Why The North Coal? The concept was created by the feeling of being away from city life with family and friends. For us, that’s Northern Ontario, but as lucky as we are to experience that way of life, not everyone is. Our mission is to provide that feeling regardless of your surroundings.

Located in the heart of Downtown Burlington, The North Coal is the perfect place for Summer Drinks, Family Dinners or just a place to kick back with your friends after a long week!

The North Coal offers a cozy cottage atmosphere with "fantastic" food and "amazing" service. Guests rave about the delicious menu items like the "Baffin Burger" and "Brussels sprouts" starter. The vibrant patio is a highlight, although service can sometimes be slow. An ideal spot for special celebrations and casual dining alike.

    Server was inexperienced and slow, definitely overwhelmed. food was mediocre, tasted like it was reheated in a microwave. The place is nice enough in an area of the city where the is huge demand for restaurants, I just can't understand why they can't provide competent service and a basic meal cooked even average. Very disappointing.

    This is my second visit and so far I can say enough about the delicious food and choices. My server, Emily, who served me on both occasions, was sweet, attentive and very professional. She also remembered us, which made the visit even more special. We plan on becoming regulars here....and will definitely also ask for Emily's section. To top it off the music was great.

    Amazing as always. My husband and I always pick TNC for date night because we love the food and the atmosphere. Tonight we had the Brussels sprouts to share, and then my husband had the 1/2 rack of ribs with fries and Coalslaw. I had the brisket burger on a pretzel bun with coal slaw. Both were delicious! Definitely recommend TNC!

    Food was great - black cod and steak frites with a shrimp app. Shrimp app was ok would try something else next time We were a table of two with a table of four right beside us - they split the booth up - the group of four was very load it was difficult to talk/hear so this expedited our departure unfortunately

    Service was fantastic, professional and thoughtful. The food was top notch…our issue is the old very dated wooden benches. Come on… let’s make everyone comfortable. These old straight backed wood benches are a very bad design element …and honestly there are loads of other comparable restaurant options with far better seating.
