Jenny’s Place

I ate here over a decade ago and don’t remember that visit very well.
Came back this week with coworkers for lunch. The restaurant has parking on either side of it, but both small lots were full. We saw someone come out, so waited for their spot, which is fine, but when we were leaving, a truck had parked in a spot behind us in such a way that we could barely squeeze our small car out of the spot. The restaurant was only about half full is the thing, so if it’s busy, I doubt there would be anywhere to park. I imagine Lady Hammond Road has parking on one side, but I’m not sure. There are many driveways along this stretch, so even if there is parking on the street, it wouldn’t be a ton of spaces.
Inside is your typical bar/​family restaurant atmosphere, kind of large in space. We were the only females there out of maybe 30 men and they all seem to be regulars who work in the area, although that’s just a guess. There’s a VLT room almost as soon as you come in the door, and apparently kareoke some nights, although I couldn’t quite see where the stage was.
Service was friendly and simple enough.
I ordered the western (mine without ham) and fries. Lots of egg on it and was satisfying, although nothing special, and you have to pay for cheese extra. The others in my party were fine with their various meals. One noted that she loved their fries & gravy, although the fries seem frozen, I guess it hit the spot for her.
If someone asked me to go back there, I would, but I’d never on my own as there aren’t really any vegetarian options for myself (I never expect much from pubs, but there was less than usual here).

I really like this place. It’s near my home, otherwise I never would have gone in as it doesn’t really catch your eye and is tucked away in the north end. If you aren’t living in this neighbourhood you may never know of it’s existence.
And that’s too bad — this place has really great wings and fairly priced drinks with some good specials. I love going here for wings with some friends — it’s a great level of noise and is the sort of atmosphere to sit around and catch up with people. The wings don’t have many sauce options — just the standard choices. However the size of the wings is awesome and they’re always well cooked.
Go check it out if you’ve never been. I personally hope they keep doing exactly what they’re doing — it’s nothing over the top or fancy but they have good prices and it’s the right kind of place to have a low key night with some friends.

Classy establishment in the North-​North End. Staff is really friendly here and prices on both beer and food are very good. Food quality is great and the menu has a decent selection. Don’t let this place fool you… It can be a great place to grab supper or party on a Saturday night.

To be honest, I would have never known this place existed except I know someone who works here. It wasn’t even that fact that brought us here, it was B’s search for pub food, specifically fried pepperoni. And it was on the menu so we stayed.
The atmosphere is a bit of a throw back to the 80’s tavern. We were there during the day and it was bright, clean and doesn’t smell of stale beer. Nice variety on the menu, pretty standard pub fare and breakfast/​brunch items. I like that the price on the menu includes tax, I wish more places did that. Once you realize tax is included, the prices are very reasonable.
We ordered the combo plate which had potato skins, fried pepperoni, chicken wings and I think onion rings. Plus we had an order of chicken wings. Everything arrived hot to the table and was fried to perfection. The beer was cold, service friendly. Can’t ask for much more than that.
Great neighbourhood pub, just wish it was in my neighbourhood.

Everytime we go the food is fantastic and the staff is very courteous. I usually get wings and beer but I’ve tried most of what they have on the menu and I gotta say I’m impressed. It is definitely worth trying if you’re looking for good pub food!

their breakfast is good, although the breakfast down the road at the lady hammond grill is a better deal. I’ve had their wings a few times and enjoyed them, though flavors are very limited. service is neither here nor there: efficient enough, but not exactly friendly.
3 stars for wings and beer that does the trick, but service that could be more welcoming.

I’ve lived down the street for over a year now and finally decided to try Jenny’s today for lunch. We popped in around 3pm and it wasn’t very busy, but there seemed to only be one woman working and she seemed very rushed. We had to ask twice for a refill on the water.
Food was your standard pub food at a good cost. $ 35 exactly for an appetizer, two meals, and two beers. Not bad.
I can’t say that I particularly enjoyed my meal, though. The roasted potatoes had a very rubbery texture and weren’t very warm, and the caesar salad consisted of white and yellow pieces of romaine lettuce. The scallops were good however, but were served with an old bottle of seafood sauce that was almost empty and smelled quite sour.

Years back, I had my first ever legal beer right here at Jenny’s Pub. Once a month or so ever since, I like to head back; it’s by far the best pub in the North End of Halifax.
Why do I like it? Well, the usual reasons really — the food is great (my favorite hamburger in the city, actually), staff are good at their jobs, the price is reasonable as can be. The only complaint I’ve got about the place is the parking lot, which is ridiculously tight even for folks (like me) with small cars. Not a big deal though, lots of on-​street parking to be found very close by.

I’ve visited Jenny’s numerous times over the last decade and have been impressed with the quality of the food about 95 percent of the time.
The inside of the restaurant is nothing special; however, they spent some money fixing up the bathrooms. I would warn people that plan on sitting in a booth that the windows are really thin, so you may have to keep your sweater on in the wintertime as you could get a cold chill.
On this night, I went to Jenny’s with my mother and cousin and decided on the pan fried haddock over the chicken fingers and fries. I still ended up getting fries with the haddock and salad, although you could receive rice if you wanted to.
The food was nice and the service on this day was good as well. In general, the pub is only half-​full during supper hour; however, they do get a good crowd on the weekends as various bands or karaōke takes place.
Overall, a good experience and I recommend you pop down on a Wednesday or Thursday night as the haddock is terrific and they have a good deal on the chicken wings.

Jennys happens to be right next to my office so I’ve been there a couple times lately. It’s not much on the inside, and I can’t speak of fantastic service, but the place is always clean, you’re served quickly and the food is fantastic!
We were there yesterday for a quick bite and had a great time. The hot turkey sandwich was delicious and, after sampling a friend’s plate, the pan fired haddock is top notch! The roasted potatoes were a little under-​cooked but other than that everything was hot and delicious. And CHEAP. My meal and drink came to $ 9.50.
I would definitely recommend Jennys for a a good lunch or pub style supper!

Went to this pub last night with some of my family members and friends, they had wing night and it was $ 5.50 a pount, so around 10 wings. Parking is only about 10 spots but we were able to find two that were open, walk in and theres really nothing to this place, it doesnt look bad but it doesnt look great either.
So we sit down and i notice that its not very busy and im thinking maybe the wings are not good or maybe because noone knows this place has a wing night… i know i didnt know till my brother told me it did and this is my first time here. Anyway, we were greeted in a timely fashion and we ordered drinks and then ordered our wings. Once the wings came they looked great and i took a bite and they tasted really good and everyone at the table seemed to like them, not alot of sauce selection but all the main ones are there. We also orderd a large nachos but those were ok at best and they looked like something you can make at home, they didnt taste bad but there was nothing to them, cheese, jalapenos, and tomatoes. thats it.
Overall though i really enjoyed the wings and i would go back for the service as well. Next time i will try other things to get a better overall experience of the place but so far so good! Go try them out!

Jenny’s Place has wonderful pub style food, and brunch is excellent!!! On special occasions Jenny’s is a great place to be, but on a regular night, not overly exciting. They need to start having entertainment on a regular basis. It IS my neighborhood watering hole, and is always comfortable to me, but they really need to liven it up and also cater to the younger crowd as well.

We were experiencing that, «I can’t move my head but need grease» type of morning! As we’re cruising around Halifax with our oversized sunglasses on ensuring no sun makes contact with our eyes we stumbled upon Jennys. We partially entered because we felt our blood shot eyes would be excused and we were absolutely desperate to soak up the remnants of last night.
Surprise! We both ordered Eggs Benedict and it was some kind of delicious. It was cooked to perfection, the hollandaise sauce was homemade, and they continuously filled up my coffee. It was bottomless and on that kind of morning was just what the Dr. ordered.
The service was half-​assed to be honest, and I felt that she was in the same boat as us so we gave pity instead of grief. The other clientèle were what seemed to be regulars; living the high life on the VLT’s or trying to find a cure for the night before.
It gets the job done.

Jenny’s is a staple bar in the North End of Halifax. It is a great time and great place to grab a bite.
On Saturday afternoons you can catch a band there or maybe there will be a celebration baseball team there. You never know who or what is going to be at Jenny’s, but it is a guaranteed great time.
They have a lot of fund raiser events there, it is really part of the community.
