    I really liked this place! Great bar and grill located right on the Grand River. The cod fish and…read morechips were delicious . Staff was very friendly and helpful. This place would be amazing in the summer to sit out on the patio.

    Location/Service Stumbled upon this place while doing a day…read moretrip. This spot is right by the river with patio setup in the summer. Inside is very big and can accommodate large groups (best to reserve in advance). You can also sit by the bar if you like. Typical bar and grill setup - I like the little pieces of decor to spruce up the vibe. Staff were very nice, I'd really like the bartender who gave recommendations for first timers and explain the menu. Food Menu has a lot of typical bar & grill items, but with a Newfoundland twists since it's Newfoundland style. So definitely try dishes that are more known on the east end - like Newfie Fries, Lobsters, Cod au Gratin, Newfie Steak Dinner. The steak is a maple leaf bologna and not you're typical meat - more of the saltier and drier side. Newfie fries is a type of dressing that uses bread crumbs and yellow onions - again more of the saltier side, but it matches quite well with gravy as a poutine. Food pricing overall is very standard and not overly expensive. Portion sizes were very generous, had to pack it to go. Overall a good find if you're in the neighbourhood and traveling, great to explore and learn more about Newfoundland food.

    Brewhouse On The Grand - I asked for some butter to go with my bread and look what she brought me ‍

    Sadly this place disappointed me today. I arrived at 1235 for lunch and ordered the power bowl…read morewith mixed greens, salmon, apple, beets, red onion, cucumber, and red onion. It took 40 minutes for my salad to arrive and my bread took another 15 minutes after that. It seemed to me the wait staff were walking back and forth constantly but not working efficiently. My waitress was not proactively checking in with me and instead I had to keep asking her for updates. It would have been a nice gesture if she would have offered to bring me bread while my wait time exceeded 20 minutes instead of waiting for me to ask. All I asked for was some bread and butter and I got garlic toast and a huge bowl of butter instead. I've been here before and it was never this bad so I'm hoping this is a one off. The salad was tasty and the salmon cooked perfectly which is why I'm giving them 2 stars instead of 1.

    We were looking forward to a relaxing lunch on a riverside patio on a beautiful sunny mid-week day…read more We decided to give The Brewhouse in Fergus another try. We had been here before , but have yet to be impressed by the food or ambiance. On arrival we were casually seated by a friendly server/hostess. By casual I mean that we were told to sit anywhere we would like. The patio was not busy. We ordered Fish & Chips and a Caesar Salad. It took some time for our food to arrive and served by a young and friendly server. The fish was a mushy something or another matter, covered in a tasteless breading. The fries were so-so and to give them a rating of 5, would have been a stetch. The whole plate looked like it was hastely thrown together. The Caesar Salad also looked it was just dumped on a plate. And as far as the ambiance is concerned, the whole place looked unkept, both inside and near the entrance. I very seldom review restaurants, but lately, with high prices on low quality foods, I feel that we should make these establishments aware of what they're getting away with! BTW, we also pay their waitstaff with generous tips!

    So disappointed in this place. We had other plans to go elsewhere and a local shop owner talked us…read moreinto this place. The place is called the cellar so you have to walk downhill to the back of the building so it's essentially "the cellar". The restaurant is small. Out of date. Dark. We saw their patio by the water and it isn't as nice as it sounds. There were wasps everywhere (which is no fault of their own) but the water was just green and brown and just not my personal preference so we opted to sit inside but it was hot. No air conditioning. The kept the back door open so obviously what would you expect. Flies. Lots and lots of flies. Everywhere. We stuck it out. The shop owner was raving about this place. We all ordered pop. 2 cokes and ginger ale. All flat. All returned and had water instead. CALAMARI was supposedly the best. Who doesn't love calamari!!? OMG it was rubbery. Hard. Chewy. And they deep fried as a whole piece. Not cut up. We were sawing thru the calamari like there was no tomorrow and all the breading just came off. You can see it in the picture already. 1/10 (COMPLETE FAIL) Next We decided to get poutine and share it. Their WlLD MUSHROOM POUTINE (Crispy french fries, served with real Quebec cheese curds, smothered in our famous wild mushroom cream sauce.) sounds yummy right?? No not what I expected. It wasn't the gravy I expected at all. It was a 5/10. The fries were crispy and well made that's about it. FISH & CHIPS. what can go wrong. It's so simple. Deep fried fish. Well it was so deep fried. That we could not cut thru the batter. It was chewy. Overcooked. And it was a literal shell of the batter left over. And only ate the inside of it. Fish was ok had it not been ruined by the batter. Again. Fresh cut crispy fries. 4/10 SHRIMP LINGUINE had 2 shrimp. Sauce was watery. Tomatoes were grape tomatoes didn't seem fresh. And mushrooms were just there. Not much taste. Bland. Something my kids would make at home and I would say is decent. 4/10. The server and everyone who worked there looked like all in their early 20s. They were "working". But I got the feeling they just don't care. Our server came to ask us how the food was and we told her When we told her about the calamari she said they get a lot of complaints about it and her answer was "that's how they cook it" (despite the complaints). I mean. Maybe you should listen to your customers and fix that??????? I do not recommend this place whatsoever. Should've just gone to the Elora mill or the other places that had good Google ratings and lots of ppl eating their food. How they have 4.4 Google rating is mind boggling. This place was NOT busy at all. Now we know why.

    Spotted this restaurant to grab a quick bite. The menu displayed outside showed lunch menu is…read moreavailable until 5pm but the actual menu says 4pm. There's outdoor patio or inside seating as options. Opted for inside since it was extremely hot outside. There is no air conditioning inside. It's just a fan and it's was still hot sitting in. Moving on, the decor is very out-dated. If you step on the stairs to the washroom, please be mindful and careful of your steps. It's a hazardous with carpet overlapping the steps. The smell in the washroom is not very pleasant and also out-dated. No one poured water until you asked them. No one refill water when the cup was near empty and they ask you if you'd like to refill some water. They brought a jug for you to do it yourself. Ordered the pork schitzel with mashed potatoes, veggies and mushroom sauce on the side. The lady said the mushroom was free and part of the dish. End up getting charged for an axtra $5 and she denied she told us it was free. Batter was not very cripsy, slightly wet but flavour was just acceptable. Bbq sauce on the ribs were extremely sweet and thick. Almost felt like the sauce was purchased from groceries stores and just poured onto it at the end for flavour. It was not based and baked or grilled properly. Food took long to arrive. Overall experience wasn't positive. I would recommend trying Elora Mill next time and call in to make reservation at Elora Mill as they were fully booked.
