The Nelson Street Pub in Pembroke offers a fresh take on classic pub fare with a creative and flavorful menu. Standout dishes include their layered trash can nachos, praised for avoiding the soggy, top-layer-only problem common elsewhere, and their beef patties, which boast a distinct and savory flavor. The burger selection is impressive, featuring inventive toppings like fried eggs and sautéed mushrooms, each crafted fresh daily. Sides such as garlic aioli chips and poutine complement the mains well, though onion rings received mixed feedback. Portions are generous, satisfying both casual diners and hearty appetites. While the bacon may vary in texture, the overall food quality shines. The menu cleverly balances comfort with novelty, showing a thoughtful approach to pub classics. This, combined with a welcoming atmosphere and outdoor patio, makes The Nelson Street Pub a must-visit for those craving well-executed, flavorful dishes with a twist. I look forward to exploring the full menu on my next visit.
