I was traveling along the 401 and wanted to stop for a bite. The Royal Crown Pub & Grill is about a 5 min drive from the highway so I decided to try them out. Best decision! I was not disappointed and I love when I stumble on a hidden gems.
I ordered the Cajun Chicken Wrap - the chicken was well seasoned and juicy. I especially loved the fries, they were perfectly crisp, not too oily or overcooked. You can tell that everything is made from scratch plus it's very affordable and decent portions. I've never been to Colborne so I was also a little apprehensive about how I would be treated. My anxiety went away immediately because the staff were very welcoming and made me feel right at home from the moment I stepped in. As it got later and the place started filling up with the nighttime crowd, I was not forgotten and my server checked on me regularly.
I absolutely recommend The Royal Crown and will definitely stop in when I travel along that way again. Folks please don't miss the opportunity to visit this cool spot...

Drinks were cold, food was decentt- but the service was despicable and beyond slow. There was an acoustic band set up and it looked like the staff was far more concerned with partying and socializing with eachother and regualrs then they were actually looking after their tables. We sat, and sat....no one ever checked back to see how we were or if anything was needed. We asked for the bill twice. Our server then proceeded to completely ignore us and roll silverware and take selfies and videos of the band. We had to walk back to the bartender (mind you was the ONLY person, who actually looked like he cared). He explained to us that they were short staffed and that they got "slammed". Sorry, no excuse. Your server is just too busy not being attentive to paying customers and actually doing her job. Would...
   Read moreWe went there for dinner with our 2 grandchildren. At the time, they were working on developing a children's menu. Although it wasn't ready yet, they did do kid size orders of chicken fingers and a burger, both with fries. As usual, I tried the chicken parmesan, and my wife had a chicken wrap with the broccoli and cheddar soup. The portions are good, and both entrees tasted great! The prices were very reasonable too. On the down side, the music was too loud, and the lyrics of a number of the songs were not appropriate for kids (a lot of swearing, topics etc.). If I can make any suggestion to the owners, it would be to take into consideration your clients, especially at dinner time, and play music that is not offensive, and turn it down so people can talk to each other. Your food is good, and I want to come back, but I dont want to hear songs with f...
