Brew House on the Grand

Hand-dusted wings carry the table at Brew House on the Grand, and the sauce list is built so a single round of orders can run across honey garlic, rum BBQ, Fire & Ice, garlic parmesan, Cajun, lemon pepper, and salt and pepper without anyone repeating. On Wednesdays the kitchen takes fifty percent off, and the wing-night order — wings for the table, a beer from the eighteen taps, a flatbread or a plate of BrewHouse Pot-Skins on the side — becomes the default Brew House move. The address sits on St. David Street South in downtown Fergus, in a building that has been doing some version of public-facing work since the middle of the nineteenth century, and the dining room opens onto the Grand River as soon as the weather agrees.

Past the wings, the menu reads as broad pub fare carried with enough specifics that a mixed group can stay on one list. The Smash Burger lands as a double patty with crispy onions, cheddar, chipotle aioli, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Fish & Chips arrives as beer-battered cod with fries, coleslaw, tartar, and lemon. BrewHouse BBQ Ribs and the Taco Trio cover the comfort-food middle, and Loaded Perogies — cheese perogies under melted cheese, bacon, green onions, and house-made cilantro crema — make the easiest pre-mains shareable. The vegetarian path runs through Bruschetta Flatbread, Spinach Dip, Cobb Salad, Daily Soup, and a Thai Coconut Curry with crispy tofu over rice. A Salmon Poke Bowl and a California Flatbread round out the wider end.
