Well, two years later and I'm afraid my original review no longer holds true. This place does disappoint. In fact, it disappointed me a lot on Saturday night.
As a regular of nearly 5 years, the consistency of this place is what made us come back time and time again. Personable service. Great food. Charm. Character. On this night,none of these things could be found. Perhaps the regular staff was away for the long weekend? Sure felt like it.
Our food was bland across the board. My go-to Rebel burger which I have almost every time I go, came on a rock-hard stale bun and seems to have shrunk in size. The wings were and very overcooked. The kettle fries were soggy and burnt. The service was inattentive and often non-responsive. We shouldn't have to track someone down 20 minutes after finishing our meal.
I'm not writing this review in spite. Just disappointment. But, I will certainly try our favourite pub again as it has, over the years, been a great place.
