  Loved it. Had the spicy honey Chicken wings, the deep fried pickles and beer! Everything was delicious.

  The chicken wings were really good and the service was really, really good! We had their Cajun rub wings and honey garlic wings and both orders came out plump, juicy with a crispy batter to round out the perfect wings.
  
  What I loved about this place was their service which I have to tell you about. I arrived in Picton before my friends and chose this spot because it was 2 minutes from our Airbnb. After I ordered my drink, I got a text from my friends saying that had arrived at the B&B. I offered to leave my credit card to hold my drink and table with the bar tender- and she was super friendly and insisted that it wasn't necessary. I was surprised but I guess this is the small town service people rave about. After returning with my two friends 15 minutes later, not only was my bar seats reserved for me but the patio table that I was waiting for was also ready and waiting for me! We went out to the patio and they had a little reserved sign on the table. Often it's the simple and subtle things that make an evening a Great experience- thank you acoustic grill for the amazing service.

  The charming town of Picton may not be rife with options, but the Acoustic Grill is a solid casual spot to add to the itinerary when visiting Prince Edward County. With both an indoor bar and tables and an outdoor patio with seating, there are several options depending on the current weather. They also have a small stage set up inside with rotating musical acts. The beer and cider options vary, but what is nice is that they carry local selections like the latest from the nearby County Cider.
  
  As for the food, the bowl of popcorn is a simple buttered variety, but is a nice beginning to nosh on alongside a refreshing brew. As for the mains AKA "Headliners" I was a bit disappointed with the Acoustic Jam Burger, which came out a little cold. However, the chicken tenders tossed in honey garlic were outstanding. For either option, or any of the other Headliners, I would recommend upgrading to one of their premium salads or...a side of poutine. Not only do they have a traditional shoestring with cheese curds and gravy, but they also have a couple more unique offerings as well. Personally I really liked the "Bacon Cheeseburger Poutine" which included ground beef and bacon with melted cheddar and mozzarella on shoestring fries. Meanwhile my sister raved about the "Supreme Vegetarian Poutine" which actually used sweet potato fries topped with cheese curds, roasted corn, fresh tomato, red onion and a vegetarian gravy. You can get the poutines as a bowl by themselves, but honestly it is a pretty massive serving and we found the sides were just enough to satisfy without going overboard.
  
  Although reservations may make your life easier, you may get lucky and be able to snag a reservation without depending on the day. While The Acoustic Grill isn't a place I'd go out of my way for, when you are in the area, it is a nice place to grab a drink or a bite to eat.

  Service: 5/5
  Food: 4/5
  Environment: 4/5
  
  We passed by this place at night because of the live music and we decided to dine in at the place. The staff is friendly. All the tables are taken but it did not take us long to get a table.
  We came here around 9 and this place is lively. It is a young man singing that night.
  I ordered the "best cider in the world" and my husband ordered the pineapple IPA. Both cider and beer are pretty good. We ordered a sandwich with sweet potato fries. It tastes OK.
  Food: 4/5 for beer and cider, 3/5 for the sandwich
  
  Overall, I think this place is a nice place to hang out during the summer time. It has a nice patio and nice beer. I don't think I would come here specifically for the food. If you are in the town and want some food and beer, I recommend this place for the live music and beer.

  My husband and I were looking for a casual dinner on our first night in Prince Edward County, and the Acoustic Grill fit the bill.
  
  It was busy on a Tuesday night, and we didn't have reservations, but luckily a table had just opened up. I'd say that a table for two without reservations is doable, but any parties bigger than two should think about making reservations, even if it's a weeknight.
  
  I had the black bean burger and opted to upgrade the side to some shoestring poutine; my husband ordered the Cuban and also a side of poutine. The black bean burger was okay. The patty is definitely one of those patties you could buy in the grocery freezer section, rather than a house-made one. The Cuban seemed rather small, and not a true Cuban, since the sandwich wasn't pressed and grilled. But the poutine was pretty good. I love that they use vegetarian gravy, and that they heat the gravy enough so the cheese curds get melty.
  
  We were satisfied with our meal because we hadn't wanted anything fancy, and found the location convenient since it's tucked behind Picton's main drag, but wouldn't make this a destination dining spot in the future.
