    I grew up at the Ship & Anchor. All 25+ year's since they first opened their door's. The Ship Burger and Breakfast Poutine are two of my favs so definitely give them a try! Make sure you arrive early

    Seemed a friendly enough place. I had the Bangers and Mash and it was solid. Tried a few different beers. Most noticeable was the Wild Rose Wraspberry. Interesting taste.

    You get all types at the Ship, depending on the night, or if its a holiday. Good crowd. Good food (try the Loaded Ship Burger), and GREAT staff. And it has 2 patios that are always popular.

    When you're in the men's bathroom dry your hands with both hand dryers at once, I call it dual wielding

    Order a loaded Ship Burger and a WildRose IPA. If they still have the tomoato Vodka soup order that as a side and dip your burger in it for heaven.

    Do yourself a favour and skip the nachos. Overdone and the guacamole was YUCKY. Yes I used the term 'yucky' for emphasis.

    Only come here if u have plenty of time. They are so slow. The wait staff gives u about 2 seconds to do anything before they take off for another 20 minutes. I just want to pay and leave already!!
