The Marlborough Pub and Eatery

Restaurant Bar Pub

👍👍 I stopped by here with my children on a Sunday for some snacks and drinks. We ordered several plates to share and enjoyed all of our dishes. The service was also quick, while I found the prices reasonable. People often mention good, great, service, staff, atmosphere, Marlborough, friendly, nice, potato, chicken,

    Had driven past here several times and decided to check it out. Easy going atmosphere, good food, and cold beer. Service was very good. My chicken with the Dijon sauce was very good but my partner's Marlborough Chicken was just okay. Would I go back...yup. Want to try some other menu items.

    The food was great. It was good pub food, served hot. The staff were friendly, funny, and helpful. They have a nice atmosphere, it's a great place to chat with friends, have a drink, and enjoy a meal. I had their burger, it was good. I recommend the maple toffee cake. If you have a sweet tooth and like caramel flavors, then you will like this dessert.

    Excellent service, very nice environment. Although a very beloved spot for many I feel the food is very uninspired even tho I'm sure the team here is extremely capable of greatness! Unfortunately for now I think you could probably do better at home.

    Nice looking restaurant, nice staff, was disappointed in my mashed potato’s.. they were suppose to be buttermilk garlic… They tasted like dish water flavoured potato which was disappointing. The chicken was just ok. The deep fried cheese curds were good, same with the potato leek soup and the peanut butter pie. Pls upgrade your mashed potato game

    Went to The Marlborough for our first dine-out since COVID restrictions eased. If I could give them 6 stars I would! Dined indoors as the patio was full (we did not make reservations) the dining room is bright and spacious with booths and bar seating. Washrooms were spotless !! The staff was friendly and attentive and a gentleman who I assume was the manager or owner approached our table to check our satisfaction twice. The food was outstanding. I had Cashew Dijon chicken and my husband chose the HUGE serving of Prime Rib (available weekends) salad to start, FRESH perfectly cooked veggies and choice of potatoes or rice. Fries were fresh cut and very good. Baked potato was huge and perfectly cooked. 1 beer, 1 tallboy cooler, 1 6 oz wine… Our bill was $100 ! Incredible value for the meal that we were served We will be back

    My first post Covid dinner out was a great choice. Prime rib was the best I’ve had in a long time, perfectly seasoned and cooked. The fries were pretty darn good too. Service was warm and the owner was great to accommodate without a reservation.

    Came herea few times. Poutine was good. Steak was OK. Mussels weren't amazing. Service is good if u get the owner servers are hit and miss one was grumpy one was nice and attentive. Owner bartender makes a great long Island the other girl gave us tequila and pop. Could be worse could be better like and non chain restaurant it's hard to get consistency.

    Busy pub in a great location with a good selection of food and beer. The soup I had was a little salty but overall I liked the food. It was just enough food, so not feeling too stuffed or still hungry. I had the soup and sandwich lunch special. Probably around 25$ after tax. Then add tip. I will be back.

    We departed from this lovely establishment via motor coach to attend a football competition in the national capital, upon return we feasted on delicacies such as skin of potato with herb and cheese. It was a delight. Would definitely recommend.

    Arrived just before noon on a Friday with a group of seven. We were seated right away, had our orders taken promptly, and had our food delivered quickly. Food was hot and delicious - six of our group had the club sandwich and the plates were licked clean. Overall GREAT experience.

    Fabulous food and service. Jason supports the community in so many ways....including opening slightly early for our annual Ladies Hockey lunch.

    Yes, the Marlborough is our local place but we just had meals yesterday and today at “the Oak” Stittsville and “ Milesto….” Kanata and the food at both places doesn’t come close to the meal selection and quality of the Marlborough. Weekend prime rib specials at the Marlborough are undeniably the BEST in the Ottawa area.

    Food is good (although my guests' fries were all end pieces, which wasn't appealing to eye or the mouth!) BUT overall excellent menu, great place for drinks and good company. Their Roast beef dinner and chicken wraps are excellent.

    We drove from Ottawa for a dinner out at the Marlborough. It's a great looking location, in a small town, complete with a healthy corn field out back. Full rural charm. We came across the Marlborough the day before and were seduced by the menu online. So we made a plan to drive out the next day. The menu is inspiring for a pub. We thought perhaps we had discovered a great small town restaurant that could run with the big city dogs. But the food, at least the entrees we ordered, were...to be blunt...more on par with cafeteria fare. We started with a small salad and mushroom soup. The soup was served in a small cardboard cup, which was interesting. It was pretty good though. We got the salmon and the chicken. Unfortunately our dishes were a zero-star affair...they were flat and limp, with what looked like basic steamed vegetables on a lonely plate. After a build up to the visit, it was suddenly "avoid talking about the dishes while we're there, and have a good time". Which we did. Our server was top notch, very friendly and very professional. We got to a quick chat, and it was her first time on five tables...she definitely handled it well, always checking in on how we were doing. This is where the Marlborough seems to excel, the importance they place on the serving staff helping diners feel comfortable and well taken care of. A quick tip for any restaurant: small portions don't automatically make a dish worth a higher price! Our dishes cost us over $20 each, but I would objectively value the quality of the food at about $7. After wine it was a $100 night. We should probably have known, like many pubs, not to venture outside the areas of traditional specialty. I would have probably really enjoyed a burger and fries there. But the menu sounded like they were up to an entree. If those entrees were frozen and just heated in hot water, it is more serious. Please don't do that, it's insulting and your customers deserve better. In short... The Marlborough has some of the pieces in place, but it's worth them urgently training their kitchen to live up to the promise of their menu.

    Food was fantastic and prices were reasonable. The reason I gave it 4 stars was because their special was posted and when I ordered it, I was told that the special was over. They should have erased it.

    We drove past that place in the morning to go do a job in Perth and wondered what it was like so we stopped there on our way back home and the food was truly amazing!! Really neat looking place and good service. If we ever go back that way for work or leisure, definitely hitting that spot again!!

    We happened upon this gem several years ago. Whenever we’re in the area we like to stop in. Always great service, great food & nice atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable too. Great job folks!!

    We go there specifically for the club sandwiches. It's about a 20 km drive for us and well worth the trip. It's made with an actual chicken breast and marble cheese. The fries were excellent as well. My wife got the sweet potato fries which were also very good. The staff are very friendly as well.

    Great experience. Jason found us a seat though we had no reservations. Wait staff was not in our face but magically there precisely when we needed him. Food was FRESH FRESH FRESH. Highly recommend.

    I visited the Marlborough Pub with a friend and my sister for lunch on a Monday. Jason, owner/manager of the pub was not in having earned a day off. The place was reasonably busy with a lunchtime crowd but the service was it's usual friendly and effecient presence. The usual large portions were served and enjoyed at a fair and reasonable cost. The only slight complaint to be had was the tenderness of the beef in the fajitas. The meat was tasty but not terribly tender but no mention of this was made to our server as everything else was good. I would definitely make the enjoyable drive out to North Gower again to be hosted by this eatery.

  • 5/5 Shannon S. 1 year ago on Google
    Service was friendly and well timed. Food was fantastic. Ordered meal size salad and ratio of ingredients was spot on. Club sandwich was amazing. Not deli meat at all and the fries were delish.

  • 5/5 Sandra Marena T. 1 year ago on Google
    Only been here twice but the food is amazing and the atmosphere is awesome. Enjoyed it very much.

  • 2/5 Phoenix G. 1 year ago on Google
    As someone who used to rely on these reviews when choosing where to take my business, this is the establishment that has made me question all reviews, forever. I honestly do not understand at all why so many people are saying the food here is amazing. It was not "bad" but I would say mediocre at best. The pub itself is nice and has a nice atmosphere. Our waitress was lovely. This is a place where I'd come to meet someone for a beer but skip the food.

  • 5/5 JYM 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, great service, nice atmosphere. Will definitly go again.

  • 3/5 Mama Mia Q. 1 year ago on Google
    Service was the bare minimum. Food was basic. I absolutely disliked the TV at every booth, and preferred it be turned off. Not returning. The sandwich and app I had tasted like they both came out of a bag. Nothing was special about how they were flavoured.

  • 5/5 R P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere and food. The steak was delicious, and so was the potato leak soup. The service is second to none. I will be back. Only 20 minutes away from Kanata.

  • 5/5 Daniel G. 1 year ago on Google
    Been there three times now... food always good, love the ambiance. Unfortunate this place is 45 mins drive from my place, but still worth the drive if not only for their chicken wings!

  • 5/5 Elwira O. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is a real gem right next to a city where most places serve the most lacklustre food I've ever experienced having moved from Toronto to Ottawa. I have never had a bad meal from wings, steak, salads and of course the famous prime rib. Whenever I have guests in town, we make sure to get a dinner in and we're certainly happy to see things getting back to "normal" after the last 2 difficult years. Definitely a must visit!

    Good food, excellent service, good variety and selection from the menu. Food was fresh and in house prepared

    Stopped in on a week night on our way home and had a lovely dinner. The staff were warm, friendly and safe distancing sensitive. The food was superb. The servings were generous and fairly priced.

    Our group of four tried this restaurant for our first time, the food was fantastic, the prime rib was the best ever, the staff were friendly and hard working. Go eat there if you want a great evening out at a decent price. As I mentioned to the host at the door "We will be back! "

  • 5/5 Roxy D. 1 year ago on Google
    5 stars for sure. Wonderful place, really nice staff, and their fish n' chips are to die for. Nice to dine in or eat out. Coconut cream pie is spectacular.
