A bustling spot but I did get a seat at the bar for a quick bite. Joe went out of his way to make my experience top notch. When I asked to sub a soup for the side, he went into the kitchen to see...the daily special. He returned with a sample as he said it was easier to taste than to describe. It was delicious! A vegetable concoction that was puréed but still had enough bits of texture to make it interesting and tone of flavour, YUM! The burger hit all the right notes. This place has a very positive vibe, great food and excellent service.More

Enjoyed as part of a four top. Service was excellent, beer selection great but would be nice to have a hardcopy to view in addition to the QR code. I had haddock and chips with a side of gravy. Fish was lovely, downright buttery, the...crisp was perfect. The fries played second fiddle, and the gravy seemed oddly sweet - no problem, just went whole hog with vinegar ; ) the beer was good - flavourful and a smidge hoppy with little after taste. My uncle had the chowder which he generously shared with the table, the accompanying scone (supposed to be a biscuit) wasn't politely notable but the chowder was upper level exquisite. Would return and recommend.More

We walked by this restaurant during our port stop on our fall foliage cruise. We ventured in and decided to stay and eat. So glad we did! The food and atmosphere were both amazing. The wait staff were extremely friendly and knew we were visiting....The chowder is the best we had in the Northeast. Make sure you stop here anytime you are in town.More

My husband and I meet some co-workers for breakfast. This was our first visit with this establishment. We really enjoyed our visit. The hostess was quick to accommodate our larger group. He was so funny. Our waitress was quick to get our drinks and to...take our orders. She was also funny. We ordered the breakfast poutine! It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! The restaurant and washrooms were clean. Definitely be back again!More

Chose Britt's for my one night in Saint John, and was not disappointed. Very good selection of ales; friendly, relaxed atmosphere, and quite possibly the best seafood chowder I've ever had (and I've had a few).

The food was all good and 2 had fish and chips and rated as good, I had a lovely big salad very fresh and my husband had the fish chowder and said it was the best he had ever had. Staff could not have been...better and when we asked what we should see she came back with a hand written list with directions for us!More

The service was fine, beer was cold, and the food was exceptional! I would recommend this place, especially when the weather is good enough to sit on the terrace.

No matter what time of day I've eaten there, I am NEVER disappointed. The staff are great, the...Chef is amazing, and the atmosphere inside or out, is welcoming and relaxed. Stop waiting and GO!!!

Visiting with 5 other, and we shared apps, and each enjoyed our meals. My dish, a beef "stew" was fabulous! The interior decor, bright and modern, a pleasant surprise from exterior look. Has a nice patio out back. We didn't have to wait for our...meal and our server was highly responsive to our questions/requests. I'm visiting from the States, but I would return to Britts on a subsequent visit. You can have pub food/munchies or a full dinner.More

A couple of friends and I drove up to St. John for the day and chose your eatery for lunch. It took a good 15 minutes before anyone came to the door to seat us and then another 15 minutes before anyone took our order....Then began a 1 1/2 wait for us to receive our meals. Eventually 3 meals were brought out, one was the wrong one. When I told the waiter the order was wrong he was rude to me. That meal was taken back and another 10 minutes later my friend’s food was brought to him. We were extremely hungry by then because all we had was beer and brunch was now turning into a 3:30pm late late lunch. My burger was cold and the cheese was congealed like it had been sitting out under a warming light for a while. But we ate quickly because we were very hungry. They told us it took so long because all the tickets went in at the same time, whatever that means. There are plenty of other places to eat in St. John. Never again.More

If you're in Uptown Saint John, you can't go wrong grabbing a bite at Britts. We make a point of going there every time we visit SJ. This time, we had brunch and we were both very pleased. I had the coconut French Toast and...my wife enjoyed the Fish Cake Beni. Well done, again, Britts.More

Originally we picked this Pub for its name ( daughters name Britt) It was amazing so much food. Very flavourful and staff was amazing friendly knowledgeable and gave us fun tips for ST John and surrounding area Would highly recommend this place for breakfast (...went for late breakfast-breakfast menu ends at 1130 but do have all day breakfast items ). When we were leaving it was filling up for lunch ( was during burger week) that menu looked amazing as well good selection of craft beers Art on the wall was fun vibrant and playful Drop in for a pint or food you will not be disappointedMore

Excellent experience with Britts Uptown! I called to see if there was a quiet spot and if it was busy so I could do a FaceTime date with my girlfriend as she lives away. They were able to accommodate perfectly. They asked if I was...the one who called and I was able to sit in the restaurant side all by myself, the waitress only spoke to take my order and would pop in here and there with a simple thumbs up to see if I was doing okay! They were very respectful and very accommodating. Food was superb, the pulled pork burger was awesome, a little messy but that’s to be expected. BBQ chicken kettle chip nachos were delicious, the sauce they use tastes awesome! The poutine was great, not too salty, plenty of gravy but fries cooked well enough to not get soggy! 10/10 service, zero complaints about the food!More
