Baker St Station has been one of our fave pubs to go to not only for the beer selection but also food, however we recommend dinner only - avoid brunch/lunch here! A few menu items were sold out at the tail end of prime dinner time which was unfortunate but understandable. For our app we had asparagus salad which was mindblowingly good - super fresh and sweet asparagus with a lightly whipped garlic aioli. For mains, the thai curry fried chicken was OUT OF THIS WORLD!! Crunchiest chicken that soaked up the super flavour packed curry so each bite was different - will literally be dreaming about this dish forever. The tuna poke nachos were also crazy good - super fresh with a yummy creamy and acidic sauce. We also tried the steak (cooked perfectly) and the lobster mac and cheese (cheesy but needed more salt and something acidic). We saw bread pudding on the menu for dessert so obviously we couldnt pass it up and it was everything you want bread pudding to be - soft and caramelly with cold creamy ice cream YUM Do note that we came back for brunch a few days later and were very disappointed LOL there’s a reason the place was empty for Sat brunch. Traditional breakfast place was super sad with 2 small slices of burnt toast and no additional butter/jam, no ketchup given with the dry home fries (why doesnt any place have good home fries?), the over easy eggs were over hard (which they fixed granted but come on there were like 4 ppl in the resto and the cook couldnt even watch the eggs? 🥴 they were also the smallest eggs we’ve ever seen) I had the pork belly tacos - taste was good but it was clear they only thought about pretty plating instead of the actual eating experience (did no one try eating the plate before putting it on the menu??) The super delicate baby lettuce was buried under the very wet toppings. Half of the lettuce wraps ripped as I tried to pull them out and all were horrendously soggy. I just ended up eating it like a salad lol. Please, you can have lettuce on the side and make the plating pretty with other methods. We both agreed to stick to Eggcetra for brunch and come only for dinner and recommend you do so too!

So far this is the best spot in Guelph! The small, almost tiny restaurant is located downtown in the old historical building. I was surprised they kept the inside interior and add the pub/restaurant features. There are two floors: ground is more pub style, second is the main area split to bar and restaurant. Not many tables, so keep this is mind and book in advance. Well well well. The menu is not typical and I was concerned a little. But I am always open for a new flavours. We decided to go with goat fennel salad, halloumi salad. Both salads are light dressed and tasted so good. Fennel salad I would mark for 100% for the balanced flavour. For the main: steak, again not traditional. It was actually a roll stuffed with mushrooms and cheese, served on the cushion of home style mashed potatoes. My companions ordered Baker st burger and sweet potato gnocchi. Both are good. And finally desserts: mouse cake and hot caramel cake. Wow! Impressed! Thanks for going beyond our expectations: team and Chef. Highly recommend to visit this hidden gem.

Baker Street Station is a hidden gem in Guelph. The patio and every floor makes the restaurant so spacious and the service was impeccable. I ordered the Duck and Cornbread. Boy was I surprised when I engulfed my whole meal in seconds. The puree was the perfect pairing for the confit duck and Cornbread; however, it is no longer available. The next best thing is the braised short rib with mash potatoes and brussel sprouts. It was delicious. The Korean fried chicken was served with basmati rice, scallions and onions. I am not sure what makes the dish korean? Maybe the basmati rice? The chicken was more of a salt and pepper flavor, but at least they gave lots. We asked for hot sauce. I was surprised that they charged extra for it, but it was homemade. We also ordered the sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream. I enjoyed it. I would come back and try other items!

Food and service was very good. Tuna Poke Nachos were very good as a table starter. I had the Bangers and Mash main (photo) - very unique with the spicy chutney and baked beans. It is difficult to make out in the picture, but they are underneath the egg on the plate. Try it - you will not be disappointed. Would be nice if more non-alcoholic beverage options were available - comment only, did not affect my review score. This would be a 5 star review except the establishment needs some upkeep and reno work done. We were sat in the ground back room - wallpaper badly torn off one of the walls, and being held-up on another wall by scotch tape. A number of areas with wood trim were badly chipped and in need of paint. Would certainly return.

Discovered this English-style pub on a walk downtown Guelph. Beautiful old home renovated into two floors of restaurant space. The first floor bar was quite busy with lots of gents enjoying happy hour. Quieter upstairs with a warm ambiance. Staff were most welcoming. The menu is fantastic, not your typical pub fare. My friend and I wanted to order everything! Our waitress Page was vivacious, charming, and knowledgeable about the food. The food was so delicious, from the chef-quality maple curry rubbed wings to the orange fennel salad and broccoli Caesar salad. We went with a dry cider. There is a large selection of beers on tap. I'm going back soon!

Quaint little place with a 2nd level and outdoor patio seating. Our server was wonderful. They take pride in their craft beer selection and are eager to help you find something you will enjoy! We had an app (Tuna Poke Nachos) and entree (Grilled cheese special with fries and onion rings) split between the 2 of us and it was plenty. It also tasted great with their house ketchup and garlic mayo. I will definitely be keeping this on my list of fav places! Highly recommend the grilled cheese with bacon jam and apple slices!!! And the Tuna Poke Nachos, amazing!!! - but if you are not big on spicy ask them to go light on the spicy mayo.
