    Meatloaf. Single carrot lol
    Riley D.

    This place is known for their fish and chips and I did NOT get fish and chips. That should be noted. The food was decent, I ended up getting the meatloaf and a Greek salad. The meatloaf was good and so was the salad, but nothing really blew me away. It was kind of bland, boring and basic. Definitely could do better. The meatloaf was tasty but underwhelming, had to add a lot of salt and pepper. The Greek chicken salad was underseasoned as well, minimal feta and the chicken was BORING. So plain. Definitely could have been executed better. Overall, if you're gonna come here, maybe just stick with the fish and chips. Why mess with a good thing?

    Stopped into the Pilot House for a bite of lunch while in the area. Was able to get seated on the patio which was a bit tight seating wise but had a comfortable atmosphere. The Pilot House doesn't have a very large menu, mostly fish and chips and British pub fare. I opted for the 2 piece cod and subbed out the fries for a Greek salad. The fries looked quite good but as was traveling thought a side salad would be a better choice. The fish was fairly good with a slightly heavy batter but not too heavy. The Greek salad was ok, nothing remarkable, with a fair amount of Romain lettuce, tomatoes, red and green peppers, cucumber, and canned black olives. The Greek dressing for the salad was a bit lackluster as well. All the substitutions were an up-charge so ended up being quite expensive for the two of us.

    A great addition to your historical trip through Kingston, Ontario. Ask about the history of the place. So cool! Great food, great service and a very cool building. Some of the best fish and chips I have had.

    Came here because of the Yelp fish and chip reviews...and man we're the right. Came after a rugby tournament..the halibut and chips was superb and the Guinness perfect. The staff were awesome. Will come back for sure.

    Best fish & chips worldwide, better than in any of the half-dozen foreign countries I've visited in the British commonwealth.

    Fish and chips and beer and deck in Summer. Nothing else. The company you bring will likely be the highlight.

    One Eyed Jack - Yummy prosecco!

    My husband and I were in Kingston for one night en route to Montréal. We decided to go to One Eyed…read moreJack for wings for dinner. We were seated immediately and our waitress came over within a few minutes. We ordered a bottle of sparkling rosé from the menu, but unfortunately they didn't have that one. The waitress was kind enough to offer us a different rosé, but we decided to go for a prosecco instead. Our only complaint is that we didn't get an ice bucket or any way to keep it cool when it was so hot and sunny outside on the patio. Regardless, we enjoyed it. My husband had the Mexican hot wings, which had a dry rub. They were crispy and very tasty with a little bit of heat. I had the chipotle bbq wings, which had a sauce and were very juicy and tasty with a little heat also. We both really enjoyed them. The waitress was very friendly and service was good. We would return the next time we're in Kingston.

    One Eyed Jack is a nice classic Bar and Grill. It seemed to be quite popular even on a Tuesday…read moreNight (it was wings night). The place was packed by 19:00 or so. Lots of parking and seating 50-100+ in booth, bar, and other configurations. It so happens that this local establishment has contracted a show magician (until end of 2025) that makes his (Rob) rounds through the tables every Tuesday. The service was ok, it felt like there was not enough servers for the amount of tables, but they were training new workers so hope this was a one-off. All the mains came out about 30-40 min after ordering but it was odd that the salad was last to come while the other food was ready. We did order a calamari and a set of wings with different flavors, those were out within 10-15 min after the drinks. The dry rub as well as the sauces were all great. Drinks were out within 5 mins being a bar and grill it, it wasn't a long wait at all. I had the Blackened Fish Taco (3 pcs): Blackened haddock on fired flour tortillas with sour cream, taco slaw and lime avocado crema for 18. For the price, it was great portions and food. Although next time I'll go for the fish and chips. The blackened fish wasn't very well seasoned and was quite dry, it was fresh though and not fishy. Lastly, we had their Cheesecake Factory cheesecake, it feels like either the Cheesecake Factory changed its ingredients or quality, but it was a bit disappointing; however, the portion was pretty good. This isn't really against the franchise, but maybe try something else for dessert. All in all, its a great place to host many people, easy to get to without a lot of traffic issues, near the highway AND the bar style food is great.
