Have been going here when we visit family in Sarnia for years and always have a great experience. Classic pub feel with good food and a fun atmosphere.

I rated this a 5 star because I adore this place. Why? Everyone is always so friendly and the servers do an amazing job. Why? Because the atmosphere is classic upscale Irish pub. Why? The food! Wings, boxstys, Reuben’s…. And the beer selection is tremendous!

To be fair let me begin by saying that we have ordered fish and chips before from this restaurant (Paddys) and enjoyed them enough to return and order the same,they have a lovely patio especially on a beautiful warm sunny day, but this time it...was VERY disappointing . That being said this order of fish was so limp it had to be pulled apart because it could not be cut with a knife .(undercooked,raw?) We are not fussy eaters and don’t normally comment on the food when the waitress checks back and asks how our meal is but this time I just had to comment to which the server apologized (of course not her fault but we wanted to let her know that the cook should be notified how terrible this meal was). Our mistake in hindsight was to not send the order back in the first place rather than partially eat a limp tasteless piece of fish . I would have to rate this as probably among the worst fish I have ever had the displeasure of being served and for the price , well that just made the experience even worse. We will not be back . As a side note the party across from us sent their meal back for one reason or another (don’t know what they had ordered)More

Young man that greeted us and sat brought to our table was extremely polite and kind. Waitress was very friendly but her overall appearance and uniform was distasteful. No class. Horrific long nails which should not be allowed when serving food. The food was not...as good as we expected. The service was better than the food. We had the house hamburger and non alcoholic drinks. The outside table was lovely to sit at on a nice sunny day.More

Stopped in today, July 25th with some out of town friends and sat on the patio. Been quite a while since I've been to Paddy's. Our server, Lauren was amazing! So friendly, so helpful, just so full of life! The chicken bacon sandwich and fries...were awesome. Nothing but rave reviews from all of us at the table with the food. (we all ordered the same) Thanks again Lauren for the outstanding service!More

We went for lunch and had to wait 35 minutes for a patio table. Our table was in the dog patio but we had no dog. Service was fast and efficient but she didn't wear a mask. I had the grilled bacon chicken burger with...fries which was delicious. My friend had stacked chicken burger which was excellent. We would go there again.More

We usually dine here when visiting Sarnia. This time I was very disappointed with the fish and chips that I ordered on a recent visit. The fish was over deep fried so the batter was very hard, the chips okay and coleslaw was sliced dry...cabbage. My partner mentioned her Shepard's pie was just okay. We will not return.More

We were in Sarnia for the afternoon and grabbed something to eat before heading home. We have eaten here before and returned because it is excellent food at a good price and great service. We were not disappointed.

Went there the other night, the host told us we could sit at a bench while we waited and my friend and I sat at two do we could sit across from each other, and since there was no one else waiting. The host came...over and asked if we could pick one bench or the other because if not he had to ring us out separately.... Not really sure what the logic is behind that but considering no one else was waiting for a bench this was strange. We ordered spinach dip to share and it was like they gave us the bottom of the bag of the chips. There were maybe 6 whole chips and everything else was broken in tiny pieces. The dip itself was good. I got the power bowl which was delicious, no complaints there, but my friend's burger had obviously been sitting for a while based on its appearance and her burger was only slightly warm, with cold fries. Our waitress was very nice, but seems like the kitchen staff was lazy or just didn't care, and the host had a weird attitude. Not into it. Loved MY meal but probably wouldn't go back based on this experience.More

This shows up on a list of vegan food in Sarnia. Well all their salads have meat in them. That about sums it up. Cheese and eggs in nearly everything else. They had a decent veggie burger with fries. But fries as a vegan option...is bs.More

The location for summer dining/drinks is great with views of the river. Atmosphere inside is unique. Food is good but not great. Over priced chain restaurant (Cara Operations Limited). Service staff is good but the restaurant is poorly managed.
