The service if the poorest I have experienced. There was literally one waitress working the entire restaurant. We waited an hour for nachos and an hour and a half for our dinner to arrive. My dinner was lukewarm when it arrived and their was no point sending it back because it would have taken too long to track down the waitress. My daughter ordered vegetarian fajita's, when they arrived it was a plate of fried onions. I kid you not, all onions??? Would not recommend until they hire more staff. read more

3:06 Tracks Brew Pub We'd booked a reservation for a group of 12 on St. Patrick's day, late afternoon. The service was very poor. There seemed to be just one server who was working as hard as she could. After quite a wait to get the correct drinks and food orders, half the group got their food, half didn't... that meant six people had finished their food before the others had even started! Totally unacceptable. And when the food finally arrived, it was lukewarm and mediocre. We even had to ask for napkins and utensils. Come on, Tracks! Get it together! What should have been a great meal was very disappointing. I certainly won't be recommending you to anyone. read more

Been there a few times dining inside and out in the patio. There is great pub atmosphere and the food is pretty good for the place. Lots of choices for drinks as well with some daily specials. Had the steak and wings which were good. read more

My bestie and I had the most amazing time at Tracks after the Farmers Market. Kimmy was our server and was the best!!! She made our visit memorable. Service and sincerity was fabulous what a great day on the patio we had. Definitely will be back!! We loved the pics of the peas if you know you know!!! read more

The food was average and overall not worth 92.00 at the end of the night. Not returning. Back in 2004 place was much better. read more

Tracks Brew Pub - Nice to sit by a real fire (gas) on a chilly Saturday night. - Brewpubs Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

Tracks Brewpub is a pretty cool place to visit for a drink if you are in Brampton. Built in 1910 along the banks of the Etobicoke Creek, the structure that now houses Tracks Brew Pub was originally a warehouse belonging to the Brampton Knitting Mill. There are still some ornaments and details around the buildings that are from the original knitting Mill. Tracks Brewery is also one of the first local brewery in Ontario and has been brewing since 1986. Their house brew Old Mill Lager is priced at $4.50 a pint and on Wednesday Home Brew Special going for $4.05. The inside does looks dated, but I guess it is the charming part of it?? There is a decent patio and the inside is really spacious. Service is friendly, great place for a night cap and to catch a game and support a neighbourhood brewery! read more

See all

Probably a 3.5, but let's round up for the sake of math rules and Brampton pride. They brew their own beer, and the dark lager was really nice and smooth, virtually no foam but still very good carbonation. Only $4 for the pint, so that's great too. My wife and I shared 2 pounds of wings and a poutine. The pound of wings is very much to the letter of the law, so to speak, with about 7-8 per pound. That said, they're fairly large and they only charge $6 more for another pound - so the value is pretty good if you go that route. The hot wings were good. I should pay closer attention, but I think they may have been quickly grilled after they were fried. We did the dry cajun for the other pound we had was just okay however. I'd probably try something else, or just another pound of hot. The wedge fries for the poutine were nice, and cooked from fresh potatoes which is the dealmaker. The cheese was grated cheddar rather than curds, so not the real deal - but still good. It's a pretty large menu, and would like to see how everything else is. Based on my food today, I would anticipate something fairly solid. It's a heritage building over 100 years old. It is somewhat of a dive in ways (could use new carpeting); however it's quite unique, an interesting layout and has it's own charm. read more

Tracks Brew Pub - Homemade draught beer - Brewpubs Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

Walked in and I felt like I was back at home at my old country pub. Seriously, this place is a dive when you first walk in. But it does have it's charm. My friend and I chose a cozy place near the fireplace on a landing in these old, like old sherlock holmes kind of living room chairs placed around a glass table. We were there for their beer and wings Sunday special. We ordered them well done, a little cristpy wing with 1/2 hot and 1/2 honey garlic with a pitcher of light draft! Yum! We downed them and laughed at how we just kept licking our fingers after they were gone. Soooo... we ordered a poutine, which was small potato wedges with deliciously sinful gravy and three cheese medley! Double yum! Could be the cold weather, or the fact that I hadn't eaten all day or the fact that this place makes some damn good pub grub. I was satisfied. A little tough to find off Queen St, gotta go to the back of the building and down the slope. It doesn't look like much, but be adventurous and try something outside of the chain style restaurants. You will enjoy the country pub experience. read more

Tracks Brew Pub - Love the fireplace - Brewpubs Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

I came across Tracks Brewpub while googling Trivia nights in Brampton (which they host every Wednesday night btw). My initial thought was this place was going to be a dive based on the location and the fact that I had never heard of it before. To my surprise, the place is actually kind of cool. The menu has a lot to offer and the food is tasty - chipotle ranch wings are my jam. Both the food and the drinks are fairly priced, and the home brew is a nice option. Tracks recently underwent renovations, but kept a lot of the old charm (was a knitting mill back in the day). It has a large patio that you can enjoy in the summer as well but it's never overly busy so you get to enjoy that local bar vibe. Several TV's to watch the game and the service is always friendly and attentive. Worst part about Tracks is trying to find it your first time, and then finding the parking lot (behind the bar down a one lane alley). Give it a go next time you are looking for a place to grab a beer and watch the game. read more

Thanks to Yelp for helping us find a undiscovered hidden gem in a city I grew up in Being a first time visitor to Tracks we relied on the Yelp and previous customers comments and we were not disappointed A little hard to find when we arrived but from the moment my wife and I walked in we were meet by a super friendly staff member named Tammy we knew we would be coming back as regulars. Atmosphere was great, food was delicious and the home brewed beer was fantastic, my wife even had a pitcher of sandcrita which next time we will order a few for sure With my mom living just around the corner this will be our new place for our lunch outing when I visit with her . Been told the fish and chips are excellent which is her favourite Thanks again to Yelp for letting us know about of this pub as I would have had never had know to go to and my wife and I will be back with others soon PS--Thanks to Tammy for allowing me to sample a few fried pickles as these will become my appetizer from now on. :) read more

We (part of three) came on a Friday night and it was relatively empty. There was music playing initially and then live music. The poutine was amazing. We initially ordered one poutine and two pounds of wings. But when we were half way through the poutine, we ordered one more. The gravy wasn't salty which is a problem a find at many other restaurants. Cheese isn't the normal cheese curds, but it was melted cheese that covered the entire top of the plate. I really liked the poutine. The decore could use some updating. I think if the look is updated they can draw more people to come. read more

I go here fairly often because I work very close by. It's a great place to get chicken fingers (they are superior chicken fingers... seriously) and burgers and such. Really enjoyable french fry wedges, too! There isn't a huge selection of beer, but some of it is internally-brewed, which is cool--and something Brampton needs more of. As far as environment, the service is always friendly, though sometimes a bit less frequent than I'd like. There are a variety of places to sit, from a sun room area, to a patio, to a regular pub-type seating. There's even a fireplace spot if you can get it! Anyhow: this really is just a solid, comfy place with decent food and a nice atmosphere. I recommend it if you're looking for reasonably good comfort food. read more

I actually liked this place. Crowd is more on the older side with country music playing but the hosts are nice and actually pretty chill. Went there with my buddies and ordered wings...the BBQ wings with their in house sauce is reallly good!. Tried the ranch wings as well but the BBQ sauce was way good (this is coming from a guy who doesn't like traditional BBQ wings ). The in house beer is also good! They are a micro brewer and they have their own in house beer . The dark beer is personally better than the light beer (the dark beer is not actually dark but a darker shade than the light one which is like blond ) I think I'm ganna check this place out again . The seating areas are cool with a glass section indoor patio and other cool sections! Must check this place out if ur near downtown Brampton. read more

I stopped by here last night with my wife for dinner. We actually had a little trouble locating the restaurant and then once we did had some parking issues as all 4 spots for the brewpub were full. Thankfully there was a public garage a short walk away that was free on Sunday and so we parked there. We ended up entering the brewpub shortly after 5 PM to find it mostly empty. This combined with the rather rustic look scared us a little bit. Upon reading the menu we learned that it used to be a knitting mill and a lot of the building and decorations were left over from that. So that at least partially explained the cold and the plastic bag like ceiling. The actual setup of the restaurant was also a bit weird with a giant bar with 4 flat screen TVs in the middle and a number of separate dining rooms surrounding it. Even though my wife and I were still a little leery at this point we decide to start off the meal with the pulled pork poutine for an appetizer while I went with the chicken souvlaki for my entree and my wife went with the buffalo chicken wrap. Beyond that I also ordered their house made unfiltered dark beer which was the real reason we were here. It tasted much like a brown ale and I thoroughly enjoyed the pint along with another one later. Our poutine came out first and was surprisingly good. It consisted of potato wedges with cheese, pulled pork and gravy. The gravy was very good and had a nice flavor to it while the potato wedges were very crispy. Last but not least the pulled pork was also very good and had some barbecue sauce that gave it a nice tang. After we quickly polished that off our entrees came out. My entree consisted of a half plate of Greek salad, grilled chicken, rice and some tzatziki sauce. The chicken was flavorful and had a grilled taste while the Greek salad was refreshing. My wife thought that her wrap was good and I noticed that the potato wedges that came with it had the same great crispiness that really helped to make the poutine so good. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. At first the lack of customers and appearance had my wife and I scared but we left having enjoyed both the beer and food. read more

New management and recently updated with great exposed beams and a home like, cabin feel. This place is a tucked away gem of Brampton. They have a massive Patio, big flat screens, and stay true to what it is, a pub. The food is amazing, and they have great specials. I highly recommend their own micro brew as well. As far as the menu goes the nachos, wings, and country fries (with gravy or even poutine) are on point. The local brew they make is also really well priced. This place is a new favorite for me, and with their specials during the week make it a great value. read more

Heard the food was good, but apparently I'm 10 minutes late and they only serve deep fried frozen crap after 10pm? Absolute stupidity.. Least they could've done was take into consideration the customer is only 5 minutes late.. Good customer service goes a long way these days I'll be back Wednesday before 10pm and update this then read more

Tracks is a good pub that could easily be so much better than it is. They have two home brewed beers which are both enjoyable, if not spectacular. Does anyone else in Brampton make their own beer? Seriously, I think they may be the only ones. Also, they are very very cheap. And you can see through some windows in the place where it is all done. The building itself is very historic and gorgeous. They have a cool area with a fireplace and wingback chairs where you are very tempted to grab a snifter of brandy on a cold winter's night. Their patio is also very nice, right under the railway tracks which is where they get their name. The crowd skews much older (like 50's, 60's maybe) which adds to the unfortunate dive-y feel of the location. Skip the food unless you want very very basic things. I got the bruschetta once and the tomatoes were practically grey. I mean that's kind of my fault for getting bruschetta at a pub but still. With the right management, this place could EASILY become a more hip brewery with a more ambitious menu and younger crowd who's going there for more than a beer as they sit by the bar. It's almost a shame that this will likely never happen as they seem to be the type of business perfectly content with how things are. And I'm okay enough with that for now! read more

Had lunch today with my wife and mother at Tracks. I had the tuna crab sandwich with onion rings which was awesome ! My wife had the chicken penne alfredo which was exceptional ! And mum had a delicious greek salad. If you ever get the chance to try a pint of their home brewed dark, try it very good too. The service was excellent on the patio with our favourite Thursday waitress Kimmy who is always good for a laugh with her funny stories. Get out and enjoy this historic pub in downtown Brampton that has been there for years!! Always a treat Katie Kevin & Shirley. read more

Gonna give it 3 stars for the patio... Though gotta say beer selection is poor... Service nothing to speak of... And food pretty average... This could be a great little hangout but there's obviously no effort put forth to do so. read more

Tracks recently raised their prices and changed their fish in the fish and chips. While I don't mind the price increase (from $11.50 to $18.95) and like the option of ordering just 1 piece of fish instead of 2, I was very disappointed that they changed the fish they used. It used to be like a halibut. Thick and flavourful and worth every penny. Now it is like haddock and thin and dry. I won't be ordering fish again any time soon. Kim read more

What a dump. This place hasn't seen a stick of updating since the 80's. There is a blown out window that is just boarded up. The food is lacking in every department. It would be nice to see this place get sold and new management turn it into something fun. read more

Great little hidden gem. Out of the way but good people and good pub style food. They brew one brown ale that is easy drinking. Owner was on hand and loved talking about beer read more

Oh happy we would be to be able to hit this cozy little pub and have a delicious, healthy meal. Got to get with the program in this age of so many people trying to make healthy choices. The menu has too much fat, too much salt and too few vegetables. Come on guys!! read more

I had their famous Old Mill Lager which was a surprisingly dark lager. The locals call it "Old Dirty" ... Anyhow when I hear "brewpub" or "craft brewery" I have come to expect that they put the same amount of time into the food as they do their beer. It's what makes going to a brewpub a good experience. Good beer AND good food. Unfortunately for Tracks their food is terrible. Really really bad ... I've never even written a review before but I was shocked into doing so to warn others. We had a table for 4 and ordered a variety of dinner items on the menu .. all of which were disappointing. Our Nacho Starter had melted cheese on the outside but was cold in the middle (the cheese was dry and not melted in the middle) .. The nachos tasted like the ones you get at the movie theatre ... way too salty ... no salsa or guacamole or hot peppers ... My Veal Parmesan main course was so tough it was impossible to bite off a piece ... the entire piece would slide off the bun. It was like trying to eat leather. Someone else ordered the Chicken Parmesan which was served burnt and greasy and somehow tasted like a frozen chicken dinner put through the fryer. The Fish and Chips had a pool of oil and grease oozing off it and tasted disgusting. I'm not sure how you can mess up Fish and Chips. The side order of coleslaw was the only edible part. Finally someone else ordered a Caesar Salad. The lettuce looked like it was 5 days old and came out of a precut bag that you might buy at Loblaws. I'm a big supporter of local brewpubs (I wish there were more in Ontario) so it pains me to have to write this review. Brewpubs have a tough time competeing with all the big box bars like Jack Astors etc... so they need to serve "craft food" along with their "craft beer" ... that's what I expect. One last thing to mention was that the Mens washroom upstairs was full of tiny blackflys. There were 20 or 30 clinging to the wall above the urinal. Also we had to constantly ask our waitress for everything. Napkins, cutlery, more beer, please take away our awful food ... the only way to get service was to flag her down. In summary, Tracks has a decent beer ... but really awful food. Eat elsewhere. read more

The services is OK. The beer average and could be cooler. The food,, well that is a story in itself. what they call "Montreal Smoke Meat" is a few strips of rubber between stale bread. My friend had the sizzling chicken in a bed of grease. You'd think a simple thing of nachos could not be ruined. Guess again. Soggy socks would hold firmer than these. Here is a opportunity to create a great hide-away. They need to go to Montreal and find themselves a chef. eat before you go. read more

By far one of the worst experiences of my life. The pub is quaint, food barely edible, horrid staff. Gave them a few tries, thought maybe it was just a bad day for the waitress, but our experiences just got worse and worse. We will bring our business elsewhere, anywhere is better than Tracks. read more

We read review on Trip Advisor warning of Tracks being a little dirty and darkly lit and the food not being very good. Unfortunately, after eating dinner there, we found the same thing and both my husband and son were quite ill the morning after. Tracks felt unclean, had an odour, the food was greasy and overcooked. We drank beer from cans as didn't trust what was on tap. That my child spent the morning vomiting really upset me. Never returning. read more
