“ I recently spent an evening at Kings Tavern in Whitby, and it was one of the best pub experiences I’ve had in a long time. The vibe was relaxed but lively, with big screens playing the game and a good mix of music and conversation filling the air. Emily, our server, was absolutely phenomenal—friendly, attentive, and had a great sense of humor. You could tell she genuinely cared about making sure we were having a good time. She made spot-on menu recommendations, the ribs and wings special on Friday is a must-try! The food itself was great. I went with the wings and fries special, and my friend tried the fajitas—both came out hot, fresh, and full of flavour . The drinks were well made and reasonably priced, especially with their daily specials. Overall, Kings Tavern feels like a place you could come back to again and again—whether you're watching the Leafs, grabbing dinner with friends, or just dropping in for a pint. And if you’re lucky enough to be seated in Emily’s section, you’re in for a great night. Highly recommend! ”

“ Kings Tavern is a must-visit for anyone who loves great food and a warm, inviting atmosphere. From the moment you step in, the stylish interior decor and welcoming ambiance set the perfect tone for a fantastic dining experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. I tried the Atlantic Salmon and Jumbo Scallops, both of which were cooked to perfection—flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. If you're not in the mood for seafood, the menu offers a variety of options, including hearty main courses and light vegetarian dishes, so there’s something for everyone. I also enjoyed a refreshing mocktail, which complemented the meal wonderfully. Overall, this new gem is a food lover’s dream, offering an excellent menu, a cozy atmosphere, and top-notch service. Highly recommend! ”

“ This is the first time I had been to the Kings Tavern and what a great experience. The food was hot and delicious and the portions were generous. Our server Lauren was fantastic. From the moment we walked in the door, her smile and greeting made us feel very welcome. She was very attentive and really went above and beyond to make sure we had a positive experience. We will be back!! ”

“ First of all, the pricing is very friendly for the family for the good quality that you get. The atmosphere is great and the space is clean. I wish the plates were more hot to serve, but since it's a new place, I'll give the team a bit of flexibility on the cooking time coordination. Overall it was a great experience and I will come back! ”

“ Love this place. It's definitely a step up from your typical sports bar in terms of feel/atmosphere and quality and is a great place to meet friends or watch the game. The menu has something for everyone and includes vegetarian options. Their veggie burger is amazing! All of the staff have been lovely but Lauren in particular is a stand out. Super attentive, friendly and really makes you feel taken care of. Also, you won't be waiting long for your food. Service is quick! I recommend giving this place a try, it might become your new go to spot. ”

“ I was in the area with a friend and decided to stop by for lunch. Food was amazing! Very clean environment and the staff were super friendly. Highly recommend. ”

“ As monthly regulars, we can confidently say King's Tavern delivers one of the best dining experiences in Whitby. The menu shines with thoughtful creations like their exceptional Veggie Burger - the inspired combination of goat cheese, pickles and premium ingredients demonstrates the kitchen's creativity and care. Every dish we've tried reflects this same level of culinary attention. What truly elevates King's Tavern is their outstanding team. Lauren has served us many times and always delivers warm, professional service that makes us feel valued. The entire staff radiates genuine positivity, suggesting a healthy workplace culture we're proud to support. While the establishment already excels in food and service, adding a gender-neutral washroom would make it even more welcoming to all guests. That said, King's Tavern remains our top choice for its consistent quality, from the chefs' skillful preparations to the front-of-house team's excellent hospitality. Our sincere appreciation to everyone who makes this such a special spot - we'll continue to be regulars for good reason! ”

“ We had an awesome night at King’s Tavern in Whitby! The atmosphere was good and welcoming, the food was solid, and the drinks were on point—but what really made the experience stand out was our waitress, Emily. She was exceptional from start to finish: friendly, attentive, and genuinely went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of. You don’t always get service like that, and it made a big difference. We’ll definitely be coming back, and asking for Emily! ”
