Toad & Turtle - Red Deer

Bars, Pubs, Canadian

The restaurant offers a wide variety of draft beers and tasty food, including excellent lamb stew and steak sandwiches. However, service can be slow and inconsistent, with servers being rude and inattentive at times. Prices are a bit high for typical pub fare, but the portion sizes are average. The noise level from multiple TVs can be overwhelming at times. Despite these drawbacks, the food is delicious, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is great for watching sports games or socializing with friends. Overall, the restaurant has its ups and downs, making it a decent choice for certain occasions.

Visited with my husband and another couple on a Sunday afternoon, sat near the fireplace and watched a great football game. We shared nachos and wings, all very good, and enjoyed several beers. They have a great drink selection and the prices are very reasonable! It's a great place to watch a hockey, football or soccer game on a week-end and enjoy some really good food. View all feedback.

We arrived mid afternoon. The place was not too busy - 7 tables. Our server, Jessy, came with an attitude. Slow. So slow that when our food was ready she was sadly not, so our food was cold when it arrived. Tasty, but cold. When we told her this she seemed offended.

We arrived mid afternoon. The place was not too busy - 7 tables. Our server, Jessy, came with an attitude. Slow. So slow that when our food was ready she was sadly not, so our food was cold when it arrived. Tasty, but cold. When we told her this she seemed offended. We were quite hungry and some sent theirs back to be reheated, some of us just ate the cold food. The portions were VERY SMALL for the price. She must have felt a tad responsible because she offered a small reduction on the bill, which also seemed to take a while. The shame in it is the food was tasty, but the service and price of the food left a bitter taste. Too many places in this town to go to bother giving it another shot.

Stopped for a late lunch, good menu choices. The service was a little slow to start and when it came time to pay the bill. However the food was excellent.

This bar/restaurant is average all around. The food is okay, but nothing to brag about, and the drinks were priced no different than any other bar.

As we settled into a booth around 10:30pm on Thursday, August 10th, a server approached us. The first thing she said was that they were out of wings and drink specials. Her attitude was dismissive and it felt like she couldn't be bothered to assist us. It seemed like she would rather us leave than make us feel comfortable in the restaurant. It was clear that she did not care about serving us.

The Maui ribs are fantastic, sweet and smokey.The soups here are always a good choice, today's was beef stroganoff and I believe they use brisket in it, the flavor was top notch.
