    patio area at night
    Matthew W.

    Good service, friendly staff, bar food. Nice collection of craft on draught. Outdoor "patio" is simply chairs in the parking lot.

    I had lunch today at the Snooty Fox. I ordered a pound of wings and a Diet Coke. There were quite a few wings and they were a good size. I ordered them with Lemon Pepper and was expecting a spice/rub. But it was lemon juice with pepper which was overpowering at times. Plus it made the crispy wings a bit soggy in places. I'd order wings there again but not Lemon Pepper. I used the washroom before I left. They could use a renovation because as I was walking downstairs (washrooms are in the basement), there was a gross smell of dirty washroom. Krystina was my server. She was friendly and helpful.

    I came here for dinner with a big party. I got the barbecue chicken sandwich, the beef soup, and tried a large variety of appetizers. The quality of the food was mostly pretty standard for bar food; however, their barbecue sauce was very sour, and guacamole was watery. The soup was also very watery and salty, and I would definitely not recommend it. The server was friendly, and the portions were pretty large. The environment was also fairly standard for a bar. The main problem I had with Snooty's was the price. I debated between giving Snooty's 1-2 stars, but settled on 1 star because the cost of the food was too expensive for its quality. It didn't help that the server asked if "I would like soup, fries, or salad with my burger" and my if I would like my "chicken breaded or non-breaded," without mentioning that both the sides and the breaded chicken costed extra. Overall, I would not recommend Snooty's for food, unless you're going primarily to be with friends.

    Daily Pasta

    Came here with a friend to celebrate end of exams as this is one of my favourite bars to grab food and a drink in the student area near campus However this time was not the greatest experience, it was quite packed as many other groups were also celebrating something and therefore food took quite some time (the server did come and apologize quite a few times, so it wasn't too big of a deal) We were fine as the appetizer came and lasted until the main course arrived. However when the food arrived I was super hungry but was disappointed to realize the daily pasta I ordered was luke warm and borderline cold. The cheese on top of the pasta didn't even melt when I was eating it. The garlic bread on top was also good as usual but the pasta no. I normally love the food at snootys but this time I was disappointed Would be 2 stars if it wasn't for my past experiences at snottys being good The drinks at snootys are also decent but not spectacular.

The advertised beer special was not available, sold out, but the waitress allowed a substitution. Ordered the steak n guinness pie and was surprised that it was indeed a meat pie, not just stew topped with pastry. Disappointed that there was no steak n kidney pie. The meat pie was typical pub grub. Not a lot of choice for someone that's lactose intolerant. Bathroom was clean, the staff were friendly and efficient. I stayed on the patio except to use the bathroom. Reasonably priced, would visit again if in the area.

Had some time to kill before a show so decided to check it out. Cool little place, felt comfy and friendly with what seemed like regulars occupying the bar area. Server was friendly, a lovely young lady singing, and our drink order was taken promptly. Then it got weird. Beers took a super long time to arrive even though the bar wasn't too busy. Food order was also taken quickly and took a super long time to arrive. Servers shift was done, we paid and were told a new server would be taking care of us. That never happened. As our glasses sat empty, the Mr. went up to the bar to grab another round. For some strange reason 2 beers at the bar were almost $2 more than what we just paid. That's not cool. The nachos were really good (although $4 for the very tiny side of chili was overpriced) beer was cold, but the service was disappointing. For that reason I'm not sure if I will be returning.

I waited to be seated and the front staff were very nice. I wanted to be by the fire and they accommodated me. I ordered a coffee, and mild barbeque buffalo wings. It came with french fries, gravy, blue cheese, and carrots and celery. I waited about 15 minutes, maybe 20 and my order came out. The waitress was so nice and polite. The coffee was amazing, because I have so much bad coffee when I go out, it stood out for me. The chicken wings were big and very meaty. The sauce was really good. The french fries were skin on, but not wedges. The gravy was very good and the blue cheese dressing was mild. The waitress came to check in on me three times while I was there and was pleasant each time and I was very happy with the service. The establishment was clean. Everyone seemed to be very busy. It was a very pleasant lunch. My lunch including the coffees and 20% tip was $23 . I would definitely come here again.

Sadly, after reading so many good things about Ye Olde Squire on Fennell we hit a really bad experience when we decided to try it. We went for the last Stanley Cup hockey game and even reserved because we thought that it would be great. The food was good but the service was unacceptable. I ordered a Virgin Mary because I do not consume fish, and when I flagged the server down because something tasted off, I asked her to check what juice it was. 20 minutes later, at least, I had to flag her down again. She said that she was so busy that she hadn't checked. When I went to the Bar the bartender said it was a Caesar. We had mentioned we had stressed that I did not eat fish products, and the Bartender's reaction was most uncaring. Her only response was that she could remake it for me, and it was said in a way that I told her to just take it off the bill. She told me that she wasn't sure that they would do that and that I had to get approval from the manager, (who was the server) and brushed me away. She apologized and stressed that she had order it correctly and that the Bartender had made the mistake. I stressed how dangerous this could be if people had allergies. She gave a one word 'sorry' several times, in a manner that did not impress me. She took it off the bill, but the accidental plugged an extra $20 onto the bill. Again, one word 'sorry'. I left a message for the Restaurant manager to phone (who was off for 2 days and to his benefit called me back). He seemed sincere and asked for two days to get back to me so that he could talk to these two ladies. Now it's way past that deadline and there is no phone call. I never write a negative review without giving the manager an opportunity to make things right. AVOID SQUIRES if you have any food sensitivities, allergies or preferences. For us it could be bad, for others dangerous.

Our first stop took us to Tiffany Falls, one of many in the Hamilton area. The water flow at this time of the year is fairly low but still beautiful. Our next stop was the nearby Sherman Falls, one of my favourites. This one has more flow and is more shaded. I could relax here all day. After consulting our online apps, we stopped for lunch at The Fool & Flagon pub. Our light meal consisted of a Scotch Egg, French Onion Soup, Fish & Chips, and Shepherd's Pie. The food and service were all pretty good, with generous portions. The Scotch Egg was perfectly cooked, with a nice runny yolk and crispy crust. The French Onion Soup was topped with lots of gooey cheese. The Fish 'n' Chips was ordered with two pieces of fish for sharing. It was also quite nicely done and came with a generous amount of tartar sauce, which is rare. The Shepherd's Pie was very good, perhaps one of the best I've had from a restaurant!

The food was fresh and I said at the time that it was some of the best pub food I had ever had. We turned into regulars and came back very often; usually a few times a week. In the past few months something has changed. The portions seem smaller and the food just isn't hot or well prepared. This has been our experience on our last three visits. The last time we were there we had food taken off our bill because it was really that unsatisfactory. Tonight I had the Sante Fe chicken dinner which is freshly battered and fried chicken breast tenders. The chicken was barely luke warm when it got to me and the portion was probably half of what it had been. The chicken was not crispy on the outside (like it had been in the past when we first started coming there) and there was very little buffalo sauce. The strange thing about this is the last time we went in the exact situation happened and the chicken had to be sent back. The last time they made fresh chicken, this time it tasted like it had been microwaved and sauce splashed on it. We are actually quite upset that we have had so many negative experiences here in the last few months because this really was our favourite local restaurant. We likely will not be back. Something has changed here and in my opinion if it isn't rectified they will lose other regular customers.
