Harry McLean's Pub - MERRICKVILLE

The staff was extremely friendly and provided excellent service. The food was delicious.

On 3/20. august chose my man and I harry mclean’s pub hof to eat during our day trip to merrickville for lunch. we wore our face masks when we went into the courtyard, we were immediately impressed how far the exteriors were placed to ensure the physical division between the patrons. before we even settled down, one of the servers approached with a menu. he was closer than 6 meters away from us before we could walk away from him. we then noticed that the other server in the service was not wearing masks and not at least 6 feet away from the patrons. we have immediately informed our server our memory and left. we ate in yellow canoe cafe on their terrace where their server all masks carry and where the tables for the mozen were all a minimum of 6 feet away. we also saw how the server sanitated each table and the chair between the mozens. we were very impressed and will return to the yellow canoe cafe on our next day tour to merrickville.

Would you be willing to pay $17.99 for poutine or $20 for a burger with no side? Well, those are the prices at the weekend at Harry McLean in the Hofcafé. The restaurant has cheap plastic chairs, no atmosphere, a limited and uninteresting menu, and the audacity to charge those prices! Needless to say, we decided to eat at the Yellow Canoe Cafe instead. The prices there were very reasonable. They had put creativity into their menu (the cured sweet potato soup was delicious) and the atmosphere was rustic yet charming.

We stopped here for lunch after going to the Merrickville Christmas Craft Fair. The food was excellent ! We were served very quickly and the presentation was lovely! This will definitely be a new favourite place to eat in Merrickville for me!!

We arrived on a busy Saturday night and sat at a table that had just been vacated. It took almost half an hour to get the table cleared (by a young busser with attitude) and to order a beer, which took another ten minutes to...come. After we ordered a burger and wings we waited over an hour, and then were told that the server had forgotten to put in the order and now the kitchen was closed. We ended up with a salad, which was pretty good, and a plate of nachos, which was not. To be fair, the server was celebrating her birthday, which must have been somewhat distracting. She was superficially apologetic (and comped us for what we did get) but never came back to see if we needed anything else. In fact, she seemed more interested in partying with the regulars than in actually doing her job. In the end it took us two hours to have one beer and food that wasn't what we ordered. Bottom line: Stay away from this place. Apparently this is not a serious business: It's a social club for friends of the staff.
