J. Red & Co Food + Drink

They have live music on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays. The musicians sound awesome. The food and drinks are exceptional. It is definitely a hidden gem in brampton. You will not be disappointed.

This place is really quite nice and unique, I wish there were more restaurants like this. Not as casual as a Kelsey's but not as fancy as The Keg which is perfect. Read a lot of reviews that it can be super slow but we were a group of four and it was quite busy and it wasn't too slow at all, we were in and out within an hour and a half. I had a Pizza and two of my friends each had a Thai dish and another friend had the Chicken and Waffles. Pizza was okay, the thai dishes looked yummy but not overly authentic but that's to be expected and the Chicken and waffles looked UNREAL and my friend who had them loved it so I'd definitely try that next time.

We went yesterday with a large group which included three kids. The food was amazing. We had the pizza, chicken and waffles, lobster mac n cheese, and steak. My kids loved the chicken fingers and fries. Our server was so helpful and friendly, and he was so patient. We loved it.

The service was good and quick. Food came fairly fast. Caesars on Sunday were $5 and deliciously spicy. We had the chicken and waffles and the Thai fighter. The chicken was crispy and the Buffalo sauce was tasty (could be a bit spicier but I heard it was tweaked to accommodate others) - I know it's hard to get waffles super crispy, but I found them to be a little bit lukewarm - though the chicken was hot enough to give it a good balance. The Thai fighter was tasty, had a solid Thai coconut vibe with lots of good veggies. I think the chicken could've been seasoned a bit more, but overall it was a very solid dish. I'd be back for dinner, I want to try to gnocchi.

I would give this 4.5 if I could, because the service was on point, but the cuisine had a couple things it could improve.

Met our family here before venturing to northern Ontario. Server Chantal was very accommodating of our large party of nine. She was friendly and made some spot-on recommendations. We cautiously ordered the "cauliflower wings" on her advice, but they turned out to be absolutely delicious. Only thing keeping me from rating it 5/5 are the prices; they seem a bit high ($8.50 per craft beer, $20 for an appetizer). We had a great time despite the sticker shock at the conclusion of the evening.
