I am in Woodstock for work, and a colleague suggested I give this place a try. What an awesome…read moreplace! There is an outside patio, and a large open interior space - definitely a bit of a biergarden feel to it. You go to the bar to order your food and drinks, and tell the server where you are sitting. They then bring the food out to you. Let's talk about the food! More specifically, let's talk about the poutine! I'm not Canadian, but I have had poutine before - and theirs might be the best I have ever had. The gravy was amazing, you could tell they add beer when they are making it. I also tried their regular cheeseburger - cooked perfectly, juicy, and delicious. If I hadn't had the poutine, I'd give it high marks for the burger alone. Don't sleep on this place, it's great. Now, I don't consume alcohol, so I can't comment on the quality of their beer - but my work colleague said it was very good. I did try their vanilla soda - and it was really good. High marks all around!

Stopped in for a late lunch while in the area. The Jokers Crown is a fairly large pub with…read morecomfortable bar and booth seating, big screen TV's, and beer on tap. The menu is mostly pub fare with burgers, wraps, fries, panini's, and various appetizers. Nothing much different than most pubs. I opted for the pot roast panini with fries and coleslaw. The panini was ok but not with thick chunks of beef as you would expect from a "pot roast" type sandwich, just thin sliced beef. The fries appeared to be reheated and were quite dry. The coleslaw was quite good but quite a small portion served in a condiment container. Would have been nice to have a larger portion of slaw. Probably the best pub the area has to offer but I wasn't a big fan of the food.

Some friends and I were in the Norfolk area and they wanted to check out a winery tour…read more Unfortunately most of the wineries were closed for the season or on a fairly limited schedule. Fortunately, we found New Limburg Brewing Company. Being from the area, I've heard a lot about this place but haven't been. I've seen their stuff in the LCBO. I was also intrigued because it was all located in an old school building in Nixon. The main room isn't terribly huge but it had more than enough spots for our large group of 12 to sit. I loved the classroom feel with the piano, shelves of games, and the chalkboards. There's also a fantastic looking patio out front and an amazing back yard area. I shared the bitterballen, spring rolls and pepperette with my partner. We were warned that the kitchen is slower because they make everything fresh. And boy do they EVER. Everything we tasted was absolutely delicious. Hot, fresh and full of flavour. I wish I could have explored more of the menu! They had lots of really unique beers on tap. We especially enjoyed the mulled beer they had. It was warm which was interesting but it was still lovely. I highly recommend New Limburg as a spot to check out during your journeys through Norfolk County. This is a refreshing oasis in the midst of ...not a whole lot. I say that with all my heart. There's no folk like Norfolk!

I called up the restaurant, and it sounds like the guy who answered the phone was the owner having…read moreanswered on the second call. They have some fancy phone system with extensions instead of answering a single phone line where they screen their calls. They only have three tables inside, and claims to no longer have a dining cover charge. I asked if the patio was licenced, and he pointed to only having three tables. I was told to make a reservation because of their size, and told the owner that it's not feasible if I decide to drive up from Toronto to know what time I should make a reservation for. A very odd owner indeed. He doesn't remember yelling at the group of people who posted a Yelp review from six years ago, and the guy also posted his personal phone number on the review for a call back. I imagine if you buy beers from the bottle shop on a busy day you can't get seating in the summer they won't let you consume them on site on the outside patio. He was definitely annoyed by my questions. Don't want the trouble of meeting the Norfolk OPP to get trespassed off the property. I think I might skip this place.
