Review from Andrew L.

2/22/2012
Both of the previous reviews were looking at this place in comparison to Migz. Since I somehow never made my way into Migz, I think I can look at this place with a bit of a different light. However, I didn't view it much differently. The place, on the whole, disappointed me.
It's not terrible by any means, it's just not great either, which it should strive to be in a city teeming with restaurants and pubs. They serve general pub food (sandwiches, burgers, etc.). They had a decent drink special of $10 off of any bottle of wine, regardless if you bought their cheapest or their most expensive. But, of course, the wine is marked up quite a bit on the menu.
I chose to keep it simple (and cheaper), and just order their hot beef sandwich. It was adequate, fries that accompanied were good. The portion was of a healthy size, but the taste was nothing to write home about.
The décor is pretty nice for a casual sports bar, with sufficient TV coverage around the entire venue.
Service was adequate at best. Our waitress was friendly enough, but once our food was delivered, we were rarely visited and it was difficult to get her attention if we ever needed anything. It is great to be left alone to enjoy your meal, but not abandoned. The restaurant was almost empty, and our waitress was sitting at the bar multiple times.
The only thing that truly irked me was that they failed to make it known that they have limitations to their payment methods until we were ready to pay the bill. They do accept both cash and credit, but nowhere in the restaurant did it say you couldn't use debit nor were we told by the waitress so we had all smacked down our debit cards to pay. We were informed that there is an ATM in the building, but of course that would charge me probably at least $2.00 to use. It's not a huge deal, but if you're going to limit your payment methods you should really make it known. They did provide us with the famous $10 coupon as an apology for the inconvenience.
With a bit of work and a bit more attentive service, it could probably be a good sports location in Kits.
One true positive: they were playing great music all night long.Comment from Justine N. of Yagger's Kits Restaurant and Sports Bar 3/4/2012

Have you ever had an experience where you wondered if you were being pund'k?
Or to put it in terms for those lovely 80s babies of my era...thought, you were on candid camera?
Well, my trip to Yagger's was a bit like that.
I'll start off with the good, for a casual kits bar, I thought the decor was lovely. Not too dark, not to light, lots of TVs, it seemed a great place to catch a game or catch up with a friend (as I was doing).
And that's when it all turned sour.
We ordered.
Since it was a bar we splurged our calorie reservoirs on bar food - ordering onion rings and macaroni and cheese.
The onion rings would have been great had it not been for the ridiculously large dousing in pepper. And I'm not exaggerating, it was like they were taken out straight from the deep fryer and then rolled around in black pepper, and pressed into the pepper with a vigor. While I do enjoy spice with my food, not only was it insanely excessive, but uncomplimentary, it just didn't work.
The macaroni and cheese was everything but flavorful and included in that everything was endless grease. It was as oily as you can get without having any of the actual flavor that should come with cheese or even butter. It was a mess. And I know messes (I date them exclusively.)
We ended up sending the items away (and the waitress, to be honest, seemed none too surprised) but not before I was sneezing and my face was beet red from trying to forge through all that pepper.
In theory, I think this restaurant could be awesome. It's got a great location and I liked the interior set up. But to be honest, it felt like we were on an episode of Kitchen Nightmares and I just kept waiting for Gordon Ramsey to come bounding out of the kitchen with apologies and to assure me he was hard at work helping them turn this place around. -

i went here for the first time it's been changed into yaggers the other night and it was bitter-sweet because i absolutely loved migz.
they've completely renovated it, i don't like how there aren't booths anymore. and they've jacked up the prices too! $16 for a pitcher of beer ON SPECIAL is absolutely ridiculous. $20+ for a pitcher at normal price.
i do love and appreciate how they kept the migz spicy garlic prawns - although it's served differently, it's still exactly the same dish. the food is actually pretty good.Comment from Justine N. of Yagger's Kits Restaurant and Sports Bar 2/10/2012
Hi Gretchen Im sorry migz left us -- we were a big fan too… More » -

In a word... disappointing.
I really wanted to like this place. It's in my neighbourhood, the menu sounded somewhat innovative and featured organic ingredients. But overall my experience was very poor.
Food - I ordered the duck confit sandwich (mmmm duck slow cooked in it's own fat). While the duck was very good, the portion was extremely small, especially for a $15 sandwich. It included 'double blanched' fries which I had never tried but sounded interesting. Apparently that translates to 'overcooked, dry, over crispy and cold'. My dining partner ordered chicken wings which looked over battered (why does anyone batter deep fried wings) and apparently weren't good at all. Beer tasted old and stale.
Service - It felt like waitresses were hovering trying to get us to keep ordering beer. I appreciate some attention but this was way too much. It's not like it's a big place - if we needed service we could easily get their attention.
Value - $15 for a tiny sandwich and bad fries. $10 for a small plate of wings. I asked for a side of mayo to try and make the fries palatable, they charged me a dollar. I take points away from any restaurant that charges for condiments, especially when I'm paying $15 for a sandwich. I also had an online coupon I got to try this place out, they wouldn't accept it towards their normal daily specials and beer special (if $16 for a small pitcher is special). Never had this problem any place else.
Other - claims to be a sports bar. Canucks went into overtime. The bar manager decided it was a good time to mess around with the TV inputs, at first blocking out the game with menus, then shutting off half the TV's in the place. Why?
Needless to say, would not recommend, only points it gets are for the organic stuff on the menu. It just seems like a more expensive, less inviting place than the restaurant it replaced Migz.
