Reviews for The Hatter in Orangeville, ON
Really great service and a really good menu. This place however indicates GF foods on their menu, which may be GF but NOT SAFE... for Celiacs. I think that is misleading because there is cross contamination. The server was very quick to indicate that it isnot Celiac Safe. I feel they should remove that claim from their menus. Read more
So, it would have been a 4.5 star but a 4 would have been unjustified. The overall was great but it was quite slow to get the... food - which was quite tasty! Fish & chips was on point and the oysters was solid. Definitely a revisit is in order Read more
This is my favourite restaurant. On my last visit I enjoyed liver and onions. Thoroughly wonderful evening. The wait staff are... considerate and helpful. Read more
Went here on a whim because it was close by but oh my god the WINGS! Both my fiancé and I thought they were the best wings... we’ve ever had ! I don’t even like wings but I want to go back just to get the ones they make ! And the hot wings areactually really hot lol nice for a change ! Highly recommend !! Read more
Great beers on Tap. Smittys and other good local Suds as well. Cindy, Michelle and Jo are super cool Bartenders. Nice diverse... crowd, good music, good food. Nice patio as well. Mark your calendar for Lobster ???? Fest .. Awesome ???? Read more
Disappointing always a regular at the Hatter but todays experience was way below norm. New menu WITH new prices and the... elimination of half price apps?? Service was so so and taste of the food has been degraded. Wings still good and the deep friedpickles are amazing. Besides that sorry not a good experience. Expected more. Read more
OMG! So delicious. We went here for a lovely Sunday brunch on the patio, and having oysters and a cocktail after being without... restaurant dining for so long... just heavenly! Their Brie Fritters were also to die for... like the best, elevated version ofmozzarella sticks I’ve ever had in my life. My only complaint is that this restaurant isn’t on SkipTheDishes, but it’sprobably a good thing—I might literally order from them every day and get super fat if the quality of food is always thishigh!

We decided to go to the Hatter partially because we had gone there before for a brief stop before going to Forage, for dinner... but mostly because we heard that the lineups for the local rib festival were exceedingly long. Little we know... Servicestarted well enough, with a seemingly attentive server. The place wasn't busy (a few couples outside in the patio area - wherewe were sitting, and 2 or 3 smaller parties inside). However, our meal took an extremely long time to get to our table (thoughwe were approached twice for more drink orders and the other tables got their meals long before us, even though we ordered longbefore them). At the end of it all, the amount of time it took to get our food was well over 45 minutes if not over an hour. Icompletely understand delays - they are a part of life for a busy restaurant - but not when it's barely at a quarter of itscapacity. In fact, it felt like our order wasn't even submitted to the kitchen until much later on. The other server who wasworking outside kept making sidelong glances at our table, but, again, nothing was done (even though we kept asking after ourfood). At the end of it all, there wasn't even a real apology. No recompense whatsoever - and the icing on the cake was the"gratuity already included for parties of 6 or more" on the bill. The food was decent - which was small sliver of a silverlining - but it certainly didn't make up for the delay (which, frankly, affected our plans for the rest of thenight). Hopefully this is a one-off. As folks from out of town who enjoyed previous sojourns to other restaurants in the area(which were great experiences), we were very disappointed in this place and will probably not go back. Read more
