Build your own pasta & pizza

I enjoy going to east sides for the build your own pasta with unlimited soup or salad & garlic loaf. This is the usual choice of place for my friends and I to go too. The menu has tons of options to pick from if you're in the mood to change it up. Although the last time I was here the waiters were having arguments with each other that was quite uncomfortable to be so close too and kind of ruined the experience. It's definitely a good idea to call ahead to reserve a table because the wait can get busy especially on the weekends.

A friend and I met here for dinner. We waited about 20 minutes to be seated. My friend ordered the Amatriciana with no chicken and no bacon. I ordered the regular Amatriciana. Our waitress came with bread, but we had no knives and no plates. She then took our order, and we were supposed to get Caesar salad. Our salad took a long time to come out and was served to us in a very tiny portion, so the waitress offered to get us more. As we were eating it, our Amatriciana came out and my friend's had chicken and bacon in it, even though she asked for it not to. Our second salad came out and her new dinner at the same time. Our food was lacking sauce, so we had to order more. The only redeeming thing about this experience was that our waitress was extremely friendly and apologetic.

We went for lunch this afternoon and needless to say the experience wasn't the best. The waiter was very friendly and was always around to refill our drinks or offer more bread and salads. He did a good job. Unfortunately I cannot say the same for the food. I got the chicken parmigiana and it is not worth 18,99$. The pasta was ok. It was more raw then cooked and the chicken. Well let's just say the chicken was better to be tossed out then eaten. A lot of the chicken was very rubbery and seemed frozen at certain parts of the it. I thought the waiter was going to reduce some of the price. But he didn't. Would of been a kind gesture but there are worst things in the world to be upset about. My girlfriend had the pasta with muscles for 10$. She said it was ok adding that she wouldn't order it again or recommend it to someone else. The salad was ok. Typical ice berg style but it seems to have gotten smaller in portion size. Again. Not a big issue but worth mentioning. Would I recommend this location? No I would not.

Did an app platter. No dud's but some stars…read more The chicken fingers we agree are with the best in our lives. Crispy crispy outside and moist and tender inside. Even after sitting on platter as we ate slowly over 30 min... still excellent. If I were choosing one app this would be it. The shrimp were exceptionally good. I'd be glad to eat them all alone as an app... one of the best. Mozzarella sticks, onion rings, mini spring rolls, garlic cheese bread and potato skins were good. Would not be disappointed if I didn't taste everything else. But not great The wings are prepared very crispy with lots of batter, cooked right. But the "medium" sauce is quite mild and very sweet. Two big men left satisfied after sharing the platter as our meal so portions are good. 5 sauces were fun. Staff were very friendly. Just so busy. I think more customers than anticipated came in as usually they are very attentive. It is a typical roadhouse sport bar. We sat at the bar which was fine. Clean and decently lit.

The bartender is extremely rude and stuck up - The food is way less than to be desired…read more I've tried this location a few times and always end up feeling like it was a complete waste of money. I will not be going back. With so many restaurants available in that end of London I cannot believe that anyone would continue to go to this dive. So very rude, and the food is sub-par, at best. I can understand once, but I tried a few times (I am in the area often with friends) - Just stay away!

Recently this place was featured on Beard Meats Food, a YouTubing professional eater who travels…read morethe globe taking part in eating challenges at local restaurants. As we were planning to be in London (Ontario) anyhow we decided to stop in mainly out of curiosity. First and foremost this is a bar....the local 'watering hole'. Interior is a cross between dive bar and diner. In the early afternoon the bar was full of locals enjoying a beer. The menu is full of typical bar food, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken fingers, fish and chips, ribs etc. Hot dogs are the main event here with dozens of choices from the standard chili to ones topped with cereal and drizzled with maple syrup. Dogs are about the same size as a Costco dog but we did see a couple of locals order a foot long. They have a daily special and on Tuesday it's $2.00 tacos (choice of classic or pulled pork) or a slight up charge for the other choices (steak or chicken). Tacos come in soft or hard. What was ordered: 1 pulled pork taco and 1 classic taco 1 chili dog BBQ chicken quesadilla 1 poutine There are no combos. When you order a hot dog that is what you get. A hot dog. A side of fries or onion rings is extra. The verdict...it was okay. For food that is not complicated to make, our order took almost 30 minutes to arrive and it wasn't busy with food orders. When we ordered the $2.00 tacos we were told we also needed to order a drink to get the special. This is not printed on the ad. The quesadilla and chili dog were unremarkable. Poutine even more so. Service was good though. There was one server who also manned the bar. She seemed to know most of the locals and was very friendly.

Stopped in on a Thursday afternoon for lunch…read more Staff was friendly and welcoming. Music was perfect for a nice quiet lunch, a mix of older rock and country played at a volume that didn't drown out conversation. I had a hot dog with coleslaw and it was delicious. Fries were nothing special, likely from frozen. I would likely try a different side next time. Service was a touch slow, but the waitress was apologetic because they were changing over the soda, so that really can't be avoided. All in all I enjoyed it and would definitely eat here again.

The food was impeccable. Really delicious. Well cooked…read more But for 150 bucks per person, the person bringing out our meals shouldn't ask "who had this" every time they bring out a course. My entree should arrive with the side dish the menu claimed it came with. The server should know that it's supposed to come with those mushrooms, and not come up to me with the menu and ask me where it says it comes with mushrooms. I shouldn't have my food taken away to "keep it heated" while waiting for the side dish, and while my dinner companion gets her plate. I shouldn't have to flag down a waiter for water refills. This is fake fine dining. The prices are real fine dining, but the service and experience are sloppy casual. Very embarrassing for a Valentine's Day menu with extremely limited options to cause so many problems. Again: the food was great. No problems with the food. But train the staff if you want to charge me 150 bucks for a fine dining experience.

Burrata salad: Generous serving of creamy Burrata cheese with crispy pork belly bits and an amazing pesto sauce. Crab cakes: Crispy, well-seasoned crab cakes with fried goat cheese and greens. Tasty. Prawn tagliatelle: Delicious pasta with juicy prawns and a super rich cream sauce. Beef cheek: Melt in your mouth meat, generous portion. Chocolate semifreddo: Mmmm, rich slice of chocolate heaven that is a cross between ice cream and cake. Mini dessert trio: The raspberry tart was... tart... and yummy. The chocolate cream eclair was bursting with cream and delicious. I was not impressed with the mini lemon poppyseed muffin, which had a mushy texture and no lemon flavour. Overall, the meal was delicious down to the fresh bread and salted butter. Highly recommend!
