I find myself at this place multiple times during the week. I go for breakfast one day, lunch the next, and then for dinner another day, and I'm usually there for the nights events. They have great concerts, great food, the staff, at least the bartenders and bouncers are all fantastic and some of my good friends, and the service is more often than not fast and helpful. Just the other day after going to this place for a year and a half, had my first bad experience with service, but after mentioning it to the manager, everything got sorted out and I still had an excellent meal even though it was a bit slower than usual.
And their drinks are fantastic. I've only had one bad drink there and that was after they just started a new barrel so the beer was a bit watery - I just asked for a new one and they gave it to me no problem.
I can't say enough good things about this place. I never turn down an invite to this place.

If your looking for a quick, casual lunch, check up the Outback shack. It's in fanshawe college, so the atmosphere is very relaxed. If you go at lunch, its filled with student's drinking between classes and laughing, so if you want a bit quieter atmosphere, go for dinner.
Hardly anything is more than $10 here. Beware that 90% of their food is deep fried or pre-prepared, but it's still great. Their spinach dip is amazing, and their pita chips (which are served instead of nachos) are awesome.
They used to carry a dish called Chicken Pita Nachos which was FABULOUS. Unfortunately they took it off the menu this year to my disappointment.
The service is hit and miss as it's student run and the servers occasionally stop to talk to their friends. We've had days with great service, and days with not so great service.
It's definitely worth the stop for a quick meal... as long as you don't mind the student's !

This is a college campus bar, so be prepared for some noise and joking around. The bar service was top notch and the origional cocktails were fantastic!
The table service was great, it's 99% student run so the atmosphere is relaxed, but the food was really quick. It took less than 30min. from drinks to food on the table for 8 people! We had to go for dinner because there was a huge line-up at lunch!
Portion size is healthy and all the veggies were crisp and fresh.
Overall it was a great time, and I'm glad to see students getting good food at school and working on campus to put themselves through school.
