yellow dog tavern

surprised!. riding the edge of the exchange like a coyote in the bush line, yellow dog has a cozy, welcoming menu and feel. while the establishment itself feels a little run down, the plentiful pub grub options will satisfy most appetites. mature servers that generally know their stuff highlight this good, friendly neighborhood pub.

i had supper this evening at yellow dog tavern. it's not a fancy place but i found it comfortable.

i ordered mac & cheese with chorizo with no parmesean. it was really good. there was lots of cheese and it was tasty the chorizo had a bit of a bit. i would get this again.

ashley was my server ... she was friendly and took good care of me.

nice atmosphere, friendly attentive wait staff, and really good food. nachos were decent size, and had a ton of toppings, the philly panini was outstanding. i don't know how i got the idea that the potato chips included would be something different, maybe i expected chips made there or something, but was disappointed when the plain ruffles arrived with the philly. overall though everyone was satisfied with their food and drinks.

the food wow. top notch! everything safe from scratch and every bit was good. wish they had fries though but chip and dip sufficed. all good!

the food is soo good i love the reuben its so delicious. needs extra sauce though it can run a bit dry. ive also tried the monster hot dog i forget what its called but its pretty epic. good beer selection and cozy pub atmosphere.

the swizzle styx had lunch here today, we always visit the yellow dog in march in honour of pub month and we always have a good experience.  today was no different, service was excellent, although less than enthusiastic (our server gave good service but seemed in a foul mood, the hostess was great).  we enjoy the music here and the atmosphere.  we dined today on the stew, quesadillas, caesar salad, greek salad, mushroom soup, and yam and peanut soup and all were very good.  it's a cool little place, we will be back.


march 28, 2019 - the swizzle styx dined here again today for the last time.  we come here at least once per year.  the menu is very limited, which we can deal with because the food is very good.  we have had the same waitress now the last several times and that is what the problem is.  this lady should not be in the service industry.  a server can influence and enhance the entire dining experience but this person is so incredibly negative, she clearly hates her job and is not good with people.  we will never return.

as far as pub food goes, the yellow dog is the best i've found so far! --- if there is better, please direct me there! drinks are good, service is friendly, great location in the exchange/downtown, and the food comes out very quickly as well if you're in a rush. try the perogies or the mac'n'cheese if you decide to check it out. i actually prefer their pub food over the food at the kings head.

i literally have my plate still in front of me and my meal was so good i just couldn't wait to review! i had a fully loaded bison burger with homemade cream of mushroom soup. a++. i'm so full i should have stopped eating 6 bites ago; but i just can't stop!! yummmmm!!!!

not a fan of the atmosphere as a place i would want to hang out in for a beer but the food makes it definitely worth going to.

the stew is awesome and almost every dish i've ever eaten there was good.

went with friends on a saturday night before attending a show at the burt. the food was super tasty and the selection of beer on tap was way more than adequate. unfortunately they don't have a deep fryer so some menu items came with potato chips instead of fries. be aware the location is in kind of a sketchy part of town with sketchy inhabitants.

most importantly, the food was quite good. the portions were ample and the selection was quite diverse.

service was very fast and timed well.

overall a very good experience.

a perfect nice place for quick lunch in the exchange district. i ordered for the soup and sandwich combo and it was delicious. the soup for that day was broccoli and cheese and you can choose any sandwiches in the menu to go with it. they even make a half combo meal if you don't have a big appetite at half the price. i chose egg salad sandwich and the soup of the day combo. they have 2-3 kind of soups in the menus everyday including their special of the day. the other side of the place is a decent size bar lounge if you just want to enjoy booze. fast and friendly service.

cozy, comfortable place in downtown. i like the decor inside - feels very homey and pub-like if that makes any sense at all. the wood decor, it's nice. it feels like it's not just cheap ikea furniture inside, lol. 

food is great. i've had their italian sandwich which has salami, pepperoni, onions, tomato sauce, and red onion and that was good. i don't think it's on the menu anymore, or it might've been a special perhaps. their hot dog is pretty good too. they have a lot of "comfort food" dishes and definitely fits the pub atmosphere.

this place is one of my favourites!  great food, good local brews, nice relaxed atmosphere.  i get the chicken fingers and california club salad almost every time i come here, but the sandwiches and pizzas are also really good (perogy pizza!)

highly recommended!!

awesome every time!. i had the bison burger for lunch yesterday. i ordered it with the chips and home made french onion dip. it was very good. i've been here a few times, and it has hit the mark each time. it's a great place for burgers, soup, sandwiches, and other similar items. great!!
