Ballers’ Bistro

I came here last Saturday with a group of 5 celebrating my birthday. We were 10 minutes late, but when we came we definitely had our money’s worth. My group really liked the Spinach dip, it was perfectly cheesy and crunchy with the fried pita bread. Kristiana served us and she was very helpful, polite, and knowledgeable about the menu.
Playing snookball was really fun, it was $ 70 and split between 5 of us, so it was suitable for us.
I’d definitely come back again, with a bigger party!
I hope Kristiana serves us again. Definitely made the experience more memorable.

Unilocal said it perfectly. My experience was meh. That’s the only way to describe it.
My girlfriend was having her birthday here but was only allowed to order a choice of 4 different apps since I guess it would be hard to take individual orders in the kind of setting they have. So 2 of my girlfriends and I decided to come earlier to order food and join the party after.
Service was horrible. We were seated and then waited forever for a server to the point where I had to ask one of the people working there, if we even had a server? 10 minutes later someone was assigned to our table. She was very friendly, so I give her that. The food took forever once again. Probably close to 30 minutes. I ordered the chicken wings, and my friends got the regular poutine and surf and turf poutine. My wings were supposed to be saucy but they were not saucy at all. My friend didn’t eat any of the steak in her surf and turf. She said it tasted weird, like it was a frozen steak. That’s exactly how I felt about my wings, like they were frozen wings. Even Pinty’s frozen wings were better than these. The food is definitely not something they excel in.
We didn’t play once we joined the party because we weren’t really interested. My gf that was having the birthday got one of the private rooms in the back. They should’ve really re-​thought the design because many glasses were being broken throughout the night. The balls were being kicked everywhere hitting glasses that were on the tables that lined the room. The room definitely does not hold a lot of people so the extra seating they have in the back was pretty convenient. I do not have plans to return at all. If I have to come for another party, I’ll make sure to eat ahead of time.

I came here for my friend and her sister in laws joint birthday party. There were a little over 20 of us including kids. They made the reservation in advance for us to play in two rooms and eat after. The kids took over the room and had a great time. I just watched but I think it’s a cool concept and I would bring my younger cousins here for an hour of fun.
The reason why I rated this place 2 stars is because of the food and service. I don’t know if it is because of the party size or this is how things are usually but I wouldn’t come back here for food or possibly anything. Considering this party was booked in advance i found it weird that they asked if we would be eating and didnt have the table prepared for 20 ppl. We also didnt have enough table space or seats and moved tables and got extra chairs ourselves. At 7:55 we were seated and it took forever for our waitress to take our order as she was assigned to too many people. It was unrealistic for her to handle such large parties by herself. I didn’t receive my entrée till 9:20 when almost everyone was done eating. There were about 2 ppl who received their food after me. Even though I was one of the first to order and the waitress said she punched my food in first. I did order an appetizer as well that came earlier but it still came after the majority of the party was served. We asked for water at the start of our meal and received it at the very end. It was just a baffling experience.
The food was mediocre. Some people complained of their meals being bland especially the steak. I found the calamari okay nothing memorable. I felt the same about the cajun Alfredo. The best part of my meal was my long Island ice tea. Probably one of the best I’ve ever had. They said that the late food would be comped but it wasn’t. the birthday girl ordered a medium rare steak and they gave her a dry medium well steak. She asked for medium rare and they brought out another dry steak. She didn’t eat it and they said «your first steak that you sent back was comped but the second steak was discounted». It was ridiculous that the birthday girl had to explain what was wrong from start to finish for them to offer to comp her meal and room (After they already said they would) I told him my meal came almost last and nothing was done.
In my honest opinion I’d rec coming here to play and eat somewhere else. However there are better overall experiences in the burbs. Funny enough, I’ve seen this place online and I’ve been asking/​telling ppl about it. I was planning to check this place out for a big family outing but this experience definitely changed my mind.
2 stars because I enjoyed my drink and the kids had fun.

Great concept, just not executed properly.
I had seen this idea online and thought that it would be a great double date idea. Unfortunately it turned out to be a terrible idea.
Pros:
— great idea of «snookerball»
Cons:
— value. For the price that you are paying, my group of 4 were barely able to finish 1 game. 5 minutes before the end of the game we were given our warning.
–Service. A majority of the waiters and waitresses were just standing around. Hovering around the bar eating and doing nothing. It was difficult to get our waitress to even help us out or place an order for food.
–I have never felt so in the way. At our 5 minute warning essentially the hostess lingered around our lane and waited for us to break and told us we had to leave. We still had 5 minutes left, but that didn’t matter. We still had food and drinks, but were told to hurry up and leave.
–Food. Terrible. You definitely do not get what you pay for. We ordered the nachos with beef. Order anything else off the menu. Save yourself the disappointment!

I have to say this was a little more fun than playing pool, and there was some team building happening when you involve your team mate in shot… but overall for $ 60 an hour for a field, that’s wayyyy too much for a wooden turf covered floor with painted soccer balls on top. I really wish the price was more comparable to a billiards place.
Want to come back, but can’t really justify spending for an hour of play, so probably won’t return.

Innovative concept and a fun game — we all enjoyed it. Seemed to be quite reasonably priced, as well (but that would be dictated by how many you split that cost up with). Also bias because we rented a private room, which seemed like a much better idea than a non-​private room simply from space that you get with it (again, opinion largely dependent upon size of group you’re with). Tables/​balls were less than well kept and perfectly constructed though, so a fix in that regard would improve the experience. All in all, a good time doing something different for a reasonable price (and I could see us doing it again).

A group of us decided to drop by last night for my birthday. It wasn’t very busy so we were able to reserve a pool «table» for the next hour. We were helped immediately when we were arrived so there was no waiting around.
While waiting for our reservation time we sat in the dining area. They offer a full menu and have a full bar. We didn’t try any of the food as we just arrived from dinner. A friend of mine ordered the poutine and she said it was good.
The soccer pool concept is different which makes it quite intriguing. It was very fun to play with a group for the 55 mins we got. We had 8 people playing and were able to fit in 3 full games. Be careful not to kick the balls too hard or else you might knock over someone’s drink or even break it.
I would definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re looking for something new to try.

Billiard meets football basically sums up Baller’s Bistro. Instead of using a pool stick, you use your foot and kick football-​sized pool balls.
They have a few ‘lounges’ of pool/​football tables. I came on Thursday 2pm with 8 work colleagues as part of a holiday event, and we booked one of those lounges (~$ 60).
It’s a fun idea in theory and has a novelty factor (#doitforthegram), but once you start playing, it does get pretty old fast.
I’d say it’s worth going with a group of friends just to give it a try, if you like billiard and/​or pool.
We didn’t order any food (kitchen was closed at the time anyway) so can’t comment on that.

Terrible. Terrible. Terrible.
Where do I start? We chose this place because it sounded fun; and at the time, it was new enough that there weren’t too many reviews online. To start off, the concept of snookball is a LOT less fun than it looks or sounds. The game can get pretty dull pretty fast; however, I am aware that this is a subjective opinion. Nonetheless, the snook «tables» themselves are not well constructed and balls tend to roll off in one direction or the other depending on where the table slants. The tables are also poorly placed in relation to the bar where you place your drinks or eat while playing. Inevitably, someone will kick a ball into the bar, knocking over your drinks. We saw this happen at our table at least twice; and at the other guests tables as well on more than one occasion.
The food at Baller’s Bistro is seriously below mediocre. We even had to send one item back to the kitchen. Anyone who thinks the food there is good probably doesn’t get out a lot. For starts, everything we ordered showed up at the table cold. The flat bread Margherita pizza was a sad, deeply underwhelming and bland little thing that tasted like someone put it together in their dorm room in a hurry. A tiny cold bowl of poutine will run you $ 7.00 and arrives with neither the «ample amounts of cheese curds» or the «rich gravy» as described in the menu. I have eaten better food at Cineplex.
Lastly the service is just horrible. The wait staff are slow and painfully inexperienced. And when the bill arrived, we were charged $ 68 + tax + gratuity for the table which is the VIP pricing with a private room. We did NOT have a private room that night (normal rate is $ 58 + tax) and when we pointed this out to the staff they casually informed up that the «rates had gone up». This was confusing because my friend had booked the room at the $ 58 rate (over the phone) quite sometime in advance. After we pointed out to the staff that even their website currently does not reflect any change in rates, they begrudgingly changed our bill back to the $ 58 rate. As for the gratuity on the room… I’m not so sure that that should be added on automatically. Not everyone continues to order food while at the tables; and even so, none of the wait staff actually wait on you anyways.
Someone asked me if it would be better to visit Baller’s Bistro after they’ve had some time to get their act together. I expect they will go out of business before they get the chance.

newly opened they have soccer balls to play snooker.
it was a little pricy for a place in Mississauga but it was good.
They were a little disorganized getting us our bills — we had to get a reprint 3 times. And after we
finished in the room, we were accused of not paying for it, so it was a little frustrating.
Overall a good experience — I give it ³⁄₅ stars because nothing about it «wowed» me to give it a perfect 5.
I like the idea and concept behind it, but like I said the price is a little steep for food/​drinks.
