The sticky floors, the…read morefast moving nonchalant waitresses, crowded spaces, and very loud patrons - overall, it's not a bad place with lots of beers on tap, clean glasses, and a direct connection to a bowling alley and diner, but it could use a little love. We decided to eat here with our group - food came from Fil's Diner next door. The fried food and generic diner meals were amazing: burgers, onion rings, fries: all very yummy. I made the Very bad decision to attempt to be healthy with my club sandwich and side of mashed potatoes and veggies: the club was awesome, the mash was not very good, and the veggies came from what must have been a very old, very freezer burned, bag of veggies that tasted like they were either over boiled of nuked just enough to become tasteless and awful. I realize this was a bad choice, but perhaps don't even offer it as a choice because it will only set your guests up for disappointment and grumpiness! Would I go back? Well, we ended up here because everything else on the street was packed - so if we were in the same situation again, Yes I would go back. Most of the food was good, and the drinks were flowing.

My father-in-law read about this pub online and wanted to check it out, so he, my husband and I…read morewent for dinner on a Sunday evening. It's a cute little Irish Pub. I had never been to Carleton Place before, and don't know the town at all, but the street it's on looks like the "main street" of small towns. There's no attached parking lot, but there's street parking and a public parking lot across the street (don't know if you have to pay for the lot, but street parking was free). We shared the bruschetta to start ($11). It was 6 pieces with a garnish of mixed greens in the middle (like a tiny salad). The bruschetta was good. It was nicely broiled and had cheese and garlic along with the diced tomatoes. I had the Coconut Crusted Haddock ($22). It came with 2 huge pieces of haddock. (You also have the option of 1 piece for $18). It usually comes with rice and steamed vegetables, but I was told I could substitute the rice for fries or mashed potatoes. I went with fries. The fries were regular cut and were ok. The steamed vegetables were mostly cauliflower and carrots, but I also had a few pieces of green peppers. They were ok, and made me feel good about myself that I had vegetables with my meal. The fish was excellent. Really flakey and delicious. It came with a creamy sauce and I'm so happy it came on the side and not poured over the fish. So the fish stayed crispy and I could control the amount of sauce. My husband had the Village Meat Pie ($18). He also got fries and steamed vegetables. The meat pie was a slice of a larger pie and not a small individual pie. It looked really meaty, but also had some vegetables in it. He enjoyed his meal. My father-in-law had the No Blarney Burger with fries ($17). It was a burger with bacon and cheese. He enjoyed it. Service was friendly. Decor is typical Irish pub. I enjoyed my meal and I think it's a cool pub. I definitely recommend it for people who live in Carleton Place or are passing through Carleton Place. However, I personally would not make the drive from Ottawa just to eat there again, as I feel there are comparable places closer to Ottawa, but if I was already in Carleton Place for some other reason, I would be open to returning to St James Gate.

Food was delicious and plentiful, service was great! It's a cosy, smaller room, but lovely!read more

We asked for a tea and got it 20 minutes later and after an hour I had to ask what was happening with our breakfast. She immediately got it but it must have been sitting there for a while because it was cold. Also they let people going around without a mask. Very disappointed because it was one of our favourite restaurant.
