I have been here about 6 times now and only had good experiences, today I had the chicken sandwich for the second time and it was absolutely phenomenal. The staff here are super friendly and Michael was extremely friendly and welcoming. More...

The half order of nacho’s was very disappointing. Very little toppings. I was surprised to be charged extra for sour cream and diced tomatoes.
If the manger, owner and cook would like a dine in of nacho’s at boston pizza i would gladly pay. Maybe it would help you to recreate your nacho dish.
Very very very disappointed. Cant say i will be returning.

My order was misplaced, so I could not eat with my group. They offered to promo my meal, which I already had a coupon for. Than they charged for gravy that was never in my soggy take out box. That being said, everyone else enjoyed their meals. More...

Went for appetizers and local beer - stayed for fantastic live music and great service. Definitely recommend the candied bacon and the “dinosour” was incredible. Excellent representation of local. Owner is very engaged and personable - Stopping by most of the tables to chat, check in on service and offer something new to sample. Definitely a unique and fantastic alternative to the “one size fits alls” pubs that have taken over. We will definitely be back!! More...

My husband and I just finished our night out for Valentine’s Day. The food was the best I’ve had in a long while! We will definitely be going back for another date night. Thank you to our server Nancy for making the night special and being a wonderful server! More...

Went for supper and drinks last Tuesday with friends. The service was super slow. When the brisket sandwiches finally showed up they were tough. The waitress agreed and got both of us with the brisket burgers. The burgers again took a long time to show up. Very disappointing that I still got charged for a burger considering my food came way after everyone else’s. Not a place I’d recommend. More...

The food rocks! Highly recommend any item on the menu. Fresh, unique, well made, well-presented, priced right and portioned well. Delicious. I’ve had about 15 different items on the menu. The drinks are local and unique, too. Lots of craft selections. Live music. Friendly staff. A present and caring owner. Great place to go and watch your favourite sports too. More...

Went in and sat at the bar for lunch and a drink, a god awful rotting smell coming from behind the bar. Moved to a table across the bar and informed the waitress of the issue. They all knew of the problem and decided to do nothing about it. Not enjoyable for anyone to be eating/drinking with something rotting behind the bar More...
