Went on their website and made a reservation for the 10 of us. One part of the website process is to enter your email address. While out golfing today I called them to just touch base about my reservations. On the phone they told me they don't take reservations. I said wait on your website it states no reservations between 11:00am and 6:00 pm. Me reservations was for a round table in the main room at 6:00. I was assured not to worry. So left our golf game early as I was a bit worried as I had organized the event. No tables ended up sitting in the back room. A table in the main room comes open I sit down, the next thing I know. Guy sits down followed by another four guys who tell me it's their table because the waitress was saving it for them. The waitress Kara comes over as I'm being harassed and tells me I need to leave the table as Martine was saving the table for them. The waitress says I need to leave. After over twenty years of coming to this establishment, in front of a group of men who are harassing me this is how I Am treated. I go back to the table I try to talk to Kara (after how horrible I was treated at this other table) she says we don't take reservations - I try to show her that they do according to her website) she states I don't have glasses and I don't need to have you talk to me like that. She states Martine was saving that table for those people. So there you go after years of being a patron to Kennedy's Pub it's ok to a) have people bully a patron but makes one wonder if they pick and choose which customers are closer to the server. Shameful. Lost a bunch of long time customers. And it is never ok to have your male customers bully a female.

They have a patio outside, a mezzanine and quite a few tvs for you to watch games. We got the pineapple wok squid, brussel sprouts and the big "o" chicken sandwich/burger. They asked if we want regular or spicy version for the chicken, We asked for the spicy one. The pineapple wok squid was unique as it had a slight curry flavor and the pineapple gives it a tangy flavor which is an interesting combination that works. I didn't taste the garlic in the dipping sauce, maybe because of the curry taste. It was good. The chicken burger was good as it has cole slaw, pickles, and range sauce. When we told the waitress that we were sharing, she asked if we wanted the burger pre-cut in half. Not a lot of places would have asked that, so that was really good of her to ask. The brussel sprouts were good too as it was crispy but not burnt. If we are in the area again, we will definitely come back, maybe for their happy hour

We arrived before 7, put our name in and saw we were not far down the list. We were told the wait would be at least 1/2 hour. Then we saw a group of 11 was waiting before us. They do not have tables for more than 4, so tables need to be put together and cleared that become available next to each other. After an hour we thought surely it would be our turn. We saw 2 tables that were empty next to each other that could be perfect for our group of 6. We then watched as no one cleaned it for over 20 minutes. We asked the 'bouncer' about it, and he said 'I can't tell them how to do their job'. (I guess he's not allowed to help clean tables either?!) There needs to be someone just cleaning tables and bringing water etc to make this place run smoothly. Finally we sat down after waiting over 1.5 hours. Our waitress seemed surprised we wanted to order food right away! Then another hour until the food came as there was a private party and the party of 11 ahead of us jamming up the kitchen. Eating so late is not our usual routine so I was not the happiest but as least we had lots of time to catch up with our friends! Not sure I will return on a Friday, but earlier in the week with 2-4 people is good. Food is Always great though and the prices are good too even for drinks. They have about 5 non alcoholic beer options too.

When I go to a local pub I'm not expecting trendy interior and top notch food. What I expect is cozy atmosphere, great staff and decently priced food which is exactly what this place has. The drinks are decently priced around $8 for an Empress gin and tonic. We decided to get some chicken wings to start and we both ordered burgers as our main. I didn't get a picture of the chicken wings because I was starving but they were served just wings alone no usual veggies on the side with dip and I think it was about 10 wings. The wings were good but plating could be improved. I ordered the crispy chicken Burger and it was delicious supermessy but very good. The fries were even better definitely home cut not frozen, they were crispy too! Hubby had a bacon cheeseburger and he said it was decent but also messy! need a few extra napkins when ordering burgers here. Overall we actually really like this pub it's cozy and you can tell it has a lot of regulars that come back. They also had keno and poker on the TV so we could do a little bit of gambling. We will definitely come back!

The bun was nicely toasted and held together well (which isn't always the case with gluten-free options), and the chicken itself was crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and packed with flavour. It came out hot and was served with a side of fresh fries that complemented it perfectly. The only downside was finding a small chicken bone in my sandwich. I let the staff know, and while it didn't completely ruin the experience, it's definitely something worth noting. Overall, it's a great spot for a tasty meal and I'd still come back, just with a bit more caution next time.
