Yellow Rose

This is THE place in Petrolia. They have a full bar and restaurant. Two pool tables and a couple vintage arcade games. The drinks are strong, the beer is tapped and it's always a good time. Considering the lack of competition, this place still does a fantastic job of trying to do the best they can for the community.

They do a much better job then they have to considering this is your only option for miles.  I have been there on two separate occasions and have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. Nicely prepared and delicious.  Used to be a hole in the wall but completely remodeled and much better now.

The only reason I give the Yellow Rose 5 stars is because I thoroughly enjoy hanging out there.  It is a fun bar, and it is family friendly generally.  My biggest issues are with the restaurant side of the bar.  I eat here several times a week, and I always seem to have some problem.  Overcooked, undercooked, everything on it I asked not to be, or I call in an order an hour before closing of kitchen, and it forgets to get put in.  This would not be as big an issue if there was somewhere else to get food close, or if I hadn't just driven an hour to get there.  I think that the food should be served later than it is, at least a limited menu after 9.  I do think that there are some of the nicest bartenders, although on busy nights, such as Friday or Saturday, there should be a second bartender at least between 9 and 1.  Okay, after all is said and done though, the place is classy, fun, and the food is actually pretty good most of the time, albeit a little pricey which tends to make me pickier on it being done right.
