Carey's Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Ontario

This is our 'Cheers'. Everyone has that place that just feels comfortable. My wife and I will often pop in for a pint and the occasional bite if we find a moment in our busy schedules. Between our jobs, a side hustle, and three kids under 10 - our windows of opportunity is small. Spare time is important to us, and what we do with it matters. The owners and operators of 'Carey's' are family people who make you feel like you're part of their extended family. You can tell that they treat their staff with respect, because the quality of the experience is a reflection of that. The beer and spirit selection isn't huge, but they try to have something for every preference. And if a regular customer drinks a particular brand, you can bet they will go out of their way to ensure it is always in stock. The food is fresh and always prepared with care. If you need to bend your elbows on a bar and relax, want a place (great patio in the warm months) for drinks after a round of golf, have time after class to unwind, or if you need a place to take the family for dinner on the days that calls for a break from cooking - look no further. You won't find 'Ted Danson' or 'Woody Harrelson' here, but what you will find is the 'Cheers' experience. That I guarantee. Cheers!...

Went to Carey's for burger night (Thursday) and ordered the $13 burger special. Also got the thai chicken bite app. App came out really quick, and wasn't bad. Burger followed, ordered it with mayo. The burger was average, not terrible but nothing to brag about. They serve it on a Wonder-bread bun. The nostalgia from backyard bbq's was real. Overall ok experience untill the bill came. They charged $1 extra for MAYO (see pictures in review). They have a section on the menu under the burgers which indicates what "extras" cost more. MAYO is not on that list. Also the appetizers are advertised online for half price but their menu has sharpie over the old price and now appetizers are $8 after 8pm. Spinach dip (commonly an appetizer at EVERY other establishment in London) does not qualify as an appetizer but is called a sharable at Carey's. When we asked about the difference in price from the $14 burger we were charged to the advertised $13 burger we were informed about the mayo upcharge. Would not recommend Carey's unless you want a surprise when you get the bill....

We were there on Saturday at 330 in the afternoon. The only people in the whole place besides what looked like the two servers friends. They sat at the bar with them the whole time. My husband and I each ordered a burger. Forty minutes later we both said to each other, this is taking a long time considering there is no one else in the place. The server didn’t even go in the kitchen to find out what was going on with our food. Finally she did go back and came out to our table and said it’s just gunna be another few minutes. I said can we can just have our bill for our drinks thinking we were quite patient so far. The server takes off for another five minutes. Comes back out with the bill and says she took the food off but will give it to us to go. We said no thank you. We would just like to pay for our drinks and would like to leave. On our way out, the server says oh sorry the cook is quitting or something like that. Just so overall bad experience at a place we had previously...
