The Loyal Oarsman

Food is great, beer is good, although they don’t have any wheat beer for those who prefer this kind. Service was awesome, definitely recommend checking out.

Food well priced and tasty. Soup of the day could have been a bit warmer so ate it quickly but it was good. Came with a large chunk of bread (not grilled) but had to request butter. Natchos were good. Service was pleasant.

Great food. Comfortable environment. Friendly staff. Good selection of beer. Relaxed. Been going for years.

The service and food is consistently great! Have never regretted a food choice here! Top notch!

Good food. Great selection of beers, great servers. A bit noisy but that seems to be the norm for places like this.

Awesome Beer, food fantastic! Shepards Pie delicious, my compliments to the Chef! My server Joel was so attentive & in tune to each of his tables he served.wonderful! Even the bus server did a fantastic job. This Pub is busy because it has everything for everyone!

Honestly best wings in town. Great beer on tap, TVs everywhere. Really has that local pub feeling.

Stopped in for lunch yesterday to try this place out and was not disappointed!

Seated ourselves and were served super fast by the friendly staff.

We ordered drinks, appetizer, and entrées, all food came out super fast and was all hot and delicious!

The pierogis were such a great appetizer, and the pub wrap with onion rings was so tasty! Best onion rings I've had in a long time!

We will definitely be back again for another great meal very soon!

- Very busy
- Cool inside
- Good sever
- Food was tasty and the beer cold
- Friendly staff

The French onion was awesome, but the fish and chips were terrible. The chips were ok, but the fish was so greasy that it oozed out as you cut the fish. Also I don't think it was Haddock. The tartar sauce was more like mayonnaise was lemon. So the beer was cold and the appetizer great. Then went downhill. I used to love their meat pie, but is no longer on the menu.

Was here for the first time in a few years, very surprised by the fact that prices are still very reasonable. I only had beer so can't comment on food quality.

Great atmosphere, fabulous server, great local draft, and really delicious food! Best quesadillas I've had yet! Every time I come, I try something new. Good everytime!

Still a great spot to meet with friends. Always good food and great servers. Always feel welcome here.

Awesome set up for my wife's 50th.food was great as always and our server Nick was unreal.perhaps one of the best neighborhood pubs in Kton.ya gotta check it out if ya haven't been.wings and perogies.

Amazing place for quiet night out always happy with friendly staff and great food took a good friend out to dinner after work always a good night

Nice large English style pub. I enjoy the food there and prices are decent.

Feb 2022 had French Onion Soup and steak sandwich. Enjoyed every bite.

Service was great. Lots of regular clientele and familiar faces around. Follow @TheYGKFoodie on Facebook and Instagram

I have just moved to Kingston I was in for the football pool with my in-laws and everything was awesome enjoyed the fresh Guinness on draft looking forward to go back for a meal

I eat here all the time, staff and food are amazing, great service, always willing to go over and above, if you haven’t been here please try it!

Best Wings aroind ans the most friendly staff.
This is our "Go to" spot for any social gatherings or girls nights.

Great atmosphere. Service is fast and friendly and the food is always good. Been here many times and keep going back.

Quaint pub with staff that really makes you feel welcomed and comfortable. The wings were good.

Pub food with a good selection at decent prices. Even a picky eater can find something on their menu that will appeal to them.

The bacon wrapped scallops were delicious. I also ordered the grilled chopped salad. The meat on it was good but otherwise a kind of flat, blah salad. The lettuce should have been fresher. My husband had great potato skins, literally 2 baked potatoes cut in half and covered in bbq sauce, bacon and cheese. He also had fish and chips, the fish was excellent, the chips were average. The beer was not very good either, possibly due to improper pour or the wrong glassware

We have no idea what dining there would have been like. We just assumed that the staff would all be vaccinated however in calling ahead, we found out they are not. The two stars are for the honesty from the lady to whom I spoke. She found it as ludicrous as I did that we have to be fully vaccinated to eat there but the staff can work there all day but cannot eat there if they are not vaccinated!

Great place to hang with friends. We had deep fried pickles, French onion soup with a nice beef broth, honey garlic chicken wings. The lasagna special was a big portion and came with a salad. Server was attentive. Would recommend this place.

Great service. Haven't had a good pint of 50 in days. It was nice. Got the British club, it was the best ive had. Love the place. Will be back.

Food was delicious, service was good. We ate outside but there was a noisy birthday party outside on the patio as well so it was a little difficult to hear and enjoy fully.

Very nice watering hole with friendly staff and great atmosphere. I had the fish taco's and Caesar salad side which were excellent.

Expanded their patio space with an outdoor tent to keep the sun off. Food and service were wonderful. Reduced seating due to pandemic but the kitchen is still doing a great job. Recommend the wings.

Being out on the patio was great. Good selection of beer. I had the fish tacos with a side of sweet potato fries and my sister had fish and mash potatoes. The food was well prepared and tasty.

I was very disappointed with the service. We put our name on the wait list and the host said it would be a 30 min wait but we could leave and he would call us when the table is ready. We left for a little bit and came back 20 minutes later and waited in the parking lot for another 30 minutes and never got called. As we were sitting there we were watching people go in and getting seated right away even though you can’t reserve seating. Very disappointed because this used to be my favourite restaurant.

Outdoor seating today, food was served quickly and hot. We waited a few minutes to be seated, have to respect them for following guidelines. Everything tasted great, we ate eveything we could. Never had to ask for a refill, staff was helping each other out. Played mine kind of music, knew the words to all the songs. Lovely local place, we will return for sure! No complaints from our crew. Happy, full bellys, thank staff for making it a good first outing after so long.

I took my wife and parents out for supper. Was not expecting to have such an amazing time. Our server Taylor was absolutely amazing. Drinks were kept full and we never wanted for anything. We tried the spud skins, scallops, mozzarella sticks, deep fried pickles. For my main I had the beef yorky.

Lots of great beer choices on tap.

The food was absolutely amazing. Everything was well cooked and the taste was on point for each dish. We all enjoyed our time at this gem.

The only negative point I have, is to ask for a table with chairs. We had to sit at a picnic table. After a while it started to be uncomfortable for us older folks.

Coivd protocols were followed 100%. Ty again Taylor and the chef for an amazing evening.

I ordered the fish and chips would have rather have gotten them from a fish and chip place not awful but not great, my wife got the club wrap barely any chicken in the photo shows how much chicken was in the one side of her wrap, mom got the toasted mushroom melt and she really liked it. Those 3 lunches and 2 mixed drinks plus a 15% tip came to 74.09

Aside from being VERY NOISY.

Great service.great food and always good brews on tap. Even during these times of Covid we could scarcely hear one another from our booth seats across from another. We had the fish and chip dinners. Great flavour.

Great and friendly service ALWAYS. You dont feel like a number filling a seat, you feel like royalty when you are at the oarsman.

Good food, unfortunately our server, a blonde short stack was rude and unprofessional. Went there in December but am writing this now. Hope they fired that diva. Avoid this place if you can

I saw them setting up the fenced in outdoor patio seating earlier this week in preparation for opening on Friday June 12th. I was driving around and stopped in the parking lot about 12: 30 p.m. Today and noticed at least two empty tables so I got out of my vehicle and went over to get a seat and something to eat and drink. The waiter asked me if I had a reservation, which I said no. I then asked if I needed a reservation and he stated yes, so I turned around and went back to my vehicle. I will not come back again and will advise all of my other friends on social media to do the same.

Bit noisy on a busy night, but service was good and food arrived quickly. Some of my fries were under cooked, but overall the meal was good.

Great pub with a large selection of draft beers and a good menu with reasonably priced food. Also has very easy parking and the staff are very friendly and courteous.
Would recommend it for a casual dinner or a place to go with work colleagues after work for a drink/munchies.

Food is delicious, staff super friendly - I go for lunch there a couple of times per month and have never had a bad experience.

Awesome! We frequent often and have never been disappointed. Food is awesome and the service is amazing. It's a friendly, cozy and inviting place to eat and very clean.

Servers were friendly. Had the fish and chips. Fish was to heavily battered for my preference, more bread than fish ratio. My husband had the loyal hoagie and said it was good.

The food was great and complimented by great service, the nachos were some of the best I've had

Awesome atmosphere! Staff was amazing and inviting. Very informative in their drink menu and their brewers.

Went there early evening for a beer and nachos. Busy place and a bit noisy but not overly so considering large crowd. Nachos were very good. Friendly staff and good service. Recommended.

This was my first time and won't be my last. The fish and chips was amazing and the service was perfect! If your looking for a pub with parking away from downtown its definitely worth a try.

Very cute tavern! I enjoyed the decor and home-y atmosphere. I wasn't a big fan of the fettuccine alfredo, but the fries were amazing.

We thoroughly enjoy going to the loyal oarsman we we enjoy the fish and chips here any onion rings yesterday we had the loyal oarsman platter and was not impressed with the taste of the nachos the toppings were fine but the nachos themselves tasted rather old it won't stop us from going and enjoying this restaurant but we will not be ordering the nachos again it would be nice if they had more craft beer on their on their drink selections overall we thoroughly enjoy this restaurant one bad meal does not make it a horrible place to eat Stafford always kind and pleasant sometimes they're very busy but still take the time to take care of you we will be returning to the loyal oarsman for fish and chips
