Cool spot and wholesome locally sourced food!…read more Really neat that their brewery is so open air and flows right into the dining area. We ordered their: - Elora Borealis beer -EBC Burger (5/5) very thick and juicy! Love the locally sourced fluffy brioche bun from Elora Bread Co -APPLE BRINE TURKEY SANDWICH (5/5) real turkey meat and best side salad ever! Service was generally good but they forgot to put in our order so it delayed our food by 1 hour, they were nice enough to take one of our dishes off the bill!

Food is top notch!…read more We had maybe the best mozzarella sticks ever here, perfectly cooked and so cheesy! Also had a corn and chicken chowder (a special soup of the day) that was so good, we suggested to add it to the menu! My fiancée had the 'stuffed yorkies' and I had the 'turkey club'. Both were off the charts delicious and perfectly presented. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The beer was great, great selection of over 10 on tap, probably close to 15.. good variety and clean and crisp. You can tell they keep the lines well serviced. They have a nice darts area and provide the darts if you want to play. Also a bunch of board and card games too. Great evening, definitely going back next time we are in Orangeville!!

We arrived and the waitress served us right away. But our meal never came after 45mins, which was…read morefish and chips. Snitzchel (daily special) and cobb salad. We had a show to go to and had to leave. Was told at the theatre that this happened to someone else recently. If you don't have time to wait dont go to this place

Ate here while staying at the breadalbane inn which it's inside of. Went for a 3 day business trip…read more The whole inn and pub have a really old feeling to them since both are in a historic building. But it works. Overall the food is pretty decent as far as pub food goes. Price is slightly on the steep side for bar food but then again there are few options in town so it makes sense. One days lunch I got a Mac and cheese with peas. Super filling and rich. Slightly bland so put some hot sauce and slat pepper in it. Another lunch I had the salmon salad. That was super delicious and filling and the dressing was great.

So disappointed in this place. We had other plans to go elsewhere and a local shop owner talked us…read moreinto this place. The place is called the cellar so you have to walk downhill to the back of the building so it's essentially "the cellar". The restaurant is small. Out of date. Dark. We saw their patio by the water and it isn't as nice as it sounds. There were wasps everywhere (which is no fault of their own) but the water was just green and brown and just not my personal preference so we opted to sit inside but it was hot. No air conditioning. The kept the back door open so obviously what would you expect. Flies. Lots and lots of flies. Everywhere. We stuck it out. The shop owner was raving about this place. We all ordered pop. 2 cokes and ginger ale. All flat. All returned and had water instead. CALAMARI was supposedly the best. Who doesn't love calamari!!? OMG it was rubbery. Hard. Chewy. And they deep fried as a whole piece. Not cut up. We were sawing thru the calamari like there was no tomorrow and all the breading just came off. You can see it in the picture already. 1/10 (COMPLETE FAIL) Next We decided to get poutine and share it. Their WlLD MUSHROOM POUTINE (Crispy french fries, served with real Quebec cheese curds, smothered in our famous wild mushroom cream sauce.) sounds yummy right?? No not what I expected. It wasn't the gravy I expected at all. It was a 5/10. The fries were crispy and well made that's about it. FISH & CHIPS. what can go wrong. It's so simple. Deep fried fish. Well it was so deep fried. That we could not cut thru the batter. It was chewy. Overcooked. And it was a literal shell of the batter left over. And only ate the inside of it. Fish was ok had it not been ruined by the batter. Again. Fresh cut crispy fries. 4/10 SHRIMP LINGUINE had 2 shrimp. Sauce was watery. Tomatoes were grape tomatoes didn't seem fresh. And mushrooms were just there. Not much taste. Bland. Something my kids would make at home and I would say is decent. 4/10. The server and everyone who worked there looked like all in their early 20s. They were "working". But I got the feeling they just don't care. Our server came to ask us how the food was and we told her When we told her about the calamari she said they get a lot of complaints about it and her answer was "that's how they cook it" (despite the complaints). I mean. Maybe you should listen to your customers and fix that??????? I do not recommend this place whatsoever. Should've just gone to the Elora mill or the other places that had good Google ratings and lots of ppl eating their food. How they have 4.4 Google rating is mind boggling. This place was NOT busy at all. Now we know why.

Spotted this restaurant to grab a quick bite. The menu displayed outside showed lunch menu is…read moreavailable until 5pm but the actual menu says 4pm. There's outdoor patio or inside seating as options. Opted for inside since it was extremely hot outside. There is no air conditioning inside. It's just a fan and it's was still hot sitting in. Moving on, the decor is very out-dated. If you step on the stairs to the washroom, please be mindful and careful of your steps. It's a hazardous with carpet overlapping the steps. The smell in the washroom is not very pleasant and also out-dated. No one poured water until you asked them. No one refill water when the cup was near empty and they ask you if you'd like to refill some water. They brought a jug for you to do it yourself. Ordered the pork schitzel with mashed potatoes, veggies and mushroom sauce on the side. The lady said the mushroom was free and part of the dish. End up getting charged for an axtra $5 and she denied she told us it was free. Batter was not very cripsy, slightly wet but flavour was just acceptable. Bbq sauce on the ribs were extremely sweet and thick. Almost felt like the sauce was purchased from groceries stores and just poured onto it at the end for flavour. It was not based and baked or grilled properly. Food took long to arrive. Overall experience wasn't positive. I would recommend trying Elora Mill next time and call in to make reservation at Elora Mill as they were fully booked.

They let us use their dinner room for our work all day and let us close the doors. The inn also has 2 restaurants. One called scozia which is a bistro/restaurant. And the other a bar/pub with pub food. Overall decent food from both places. For a place like fergus where there really isn't much to do, these guys had many of their rooms filled mid week and always had a constant influx of diners and drinkers. The staff was also super nice.

After a few minutes, the server brought us our softdrinks which were very flat. We drank a sip and put them down. After fourty minutes, we asked where our food was and were told that there was a shortage of staff in the kitchen. Finally at over fifty minutes after we placed the order, we got tacos. We weren't aware that we'd be getting tacos as the menu is a bit complicated, but ok, maybe that was our fault. I asked the server to get us new drinks, because wed been waiting so long, that the ice had melted and the drinks were completely flat. The food was ice cold, and by that time, we were so hungry that we ate it. The server had the gall to charge us 4 x $4.50 for drinks, even though it was their fault that it took so long to get dinner ready. Our experience with this restaurant completely soiled the trip to Elora. What a shame, and what a shame of a restaurant. We DID NOT leave a tip.
