Turtle Jack's Appleby - Burlington

We went with a party of 10 including 6 kids. They seemed totally overwhelmed with the number of staff they had and it was not even half full. Our food took about 40 minutes to arrive (no appy) and when I enquired About the delay I was told by a flustered waitress the kitchen was understaffed and had been very busy and they were exhausted. They did kindly replace my blood orange margarita with a classic because it was very very sweet. The kids did not get the appy that comes with their kids meals, the kids steak was cardboard and hard. The tune poke tuna was good but rice was undercooked. It was a disappointing experience and I wouldn't go back. Seems like management needs to work on better staffing because the quality is not there in the food or service.

Amazing service! We ate on the patio on a Friday night and enjoyed the cheap apps and drinks on their late nite menu. Our server was friendly and attentive but didn't hustle us. Usually not a huge fan of franchises like this but this specific location is great especially their patio!

Very poor choice for vegetarians. The server said they can swap any meat out for tofu. Price still stays the same. Like uh, I didn't come here to eat tofu and pay the same price as a meat dish! Eventually ordered 3 cheese dip which was ok and the nachos. Sadly the nachos tasted like processed cheese and was not that good. However great service. Very weird interior, dark lighting and weird wood pieces everywhere.

I don't see a lot of Turtle Jack's around the GTA but Burlington has 2! I finally made it out for this one. It's actually open till midnight on Friday so it's a good option if you're looking to catch a later game or hang out at the bar. It was however a little confusing when we got there. The restaurant looked like it was closed because the lights were off in the main room and all the chairs were on the table. We called and they definitely were open! It's open seating in the bar so we were able to pick wherever to get seated. We did have a dedicated server help us out all night. There are special happy hour menu items for after 9pm, including their wings! The full menu is also still available. I ordered the Chicken Fettucine Alfredo. I've never seen this before but cheese was an extra $3! I was curious what it would be without it. There really wasn't any cheese on it. It was moderately tasty, pasta was cooked well. The chicken was a tiny bit dry. My boyfriend got the 4 Cheese Cajun Chicken Pasta which was much more flavourful but it was a bit spicy. I wound up dipping my chicken into his leftover sauce. All in all I thought it was an okay visit. The tables were a bit sticky and it definitely gave off more of a bar vibe than a restaurant vibe.

The food was pretty good but nearly $70 for 2 burgers and fries good... I don't think so. The service was fine but I wouldn't say spectacular. It is an average pub with much higher than pub pricing.
