Description

A lively Mount Forest pub delivers generous, mostly satisfying pub fare with standout items like Jäger schnitzel, Reuben, ribs and tangy bruschetta. The room is pleasant with a patio and ample parking, and prices feel fair for portion size. Expectations vary: some diners praise attentive servers and excellent meals, while others report slow or rude service, inconsistent cooking and occasional menu shortages. Worth a visit for casual groups or specials, but come prepared for hit-or-miss service and kitchen lapses.

As for the service, while our waitress was friendly, it was quite slow. We had to wait a long time for our order to be taken, and then we waited even longer for our food. I ordered a Reuben sandwich, which was just okay but quite greasy. My mom ordered a burger, and to her dismay, it arrived undercooked. When she finally received a properly cooked burger, the chef came out to speak with us, but instead of apologizing for the raw meat, he ignored us and chatted with the table next to us. Overall, our experience at this restaurant was disappointing, and we do not plan on returning anytime soon.

Checked this place out today, and was pleasantly surprised. Nice to have another casual dining location in Mount Forest (in addition to the Spot). Loved the atmosphere, and the bruschetta I ordered as an appetizer was tangy and delicious. The presentation of my fettuccine was nice, too, topped with a sprig of thyme. I'll be back.

Don't bother reading the reviews on Facebook. If anyone writes any negative words they literally will block you. This was by FAR the WORST restaurant I have ever been to. The food took over an hour to even get served (we ordered appetizers). The take out we ordered was FREEZER cold. And they never checked on us. We were out of drinks within the first 20 mins. I will NEVER recommend this place. It's horrible. Stay away.

Room for growth I am so pleased that their is now another sit down restaurant opened up in Mount Forest. This place deserves a second chance. I went for a business dinner. Large table and was curious to see how it was handled. They where out of the Sea Bass which I desperately wanted to try. The waitress was nonchalant, and polite. But service was quite slow. We waited quite a long time for our meals. The calamari needs a bit of work as does the sauce that goes with it. Drinks where great I would recommend the Caesar. I had a steak and baked potato and vegetables. The veggies where over done to mush I was the last of 8 to get my meal (15 mins after) everyone else was served and eating and to my disappointment my steak was well done. (Ordered Rare) To which the waitress replied Oh yea I had a feeling it might be well done but no offer to amend it. At this point I was hungry and ate it anyway. Steak was tender. My colleagues enjoyed their meals. A few discrepancies The Smoked meat sandwich looked like someone disassembled it and threw it on a plate, (although it was tasty with great meat) and the Schnitzel did not come with Spaetzle as stated on the menu. A few kinks to work out. The trout, wings, soup, cod, schnitzel, burgers and roast beef sandwich ordered at the table where all fresh and cooked well. A few kinks to work out but I would give it another go! Would love to see this restaurant succeed. Not a fan of the high seating. Ill be back!

Came for a really early dinner. Spouse got a roast beef sandwich with fries that she enjoyed! Didn't have much comment, but if she's taking the rest home, I know she liked it so I'll be fair with that. Tried her fries they were crisp, but completely unseasoned. I ordered their standard burger with home fries. The home fries were dripping in grease, the burger was bland no flavour, greasy, over cooked (they didn't even ask how I wanted it cooked to be fair), one piece of bacon crisp, the other raw. I mean...I ate half of it because I was starving, but when the best thing about your burger is the ketchup, you need to rethink either your meat or seasoning. I think what bothered me the most about this place? I left them with a plate over half full of food and the waitress didn't even ask if I enjoyed the meal that should be a no brainer.
