Amanda FoleyNovember 29, 2013The food is amazing here. My family had a Lobster-themed feast: Lobster mac n' cheese, Lobster clubhouse sandwich & Lobster poutine. Plus, fantastic Canadian beer selection. Definitely coming back.
Darryl WrightOctober 2, 2015Possibly the second best beer selection in the city next to the Stillwell but it's at its best on weeknights. Weekends transform the crowd into an odd mix of frat boys and club kittens.- The Lobster Mac N’ Cheese is a MUST!! Love the atmosphere at the Stubborn Goat, staff is friendly and food is amazing. Every Wednesday is wing night too!
Jenny PDecember 2, 2013We went on the weekend and split our dishes. We had the BBQ Chicken Pizza, Meatloaf & Gingerbread Cake dessert. Try the pizza and the dessert, skip the meatloaf. I will be going back for more.- Excellent lobster Mac N Cheese and an extensive beer menu. Live music and a patio. Highly recommended 👍🏻
Jessica NeilJuly 26, 2016Great Beef tartar, Caesar and seasonal salads, salmon, wine, service. The only thing just good was the fish tacos.
Tara HuntNovember 4, 2017The Brussels sprouts are delicious! Loved their brunch selection, too. Had the Huevos and Carlos had the lobster fries. All delicious!
Peter MinakiApril 4, 2016I arrived solo, sat at the bar. Bartender was friendly, helpful with menu. I ordered three items and he brought them all at once. When I pointed this out he replied thats how their food program works.- tanukikDecember 30, 2014Delicious meatloaf and so many beers to choose from. The salmon was very good but would have been tastier with more maple :p
Marc BOctober 16, 2019Beers and much of the food were great. Skip the Brussels Sprouts until they fix their bacon to sprouts ratio as it was sorely lacking on this visit.
Chantelle PidgeonJanuary 25, 2014Don't bother getting the truffle fries, just an extra $2 and I'm sure the regular fritters would have been just as good. Otherwise great atmosphere and friendly staff!- Jacek KDecember 5, 2015Excellent food, flawless service and impressive beer selection. Probably ma favourite pub in Halifax.
Alan GillisApril 27, 2014The hand cut fries with truffle salt are so delicious you'll find yourself ordering a second side!
Dirk VenterDecember 8, 2014Bacon avo pizza rocks in its li'll cotton socks. Grud, I went back for another, they must make them with crack.
George MacDSeptember 4, 2015Fantastic food and great beers on draught. Lobster sandwiches are the best!
Be sure to check this place out when it opens in fall 2013!
- Peter MinakiApril 4, 2016Mac n cheese was bland, the balls had little to no cheese stuffed in the them. The beans dish I ordered was the best of the three!
Jeannie Mundle Registered Massage TherapyOctober 6, 2015The beer selection, service and pizza was good too 😄

"Everything is good here -- the selection of beers is second to none in Halifax. All regions are represented and the food menu is limited but great."

"The Barrel Aged Barley Wine is released in small quantities once per year. It's pricey, but worth it!"
