“ Loved the food and service! The poutine is a must try! We came in and asked our waiter to pick us a good beer flight and OMG: all options were amazing! We ended up returning to this place for a second time in one evening! ”
“ Strolling along 8th street and found a nice place to eat dinner. We sat outside and was pleasant with the heaters going. We had the Poutine for a stater and then shared the Wild Coho Salmon with Caesar Salad. Food was great and Amaya was a great server. ”
“ Dropped into Bittercreek Alehouse for a cheeseburger and it was fantastic! Perfect cook on the burger, toasted bun, Lettuce, Tomato and Onion fresh, clean, and crisp. This burger was delicious. Solid beer / wine / cocktail selections and overall cleanliness was on point (Read outdoor tables were clean / not sticky, and I always appreciate a cloth napkin). Stopped here for drinks twice and lunch once. I mention this because I would really like to foot-stomp the 10-star customer service. Our water Samuel was welcoming, courteous and took exceptional care of us during lunch. Also, during our other evening ‘hydrating’ stops, the rest of the staff was also extremely friendly and welcoming across the board. Holding doors, quickly grabbing condiments, transferring a check to the bar without asking us to close out and reopen our tab (hate that), not rushing customers – just an overall great experience. Definitely recommend. Thank you, Samuel, Gretchen and the overall Bittercreek team! See you soon. ”
“ Someone recommended this establishment and I’m glad I took their advice. Great beer selection, well-poured cocktails and the food was especially good. A great poutine that hit the spot after a long work day… ”
“ I stopped by Bittercreek for a weekday lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere—lots of seating options both inside and out. We grabbed a spot on the patio, which was perfect for a little people-watching and enjoying the sunshine. I ordered the cobb salad and was impressed by how flavorful everything was. The portion was more than generous, with plenty of fresh toppings and a nice balance of ingredients. My friend had the chicken sandwich, which also looked hearty and well-prepared. Service was friendly and our server checked in on us a couple of times, but it did take about 35 minutes for our food to come out. That felt a bit long, especially since we just had salads and sandwiches. Still, the staff’s positive attitude made up for the wait. Overall, Bittercreek is a solid spot if you’re not in a huge rush—good food, friendly faces, and a comfortable spot to relax. I’d definitely come back, maybe with a bit more time to spare. ”
