This place has the best food in Kingsville but i have to take a star off for the difficulty in making reservations. The only way to make a reservation is by calling in and the phone lines are always busy so you may need to call 10+ times to get through. You need to call more than a week in advance for a reservation on a Saturday night. While they offer takeout with online orders, they don't accept gift cards online. That being said every food item is phenomenal. My favorite burger is the black n blue but sadly they took this off the menu. Any of their mac n cheese variations are also top notch. read more

The Goose - a hamburger and fries - Gastropubs Near Me - Kingsville, Ontario

So this place is now called the Goose and has changed to a finer dining restaurant. My wife and I decided to check it out on our last visit to Kingsville on October 14. We were not impressed. Their Caesar salad has fried capers in it which made the salad extremely salty! We ended up picking them out. My wife ordered Moscow Mule to drink and it had whiskey in it instead of vodka. I ordered the filet medium and it was medium well to almost well done. Her Korean fried chicken was ok, nothing special. The noise from the kitchen made the entire dining experience even more un enjoyable. They should probably think about putting in a door. Now the laughable thing for us in the dining room was that every time the dishwasher kicked on, the lights in the dining room went dim. We definitely would not recommend going here and we definitely won't return. On the plus side, the service was good. read more

A little on the pricier side but man the serving sizes make up for it! The fish is fresh and beyond delicious. This pub is kind of like a whole in the wall, you gotta find it to enjoy the deliciousness. Our waitress was checking in us constantly asking if everything is good and it's just a little tavern vibe which I loved. read more

Wow! I was recommended Jacks by a friend in California who'd stayed here and by a local colleague here in Kingsville. It's my first time in the area so had to stop by. I was not disappointed. My server was the most friendly, welcoming, attentive, just overall ball of sunshine and I loved her energy. I started off with the Peach Melba Bourbon Smash (can't pass up a chance to have some delicious Bulleit. It was a little too sweet for my liking but it was still good. For my appetizer I had the fried artichoke hearts and they were perfectly cooked and breaded and the sauce bed they lay in was pretty tasty as well. For my meal I ordered the yellow perch and chips with a side of kung pao brussel sprouts. The brussel sprouts were phenomenal! Absolutely try the Brussel sprouts if you stop by. The perch and fries were good as well. The coleslaw.... Well, I'm a southern girl so it just wasn't my cup of tea, but hey, can't win 'em all right? I expect a cup of sugar in my coleslaw lol. With my dinner I had the Mango Pineapple and Jalapeño margarita and it was delicious. I will absolutely come back to Jacks, in fact, next time I plan to book a room for my stay. read more

A fantastic gastropub and nano-brewery! Portions are generous, without being overwhelming, and wait staff is friendly and helpful! I had the pork loin, which was tender and flavourful, with ice cream and a light fluffy brownie for dessert; both were fantastic. Their coffee Cream Ale, brewed in house, paired wonderfully with both. read more

Came home to Windsor this past weekend for my sister's bridal shower. Sunday, we had nothing planned and decided we wanted to go out for lunch out in Kingsville, since we were staying in Harrow. It's nice to come home and see the beauty of Essex County when you have moved away for a while. We stopped in at Jack's Gastropub, because I've heard so much about this place. The exterior to this place is an old house/inn situated with a patio. It's very quaint and the patio was filled with patrons, so you know you're going into something good. I went with my sister and a friend of ours on a Sunday afternoon around 1:30pm, and the place was packed. We walked up the stairs into the restaurant so we could get seated, waited for a couple minutes then was seated outside on the patio. The day was warm, cool in the shade. The whole ambiance and atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. The staff on duty were very friendly, and always on top of our needs. The menu was full of selection and my friend and I decided on the Canadian Club with sweet potato fries. There was a choice of two dipping sauces, so we each had one of them and shared, both delicious. I loved this sandwich. The chicken was cooked to perfection, not dry at all, the cheese was delicious, and it had thinly sliced apples on it, what a crunch. My sister got the Irish Nachos, in which we all indulged in. The cheese sauce was delectable, the pulled pork was sweet and full of flavour and the kettle chips had that perfect crunch. Next time I come home to visit, I'll be looking to bring my boyfriend who isn't from around this area to this place to show him what Windsor/Essex County is all about. One of the best things about Jack's is they pride themselves on sourcing from local growers and farmers around Essex County, and makes you proud to know where you came from. read more

A lovely and quaint place for lunch or dinner! The service was friendly and efficient and the food was just fantastic! I visited twice in 24 hours because I was determined to try as much food as possible! For dinner I ordered the beef brisket sandwich which was the perfect size and came with fresh cut fries and a delicious sauce for dipping. The beef was incredibly tender and flavourful! I followed this up with the dessert spring rolls which were absolutely to die for! If you can avoid sharing them, make sure you do haha! The next day for lunch I came back and tried the Canadian Club sandwich on naan bread and just loved the crunch of the apple with the delicious grilled chicken and sauce. The only thing I really didn't like was the coleslaw. Even though a friend who had visited warned me in advance of its lacklustre flavour, I still ordered it anyways to see for myself and the verdict is consistent. It's lacking serious flavour unfortunately. Other than that, a great place to eat and visit (especially in the warmer months when the garden is in bloom). read more

To be honest, we were a bit disappointed with our meal experience based on many great reviews I read. We sat in the bar and waited for our seats. My husband and I got a local cream ale, it was quite good although mine didn't quite have the same flavours as his. I didn't see them change kegs, but maybe it was the glass. For the meal itself, we ordered Panko-crusted pickerel with fries and slaw. The sides were pretty good, but the fish, which admittedly we had great expectations for, was not so good. It was rather dry and lacked flavour. They put rosemary in the coating which we found over-powering and the raspberry tartar sauce was too sweet. We would have preferred a basic tartar. It felt like they were trying too hard by creating these flavours which didn't really match. It also took quite some time to get our food. By the time we sat down the place had quiet down considerable. But maybe some staff had to take a break after the rush. Regardless, the setting is very nice and I'm sure the other dishes are worth trying. But I'd stick to more traditional options next time. read more

LOVED this place!! My husband and I came to the area for a weekend getaway from Pittsburgh and found this place on Yelp when searching for a dinner spot. Every staff member was friendly and we loved the unconventional location situated inside an old house- very unique. We shared the poutine for an appetizer and I had a small caesar salad. Both delicious! For our mains we tried two of their specials. The pork shank mac n cheese, and the butcher bill burger. Everything tasted amazing! Great quality food that we'll definitely enjoy the next time we're up here visiting! read more

Four if us wandered in for lunch on a cold Thursday afternoon, after having a family member gave about this place. We were greeted right away and escorted to the upper level of the restaurant (the restaurant is a large house converted into a dining establishment). Our waitress, Heather, dropped by a few minutes later, dropping off a MEMBERS menu and daily specials. When she returned, we inquired about the "Members Menu" as it had a few items on it that looked interesting. For $20, you join the club and collect points, getting a $25 discount when you hit 400 points (points are earned as 1 point for every dollar spent). On top of that, you get a $20 voucher for your next visit, so joining really costs nothing. I joined. Two of us ordered the Curry Coconut Chicken Wrap.....it came in a bowl of rice, peppers, onions and curry, with the wraps being lettuce. It was deliscious....would definitely order again. One person ordered the Jack Burger and was asked what kind of meat he wanted (choice of beef, lamb, chicken or turkey). He ordered beef. When it came out it was huge and he thought he wouldn't be able to finish it, but he said it was fantastic and finished it off. The last person of our group ordered perogies with beef tips. I didn't sample it but it looked amazing and he woofed it down. He said he'd order it again. So...all of us were impressed with our food quality and vowed to return. Heather was amazing. She was patient, engaging and checked on us frequently, despite working two different floors. read more

We ate here twice during a short stay in Kingsville. Husband really liked the burgers, I really liked their Canadian Club flatbread. We also met friends here for lunch - service was good and it's a great atmosphere. Our friends are locals; I think they'll be back. So will we, when we're back in town. Choices of beers were quite good, it made my husband the craft beer snob happy. We also stayed at the Lil Heart and Soul Inn, which we were very pleased with. We'd stay there again. read more

Have been here a few times and loved it. Our last visit I decided on a burger and was very disappointed. Was like a slider patty in a regular burger bun. Will return, just not for the burgers. read more

Visited this place twice for lunch during a recent business trip to the area. First thing you notice is the cosy feeling and friendly smiles as you enter. Great decor and eating environment with a fantastic menu. The Throwback special option is a really nice and original idea. The food was exactly as it should be, hearty and beautifully cooked. Thoroughly recommend the Cajun spiced mayo to accompany your fries. Will definitely be back the next time I am in the area. Keep up the great work guys. P.S. I forgot to mention the amazing beer selection! read more

Where to start? I was in town for a week working and somehow found this gem. The food is remarkable. The service is spectacular. The lodgings are divine. But the real thrill of this place is not only all of the things I have already mentioned but the people. The people who own it, the people who work there, and the people who visit. I felt like I was welcomed in by every single person I met while dining, drinking, and hanging out. I have never had a more remarkable work trip. Usually, I can't wait to leave but this time, I wanted so badly to stay. I can't wait to go back!!! read more

I ordered a burger without the bun. They could have dressed it up a bit with tomato or lettuce ya know, but I got a plate with a single patty on it. The fries were the size of a small coffee cup & on the heavy side doused in way too much grease. So a plain patty & 12 greasy fries for 20 bucks? No thanks! read more

DELICIOUS! Great atmosphere, delicious food, great service. The restaurant is located in a beautiful house, with indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit on the porch, over looking the quaint town of Kingsville. We ordered the Irish Nachos to share, Escobar Burger, and the Skirt Steak Tortellini. Everything was very well flavored and portion sizes were generous. Our waiter, Zack, was attentive and friendly. He even gave suggestions after our meal for things to do in town. The prices are on the high side. read more

The Jacks burger was de-licious. Perfectly balanced, all the right elements. Fries were super tasty, no complaints there. Really enjoyed the atmosphere as well. Lovely staff - even helped us come up with activities to do in the area. read more

Had a great Sunday visiting Canada.First, it was Jack Miner's bird sanctuary and then Point Pelee Provincial Park in Leamington. While there we decided to find somewhere for a late lunch.checked Yelp and asked some locals at the park what they thought of Jack's Gastropub in Kingsville, ON. They gave it a thumbs up so we gave it a shot. Nice porch seating on a sunny Sunday. Great draft beers, decent food, and excellent service.The food we ordered were lamb burgers, chicken on flatbread and a salad. All were okay. The poutine, french fries with a brown gravy were a big hit. Well worth the stop. read more

My husband and I have been to jacks on plenty of occasions and is definitely one of our favourite places. We love the burgers and I like that they have a new weekly burger to try. The service had always been great and the desserts are heavenly! If you're looking for a quality burger, go to Jack's! read more

Stayed a night at Inn 31 (upstairs at Jacks). 'Quaint' comfortable, well appointed rooms. Friendly staff. Free wifi. Small TV if that suits your needs. Ice bucket available if you want drinks in you room. The food at Jacks Gastropub is good. Very good. Several different beers to choose. The community of Kingsville is your typical Ontario small town- beautiful and friendly. read more

Highly recommend the jacks burger. All I've ever tried there get it every time. It's awesome. Appetizers are also good. Beer is also very good with a wide variety. And food is also very reasonably priced. Place gets pretty busy. Make a reservation to asure you'll get a table. Patio is also very nice. read more

I've been to Jack's on many occasions, living in Kingsville it's often a place friends choose to meet up. The new location in the old house is perfect for this pub. A little snug, but the fireplace is cozy and the closed in patio leaves a lot of room. The pub is a perfect touch to the charm that Kingsville has. The ceasar's are enjoyable if you are just going for drinks and an appetizer. The menu is smaller then most restaurants, but everything I've tried is homemade and has a good mix of flavours. They have sweet potato fries that are a must have with the curry spiced mayo dip. If you have a food allergy, you won't get much help here - if you request fish non-breaded, not happening as most things are pre-made and there's not much room for flexibility. While the food is good, my biggest frustration is how often they change the menu. They used to have this amazing salad with steak, berries, figs, blue cheese (I'd sub in goat cheese) - but a salad that compares to the awesomeness that was this salad hasn't been added to the menu yet. Initially they said they took it off b/c it was 'seasonal' but the seasons have come and gone and that salad has not yet made a return. I do find the restaurant to be on the pricier side for what you get and what they have to offer. Again, short menu with standard burgers / sandwich selection and a select few entrees. *I hear the wings are pretty good. I'd give them three and a half stars (but I don't think we can give half stars)... but went with three - largely b/c the constant menu changing and the higher prices and lack of ability to customize orders for food sensitivities. The food is good, you won't be disappointed, just don't get attached to something... it may not be there the next time you order. read more

Food was good but not Great. I have had better Gastropub food elsewhere. Very over rated.

Had lunch here on Saturday and we were not disappointed. I had the Jack burger and fries which was delicious and my Girlfriend had the perch and chips and she was very pleased as well. Great atmosphere and our service was great as well. I highly recommend Jack's. read more

Food is really good! Very "meaty" - if that is your thing you will definitely enjoy! Could use a few more veggie items but overall very delicious. They source local and use good ingredients. Their vibe is awesome - sit on the porch if you can! Make a reso if you have a big group... Jack's get busy! Worth the wait though any day! read more

Walking into this establishment, it was easy to figure out that this is definitely a top pick with the locals. A quiet ambiance is what really made this place feel welcoming to me. The host who took care of us was incredibly nice and helpful for us first timers. The actual restaurant itself is set up in an older home and the feel behind it is wonderful! Starting off with their classic poutine, we already knew this place was awesome and that continued on through the rest of our lunch. I opted to get one of the chicken patty burgers which was honestly one of the best burgers ever. The coleslaw sides with it was just great and I wouldn't change a thing about this meal. Everything was just phenomenal while we were here and I'm so happy we listened to a recommendation to come here! Oh, and they do have vegetarian options and gluten free options as well. So they are definitely great for everyone! Make sure to ask for Sarah while you are here because she was just remarkable! read more

Planned dinner here on a long weekend from OH. Didn't know about the tall ships being in town this weekend! So, I can't say if the crowd was normal but it was packed! Service was a bit slow but they did get us a table quickly. No air conditioning to beware. We had a table outside. It was quite hot this day. I ordered the Lake Erie perch and my wife had the cod. Both were properly cooked and presented. The pepper cod was better than the perch. Both fried. The perch flavor was lost in the fried coating. Sweet potato fries that accompanied were good. Adequate amounts of food, but a bit small for the prices. Dessert was a surprise. Jack's brownie sundae is huge and good, if you like chocolate! read more

Really liked this place! Lived up to its hype. Get their delicious garlic bread.

Food is mediocre at best and over priced. Their attempt at being modern and hip is having a very small menu with exorbitant pricing.

Great food and atmosphere. Came here because of the TV show "You Got To Eat Here". Glad I did. Fries were served in a flower pot and the burgers were massive and tasty. read more

Cute gastropub with a great patio atmosphere. I got the fish of the day which was a lime-chili basa with tequila sauce and coleslaw. I'm not a huge fan of fish but I saw it was well recommended, I know why... It was delicious. There was a very appetizing selection on the menu, I had a hard time choosing a meal. The burgers were unique and there was a good selection for draft beer as well. My only complaint was that they served the meal on thin newspaper that got wet and clumpy and into my food but I eat slow. read more

Amazing food. Brought us a blanket during the evening when the temps got a little chilly

I feel it's over priced!! Good service ! But a bacon burger with cheese an gravy on the fries shouldn't cost $18.00 .
