Came in for a few drinks each for myself and a friend, and ordered some wings as well as fish and chips.

The drinks were fine enough, if not quite dressed to my liking, so my personal peeve doesnt factor on that count-but the wings were absolutely miniscule. Laughably small. Tuesday being half price wing night I expected womething of a deal, and I recieved two clamshells barely half full of winglets the size of my thumb. Worse, I had ordered 1 of them as jerk, and the flavour was a horrendous, watered down excuse for jerk with a shadow of the flavour, soaked into gristly, chewy chicken. As someone with a Jamaican family the double whammy of tiny wingd and frankly offensive "jerk" sauce was enough to ensure I do not return. The fries offered as a side were also at an inadequate size.

Given it was half price wing night, the idea that people would oay $2 A WING for wings barely an inch and a half long, at 8 apiece, is mindboggling to me.

The Judge may have a great following and reputation but I will not be singing its praises. If you are in searc of sizable wings and in particular a decent jerk,...

Came here the other night by fluke. Just walking by and decided to go in for a drink and app with the bf and so glad we did! Service was fabulous, food was delicious and pub like atmosphere made it cozy and relaxing. It was a Sunday and they had specials on bottles of wine and charcuterie boards. I mean what else do you need?! Was attended to by Dion (I hope I got that right 😣) who really made the experience! Super personable and attentive. Owner/ Chef came by to check on us and also gave us some samples of a fruity beer (Liefmans fruitesse I believe), and I now have a new favorite drink! People... Service like this is hard to come by these days. On point gentleman and thank you for a great experience. Will be...

it’s been long enough that i feel safe enough to leave this. we came by in the summer. service was so bad. server was a super rude woman. that’s why i was scared to leave this. our table was crusty and dirty, white stuff on our chairs too (very sus). my partner ordered a simple burger and instead was served the most expensive one. our server dropped the food off and ran away so we couldn’t mention anything. we were charged for it. it literally tasted like nothing. i got fish and chips and they tasted like nothing as well. portions were so tiny

surprised this place has such good reviews. if u want expensive bland food and bad service...

We was received pretty well, fast the guy, that I think is the owner sat us in a very good table that was recently vacant. He told us about the drafting beer available, describing each special one, even offer a tasty of a strawberry beer. I chose the usual, larger, but my husband try two kinds. The bartender came and brought our food order and he was very kind as well. The food, some appetizers that is not so common to see around, rib poutine and pork belly, was good. I saw a lot of pretty cocktails been served, but I'm a beer kind, but it really catches the eye!

Made a last minute impulse decision to come here on a Sunday night with some friends as I had read online that there is open mic comedy happening. I had a great time, they have a decent selection of beer and the vibes felt very homely, you can tell there are a lot of regulars. The food was okay, I got myself a burger which was slightly dry but still decent - service felt a bit slow however but it was crowded so I can excuse it.
