Reviews for The Local Public House in Bridgewater, NS
Took a friend for a meal after shopping. It was the worst food we had ever eaten. Onion soup was gross, quesadilla was way over... priced for the amount of filling and the tortilla was almost impossible to cut. The ONLY half decent item were the sweet potatofries. Total $54 what a rip off. Read more
This is my go-to place in all of Nova Scotia for a grilled Rueben Sandwich. Nothing else compares or even comes close! I live in... HRM and anytime I am in Bridgewater I always stop into The Public House for a Rueben and I am never disappointed! I have evendone the drive before in the past specifically to eat it, so I can assure you there is no other around that compares! Just makesure sure to bring your appetite because you will need it or you will leave stuffed to the brim! I have been coming here on andoff for years and it has never changed. If I could give this location 10 stars I would! Great service with amazing food! Youhave not lived until you have tried their grilled Reuben sandwich! ???????? Read more
Our wait was ridiculously long. It was so busy and they were obviously under-staffed. The food was ok. Not big portions and the... nachos were definitely not worth the price. The staff were friendly and trying their best. I felt sorry for them. Read more
My first time eating here and it will not be my last!! ???????? I had a delicious Caesar salad as my starter and then the Local... burger with fries as my main. The burger was juicy and grilled to perfection. The fries were hot and crisp right to the end!!The wait time was great considering how busy they were and the staff were very polite and seemed happy-go-lucky!! I had awonderful experience!! Next time, I won't be eating alone!!! Read more
Went in with my family after visiting for the first time in a few years. Walked past a guy smoking outside, which was gross... enough, Went into the restaurant and a lovely waitress greeted us and asked how many people we had. It was 5. (4 adults and atoddler) she said she would look for a place for us. The man smoking came in, and almost walked right into my 3 year old andsaid in a nearly irritated voice "I'm not sure we'll have a table" to which my mother politely responded "well the young ladywas looking for a table for us" to which he said "I don't think we'll have one" and he walked away. Already offput by hisattitude we were still waiting. We see the Lady go to clean off a larger table for us which was great. The guy came back andsaid that it'll be a 30 minute wait, (which would have been fine) and my mom said "she actually started cleaning that tablethere, and it might be for us" then this guy shoves his hand in my mom's face and says "well I am the manager and she hasn'ttold me about it", which... I mean what waitress tells their manager about every person they seat (to my surprise my mom didn'ttry to snap his finger) and gave even more attitude to us. At this point, we made the decision to leave and not bother waitingfor a seat because what manager sticks their hand in a customers face after being the most disrespectful, and most arrogantperson I've dealt with in a long time. Being in management myself, this is just unacceptable behavior and I can only imagine howhe treats the staff at this location if this is how he treats his customers. Will definitely not be returning.

I had a terrible experience here. It started out ok. We were seated and the waitress took our drink order (water). Then it took... about 15-20 minutes from there for her to come back and take our food order. Not exactly pleased it took so long considering therestaurant was only about a third full. We finally get our orders in, it's wing night so I got a basket of wings. I finished mywater. Cue about a 40 minute wait to finally get my basket of wings. A basket of 5 very small, super old, over cooked, grosstasting wings. They looked like they had been mummified. I've eaten a lot of bad wings (like a lot) but these might have takenthe cake as the worst. I ate them because I was starving and needed some kind of food. Now I will say that I share a lot of theblame in this scenario. I assumed that a pub with a wing night would know what they're doing. It takes a few minutes to cook upsome wings, it's one of the fastest menu items there is. 40 minutes!!! For the smallest wings ever. How is that even possible!Again, the restaurant was not very busy. I had put in a second order of wings when my first order arrived, because I was veryhungry and usually that's how I do it on a wing night. As soon as I ate some of the wings, I found our waitress (she was almostnever around) and cancelled my second order. Just an all around terrible experience; the service, the wait, the food. Also, Iput empty water glass at the edge of the table like you do. You think I ever got a second glass? Read more
