My annoying friend and I had a delicious lunch and had excellent service from our server Parke. I had to apologize to Park for my friend’s inappropriate behaviour but he took it all in stride. What a friendly smile and speedy service.

Our experience here was amazing!! We showed up a bit early to our reservation and despite it being very busy the host Jade was very kind and accommodating and got us a table very quick. Our server Adam made the experience a great one he was very attentive and asked us questions about our stay in the area that made us feel very welcome. Food came out extremely fast but that did not take away from the quality. We ordered the pulled pork poutine and the brisket and piri piri poutine and they were so fresh and delicious. We’re from Ontario and the staff there spoke English very well which was helpful. If you’re in the area I would 10/10 recommend but make sure you have a reservation around dinner as it gets very busy!!

Perfect location to "refuel" after a hard ride in Gatineau Park. Good food, good beer, great vibe and lovely patio.

The food was good, bit because we were in a big group the service was a bit slow, and we were seated upstairs and the sun was blinding and they didn't have blinds or anything to stop the bright sun. The parking situation can be challenging as well.

Food was excellent! Service was good, but could do with a little less flirting from our server. Would definitely eat there again.

If extremely slow service is your aim, then this is the place for you. The atmosphere is great, the food is decent enough but its poorly managed. Last visit, 25 minutes to get our first drink. 15-20 minutes later came back to take our order. Only when our food arrived 30 minutes acted that did we have a chance to order a second drink. This has been an issue at this tourist trap for years I asked some locals if they go there and they laughed. Too bad as I like the spot but keeping clients fed and hydrated is a low priority.

This is an awesome place with amazing food yet it does sometimes get a bit packed so a reservation would often be ideal the service is superb with the delay of serving other people overall it is amazing.
