    Pub style fish and chips
    Tony R.

    This is the best patio in Waterdown! On a beautiful early Fall day, the patio was comfortable and surrounded by trees and greenspace. The service was quick and friendly and the menu has something for everyone. We ordered the pub style fish and chips and they even split it into two plates for us. The small garden salad is enough for two people and comes with a nice variety of lettuce and veggies and is very reasonable priced at $6.00. They have lots of room inside which looks like an old English pub and seems a ittle cold and drab. The patio was much better on this particular day. They have a great assortment of beer. and prices overall are great.

    Beef dip no condiments or au jus sauce

    Very low quality food got the beef deep and came with absolutely nothing very bland and no flavour.. I wouldn't feed it to my dog.. for mine and my wife's meal and app was 70$ for this dog food

    We were met at the door and guided to our seats even though the sign said to seat ourselves. We were given our menus right away but were allowed enough time to get comfortable before our waitress came to get our drink order (a real treat as this establishment has pink lemonade). She returned in perfect time to take our food order which was brought out to us incredibly quickly. We received huge portions of delicious food at very reasonable prices considering how much we were given. The server was friendly and even took some good natured teasing in stride. This was a fantastic experience.

    Enjoyed the outdoor seating and food selection. The chicken pie was delicious and there was a good selection of beer.

    Ok. Overpriced. Salty. Greasy. I don't think I'd go out of my way to eat there again. The patio was nice. The parking was free.

Upon entering the establishment shortly after 12am, I had to excuse myself to get past two patrons loitering on the front door steps inhibiting the entrance to get in. "Excuse me I said ", the one gentleman stepped aside saying sorry, no worries I replied to him. Apparently when I opened the door to enter my backpack brushed the other gentleman in the chest. Didn't actually realize until I was through the entrance, looked back as he was clearly overreacting to the incidental contact upon myself entering. I entered the restaurant, dropped my knapsack and went back to apologize to the gentleman. Words were specifically, " sorry my backpack bumped you went i entered, i think you kind of overreacted. " The other gentleman who actually moved when i excused myself passing them, got all indignant, belligerent, and agitated followed me into the restaurant looking for a confrontation. I actually unaware of this as it was unfolding was caughg off guard as my friends intervened what was going to be a physical altercation. It was actually, said gentleman was physical with my friend who was having my back, continued to be aggressivd. Taunted me, still being aggressive...upon which time the bar staff asked 'ME' to leave... are you kidding me i said, I'm not the person loitering on the front step, blocking patron and then getting aggressive abd starting an altercation. Not at all pleased with how the staff dealt with this. Total bs. I've been attending the Poacher establishment for close to 40 years. They just lost a huge amount of respect in my eyes. I will be sharing this incident with many friends and potential customers. Discouraging supporting this establishment. Not happy one little bit.

    Unprofessional and Discriminatory Behavior by Bar Staff…read more In Canada, you have the right to be free from discrimination in public places, including restaurants. I believe that our city has the potential to be a welcoming and inclusive place for all. I recently visited The Dickens and had a very disappointing experience, and I believe it is important to address this matter to ensure it does not happen to others. During my visit, I observed the bar staff member, taking multiple shots of alcohol while on duty. This unprofessional behavior was concerning enough, but what made the situation worse was the discriminatory treatment I received. Despite my attempts to order, I was repeatedly ignored by the staff members, while other patrons were served promptly. I believe the lack of service I received was due to discrimination, which is completely unacceptable. I got a dirty look from one of the female staff members, a short blond, while having a discussion, huddled with the other bar staff members. That's when the dark haired female staff member walked up to me and said they are denying me of service, with no explanation. This left me feeling unwelcomed, hurt, and discriminated against. To address the issue, I called the restaurant to speak to the manager. Unfortunately, I was met with rudeness and was unable to properly discuss my concerns. When I asked for the managers email, I was speedily told and then abruptly hung up on. Such behavior reflects poorly on the establishment and raises serious concerns about its commitment to treating all customers fairly and respectfully. I expect The Dickens takes this feedback seriously and implements necessary changes and addresses these issues to ensure a professional, welcoming and inclusive environment for all customers. I hope that this incident does not reflect the values of your establishment. Racism is subtle these days, existing in locations where it is difficult to see because it is viewed as a social taboo. I found it at the restaurant, but I'm not sure where else it may be. I didn't realize that racism still exists in some places. Until I saw it in front of my eyes. Black consumers had to wait longer than white customers and were refused service.
