pints & quarts

i had a verynicelunch , the food was fantastic, and the service was friendly and prompt.

in addition, the owner came by to chat with us and make sure we were enjoying our meal which was a verynicetouch. i would highly recommend this restaurant !

the variety of food offered is much better than what is typically found is a pub or bar - something for everyone. the also offer aniceselection of local beers in addition to the usual suspects. worth another visit!

the staff was verynicebut the food was greasy and fries tasted as if they were store-bought frozen. my friend had a burger, which tasted bland. very disappointed.

upgrade in the glebe. way better food than prior restaurant. love the burgers,niceand juicy. everything i order has been great. will be back often.

friendly service. tasty burgers. the rosemary in the dip for the onion rings was overpowering. the zucchini sticks were from frozen and served with sour cream which didn't help improve them.nicespinach salad option as a side(extra cost but worth it). impressive beer selection.

amazing burgers. tried the burgers last night after reading the reviews here and my buddy and i were very impressed. the owner wasniceand came around to the table to say hi. definitely a candidate for one of the best burgers in ottawa. going back again tonight :p

reservation. i called p&q to ensure a good table on saturday march 9, as it was my birthday, and i was to be treated by two good friends. when i arrived, the owner, mary ann, had set a most impressive table with a white table cloth, and flowers. she greeted us all warmly, and was most attentive. the breakfast was enjoyed by everyone, served on veryniceplates, and finished with a fruit sundae complete with a lit candle. it was the most pleasant of treats all round, and i commend mary ann and her staff for the attention and detail they went out of their way to afford us. p&q might be a pub, but it offers a service far beyond, if one requests it. thank you all people. i shall recommend you.

i don't think i ate at the same place as these other people.. so i leave the city for awhile and come back to what i thought was the royal oak only to discover a completely new staff and a different sign outside. as far as changes go, that's about it. not even the drink specials have changed.

i seriously question the veracity of some of these reviews. don't fool yourself people, this place is essentially a clone of the royal oak that was there previously. there may be some changes to the menu, but the quality is the same. i'm not saying it's awful, but it's pub food - nothing half as exciting as some of these reviews make it out to be. definitely not "fresh". i've tried the burger, which was good but not "10x better than the works" as one other reviewer noted. tried other things such as the poutine and salads. same as the royal oak.

service is... adequate. certainly not worth some of the gushing that's been going on here. the new owners areniceenough (almost to a fault) but have clearly never been in this business before.

i live close to the neighbourhood and when it was the royal oak i'd walk by and pop in a few times a month. i have noticed there are fewer people in there at any given time as opposed to when it was the royal oak. if the regulars aren't that regular anymore, that should tell you all you need to know.

succinctly, there are much better options within a minute or two walk of this place.

great burgers!. went last night to the new p&q pub on bank in the glebe. it looked new, then we were reminded this was the old location of royal oak. what a wonderful improvement this new place is! i had some kind of a suicide spicy burger (great!), and my wife had the greek burger. patties were flavourful, and tasted flame broiled. the fries were also good, as were the sweet potato fried. friendly servers, and the owner came over twice (!!!) to check if we were enjoying our meal.nicetouch! will definitely come back. recommended!

my friend & i just found out that the ownership has changed from royal oak to p&q so we gave the food a try 2 nights ago. i had the p&q burger & my friend had the meatloaf. both meals were amazing. the owner made sure to stop by our table and ask for our feedback. overall a veryniceexperience. will definitely be back to try more of their foods.

awesome service, great food. we loved the bangers and mash here, the owner is often around making sure everything is to par and the servers are quick. very cozy and they have wifi. we had a lovely dinner with pints of beer and then got some work done. it was anicechange from going to starbucks for a coffee and working.
