What a nice little spot! The food is well prepared and everything on the menu looks appetizing. They have a different fish special every day and it is always very good. On our last visit I ordered off the menu and I was not disappointed at all.. I had the veggie wrap and instead of fries I had it with the taco soup, and it was very good.
We will be back for sure!
Another bar on Augusta, except this one does not focus on craft beer. Instead, it just focuses on being a bar. And it is a good one at that. Fairly standard pub decorum is the order of the day, and it is a fairly small place (as all the places on this strip tend to be). I find it gets packed rather quickly, and it can be a bit noisy.
They have bands that play sometimes and the ones I have seen are entertaining. I usually order wings, and the 3 alarm fire sauce is very good, the wings are large, and well priced. The Veggie Panini I had recently was well prepared, spicy, crispy, with a lot of flavours going on. Most other folks' food looked great as well.
Our waitress was very friendly and quite efficient given how busy this place was on my last visit.
They don't have enough craft beer to keep me coming back on a weekly basis, but I'll swing in from time to time.
We went to the Pleasant Plucker for a bite before a show . We are from out of town and went here based on past reviews. We wanted good, but unique options in our dining. My husband is a burger man and really loved the hand-made bison burger. Great portions and great beef taco soup as a side...great fresh flavours and amazing pleasant quick service from the ladies that evening. I ordered the tuna steak with rice and vegetables...unique for a pub I’d say! All the sides were wonderful and had exciting punches of flavour and seasonings...met my tastes BUT the tuna was cooked too well and was tough. I mentioned this to the server and she promptly got me another platter, no charge, and also reduced our bill by $5. Amazing consideration for guests. The tuna steak was done wonderfully the second time and the price could not be beat. We were so pleased, love the ambience of the front dining area, but it was so busy we had to sit in the lesser-ambient back dining area...but the number of diners that appeared there so early at night (5 pm!!!) told us this was a popular venue so be there early if you want a great table and a spot to eat. We loved it!! Delicious, varied menu, great staff, great prices, great location.
I started working in the James South neighbourhood late last year and have always enjoyed checking out local eateries. I read some reviews on the pubs/restaurants along Augusta one day before lunch and had to find out if the rave reviews about the bison burger at The Pheasant Plucker lived up to the hype.
And do they ever! There is no question: this is the best burger I've had to date. I love the flavour of the bison, the fact that you can tell it was made fresh right there, and that it's grilled to perfection. Top it off with a nice bun (that unfortunately usually disintegrates before I get to the end) and fresh toppings and you've got a winner. Love that burger. It's become the burger I compare all others to now.
I have since introduced my co-workers to the pub and we often order out from there for lunch, and on occasion dine in. We even joined in on the St. Patty's Day celebrations this year there. (Had the fish & chips that day with a nice glass of Guinness.)
The two young guys that I work with have also fallen for the bison burger. Their Caesar salad is quite good too (looks like they make their own croutons), and a friend had the Reuben and it looked great. Great food overall... and a nice little pub to boot.
My coworker and I were looking for a new place to try... we are rather happy with our choice! After looking at the menu online, we had a few dishes in mind of what we wanted.
When we got there, all the tables were taken, however the server told us to have a seat at the bar and he'd get us a table rather quickly - and that he did! We were seated in no time and got a chance to review the menu again. I ordered the Bison Shepherds Pie and my coworker ordered the Suicide Wings with a side of fries.
Delicious!
The service was great, although the place is quite small, they did still have their hands full with a full house, but the atmosphere was so relaxed that you felt very taken care of. My shepherds pie came with a delicious house salad which was wonderfully dressed! The pie itself was quite tasty and I would definitely think of ordering it again - once I've gone back to try out other dishes of course!
My coworker loved the wings and the unique spice that gave it that extra punch of flavour. The fries were you're regular pub fries - why would you expect something different?
