KearneyCookhouse Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Kearney O'Neills has just had their liquor license approved to expand into the plus 60 extra seats off their already established smaller restaurant, pretty good pub menu, chef cooked. Closed tuesday and wednesday right now, will update if they open 7 days a week The Kearney Legion kitchen is rented out to the lady that has the chip truck out at Emsdale, Fork on the Trail Legion she calls it. Excellent pub food, hours are iffy. Bar, as usual is now back to being run by the Legion volunteers. Wing night is thurday and fish and chips friday. Both really inexpensive. The young ladies running the kitchen are not affiliated with the Legion and have no control over if there is bartending staff. Please remember to tip the ladies in the kitchen if you are not purchasing food, they have to keep the room clean and tidy and are responsible for the washrooms as well I believe. Edgewater and Suds on Main still going strong and the Red Canoe Restaurant at Edgewater has delicious pub food and they sell gas and have accomodations. Rise n Grill next to suds is open for early mornings until just after lunch, closed Mondays. Excellent breakfasts and coffee. no liquor license. WhiskeyJacks, also known as Silversands or Ms. T Grub hut are still all closed, no gas available. and of course, we are closed for the season. Kearney also has an LCBO, 2 general stores, a gas station (Fetterleys), post office and a Polaris dealership. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Thanks for the information. Many riders leave Parry sound, with Kearney as the destination. Your summary, including days for this and days for that, is very helpful. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KearneyCookhouse Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Rise n Grill closed their doors today (besides Suds on Main). the only place now open in Kearney for breakfast is Edgewater. There is now open an LCBO outlet in Emsdale at the Variety store at the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KearneyCookhouse Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 Ready set go, winter is here and the Kearney Legion updated their hours this morning. Food is now available 11 to 4 sunday to wednesday, 11 to 8 thursday and friday and 11 to 7 on Sundays. And if you didnt already know, the kitchen is rented out to a few young ladies who are not affiliated with the Legion's business other than to pay rent and keep their area tidy. They are the FIFTH group renting this kitchen in the past 4 years. Fifth. The membership room is for Legion members only, the main room is shared by both the restaurant and Legion. So please be kind to these young ladies, if your group is only purchasing from the bar, and not buying food and sitting in the main area these ladies take the financial hit. I believe they are also responsible for the maintenance and supplies for the washrooms in this area. If you are also only going in after you have unloaded your sleds and parked your vehicles for the day to use the bathrooms only, this also costs them money. Tip at the food counter, even if you have not purchased food, let them know you appreciate the Legion being open everyday of the week for food, drinks, wifi and bathrooms. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems like an un fair arrangement. The bar area should be chipping in too, since you need food to sell liquor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The law only requires light meals ie: microwaveable mac & cheese, wings, etc. along with sides like chips/ pickled eggs etc. which the legion bar probably offers for when the kitchen isn't open.

KearneyCookhouse Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 No not really fair, but this is a learning curve for the Legion now, and others like it. Legions are closing all over Canada mostly due to the older WW2 vets and wives passing or getting too old to handle volunteer work anymore. The Kearney Legion has a very small excellent volunteer base that actually comes in and bartends and does events, they dont have the volunteer base needed to keep a kitchen up and running as well. Todays volunteers are younger and most have full time jobs or young kids at home. Our Legion being on the snowmobile trail system in such an awesome part of Ontario is feast or famine for the kitchen. You can go from 10 people one saturday to 500 the next. No way for volunteers to properly stock microwave food or keep the kitchen up to health dept standards. This Legion keeps putting the kitchen out for tender and this winter there are 3 or 4 young ladies in there trying to make a living for themselves. The Legion gets a small amount of rent and the volunteers can put their hours available towards keeping repairs up and events going. The ladies in the kitchen have an excellent pub menu, I highly recommend the wings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake G Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Here's one of the food ladies and one of the Legion ladies. Very friendly. I envisage going here a little more often, now that the Sprucedale Hotel is closed and for sale.
