad. This should have been our hint to leave, but not only did we stay but I foolishly ordered fries. We started with the spinach and artichoke dip which was right out of your grocers freezer section and served in a stale tortilla shell. For my meal, I had the fish and chips. Both the fish and chips were cold and soggy. I had a side Cesar with it as well, which had apparently been soaking in dressing all day... the croutons were soggy and the lettuce (which looked like it might have started out life in pretty good shape) was sopping wet and limp. Basically, disgusting. The one extra star is for the good beer selection on tap and the huge TVs. There was a lively local crowd watching the hockey game when we were there. Looks like a good spot for getting a beer and watching a game. I noticed there wasn't too much food on the tables as I walked out. Apparently the locals know to eat elsewhere. read more

I have been going to the Shady Tree since 2000. This place always makes me smile. They have the best Nachos in town... Guinness and Kilkenny on Tap... & kick ass wings. Yesterday I went there and they had re-done the menu and I had a great beer... I have been thinking of it since then and would love to go for one right now. The team at the Tree always works so good together.. .kinda like a family. I love this place and with the growing community around I am excited to see it grow as well. :) read more

I've been to a lot of different wing purveyors including The Anchor Bar and Duff's in Buffalo and I can honestly say that The Shady Tree has the greatest wings in the world. Hands down. If anyone can figure out how they make them so crispy and juicy at the same time please share it with me. The only problem I have with this place is that they are in B.C. and I live in New York. read more

don't bother looking at their website, they never update it. There are many items that the website doesn't show, and the web menu has items they do not offer. SO ANNOYING! their food is good, delivery is fast, website serves no purpose. read more

A good spot to hit on the way home from whistler. Nachos are very good and are served with a very small portion of homemade salsa (could have use 2 to 3 times as much because it was so good!) it usually depends on the server and how busy the restaurant is but sometimes they will do half orders of the nachos which is great for a single serving. One weird thing about the menu is all of the salads are the same price on their own but if you get them as a side they charge you more for the spinach salad also for some odd reason you can not substitute salad for fries with the chicken finger meal. Drinks are a reasonable price and the staff is generally friendly. All around good pub! read more

My partner and I love this place! Best wings in town! Local attraction but they also make visitors of the area feel just as welcome! Friendly staff and the wings rule! Especially the honey hot aka fire and ice! Thanks Shady Tree! read more

Only 4 stars because it's impossible to get a table when the 2 for 1 appies hit, which is where the best value is. Kudos on the business for bringing everyone around in! If it was 2 for 1 appies all the time I would be here 3 days a week. Great food. Good sportsish bar. The only thing this place is missing is more seating area (nearly impossible without a second floor) and a few other good bars around that aren't a $20 cab ride away, which is out of the bars control, and slightly better priced/portioned appies on the other days. Owner is out front, saying hi and being a human being. Seems like the type of guy that will do whatever it takes including wash dishes to make the place operate at peak efficiency. Refreshing and recommended. BTW try the Buffalo burger and never want to eat the other meats again. read more

Typical pub food and OK beer selection, but the pluses are the massive portions (seriously..don't underestimate the portions) and the super nice waitresses. They also serve food later than pretty much anywhere else in town. read more

Free pool table. Friendly. Good menu selection. Ice cold beer. Perfect after climbing the Chief or on your way home from Whistler!

Must try their Jumbo BBQ Prime Rib Bones. They will either turn you into Fred Flintstone or make you fall in love.

Perfect place for dinner, lunch, drinks, whatever. Our group of four stopped for a late lunch after a long day and were immediately happy to be here. Clean, friendly/helpful staff, quality food, and good prices. I would 100% visit this place again and couldn't find a single reason not to give it five stars. read more

A completely random Canadian pub. Some pretty cool and cheesy stuff on the walls. Typical pub food. Lots of specials. Below average beer list. Typical pub wine list nothing special.

Busy Saturday night but still room for us to sit on the Patio. Good selection of beers and pub food. A little bit pricy but huge meals and really delicious! Friendly service and good pub atmosphere. I got the pulled pork sandwich and yam fries which was the winner of the night! read more

Been here a couple times and every visit has been fantastic. The food is awesome. The kitchen seems to really care about their food as all the dishes are well crafted and well made. Good ingredients, great portions. The servers are very friendly. The patio is also very nice. Definitely worth the stop when you're in Squamish! read more

We stopped in on our way home from a long day hiking & swimming in Pemberton and Whistler. We had a craving for a good classic burger & this place did not disappoint! The burger has good flavour and you have your choice of salads & sides with no extra cost for yam fries or caesar salad, which is rare. I had half yam fries, half green salad with the delicious basil vinaigrette wisely recommended by the server. The salad was bright with lots included, very tasty. All the staff we engaged with were friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was relaxing, and as a bonus, we were able to catch some of The Tragically Hip's last concert, which they were playing at a respectful level. All in all the perfect end to a great summer day exploring the area! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area. read more
