The Black Clover — Restaurant in Prince George

Our first and last visit. By the reviews l believe they must have 2 different chefs or short order cooks. Five of us service was great the food yuck. All but one of us enjoyed our meal. There at 6 meal at 7 Friday night not busy. Atmosphere very nice. My fish and chips was one piece and 5 dollars more for a second piece. I wasn't aware that l had to bring my own fish. It was way overcooked til dry. I believe it was just reheated not just cooked fresh.. The fries were cold. My husband had a steak the size of a hockey Puck which is the norm in P.G l guess. It was overcooked and dry with a little bit of salad greens on the plate. Hardly a dinner meal. My niece had to wait quite awhile for her jalapeño poppers because the server dropped a couple of them and still served her the 2 left she did not reorder. My sister in law had a chowder with class she said it was OK. I did tell our server to please inform the cook our meals were awful. We did not want to wait another hour to reorder as we were all hungry we ate very little of it had to go to burger King after for a burger. My fish was cooked til almost burnt and it was all batter and 2 bites of actual fish. For 5 bucks for an extra overcooked piece was not worth it for sure. As l stated it was a first and last time given what it cost. Perhaps we are just used to a decent meal for 30 bucks each. What is it with fish and chips l got burnt fish at Nellys pub which is shocking because we have never had a bad meal there we live close so we go often. Perhaps new management. My husband had veal cutets cooked to death. We treat ourselves once a month but my hubby says he is fed up with paying big bucks for terrible food the service was very good not the food. Best regards l hope they get a more professional cook with higher standards. Gorden Ramsey would have lost it if were served the...

First impressions when we arrive Saturday evening was it was a very lively pub atmosphere with a great character look, woodsy exposed brick, Irish memorabilia.

The bartender Mike was very outgoing and chatty and our server Olivia very friendly and efficient, which was needed because it was busy.

Hector had a Captains Morgan’s Spiced Eun with sprite (his go to drink) And I had water, my go to drink.

Hector ordered a steak, sandwich and fries, we shared their shamrock salad, and I had the The Irish stew and ordered a single piece of their fish and chips as a side order.

This is Hector’s kind of food, so I’ll defer to his comments; the steak sandwich was the best steak he’s had in Prince George since we got here. The fries with the steak were house cut and very tasty as was the gravy. The stew had great flavour with big chunks of potatoes and lamb and the sourdough buns were perfect to go with it… they also bake them on the premises.

Hector liked the Guinness beer batter on the fish, said it was nice and light.

The salad was nice and fresh and they had a nice house ranch vinaigrette that was nice and zingy, very satisfactory meal Hector and I split the desert, their Irish Sundae Which was one of the best desserts we’ve had in Prince George, Right up there with the Canadian Brewhouse’s Honey Bumblebee cake. It had baileys ice cream, Irish whiskey chocolate brownies, whipped cream and berries. In my opinion the fruit Was a nice visual garnish but didn’t suit The other flavors, but that didn’t stop Hector from enjoying the berries.

At 9 PM a band came on, Adam Co… they were great, great vicals, great song choice, great musicianship.

Overall, just a great local pub with great food and a really wonderful theme & ambiance, if you could call. something so rollicking and...

Update 2023: I no longer love the wings. Pre COVID, they were amazing. Perfectly golden, juicy, perfectly seasoned. During COVID (2021), we got a bunch and they were over cooked, not just a little, like but burnt. Like these delicate little chicken wings probably sat in 400 degree oil for 15 minutes. I thought they were glazed in soy sauce. Okay so I threw them out, figured that was a one-off accident thing. Went back recently and still not good, but 80% were edible this time. But man... Dry, tough, and stringy. Pretty disappointing now. Different supplier? Different cooking times/temps? I dunno but I miss the old wings...

🌞HOWEVER🌞 I did have a chicken pot pie that came with a delicious pastry clover ontop and that was probably the most delicious thing I've had all year.

Service is still super great and nice. :)

Original review: I love the wings. Server was super great and nice. Not quite fond of the Pot Roast personally; it just wasn't quite what I expected, but I didn't really know what to expect really. It tasted good, but it wasn't as tender as I thought it should/could have been.

So, yeah, back to those wings. Those glorious deliciously cooked, crispy and flavourful salt and pepper wings. I would go back for those wings every day. Oh, man. There are two missing in the picture because I had to stop and take a picture after we...
