Brazen Hall Kitchen & Brewery

Had the Prime rib sandwich and the beet salad. Paired it with their Gokstad IPA. Best lunch I had in a decade

Never once had a bad experience here. The food is always amazing, the beer is fantastic, and the owner is super, super nice!

I struggled with this review. Although the food was very good. The atmosphere was way to noisy. We had to yell when speaking around our table due to the noise level. The main issue I had was my bill was over 101 dollars and I pay CASH for everything! I counted my money twice, and as I was second guessing myself if I should leave a tip, I added another 5 dollars to my pile and counted it a third time making sure it was $110.00. The waiter came around. He took our cash, and our other friends paid by Credit Card. We sat around the table for a good 15-20 minutes after we paid and then started our way out the door. As we got to the front doors I hear a scream at us telling me I shorted him 20$. He began to count the money in front of me and I was mortified. I followed him back to the counter and stated several times that I was sure there was enough and I counted it several times. He again started counting the money in front of me. I then proceeded to pay by CC and gave him 10 cash for tip. I felt like I was ripped off. When I got home, I struggled with this. I Don't believe for a moment I shorted the bill. I have NEVER done that before. Lesson learned here is 1. I wont' be back as now I have trust issues with the staff there and 2. I will getting my husband to recount the money every time I pay a bill so that this embarrassment doesn't happen again.

With restrictions being losen now, they have created a new patio area. Super cute and same time following all the advise from public health. Limited menu at the patio now, but as always.good food. Check it out everyone.

We celebrated my aunts 90th birthday at Brazen Hall this evening. We had a small family gathering of 12 in the Valhalla Room. It was perfect! We were able to decorate the room beforehand, and even got to have the Jets game on while we had dinner. The service was fantastic and the food was great. We all really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you, Brazen Hall!

The food and staff are always amazing. Junaid knocked it out of the park tonight being the only server in a busy restaurant. He made sure we were well taken care of and everything was up to standards. Amazing job as always.

I really enjoy this amazing place, the food was amazing and a lot of flavor on the food. The waiter was very nice and friendly

Very odd rules. Restaurant was maybe half full but we were asked to wait 20 mins for a table. That wasn't going to work for us. Instead we sat ourselves at the bar (surrounded by empty tables) and got served with beer and food immediately by Riley. Food and service was excellent. Next time we will ask not to sit at a table and sit at the bar to be served by Riley! Very nice young man!

We have an 11 month old Black Russian Terrier named Bowser. He is 115lbs. This was our first time with him at a restuarant so we were a little timid. McKinna was our server and she told us she had never had a dog there but she was fantastic. She found a shady spot for us on the patio, and brought multiple pitchers of water and a bowl for Bowser as it was hot. She was kind, understanding, and quick to the draw. 5/5 is not enough to show how welcome and cared for we felt. As a bonus, the food and beverages were top notch as well.

I had an awesome time. Beer was very good, atmosphere was great. The food was excellent, very reasonably priced, and the portion sizes were generous. The service was top-notch, the waitress was very nice and it surprised our table just how fast the food came. I will 100% be going back again.

Returned recently.

Nashville crispy chicken sandwich 4 stars
It had a nice flavor to it, but being drowned in the sauce, it lost its crispiness.

Vegan chicken wings 3.5-4.5 stars
I'm not huge into fake meat because often I find there's an off taste to it. This was one of the better versions, but for myself, I would go with the regular wings. My vegan friend however thought it was fantastic.

Service was excellent on this visit. Absolutely no complaints there.

Previous review:
Atmosphere is beautiful. They did a stellar job on the renovations.
Service was a mixture of awesome to mediocre. When we first got there they were on top of things, with some small miscommunication. As it got busier, the service became absent. The service was, however, always friendly and polite.

There were a number of stand out dishes, but also mediocre items.
Tried the winner of the best burger of the week: farmer Jon burger and fries.
It was good. The blueberry maple ketchup was interesting. The bread held itself up and didn't disintegrate which can often happen on a moist burger. I've had similarly good burgers at other higher end restaurants (I can think of 2 off hand). Would I order this again? Yes. The price point is a bit high, but you did get a good amount of fries so you won't leave hungry.

The home made ravioli with wild mushrooms, caramelized onions, ricotta rose sauce: Found this to be an exceptional dish. The flavors were great. The cost for this dish was high, but I think it was worth it even though you don't get full.
Pizza pop (hand made with cheese, pepp and bacon) : This was recommended but I wouldn't personally go for this again. It was good, but it wasn't a standout. Filling if you are hungry and want something cheaper on the menu.
Wings (Filipino BBQ flavor) : It wasn't very saucy. The next table over had southern BBQ wings and it looked much more sauced. It really depends on if that matters to you. I was impressed with the number of wings. You get a pound, but it came out to 15 wings. Often I've been to restaurants where you get less. Maybe because these ones aren't breaded? I also liked the fact it wasn't breaded. The ranch sauce that was on the side was over powering. If you dipped it in the sauce, you only tasted ranch and any BBQ flavor just disappeared.
Citrus semifreddo and short bread crumble: Really enjoyed this dessert, but it was still kind of frozen in the middle when we got it. The sides were fine.

This is the Second time I’ve ordered from Brazen and several items were missing yet we were charged full price. This time I only received one item I ordered. How is it that hard to keep track of an order? When I tried to call, they said they were closed…. Even though they were open for another 45 minutes. Last time I will be ordering from them. Completely disorganized and unprofessional staff.

One of my go-to restaurants while in town. It’s a bit pricier than most places but they also have one of the most interesting menus in the city - burnt ends, Nashville hot chicken, Wisconsin inspired Butterburger. Beer selection could use a bit more rotation of seasonals as I’m rarely in town but it’s usually the same beer selection without any real other offerings, but the beer is solid - Haze Bomb is my go to, great hazy IPA

We had an amazing evening for our work function at Brazen Hall. The staff and management accommodated our large group on short notice, and the service from Junaid and Coryn was better than five star! Everyone was talking about the bacon appy the rest of the night!

I've been to Brazen Hall approximately 8 or 9 times and while it was awesome in the beginning, things seem to have gone down hill. The burgers that were always fantastic in my first visits have become dry, overcooked hockey pucks in my last few visits - so much so that they served my buddy a burger that was so over cooked it was black and actually crunchy - definitely burnt. Why would a you serve that? Who enjoys eating crunchy burnt burgers? If you wouldn't eat it yourself, why send it out to a paying customer? Wanted to give 2 stars, but giving 3 instead because it was great in the earlier visits (hoping that the last 3 overcooked dry burgers I have eaten there is just a coincidence, but 3 in a row seems unlikely) and their beer is delicious.

A group of four of us attended Brazen Hall for Sunday brunch on May 22. Here is how our visit went.

1. Our server greeted us but didn’t direct us to the QR code to read the menu. So placing our order was very delayed. Also, our server was unmasked. An unmasked server in recent times was new to me.

2. As we finally tried to place our order, we were informed that the Sunday brunch menu had not been prepared. Again, our order was delayed because now we had to make new decisions. Remember, we were there for Sunday brunch.

3. So, we tried to order the soup. We were informed it too had not been prepared. Once again, placing our order was delayed. Finally, our server confirmed that they DID have the beet salad. And, we all chose the beet salad. The salad was very fresh and full of greens. Unfortunately, it was really short on beets. My salad had at most 5 tablespoons of VERY tiny cut up beet chunks.

4. The restaurant was not very busy, but the music was cranked up for perhaps a larger crowd expected later in the day. We found ourselves speaking in an abnormally loud voice to connect with each other. When we asked if the music could be turned down please, the response was a curt “NO”. No explanation, just “no”.

5. However, the most disturbing part of our visit, was our server not taking seriously the severe food allergy of one of our group. In fact, our server rolled her eyes at the request of no sesame. It was only after repeated prompting from each of us and explaining how serious this allergy was, our server thought to check with the kitchen to make sure no sesame products would be included in the salad. Very scary. Very disappointing. In all fairness to Brazen Hall, the salad arrived and there were no issues with allergies.

We enjoyed each other‘s company but did not enjoy our experience at Brazen Hall. None of our party will be supporting this restaurant again, ever.

Was very unimpressedAnd being told that they served Mead at the restaurantOnly to arrive at the restaurant and discover that a viking or Norse basedMead-hall essentially and restaurant didn't serve mead anymore me and my group left very upset and will never return would tell anyone that wants a true viking experince to seek it some place eles on top i was told on the phone by staff they did have mead staff needs better training

Very nice food; I had the fish and chips. I had sampled some their canned beer products before and was pleased to find that served fresh they were even better. We ate on the patio which, while spacious, is wedged between the large parking lot and Pembina Hwy. Pretty noisy and dusty.

Fantastic! And a rabbit out of the hat.after another establishment let us down 5 days before, Brazen Hall pulled off a brilliant night for a group of 30 people! Food was fabulous and plentiful, beer was delicious and forthcoming, and the service. Coryn and Junaid looked after the group like it was a small table.super, very much appreciated. Thank you to you all!

Found a bug in my burger (see attached pic). They made me a new burger, but needless to say it ruined my dining experience. The new burger they made was mediocre at best and greatly overpriced anyways. No discount was offered even though I had to wait another 10 minutes while the other burger was made

The best casual fare there is! Amazing Caesars, incredible burgers that seem to always win burger week. The owners are always around to say hi and welcome you “home”. Don’t miss out on a fun, friendly and delicious place to eat with a great beer garden and patio!

Got together with a dozen friends for dinner and drinks on Saturday night. For being such a large group on such a busy night, the service was excellent (thank you Jenna). The food lived up to my usual high expectations, and the Jarpur Amber Ale went down smooth. The only downside was both of my favourite beers were sadly no longer available. The longsword hasn’t been available in almost a year (c’mon guys, get it together), and they were just freshly out of the Gokstad IPA. A little disappointed in that, but I understand. Thanks again Brazen.

Pub food in a Viking inspired environment. I ordered a brazen bacon appetizer and a chimi churri open face steak sandwich. Overall the food was very tasty. I would order the steak sandwich again I found it satisfying and flavourful. The bacon appetizer was interesting but probably wouldn't order it again.

As you can tell from the reviews, this is a great place to eat! I loved the burnt ends brisket.so good! It just completely melts in your both! Their award winning burgers were also AMAZING! As a picky eater, I was a little hesitant with the flavor combinations but - THEY WERE SO GOOD! I can't wait to go back to this place.

I would recommend asking for a booth though. I do find that some of the bar seating is tight and the chairs are a bit too hard to sit on.

Great service, good food, the macaroni and cheese is delicious if you don't mind the salt. Good beer, music is a bit alt 90s for my taste. Nice vibe. Love the gender neutral bathrooms!

I love the commitment they have at Brazen Hall.
They are “ all in” trying to create a unique experience.
Unfortunately they are not there yet, but I have confidence that they will be.

The good stuff:
-I love that they smoke meat everyday out front of the establishment for all to see and smell.
- they’re micro brewery is ‘almost there’. Nice flavours on a variety of beer. Just stay away from their Soliskan Stout (probably miss spelt that). It is awful! It tastes like someone ‘ bubbled’ cigar smoke through an otherwise ok stout.
- l really like a pub with an attached brewery. It adds a special uniqueness to the establishment.
- the food was really delightful. Particularly the cauliflower soup.

Not so good stuff:
- the “ feel” of the place isn’t there. Much as they have committed completely to what they are (BRAZEN) they’re decor and staff send mixed messages.
It’s obvious the staff are new and will improve with time. That can be forgiven. Their ‘ uniforms’ leave a lot to be desired.
A T-shirt and jeans? I ‘d like to see a more “ Brazen” uniform for the staff. Something with a Viking motif?
Half the restaurant is set up in a pleasing way. The other half of the restaurant looks like an organized row by row “ mom and pop” diner.
It doesn’t match the place.
- glasses are stacked everywhere, seemingly haphazardly. It looks unorganized and very “ unbrazen like”. Maybe rough unfinished open wooden cupboards?
- the service is ok but I would like one person assigned to me. I had many servers ask how I was doing and if I needed anything. It interrupted the flow of the experience. If I had one server they would know when to drop by to see if there was anything I needed.

In conclusion:
I KNOW that this place will “ arrive” because of the effort I see being put in.
It is worth another visit. Maybe in 6 months or so.
Management: please rethink the set up for the seated dinning side of things

Wow was this chicken ever good!

Kyla took perfect care of us.

Can't wait to go back!

Excellent atmosphere coupled with even better service. Food was fantastic! Will definitely return.

The burgers are absolutely unreal. It’s no wonder they are top contenders in burger week every year. Great beer that’s brewed in-house and a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommended place to eat!

I am convinced that these 5 star reviews are fake after my experience yesterday. My food was awful, paid 18 dollars for a club when I could have gotten a better one at smitty's for 10 bucks. There was only one singular piece of bacon on one half of the club sandwich. When paying such extreme prices, I expect bacon to be on the whole sandwich. Someone at our table ordered the grilled triple cheese sandwich, and the whole thing came completely burnt. This place is extremely overpriced for the lousy food you receive. Glad I went here so I know to never go back.

Junaid was the best bar tender, amazing drinks and fabulous service! Also Hilarious, he made our evening!

The service was amazing and we received our food quickly. Faith was an absolutely fantastic waitress and treated my sister to a beautiful birthday celebration. Their Classy Viking Burger and Indo Met Salad was delicious.

WINE WEDNESDAYS! $20 for a bottle. I like the atmosphere of the place and how spacious it is. Even with covid and restrictions this place was booming on Wednesday night. Food was mediocre and the price was bit high. I asked for my fries to be extra crispy and they came out rather soggy.

I have been to Brazen Hall many times. It is a favourite of mine due to its location, atmosphere, beer selection and service. The food itself ranges in quality from "ok" to "really good". Don't get me wrong, the food is good. It's just sometimes it's great, others it's good.

It's amazing to see how this place has transitioned. I love some of their beers. The food is great with very generous portions. And the evening was made even better thanks to the superb service of Kyla. Will definitely be back.

Service was very good and the food was tasty. We had the beet salad and crispy chicken sandwich. Love the concept of wine Wednesdays. $20.00 for select bottles of wine.

Fantastic environment, excellent food, and make sure to try their amazing flight of signature beers!

Was brought to Brazen Hall by our relatives while visiting Winnipeg for Thanksgiving weekend. Portions are huge and the apps were very good. We also had the beer flight but hoping it came with an actual list of the beers because we got confused about which ones we were trying out. There was also a mix up with our order but good thing it was resolved right away.

Note à moi même: "Si tu passe à Winnipeg ne manque jamais l'occasion d'aller au Brazen Hall. Tu mentend! "

Hi, first time visiting Brazen Hall. Our server Jordan was very nice, comfortable atmosphere and prompt service. My wife had the Nashville chicken burger which was very tasty and presented well. I had the fish and chips. The Halibut had a really nice coating that kept the fish hot but the chips were really salty (a clever ploy to make me drink more beer). The only recommendation I have is the baking tray that the fish and chips came on showed it's age and the paper under the food made it difficult to know if I was eating fish or paper. May I recommend a plate like my wife's burger cam on. Thank you

Top 5 burger in Canada for a reason! The beef brisket burger was incredibly tender and juicy, really enjoyed the texture of the patty. Atmosphere was very uplifting. Lovely service!

The shrimp app is to die for, and the service was impeccable. Our guy knew exactly when we needed him and wasn't pushy nor did he interrupt us often. 5 stars!

First time dining at Brazen Hall this evening. Had a wonderful experience. Our server, Faith, was an absolute delight. She went over and beyond with her service and her menu recommendations were a hit! We loved the Nashville hot sauce. It goes well with everything. Can’t wait to bring our partners back here.

My friend and I enjoyed the amazing service and food. Our server Junaid was very kind and helpful and made our dining experience a wonderful one.

My favorite place to eat in Winnipeg, Amazing friendly service, you want a good burger, you go here, you want good craft beer, you go here, you want an amazing Nordic Atmosphere, go here! It's the best

Came in today to check out the new beer garden. Picnic tables with umbrellas are all set up. Beers are cold and tasty and it was taco Tuesday to boot! Im telling ya, the tacos were excellent! We had an order of the brisket as well as the pork ones- both great, we even got a second order of the pork ones to keep our steel cut blonde from being lonely. Staff is super and the owner Kris visits and ensures everything is up to par with your orders. All this combined with being dog friendly- including water bowls and mats makes Brazen Hall a simply must!

Great food and beer.
I found the brisket a bit overpriced. The large portion isn't really large - is a regular size for a normal adult.
I went with a couple of friends and both of us were charged differently from the menu. The waitress explanation was that the menu was not updated. What?
I ended up paying the price she charged us because I didn't want to argue over 6 dollars, but it was really frustrating and disappointing.
It's a shame - I liked the place, and I really want to support restaurants after the pandemic, but this bad experience will likely make me not get back.

My server junaid made my first burger week experience great, he was very personable and the service was fast and efficient, will be recommending this burger to others

On the new patio and the tacos are legit. Tried both shrimp and brisket and both well worth the cost. Will be back just for the tacos!

Fun ambiance, went in the beer gardens, luckily we brought our own water since they were unable to pour tap water and charged $3 for a bottle of water. Food was good, not alot of selection but what was there was good. Could use some more umbrellas

Exceptional service right from placing the order to pick up! Rachel was friendly and delivered right out to our car. Food was packaged well for travel and was still hot and fresh when we got home. Food and Beer were both delicious! (Burgers, Brisket Sandwich and Ramen) Looking forward to dining in person as soon as we can.

Food and drinks are always top notch, as well I was not discriminated against and treated just like everyone else. Great job Brazen Hall once again!

Brazen Hall has always been one of our favourites. We like to venture out and try different places, but keep coming back to Brazen for the consistently top-quality food and phenominal service. When patios were allowed to re-open after this last "lockdown", Brazen knocked it out of the park with their giant north-side parking lot conversion. My wife and I took the first opportunity we could to head there for an outdoor lunch on the patio. It was Tuesday afternoon and the patio was very quiet - our server (Alyssa) was clearly happy to be able to welcome guests to the newly opened patio - like genuinely happy to be able to serve guests again. She made us feel like we had done her the biggest favour by just coming for lunch. The patio fare was limited in selection, but huge on quality, and the drinks were (as usual) spectacular. I had my Longsword Pilsner (seriously the best local brewed Pilsner you can get, period), but also sampled a few of their newer beers. My wife had the peach cocktail (don't remember the name of it though), which was the perfect combination of flavour, refreshing, non-sweet. I also had to try one of their Dark n' Stormies - premium Goslings rum with premium Fever Tree ginger beer. This was the best Dark n' Stormy in the city so far. When leaving, already super satisfied, we ran into one of the owners (Stefan) who was really engaging and really gave us the warm fuzzies with his genuine expressions of gratitude that we chose his place to visit today. He also left us with a little thank-you gift, which was really nice! There is definitely a reason, or perhaps several reasons, that we keep returning to Brazen Hall, but so long as they keep doing what they are doing, we'll keep coming. Thanks Brazen!

Food is good. The main things to try is the beer and the variety of them. I had a beer cocktail called an "Elderman" and "girl next door". The "Elderman" was really good. The other delicious thing I had was the bread pudding. Omg. So good. It's a huge portion beware.
I had their fish and chips. It's a new menu item (as stated on the menu). I think the fish needed to be seasoned more. Also the batter on the fish made it difficult to cut through it. It wasn't bad; the fish needed to be seasoned (salt, ¿spices?) more. The pickled onions were delicious.

Visiting for Christmas from Tampa
Brewery in House - they offered a tour when we asked about it -
What a Great place - I had Halibut Fish and Chips - The Best
My wife had a Tenderloin - Cooked to Perfection -
Wednesday Cover band played at 9: 30 - not over powering and it was like Mark Knopfler and Tom Petty were playing Live
Easy to go on but you get get the Drift.

This was our second time to Brazen Hall in about a month and we were lucky enough to have the same waitress - Alyssa H. As soon as she came to our table she remembered our previous order - impressive! Especially as our first visit was for a late lunch, and this visit was for dinner.

Alyssa is an excellent waitress and we had some great conversations, including one about the Windsors of Royal fame.

Excellent food, we all tried a different dish from what we ordered for our lunch and came away impressed again.

Highly recommend the soft pretzel for an appetizer - one is great for a group of three.

The Bacon Mac & Cheese, the buttery soft Brisket and the Edward's Escovitch (pickerel with rice and veggies) are all recommended.

We will be back!

Great brewery and restaurant! We went there with a group of 11 and they had us in a very nice private room. The atmosphere is one of the coolest i have seen among breweries in Winnipeg. I had the Krakow burger and the burnt ends, which was one of the best burger and apps I've had. Everyone was very happy with their meal, the brisket looked especially good. The beer was delicious with lots of seasonal options. They had growler refills and hand made Icelandic merchandise which would have made my Amma proud

Reservation for 5: 30 pm waited till 6 to place order. Waited till after 7 after complaining to the manager that we still hadn't got our food. Food then arrived cold, manager said he would look after it. Finished eating, then waited another 30 minutes after asking for the bill. Asked the server if the bill was going to be corrected account of cold food. Said she would have to talk to manager. Manager then came to the table to correct the bill and proceeded to complain that they had too many reservations and the kitchen was running 40 minutes behind. Total time for dinner 3 hours and 30 minutes to eat cold food.

A family owned venture Brazen Hall is one of the best places to eat whether you are at a business lunch/dinner, drinks with friends, family meal or a cozy night out with your date.

My personal fav is the Red Thai Curry (noodles) which is mouth watering treat that comes in veg or chicken. Their homemade french fries are impossible to stop nibbling on and the desserts selection is exquisite. Their craft beers are quite popular as well (I dont drink so cant add a comment on that). Space is beautiful, staff pleasant and helpful, clean washrooms and ample parking. And yes they have televisions all over to watch games and they play live music on Wed.

A must visit if you are looking for a wholesome experience.

We were there on a busy night but the service was still prompt. Good beer on tap and the one cocktail we had was nice as well. The burger, fried chicken and grilled cheese were all very tasty. The noodle bowl was a bit bland, but to be fair that doesn't seem to be the kind of thing they specialize in.

Great restaurant. But I have a complaint. The bathroom water facet runs out of three nozzles at each sink, and can't be shut off. It's a terrible waste of water. The design looks neat but needs to be changed. It's irresponsible. (Edit in response - my point is both myself and my friend finished washing our hands and instead of the water shutting off, we both stood there, dried our hands, and watched the water continue to run. Then turned to one another and said "that's not good". Well done for gender neutral.now save the planet?)

This establishment is terrific! Went here this past weekend and tried their selection of in house craft beer, and my favorite is the belgian spice, it is a smooth beer, but there is a variety of different beers one can try and should try. The burgers are delicious too, we had the farmer jon (apparently it won a burger contest last year for Best burger) the staff were really helpful too and very accommodating. I like to go back there when a jet's game is playing. Great food, friendly staff, spacious interior, will definitely go back there.

Had the Krakow burger. Wow, was unbelievably good. Hope you guys win the burger challenge. Restaurant so much more inviting than the old Round Table. Keep up the good work!

First stop for burger week. Very impressed. Here is a pic to add to the 1000's of others. Add the poutine though! Steak was perfect as well. Packed house, first time here. Would go back. Good work guys.

Amazing food, amazing service, highly recommended. The staff is very friendly, the environment is top notch with high quality furniture everywhere. The food was very well made with great ingredients.

Food was great! I had the Burger Week special and it was delicious. Fries were tasty too. Service was fine, but there was a bit of a wait to get in. They'll text you when it's your turn though which is helpful.

Beer bacon and burgers where can you possibly go wrong? This place is fantastic and there's always new beers to try. I like that they experiment and have a lot of different things. Certain breweries in the area have beer that tastes the same but they add different flavors like strawberry jam or something into it and pretend it's something different. Brazen Hall is not like that.

Came for burger week and it was very busy, reservations are recommended. Fantastic beers on tap and the food was awesome! Server was very friendly and helpful.

Went this week for the lst time after hearing a lot of hulabaloo about it. The decor is gorgeous and so modern you wouldn't have known it used to be round table. Waitresses were very helpful and friendly. They only have 2 of their beer vats working and I think have many kinks to work out. Wine wasn't chilled had to ask for ice cubes, no I wi fi as yet. Can't make a reservation for less than 8 just have to come and take a chance. Anyway we are coming back for a party for 6 so will come early and get a nice table. Now cocktail area near fire place. The food was good tho my pasta was a bit rubbery but taste was good. Lots of parking and hope before summer starts there is a patio.
Went may 3 for a birthday party. The food and service here was wonderful. We had apps and flights of beer and dinner and wine for 6. Our waitress Chanel was a wonderful young woman and very helpful. She made our birthday party very nice.
Went today for 2018 burger week with our nieces. Krakow burger amazing. Sat on the patio which was lovely. The place was packed

Server was late for our section. We sat down and waited 20 minutes with no service before i complained to the manager to have someone take our orders.

Food was amazing. Good portions and cooked perfectly.

Although they have high chairs they do not have a kids menu or baby change tables in the very modern genderless washrooms.

First visit was the first day of Leburger Week. Greeted by who I assumed was the owner or manager who was seating people. Really polite and attentive dude. He was able to seat a party of 5 adults including two toddlers in about 5-7 minutes given the restaurant was super busy. Got seated at a picnic style table by the bar which was different, and surprisingly pretty comfortable.

Wife really enjoyed the burger special. I got a flight of beer and the Smash Steak which was surprisingly super good! Menu is a bit on the pricey side but worth it IMO. Overall great experience, awesome food, really good service. Definitely coming back.

***Update*** I did email the manager. He responded a few days later with an offer of a gift card if I'd be willing to come try again. I replied sure, depending on amount of gift card as he was vague on that (not going back if it's a 5 or $10 gift card) and we get a better table, and he never responded after that. So, they don't really care.
We tried to book a reservation but it said 6: 30 wasn’t available, only 5: 15 or 8: 30, that only 20% of their tables are for reservations. So we did walk in. Got there probably 7: 15 and were seated right away at a table with the tall metal bar stools. We ordered drinks and when they came we said we needed a few more minutes with the menu. Then we ordered the pretzel (delicious) and the double farmer Jon burger to share. By the time our pretzel came the torture device, I mean bar stool, was killing my tailbone. I’m 8 months postpartum and have a tailbone injury. My pelvis still feels like it’s in 4 pieces from pregnancy. I asked who I thought was our waitress when she brought our pretzel out if we could be moved to the bench booth seating that had just opened up. She said she’d ask the hostess. By the time she came back to tell us no, it’s reseved, another table on the bench opened up. So I asked about this, she said also reserved. I said the stool was killing my back and she said she could send the hostess over. Hostess never came. Our burger came (which was just OK), and later our waitress checked on us to see if we needed anything. I was tempted to say, as long as we’re sitting at this table, I’m done drinking. I just said no. When she came back a bit later for our plates she asked if we needed another round of drinks. I said no. She asked if we wanted the bill. Guess there was something in my voice that said, don’t even ask about dessert. I was sitting on one butt check leaned over to one side as anyone with a tailbone injury will tell you, that’s all you can do. So we took the bill and paid and left. My boyfriend later said it wasn’t our waitress who I asked about moving, I thought it was, but regardless my comments could have passed along. So a very uncomfortable visit was cut short. We’ll just hit the LC and head home!

I attended Brazen Hall to try their LeBurger week burger. It was simply amazing. Lots of flavour.

The only thing I have bad to say about this restaurant is there is not reasonable priced options for kids. It was $17 for a hamburger with ketchup.

Otherwise great place and atmosphere with good beers.
