Oliver’s Ale House

Some of the best wings I’ve ever had, and the fries or wedges are fantastic: crisp but super fluffy inside. I came in right before they were closing by accident and the owner happily served me, and I got to chat with the chefs and the owner while having a beer. This place is well worth the walk or drive from the nearby hotels. I came back the second night to try the mussel and beer special. Gourmet food at pub prices.

Legit little gastro-​pub located at Tomken and Meyerside Drive in Mississauga by the airport. Modern and cozy atmosphere with great wine selection. Had the steak with fries and it was delicious! Will come back again for sure.

The food was delicious but the service was terrible. We had all three waitresses asking us the same questions yet it took us forever to actually get anything. It was frustrating and confusing. Good experience but don’t plan to go back.

Good food. Beer selection is good, wish they had Belgium Trappist beers. Nice atmosphere. Easy parking.

Recently had my office Christmas party at Oliver’s Ale House. The location is very close to my office, and I had been excited to check it out. I believe the entire restaurant was closed for our private event. The décor was nice, and the wait staff was pretty good. There was a live band, but they were garbage, and they were set up way too close to all of the tables. We could hardly speak to each other because of the noise that the band created.
The food was plentiful, but the taste was just «okay». The pasta dish was especially poor (the owner was boasting about how good it would be). I ordered a total of three beers over the evening. All three were different, and they were never the ones I ordered. The owner was very rude to our party.
The owner seemed to have himself parked next to the beer taps all night. I’m no expert, but I don’t believe I ever saw him with an empty glass in his hand during the duration of the evening.
Because of the rude and inappropriate behavior I have witnessed by the owner of Oliver’s Ale House, I will never go there again. I will also be sure to share my experience with anyone who asks. I wish the business all the luck in the world, because considering the attitude of the owner, they will need it.

I was late in my travels. All I was able to find are fast food and chains that do not really take a dining experience seriously in Mississauga. My wife urged me to check this place, Oliver’s Ale, «their menu looks good and well priced»… but it was already closed the first night that I landed.
I ended up at Oliver’s Ale 3 nights later. It’s been a busy week. The moment I opened the door and stepped in, I knew I would like it here. The smell was amazing! I was corrected by the chef, did I mention CHEF?, that it was to be termed aroma. That aroma was exactly what I wanted for dinner. I had to have it. I was served an amazing tangy BBQ burger that came with a hint of spice. It was large… no need for a side they said. Well, maybe a couple of pints Hop City Big Mouth Pale Ales. Also, an excellent choice in beer selections.
The menu is a combined talent by the Chef and Sioux Chef. Excellent choices in wine, spirits and beer by the FOH. Mary Ann (forgive me, I did not write your name down).
Until we meet again, I will have to try everything on the menu eventually!

Very nice restaurant. I met the owner and had a great burger. They were getting ready to close but stayed long enough to cook me some great food. I had the Oliver Burger and it was huge but perfectly cooked. Nice combination of flavors.

A gem! — We stayed at the Sheraton Four Points on Dixie Road. The traffic was quite bad and we didn’t want to venture too far. After looking online at 20 – 30 near by restaurants, many of which were fast food, diners, delis or places that had focused on a very specific type of food we stumbled upon Oliver’s Ale House. What a little gem. Upon walking in we found the place was well kept, clean, and comfortable. We sat at the bar and had one of their own micro brews, it was very good (crisp and smooth — many micro breweries try too hard to differentiate themselves and go overboard with spices and fruit). Appetizers were great and the dinner was very good. The owners were there and they were wonderful with us. If you live in Mississauga or if you’re just passing through, you have to stop in and visit Oliver’s Ale House.

Mississauga can sometimes feel like a desert of mediocrity, and this is an Oasis. Though the tap list isn’t long, the bottle list is and both are mostly craft. I’m not sure if Mississaugans (is that what they are?) asked for something besides Molson and Labatt, or these guys think they should, but it’s here just the same. I’ve only been twice so I can’t say much about the food other than that the veal sandwich and burger are above par, and better than anything nearby.
They are brand new. Let’s hope the community supports this effort.
4 stars for being different.
