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!

April 23/2023: This was a 100% low to mediocre meal…read more The place was busy but not jammed. it seemed to be a low end family restaurant. It was a "seat yourself", order your food & pick up your own drinks brewpub. The server themselves seemed to be doing little except deliver your food & clear the tables. My food was the TexMex Nacho Wrap ($17.00) w waffle fries. It SHOULD have been piping hot cause it took 45 minutes for us to get our food!! Instead, it was lukewarm with not much taste to it to boot! This was disappointing as the menu (attached) LOOKED very nice but the food disappointed. Our server(s) were less then polite & it kinda turned me off from the get go. As a seasoned restaurant goer...go somewhere else...this wasn't good. To the restaurant owner(s)...do a better job for crying out loud!

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.

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.

Made a reservation a few months ahead for a planned weekend with friends for a Friday night. When…read morewe arrived they had no record of a reservation in my name. Hostess kept saying I count have possibly made a res that far in advance. Kept insisting I called the wrong place. After lengthy discussion where she insisted I was in the wrong and she was correct, she told us that there were 2 tables available and she could seat us........why not lead with that?? Suggestion: "oh, I don't see a reservation in that name. Perhaps there was some sort of miscommunication. Luckily there are 2 different table options. Give me a couple minutes to get one cleaned and set and we'll get you seated asap". Next, the bartender came to deliver our wine and said "which of you ladies messed up and called the wrong restaurant?" ???? Again much better communication would have included "oh, Im so glad we could get you seated tonight" What an interesting way to greet customers..... Anyway, the food was good and our server was very pleasant so Im giving them a 3.

The drinks menu also covers everyone's preferences. The vibe is lively and many people come here to enjoy gatherings with family and friends. The owners deeply care about providing great quality and tasty food for their guests. And the service is fast and efficient. We ordered "Judge's Cobb Salad", "Roast Beef Yorkies", "Coconut Shrimp", "Judge's Pad Thai", "Judge's Baja Fish Tacos", "Judge's Reuben Club Sandwich" and "Judge's Fried Chicken Sandwich". Everything we ordered was fresh and tasted amazing. The Fried Chicken Sandwich included a huge piece of chicken and was enough for 2 people. Reuben Club Sandwich was so tender and flavourful and the melted cheese was an amazing addition to it. Fish taco and coconut shrimp were fresh and tasty. And Pad Thai was one of the best ones I've ever had. I would definitely want to come back to try more of their delicious menu items as they have so many great options.
