Both dinners were decent portions and filling. The rice has improved as well. The chicken and rib combo was realy good. Kudos on the kitchen staff for making our dinner enjoyable. I increased my rating from 3 to 4 stars. I recommend this restaurant for delicous pub and bar food. Their menu is diverse and most of the items are a hit.

I had the fried shrimp sandwich (on a separate menu) and my partner had the fish and chips. The food was definitely pub food. I enjoyed my sandwich a lot but it was massive.

I would gladly drink soda water.... Marissa slow down with the power you have , you extend it too far over and over again, You love your favourites , but that's not fair to those you choose not so much attention, Good luck ! You are the worst bartender I have ever seen in 50 yrs .

It was also the special at Mackenzie Pub in Ajax, every Friday - only $12.95. This was a reunion of sorts with friends from high school so having a drink with them was appropriate. A shot of Appleton Rum with Coke was my drink of choice. Service for our group was very good, not always the case at some places I've been to. No orders got mixed up, used plates and glassware were cleared efficiently. Good service, good food, very reasonable prices. What else could we wish for?

This is a very spacious bar with tons of tvs for sports watching and a great big patio in the back. I had the buffalo wrap with an upgraded poutine and salad - no complaints! Everything was good!

At first we thought it was perhaps due to our large party (10-12 ppl), but then perhaps our server just forgot to submit part of our order or the kitchen missed it etc. If it wasn't for the after 9pm appetizer special and their wings, I would probably never return. Please be forewarned of the inconsistent service and possible long wait for food etc. Hope there will be some improvement sooner than later!

This was our most recent visit to St Louis bar & grill. We were looking for a good happy hour deal…read moreand saw the $4 appies and drinks. We ordered Angus burger with fries $12.99 and Chicken lettuce wraps $11.99. The burger was thick and juicy. Great tasting burger with nice grilled taste. The fries portion was too small. Perhaps cost cutting since it was in the happ hour menu. The chicken lettuce wraps were top notch excellent flavor profile. I can taste the hoisin sauce and mixture of fried onion rings, peppers, and onions. Great dish, only wish they gave more lettuce. The beers are cheap here however when the server offerred us an upgrade to Devil sized draughts for $1 we were sold on it. Unfortunately, when the bill came we were charged $6.99 per 24oz pint instead of $5. My wife didn't want to complain and paid the bill. This left a bad taste in our mouth no pun intended. Please do not mislead customers on drink upgrades or ensure the accuracy of the order. Overall, the happy hour menu is decent. We will try the $4 sliders, cheesy honey buns, and pickle coins next time. Beware of food and beverage upgrades and check your bill before paying. I hope the service and food portions improve next time. It will be a while before I come back!This was our most recent visit to St Louis bar & grill.

I ordered my usual Lemon Pepper dry rubbed wings, with fries. It was a good portion, with crispy fries but the wings appeared really dark and a bit burnt. Maybe stale oil?

Our evening on their spacious patio started with some refreshing cocktails - Tequila Sunrise, Grand Thai Tea, and Sparkling Mango Mint. They looked good and tasted great! We ordered the Sharing Platter to start, while we decided on the rest of our meal. It included chicken tenders, onion rings, garlic cheese fingers, pickle spears, carrot and celery sticks, and assorted dips. It was all good! For our main courses, we got a bit carried away. Everything on the menu looked really good and it was hard to choose so we ended up with Fish Tacos, Triple Decker Club Sandwich, Chicken Cobb Salad, Buffalo Chicken Pizza, Fajitas, and the Kids' Burger. Everything tasted great, with the fish tacos, cobb salad, and fajitas being our favourites. If we weren't so stuffed, we would have tried their desserts. Next time. With good food and good service, we'll definitely return!

Your first order is 6 wings after that you get 4 and it's annoying waiting between orders. It's what you expect from a Bar...greasy fries, old washrooms, and a big TV over the bar. A decent spot, but not worth getting excited over. Beware though..it's not free refills. I paid over 9$ for name brand coke.... Overall 2 of 5

I had seen tons of signs around the local area promoting the "all you can eat wings."…read moreI thought it was a great concept, I just never took the time to go check it out. One night the guys from work and I decided we would go for a beer & wings. $13 for the all you can eat wings, and we split a pitcher. You pick your sauce and you start with 6 wings...........then slowly......... yep........ slowly they bring you refills of 4. They make you wait. No doubt part of the strategy, I assume they hope you get full waiting. Perhaps they think it will reduce waste. During our visit we got full while waiting and two us wasted 3 of the 4 wings each. I think this is such a stupid practice. (A) I'd never suggest anyone check it out! So no good word of mouth coming from me (or anyone in my group). (B) I'd certainly not rush to go back here, not now, possibly not ever. During our visit I asked the lady if we could double our order, I let her know I'd eat over 10 wings easily. I was told, "no, other people are waiting." Like you cant drop more in the fryer ? The kicker, the place had two other tables of apx 3 people per table. So 9 people including my group. But again, this is what they make you do. Slow service hoping you get full. I guess they want your $13 and no repeat business. Bar is dated and old looking, as I would suspect. Bathrooms were AWFUL. To be fair I should add, the wings were decent in size. The sauces are just your local grocery store sauces. The wings are all cooked the same, then sauced in your pick. We tried the HOT - it was dusted with some odd spice, not good. The Bufalo wings we ok. The sweet chili reminds me of the PC sauce I buy from no frills, and the parm/garlic were decent. All in all I would not go back. The expericne does not warrant another visit. The way in which they serve the customers is just off putting.

Not a lot of great options in the Pickering area yet for foods, but we stumbled across The Social…read moreBar & Lounge. For those who are familiar, this is very similar to Smash Kitchen vibes. 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.

This venue is very intimate and comfortable for a birthday celebration…read more The owners are very friendly and kind. The food prepared for the party were delicious. We got fried fish fillets, beef caldereta, Filipino spaghetti, and roasted chicken. They have state of the art sound equipment and lights. There are LED screens around the venue for karaoke or playing videos or photo slide shows. I recommend this venue if you're looking to organize a party. They do have live band music on the weekends. Be sure check their website for details. Thank you Elevate Lounge for hosting my sister-in-law's birthday party.

This little Wing Stop offers some delicious wings in Ajax backed by amazing service…read more The prices are very good for the amount of wings and fries in a single combo (with drink!). The wings are breaded, crispy, and the sauce takes them over the top. The fries have bite, and they're golden brown. But all of this pales in comparison to the incredible service. One woman is working hard running the front of the house and take-out while the cook runs the kitchen in the back. Two people are absolutely rocking the place. My only gripe is the bathrooms need a bit of a helping hand, the toilet paper ran out and they need some cleaning. I really love the wings here and I'll be back for more!

I found The Wing Spot on Yelp. On Saturday, I decided to have lunch here after running some errands…read morein Ajax. Where there are wings, there's me. The Wing Spot is next door to Sunset Grill. I love Sunset Grill. For a brief second, I had thought about going right. Instead, I stuck to my gameplan and went left. The place was empty just before 2 pm. I decided to dine in. There were plenty of booths and NCAA basketball games were on all TVs. My server was great, but perhaps too chatty. He told me that they were short-staffed and that he was working extra hours. Um, okay. I got a menu and took a look. I went with the single deal, which is a pound of wings (you choose one flavour only), with fries and veggies, and a can of pop. I didn't see the fries and veggies part until my server let me know. So, his chattiness did help. He also let me know that this place has been open since December 2018. I asked for gravy for the fries. It was going for $2. I was game. I also went with garlic explosion for my wings. I got my food pretty fast. He also came back with napkins and cutlery, as they were missing at the table. The wings were hot, crispy, and packed with flavour. I loved the garlic explosion so much that I ended up dipping my fries in the gravy, and then rolling them in what was left of the garlic explosion mix in my basket. So good! The gravy was delicious! It came piping hot and made regular fries a ton better. The veggies consisted of one carrot stick and one celery stick. If you are looking for a serving of veggies, you aren't getting them here. It came with ranch dressing, which was good. The garlic flavour lingered in my mouth for nearly two hours. It's a good sign of deliciousness for me. Sure, you will die if I breath on you, but that's a risk that you may need to take. The server had obviously worked more hours than he should have. He let me know that he was leaving and apologized for perhaps looking unprofessional. I completely understood and his heart was in the right place. The downside was the pass-off between this server, the guy in the kitchen, and the new guy taking over serving duties. I heard my server talk to the kitchen guy that I was in the dining area. The kitchen guy didn't tell the new guy. So, I didn't get any service. Instead, I went up to the counter and asked for my bill. I don't blame the new server taking over. He didn't know. There needs to be better communication between staff members, so that customers are not left hanging. This place accepts debit and credit cards, and cash. I paid with a debit card. The washroom is unisex. There is only one. It was clean and spacious. There were tons of hooks to hang up your jacket or purse, which I appreciated. I felt comfortable eating here. There were lots of games to watch and the booth was roomy. I'd come back here again. There were many folks ordering takeout. I may just do the same where I am in town again, likely giving Sunset Grill a visit. (108)
