Thirsty Judge Restaurant - Bracebridge

Stopped in for a drink and decided to stay for what I did t know would be the best HAMBERGER EVER! Staff was friendly service as over the top! And we would definitely come back! A very please tell experience

I visited this pub for the first time on a hot July day. The bartender/waiter was extremely friendly, polite, and welcoming. He recommended the new menu and suggested trying the new burger and fish and chips. We followed his recommendation and my husband said it was one of the best burgers he has ever had. I mentioned to our waiter that I am originally from the east coast and that the fish and chips was one of the best I have ever had. He was happy to share information about the new menu and recent improvements. I highly recommend stopping by to try their new menu and experience the friendly atmosphere.

My family and I attended the Fire and Ice festival in Bracebridge, and we were disappointed to be asked to leave the restaurant because our party included three children. It was only 2 in the afternoon and it put a damper on our experience.

I made the mistake one day to try this pub for a lunch meal and a beer. Not a good choice. The service was very slow (not caring to give you a menu) and the food was not what you would want to repeat. The beer was beer.

Have enjoyed this place on evening solo visits after work - friendly staff, good sports bar with screens, and, until recently, very good food. Not so much with the new, reduced menu. Most recent visit had the veal parm sandwich with fries - disappointing, as in bland and boring. Have had better at Boston Pizza. Also, the regulars act like they own the place, and the owners might want to reconsider who they want to encourage patronizing their bar. To be fair, same problem, occasionally, across the street at the Old Station, but not so much. General decline of society thing, maybe, but I digress. Tough business, hospitality, wish them all well!
