Stubborn Goat - Halifax

Tl;dr: one of the best burgers I've had in a long time - don't miss this place; perfect for groups or a night out with friends__Atmosphere: your traditional

My husband and I went here for dinner on the suggestion of a localWe weren't entirely impressedI found their menu offerings to be quite overpriced.

Rolled up to this spot on a late May Thursday night and almost couldn't get in--SGG was popping! My boyfriend and I ate dinner on the loft and had a great

We were in Halifax for one day and, after wandering around looking for a place to have lunch, settled on the Stubborn Goat. Big mistake! My huevos rancheros amounted to two badly overcooked fried eggs, the kind where they had been cooked at much to high a temperature and were tough but with runny yolks, on a pile of, get this: iceberg lettuce, with some refried beans under that. DO NOT EAT HERE!!! The beer wasn't bad.

On a recent visit to Halifax with a friend we decided to eat at this lively restaurant. We sat at the bar and ordered drinks and was told the food was served "when it comes up" so great for sharing. We were fine with that (we thought) but it took 25 minutes or more for the first food to arrive, my friend's lobster mac and cheese, one I couldn't eat due to allergies. Another 25 minutes passed before my small salad finally arrived and then it became clear my other choice -- appetizer meat balls had never been ordered. The bar server was not that busy although when they realized we were not happy, the manager said they were "slammed" and consequently the service was not good. Simply terrible service and management as we had eaten at the Bicycle Thief where the service and food was outstanding and they served even more customers. We were still charged for this terrible food and service and there only compensation was for us to return the next day which clearly we had no desire to do so. When we returned to the Prince George Hotel where we were staying they told us they never recommend this restaurant as this is not an isolated experience. There are so many outstanding places to eat in Halifax, the Bicycle Thief, Five Fisherman to name but a few, so do yourself a favour and give this one a big pass.
