The Blue Elephant

New to town… Excited to see a Brew house pub. The beer did not disappoint, the food however did. I always expect a pub like this to have an amazing burger, especially when they exclaim ‘farm fresh to table’ right on the menu.
The burger, maybe fresh from frozen, as were the fries. Burger overcooked severely, fries just undercooked and mushy. The bun was spot on, and the BBQ sauce was damn good. The rest of the toppings were irrelevant since the patty was so bad.
Should have been suspicious of a $ 12 burger
My phone died during my review…
Experience went from 3 stars to 2
10 minutes without being asked if I’d like another beer. Had to go to the counter twice to ask for my bill. Waited another 15 minutes.
While waiting, the table beside me asked for fried rice with their dinner. When the rice came it looked like a puddle of spicy rice pudding. As you can guess he asked for it to be changed. Two waitresses and the cook (who was busy during this gossiping at the counter with the rest of the staff and a customer/​friend) came and gawked at the travesty on his plate. I still did not get my bill. The abused rice was receiving more attention than my need to leave.
Originally this was the end of my review;
I will come back and try something else as the place has a nice atmosphere and the wings look good.
Not so much now
I try to never write bad reviews, but I had already started.

I had lunch today at The Blue Elephant with my family. We ordered the Thai platter for two and the spent grain pizza. The Thai food was good, but the pizza was EXCELLENT! I would return just for the pizza.
The staff was polite, and the atmosphere on the patio was pleasant.
The craft beer at The Elephant was great, we tried the lager and the cherry beer and both were lovely.
I will definitely return to this restaurant and bring my friends!

Best house made hummus I’ve ever eaten. Will definitely be back to their stunning patio to drink beer and eat all of the hummus and flatbread I can get my paws on.

This place is a favourite of many of my family members. I went there with some of them today and really enjoyed it! I expected average food based on the atmosphere of the restaurant, but my red pepper and brie quiche impressed me. The pastry was so tender!

Just awful service and attitudes. We were there with a lot of people, so I grant that it was busy. However, when you are in the market for scowls and tasteless food– I recommend it highly.

This place is Hit & Miss. Maybe it depends on who is cooking or something, but the food ranges from poor to good. For example, The chicken sandwich with avacado can sometimes be a tender piece of breast, to other times being something that is dry & hard around the edges.
