The service was good, the price was sad for a food that could have been great. Ambiance, .... I got too watch some less fortunate people get into arguments, as I looked towards the Sleeping Giant, and eat a burnt piece of bread. But I did get a cookie with whipped cream for my birthday lunch. So I'll add 1/2 star for the waiter/waitress. Wasn't sure about the transition.

In my opinion, MadHouse has the most attractive food menu for a pub restaurant in Thunder Bay. Good…read moremix of healthy options like colourful & large salads and deep-fried pub food classics! Madhouse Coconut Shrimp (5/5) - fried super golden crunchy & the shrimp was tasty & pretty large ! Paired with a side of sweet chilli sauce, can't go wrong with that! Pancetta Wrapped Scallops (4/5) - another classic appy dish, nothing stood out but it was still yummy & cooked alright! Fish Tacos (2.5/5) - more batter than fish, couldn't really taste any distinctive flavours. Would definitely pass on this. Steak & goat cheese salad (4/5) - large & beautifully done salad!

The Foundry was a nice spot we found unexpectedly while in town gathering some camping gear. They…read morehad a basic menu and a nice ambiance inside. There were a couple of tables and it wasn't too busy but the service was a little slow. The food was the highlight of the visit and we were pleasantly surprised. My friend had the buffalo poutine fries and it was good, and I had the daily fish special that was excellent. The fish came with potato chips instead of fries, but they were house made and very good. No refills on the drinks, however prices were also decent for the area. Overall this was a solid bar menu and it looks like it can be a good time when they have live music. My only recommendation would be to address the service and add a few more options to the menu and then we have a gem.

This place was a great surprise and a real find for us. For some reason it does not come up as a "restaurant" (for me, anyway) on the Yelp search. It did come up in a search for "pub". They definitely have a nice selection of beers, but a lot more. They have a full bar, with several specialty cocktails. The menu lists their House Caesar as being made with tequila, but our friendly server told us we could order it with gin, or vodka, which we prefer. The drinks came quickly. They were tasty and spicy, but not too spicy. The rimmer was a unique concoction created by the bar staff. The food menu offers way more than pub fare. In addition to the pizzas and burgers, they also have excellent pasta selections, soup, salads, chicken, steak, and more. My wife ordered the smoked salmon salad with veggies and blue cheese. I'm pretty sure she really liked it, because she did not offer me a taste, which she usually does. I ordered the fish and chips. I fully expected to get those over-battered, deep-fried frozen triangle fish things so many other places serve. What I received was a whole fresh filet, which was lightly breaded and pan-fried. It was accompanied by house-made tartar sauce, and crispy hot fries. My meal was delicious. I enjoyed it, but not so much that I did not offer some of the fries to my wife (she accepted them gladly. Maybe the best part of our dinner experience was the service. As I mentioned, our server was very friendly. She was patient and attentive, but not overly attentive. Just the right amount of attentive. She gleefully answered all our questions about the menu, and the restaurant. We got the impression she was very proud about what the place offers to its patrons, and was happy to be a part of the operation. I don't often write Yelp reviews, but feel compelled to share this outstanding experience.

I went here today for my sisters party. The tables were small, so we had a table upstairs and…read moredownstairs. One particular staff member was staring daggers at me. Did not want to take my order. Waited for him for 45- 60 min. Had to ask the other staff member after repeatedly trying to get his attention. Did not tell the other staff member as she could see something was wrong. This happens every time I go out, because I have blonde hair and blue eyes, if the guy got to know me, he would know that I'm not a racist and know that me and my sister are Métis. The food was ok, found it odd that they didn't have mayo for fries and onion rings.
