The Blue Canoe Brewery

My wife & I ate dinner here on 3÷5÷15. We eat here everytime we are in Titusville. It has always been good. I think they had more vegetarian choices this time. They also are willing & able to modify items. I had the veggie burger wrap with mixed vegetables (in place of French fries). Also had the French onion soup. Taste was excellent. Food preparation was on the slow side, but the wait was worth it.
The owner is also very good at supporting community organizations.

Absolutely amazing food, best Fish and chips the service is that of a 5 star restaurant. I will drive 8.5 hours just to share this experience with friends and family.

Very disappointing after reading all the good reviews. We were vacationing in PA and my husband had found this restaurant online before we had left home and the main reason he wanted to go here was for the twin pigs mac and cheese. It was no longer on the menu. Interesting because it was on their website a couple days before we visited. Now that we are home tried to look it up and now their website is down. I ordered the wild mushroom & chicken dish and I barely ate any of it which was thrown out later. It was like $ 13 and it was a bunch of mushrooms a ton of pasta a tiny amount of little chicken chunks just a little bigger than a pea. The chicken I believe was suppose to be pulled chicken and have bacon and I did not see any bacon. My husband got the BBQ pulled pork sandwich and wasn’t impressed with it. He did order a side of mac and cheese and said he liked that but that was it. Service was lacking and I feel was very overpriced over all. Mind you we understand menus change and that is not why our experience was disappointing.

My husband and I enjoyed our time here– sampling the beers and having a good dinner. We ordered the sampler paddle which allows you to try seven of the beers on draft (there were a total of eight on draft today). We both liked them and found a couple that we really, really liked. This brewery has avoided doing what so many other breweries do– which is make too many super hopped, extremely high alcohol content beers. The majority of the beers here were around or under 6%, which we like. The heavy keavy scotch ale, American pale ale, and oatmeal stout where very good brews. They also had a seasonal IPA flavored with hananeros– this had a slight burn in the aftertaste but was a good, inventive drink.
The food, was much better than your typical bar food. I ordered French onion soup which was out of this world. I also had the wild mushroom chicken which is a tasty dish served over pasta. My husband had the yogurt chicken pita dish with French fries (up charge if you want fries rather than chips). He really enjoyed his meal and the hummus that came with it.
I would say the service was fine, if not really friendly or fast. they probably could have used an extra employee or two behind the bar. All in all, this is a great spot in Titusville that we will absolutely be back to, and highly recommend.

Good food and beer, but the service needs work.
The house beers we tried were all very good. The food was also good, but our enthusiasm was dampened by the long wait. It was almost 90 minutes between being seated and being served. Another party arrived after us, was served, ate and left before we were served our food.
Additionally, we were never checked on or offered additional beverages during this time.
I understand it was a fairly busy night and the servers appeared to be constantly busy. However, there needs to be sufficient staff on hand to assure a reasonable experience for the patrons.

A must stop. Good beer, good food, and the service is exemplary. Always enjoy my visits to the Canoe. Cheers!

Who would of thunk that a little hicksville of a backwoods town like Titusville would have a fairly decent micro brewery and restaurant? I certainly wouldn’t have and though it’s no match compared to those of bigger cities, it’s a mind boggling amazement to have or find hereabouts.
I tried their 7 beer taster nicely presented in seven glasses glass on a numbered flatboard holder along with number key to the name and a small write up about each one you taste. Tasting each, reading the notes and discussing your comparisons with friends is indeed a really pleasant fun filled experience, though as one reviewer had noted, it may turn you into a beer snob.
I also had their special fried wonton filled with bean, a vegetable mixture, various Cajun spices and an andouille sausage; definitely Cajun spicy but tasty novel treat.
My service couldn’t have been better and I that the overall unhurried and relaxed atmosphere of the place gave it a certain charm all of its own. Certainly more amusing and entertaining than any other place I can think of in the immediate Titusville area.

8÷24÷2013 is the date We walked to this restaurant from our motel which was about ¾ miles from here. It was a nice walk on a warm Saturday after driving much of the day. Not much is open in Titusville in the evenings and this restaurant is the place to go to when hungry on a Saturday evening. It is a good-​sized brewery/​restaurant in downtown Titusville. Noisy and packed with customers, local and tourist, but mostly local, we thought the service was friendly and prices reasonable. The restaurant has two halves, one with the bar and the restaurant part. I ordered a Pale Ale Fish and Chips and it was good. The fish portion was large. My wife ordered a Russian Reuben and hers was good too. No complaints with the meal. The local brew — very, very good beer.

The food is great but the beer is better. Located in the small town of Titusville, PA the Blue Canoe Brewery is worth a stop for beer and a meal. The beer selection is wide enough for even for non regular beer drinker. I would suggest trying the sampler to find your favorite. Go ahead a share it with your buddies, you will want to find your favorite pints.
We had the Harvest Salad with smoked turkey done right at the restaurant along with home made red pepper vinaigrette.
It was great.
Bring your growlers for refills of your favorite beer and root beer for the kids.

This place turned me into a beer snob. Originally from Titusville, this is a much needed addition to the town. This is one of the only higher quality establishments in the area and pushes the town’s culinary taste. The menu has a variety of vegetarian friendly options and is focused on fresh, local ingredients. Pizzas are tops, French onion soup is a star, and I am always a fan of the nachos. This place has a great Cobb salad too.
The beer is the real star. There is great variety for any single establishment. There is something for everyone from the Titusville Gold Lagar to their Heavy Kevy Scotch ale. My personal favorites are their seasonals and their, sadly absent, Distorter Porter. Beer brewed with blueberry, raisin, sweet potato (not all in one), the beer is divine. I struggle to find better quality brew since moving to Pittsburgh. The live music during the weekends gives local talent a chance to strut their stuff.
The Blue Canoe also throws an awesome annual brew fest with great breweries from around the area. I highly recommend a trip during the Oil Festival for the Drake’s Folly Beer Festival. Tons of craft beer lining the streets in summer– fantastic.
My only real complaint is the service. The staff is either really great or abysmal. No in between. However, this place is a must see in Titusville.

I had the Russian Ruben with French onion soup and my wife had the French dip. Everything was great

If you like food and/​or beer and are going through or around Titusville, you must make a stop at the Blue Canoe. I’ve been to some of the most acclaimed breweries throughout the country and this small town gem matches up with many of them. And that is before you add the ridiculously affordable prices, friendly staff, and non-​existent crowds…
The food: I visited on St. Patrick’s Day and the menu was limited to corned beef sandwiches or pizzas and the buffet. I was disappointed after seeing the menu online, but with some reservation I decided on the buffet. Well, it was more than fantastic. The corned beef and cabbage melted in your mouth. I’m not a corned beef fan, but I may be if they all tasted like this one. The shepherd’s pie was rich, thick and delicious. The root soup was amazingly complex. The bangers and mash were perfect. I wasn’t a fan of the Irish Stew with lamb; it seemed fresh but it had somewhat of a burnt taste to it. Maybe it was just me.
The beer: I am a beer lover and have been to many breweries. Since two of the seasonal options were sold out, I went with the sampler paddle. The Heavy Kevy is a great Scottish Ale. The «I will break you» Russian Imperial Stout was tasty. The others were good session beers, except Joe’s Electric Bill. It just didn’t satisfy and fell flat. Overall, the beers were of high quality and flavor for a brewery of this size.
I have no reason to visit Titusville again, but I will just to revisit this establishment. I need to sample some of the more complex seasonal beers and the regular menu food items. Not many breweries deliver both great beer and food, but this one does. I couldn’t have been more satisfied.

Awesome hometown place. Always a good time with family & friends with great food & drinks. A staple for any T-​Vegas visit!

Had great steak. Titusville gold, is a great beer. Highly recommend, stopping there when in Titusville.

Stopped here on a day trip. Excellent food and awesome beer. We got a growler to go, so we’ll definitely have to come back and fill it again. A great find!

Excellent food and phenomenal brews.

Sometimes I am SO thankful for Unilocal,and this is one of those times. Passing through Titusville and was starving, so decided to get recommendations.
If I could give the Blue Canoe 6 or more stars, I would most definitely. We had the Sexiest Beer Ever, and I am not a beer drinker. Need I say more? It was wonderful – mild and flavorful.
We had hot crab dip with homemade chips-​sensational. My husband had the ribeye steak with smashed potatoes and fresh veggies. I had the Steak Diane – tips with mushrooms and onion over angel hair pasta in a mild gravy/​sauce. Fantastic. There was not one single thing that either of us would have changed.
The Blue Canoe is my new favorite restaurant. :)

they definitely had over-​the-​top beers with very non-​traditional brew methods. THeir Heath stout was amazing! The stout was brewed with over 20 lbs of Heath bars. It was a very balanced liquid candy bar. We had the beer sampler and none of the beers disappointed us. They also had the best shandy beer we have ever had. It had undertones of lemonade and strawberries.
The menu had a good variety of options and it looked like they were doing a lot more than was expected for a small town. All of their menu options could be made at least vegetarian. There were also a few vegan options and replacements which was nice. The atmosphere was amazing and you could tell that the people who worked there had a great interest in beer and loved working there.

A great find in a sleepy northwestern town! We dined here (four in our party) after riding the OC&T railroad earlier in the day, and we had heard good things about the Blue Canoe online; so we decided to give it a shot.
The weather was gorgeous on a mid-​October Saturday, so the restaurant was packed at around 7:30 when we got there;, but that hour-​long wait gave us just enough time to find a spot at the bar and try the homemade brew. My wife had a Flashlite, which was a pretty darn good light beer, I thought; and I had a Heavy Kevy Scotch Ale, which was wonderful (so good I had four of them over the course of the evening!), and complemented the grouper cakes perfectly. The cajun pasta was also excellent, but I had to take my wife’s word for it, as me and spicy foods are still amicably separated (it’s for the best, really). And our server, Nicole, was very attentive, very attractive, and just enough of a smart-​ass that my wife said it was okay for me to add the ‘very attractive’ part.
Overall, a wonderful dining and drinking experience in a great little town; and before any of you think I’m another one of those ‘food snobs’ that trolls around on the internet restaurant review sites, understand that I am not above wringing out my shirt if I dribble buffalo wing sauce down the front of myself, if it’s just that damn good.
