Firkin at the Tannery

Good soup and Mac and cheese salad and burger good coupon was good I will be back again have another coupon alway like coupons

Food is okay, nothing amazing. Drinks same thing. Service same thing… the trend is that this place is just okay. Nothing spectacular or to write home about. What I hate the most is the vibe. It doesn’t feel like a pub. The loft factory ceilings and big spacious room just don’t equal pub to me. Plus he location downtown is off the main strip and just doesn’t feel part of anything. When my friends suggest going here I always try and suggest something else.

This place is FANTASTIC,. The food is fantastic and the service was great!
I have been here numerous times and each time I left very satisfied.
It is great to see that the place is doing well!
Definitely suggest you check it out for yourself!

Overpriced sub par food. Most if my friends who work at the tannery dread going to this place and would only consider going for its proximity. Not a bad place to go for just drinks though. Their menu is short and most of the food I’ve tried were off.

Came here a few months ago (on a Friday night) and had an ok experience considering this is a chain restaurant. Food was average and prices were a few dollars more than I would expect, but it was ok overall.
Went back today (a Sunday) and had slow, negligent service and awful food.
I ordered a large salad that was pitiful for the price I was charged ($ 11). It was wilted and quite small given that it was supposed to be meal-​sized. I sent it back because it was wilted and they gave me a slightly larger serving of wilted. soggy, and limp salad. Disgusting.

First and foremost, this is a Firkin. So, you know you’re going to have lots of beers on tap, good bar, good food (albeit deep fried and grilled all around), and nice surroundings. The Firkin at the Tannery exceeds Firkin standards. On top of the Firkin basics, because it’s in the Tannery it had soaring ceilings, which really opened things up without making it feel cavernous and echoey.
I went here for Family Day with my parents who were visiting from out of town. We needed a place to go, hang out, catch up, and just have a good time. Our server Steve let us take our time, he joked around with us (called Guinness vitamin G, which made my father’s night), and took good care of us.
We kicked off our night with a round of beers (Sam Adams Winter Ale, Vitamin G, Creemore Pils) and a couple of apps (Big Poutine and Irish Nachos). Beers were the right temperature, and the appetizers were certainly tasty. It seemed like the Irish Nachos sat in the window a little too long, but it didn’t hurt how delicious they were (waffle fries, cheese, bacon, green onions). The real appetizer magic was in the Big Poutine. The gravy was real gravy, the cheese were real curds, and THERE WAS MEAT IN IT TOO! Just delicious. Lots of potatoes in that course, but we managed to eat dinner, too.
Our mains consisted of the Big Firkin Everything Burger (I can’t remember the real name) which has the menu on it (fried egg, onion rings, deep fried pickles, plus the usual toppings) for Dad and I, and Mom went for the the winter specials, and had the stew (Chicken and Sausage). The burgers were better (in my opinion), but apparently the stew was also quite delicious. No one was disappointed. Well, except for my disappointment that I couldn’t finish my fries because I was so stuffed.
We washed it all down with some coffee. It’s just regular coffee. If you want fancy stuff, go to Balzac’s (it’s basically next door).
All in all, no significant complaints. It’s a pub, it’s a Firkin, and it delivers.
