😐 Went here with a small group of people for dinner on a slow night. We ordered a combo platter for 5-6 people. It read definitely more than enough for all of us! Food was okay. Chicken and wings were best, I would have expected better pulled pork and ribs for a smokehouse though. They did... People often mention server, great,

    Went here with a small group of people for dinner on a slow night. We ordered a combo platter for 5-6 people. It read definitely more than enough for all of us! Food was okay. Chicken and wings were best, I would have expected better pulled pork and ribs for a smokehouse though. They did have some of the best onion rings and their fries were great too. The owner was super helpful and went out of his way to talk to us before and after leaving to make sure that we were satisfied but unfortunately our server wasn't that great.

    We were in town for the night and ordered through Skip the Dishes. The burgers were oversized, juicy, and delicious. We would highly recommend it, worth every penny. We can't wait to go back and try it again when we can eat inside.

    I'm torn. Great flavours but could be cooked better. We started with the puffy chips as recommended by our server and they were so fun, colourful and crackly. We got the solo platter and a side of Mac and cheese, which was a good size serving. First bite of the mac was just okay but as I continued eating it, I realized it was actually so cheesy and good. The platter we got in included ribs, pulled pork, a drumstick, and a couple chicken wings corn bread, coleslaw and some fries. The sauces they used were so delicious but the ribs and pulled pork were somewhat tough/ dry. We ordered a side of gravy when we received our food and halfway through the meal, the server was kind enough to let us know it was still coming. We finally received it when we were done eating, and it was not a gravy we enjoyed at all. Very thin and flavorless. The service was very pleasant. I would definitely try it again

    Our first visit today and loved it. The owner was so friendly and when he heard that we had drove 1.5 hrs he sent us on our way with a little care package. The wings were the largest we have ever had & the fries were real. We saw others food being delivered and immediately said β€œWe will be back”. The vibe is awesome and you could see the beginning of a patio being built. Can’t wait to go again!

    I come to the 116 Bistro twice a week and have for over a year now. The food is always top-notch and the service is incredible. The bar is fully stocked and they keep some of my favourite craft beers ice cold and ready to cool you off. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and I've never had nay issues with the patrons here either. If you want a place for a quick bite to eat, a cold drink or a family meal then this is the place to go!

    Love this place so much! Everyone was absolutely amazing, the food was fantastic. But an extra shout out to the server Erin. She went above and beyond for my group of friends and myself. She’s honestly probably the best server I’ve ever had. Will absolutely be returning!

    Worthwhile place to go back to. We were the first customers of the day as they were opening. Friendly staff, even though they were busy getting ready. The owner chatted with us about some of the changes they were planning for the upcoming breakfast menu, as they were working on transitioning from their summer menu to winter menu. We had both of the daily specials, a breakfast poutine and a brisket egg sandwich. They were delicious, and SIGNIFICANT portions (plenty of potatoes). We didn't fully finish both dishes. Not as overly salty as what others have said. The brisket was just a touch on the dry side, but it was blended in with a decent sauce and egg on the sandwich that made it work well. I also had my eye on a reuben going in... so I think I had it in my mind to see a stack of smoked meat on the poutine... but I wouldn't have needed it because it was already quite a bit to eat. Overall, it was a great experience, with respectable and interesting dishes compared to standard breakfast fare. Likely will make more regular trips there!

    Absolutely terrible place to dine. We sat down for a 6pm reservation and had menus given to us and the server left for about 10 minutes. The place was barely half full and a band was starting to sound check. The server came back to get our drink order and we ordered food at the same time. She was gone for another 15 minutes and finally brought us our drinks. We waited for an hour and half from the time we sat down and finally gave up. As we were lining up to pay and leave to go somewhere else to eat, they said our food was coming out of the kitchen. There was nothing said to us about being short staffed or a bit of a longer wait for food. The server clearly had minimal customer service skills and the owner/manager wasn't a whole lot better. The staff was clearly incapable of meeting the demand the restaurant required and expected understanding and compassion without any communication to their customers about what was happening. I definitely don't recommend spending your time or your money here. Save yourself the hassle and go somewhere else

    Great live music with Dan Clost. I asked for fish taco although they weren't on the menu. The owner made it happen. Huge portions and delicious food!

    I very much enjoyed my Half Chicken take out dinner. Service at pickup was very friendly and fast. One of Belleville's best restaurants IMO... always has been great food for me and great prices.
