the morrissey house

poor service, good food. came here for brunch on saturday around 12:30pm with a friend and it was some of the worst service i've ever received in a restaurant. i arrived first and was only given one menu, but when i asked for a second, the waitress disappeared and didn't return for a solid 15 minutes, by which point my friend and i had just shared the one menu. same goes for drinks; we ordered glasses of water which took over 10 minutes to come. from what i could tell, it was only myself and my friend plus another couple dining so i'm not sure what the holdup was. i could see the two waitresses chatting behind the counter the entire time which was frustrating when we had to wait so long for everything. the waitress didn't even come back to check on us after we got outfoodwhich was frustrating because my friend wanted some ketchup.

luckily thefoodwas good or else it would have been a complete waste of time. i had the morrissey eggs benedict and they were good. the hollandaise sauce was very tart, which was different but still good. the homefries were tasty and my dish came with a ton. my friend got the skillet with chorizo sausage and hers were literally amazing so i'd probably go for that one if i were to ever go back.

a very elegant experience. with class and style with room for a home-like vibe, this place provided me a safe setting to try a variety of unique beers and then finding my brain on the floor. besides great beer, thefoodis comforting and yummy. great experience, if i remember correctly. staff was awesome too.

thefoodwas excellent at the morrissey house and definitely would come back again! our waitress was wonderful and thefoodhad wonderful flavour! pretty big portions. would recommend making a reservation since this places gets packed! and we came on a tuesday!

very nice. this was a stop in on a recent trip to london and it ended up being a very nice surprise. the beer list is not extensive but the selection consisted of good beers. there is care taken in thefoodpreparation and presentation. the atmosphere is funky and a patio for relaxing. a very nice surprise in london.

one of my all time top 3 places to eat in london! always have great service and thefoodis always delicious. my partner and i finished the sausage board, a glass of red sangria and a cold brew. highly recommend!!

we only popped in to get out of rain . we’re planning on staying for a drink but thefoodcoming out smelled amazing and looked delicious so we stayed for dinner . we started with the two way shrimp - awesome . we had the white bean coconut curry and the cottage pie. both were great , the cottage pie was sooo good. piping hot ! will definitely stop in if in the area again .

first sign was a menu that was too long. staff was friendly butfooda let down. i still need a good dining place in london. steak ordered at the table was quite ok. pulled pork ordered at table fine enough but not outstanding. mussels and fries unfortunate - mussels overcooked and broth was very boring. didn't seem fresh at all although the fries were really great. risotto balls nice but lacked flavour. fries super tasty and crispy but the mayo that i had to ask for turned out to be sour cream - again staff very nice and were happy to accommodate chairs not comfy. this is a pub and it should promote itself as such - great place for beer and nachos etc. wings were ok but again not great. nothing stood out which was quite sad as nice spot and nice people.

likely my fave place in london. not only does it have a causual, community pub kind of feel. their craft beer choice is almost unmatched and thefoodis amazing!

pub nights on mondays, wine wednesdays and even weekend brunch - the hits just keep coming. cannot suggest enough!

second time here.  first time reviewing. 

finding a place to park around here can be a bit of a challenge, but if you can get in the lot directly to the west, it will only set you back $4.  a bargain by london standards.

the restaurant is set in a turn of the century house.  decor still has some of the original millwork and fireplaces.  it can get a bit crampt, and loud (depending on the crowds) but overall is clean and pleasant.

thefoodis delicious, reasonably priced, and of good proportions.  the schnitzel is about the best i've had.  2 giant pieces, tender, and lightly battered (not oily).  the ribs are fall off the bone.  although not the best ribs i have had, they are very good.  homemade side potato salad was excellent.

then there is the beer.  there are 18 beers on tap.  15 of them are ontario craft beers, 2 are ontario craft ciders, and the other being guinness.  great variety that is constantly being changed.  decently priced too.

overall this place has it all.  great food.  great beer.  large proportions at a decent price.  if you can't enjoy eating here, you cannot be pleased.

we come here all the time. service is great even on a busy night. the meatloaf is the best ive had.foodis well cooked, and presented nicely. highly recommend!

a pretty surprisingly good place for food. my expectation was low because i thought it's more of a bar.foodis good, service is very good, setting is lovely and homelike, portion is generous, and menu is very reasonably priced.

this is where i send people who are new to london. a great pub, run by great people.foodis amazing (nachos, schnitzel and their desserts are amazing) and they have local craft brews on tap (no big breweries here!). staff is super friendly, great atmosphere to hang with friends. my favourite night is trivia night on mondays. starts at 7pm, but be sure to get there by 6:20-6:30 to get a table. teams take trivia seriously, so be prepared for battle. we never win, but it's always fun!

just dined there this evening with my boyfriend and we loved it! great location and building,foodwas delicious and the service/servers were excellent! we both had the pulled pork and mill st organic beer. if we're in london again, we'll surely stop by here!

great pub food!. party of three, we made reservations and were seated quickly (saturday night ~8pm). we'd checked the menu prior to going, but what stumped us early on was what to drink with dinner! decided on mixed drinks for two and wine for one.
dinner was prompt and consisted of a savory cottage pie (similar to a shepherd's pie but with less mashed potatoes) topped with parsnip chips (very tasty, and i tend to dislike parsnips as a rule) and a house salad which was crisp but a tad too much dressing (mine was a swimming a little).

the other main was the pork schnitzel which was described as a 'meat pancake' and while thin, there were two and they covered most of the plate. a side of mashed and some nice green beans finished the plate.

service was prompt and attentive and thefoodwas tasty. the atmosphere was typical pub-style, louder than a simple restaurant and the building itself had its own charm, as it was an old victorian separated into smaller rooms with a bar area with tvs and seating areas for dining.

we enjoyed ourselves so much, we forgot to mention our 10% discount coupons we'd been given for the film festival we were visiting. thefoodwas still worth it! definitely coming back - now that its starting to get warm (x-ing fingers), i think we'll try the patio.

my favourite place to eat!. since my girlfriend and i moved to the downtown area, morrissey house has quickly become our favourite spot to go eat cheap. we're both students and can't afford much but morrissey's prices are spot on. i love the fish and chips, every time i've ordered them they were perfect; and the fries, my god the fries! i'm not sure what they put in their fries to season them but they are amazing!
the staff is always super nice and cool. i love how the atmosphere is so chilled out and i always feel like the staff really enjoy their work. the atmosphere is definitely one of the main reasons (besides the food, of course) that we keep coming back. we always feel comfortable at morrissey's, never rushed, never feel like the staff is trying to get us out the door or rush our dinner along, none of that. it feels like a home away from home that i can get some goodfoodor some beers with the mates and watch the match. can't wait for rugby season to start!!
