From the outside we thought this place would be a very average pub feed, but it outdid our expectations for sure! Lovely fish tacos, great kids meals, fish and chips for adults was huge incl a nice salad and the steaks with baked potatoes were delicious. Food came within 20 mins despite it being quite busy.

I wouldn’t advise dining at Smugglers. I ordered the chicken tacos, and it was barely half a chicken breast, overcooked and dry, with coleslaw and minimal sauce—definitely not worth the money. My husband had the ribs, which seemed boiled and coated in a sweet sauce afterwards. It was unpleasantly sweet when he scraped the sauce aside the meat was pale and unappetizing.

Nice place, friendly staff. I'd only have to comment on the fact that some of our parties food order wasn't prepared, and we had to ask a staff member about the whereabouts of the meal. But within a short time, the chef had made up the meal. Otherwise really nice atmosphere Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–40 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4

Blown away by this amazing place. Food was impeccable, worth every dollar. I had the Lamb Loin (it's a dinner special), the Hot Pudding of the Day (Apple and Peach Crumble), and a Guest Beer (Panhead Blacktop Oat). I wasn't very hungry, but once I started eating the Lamb Loin, I couldn't stop and polished off every bit, even the sauce. Similarly, the Hot Pudding was such a joy. Loved the friendly and warm service from the staff! A bonus was the interior design of the place: unique, fun, informative, and homely. I feel so lucky to have discovered this place and look forward to trying more dishes! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The food was so yummy, and the place has great character. Peter, our waiter, is great! - so friendly with a great sense of humor. "Bob" the fish in the tank (not on the menu!) follows you around when you put your face close to the glass, and I haven't seen anything like that before! - very entertaining.

Great restaurant, the mains are quite huge. Tacos are a great size for older kids. Steak was meant to come with coleslaw but came with leafy greens. Chicken Kiev was cooked to perfection. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

The place looks cool, and i really yerned those ribs, but.... They were made horribly, and even though I ate 2/9, I was still charged for more than half a meal... That's a steal! Shame on you, even the burger I ordered after wasn't good (ate to be full...) 97 dollars for a 1 person meal, I'll never get back in there again (and neither anyone I know) Price per person $90–100 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3
