Peanut allergies beware: they have lots of nuts at the bar area. I was fine in the dining area, but if you are very sensitive, I would recommend not going here due to the nuts. My girlfriend and I stopped in here for dinner before the symphony. The service was a bit slow, took 10 minutes or so before we... More

I've been here a number of times. Experience is okay, nothing special. We love their wings night every Tuesday.

Personally I like going to this restaurant, but everyone else in my family says they're just average. They do have good drinks! More

Awful chain food. If you like your food fast and bland, your beer cold and lager, and your TV loud and playing sports, then you'll have no problem. It's the only restaurant open late I could find in downtown Kitchener. I had some grey vinegary ribs. Beggars can't be choosers. More
