Chicken wings were tasteless for chicken but had a weird soapy taste that not even the sauce could cover up. Wings were reheated at least 2 times come frozen and to save money they only get the 1 kind. .....breaded. Fries are old limp with no taste. Breakfast sausage were cheapest you can imagine.... extra msg and salt So mushy. spring rolls were all batter there were no Vietnamese rice wrapped ones. Bread is that Texas thick cheap stuff. Absolutely no quality what so ever.......none. I gave 1 star because coffee was good. Just a dive eatery.

There is now a line up out the door inspire of the rain, and we've been waiting to pay for 11 minutes and counting. No check has arrived at the table thus far. This place is so understaffed it's annoying. Also, in spite of there only being 3 couples seated ahead of us, the hostess almost gave our table to someone further down the list by mistake. We, hungry and anxious to eat, caught her error before they gave our table away. These complaints may seem minor, but this is a franchise here- you expect more flow and more effort put in to your visit. The food isn't bad, but again a tiny bit more care would have made a dif. The server just dropped off the check and CC machine and left the table. Lucky we are self servers I guess.

Only restaurant I've ever ordered delivery where the food actually arrived hot and ready to eat I usually find that either the microwave and/or the air fryer need to spring into action. The seafood pasta is wonderful, and includes lobster tails, mussels, scallops, and shrimp. Chicago Steak Roasted beet salad - delicious, as are the curry goat rolls. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on Hardy John's menu. Highly recommended.

Got the frings with the wrap, the onion ring part was more just fried batter than onion ring. But overall decent experience.

Smashing good brunch?…read more Smash Kitchen has been on our list to visit for a while till we finally had the opportunity. For more than a dozen years, this Markham spot has been known for good flavors and portions. The weekend brunch menu from 10am - 2:45pm had an assortment of creative dishes. We opted for their LA mac & cheese ($25) with a saucy cheese blend textured by herb crumbles. The soft shell crab benedict ($24) looked irresistible with two nicely poached eggs beside crab drizzled with maple buffalo hot sauce. While it came with no sides, bites of the whole fried soft shell crab on brioche toast were scrumptious. The inside of this restaurant is cavernous, featuring even a private room and patio. It's much larger than the dated plaza entrance would indicate. Staff were generally active at the tables, even delivering colour sheets to young ones. Skip it or hit it? It was a long time coming but brunch here didn't disappoint. Hit it!

The bartender was friendly and knowledgeable, and when we moved to our table our server was also great. Cocktails were fabulous and the ambiance of the place is very nice. My wife ordered this vegetarian squash dish and she loved it. I ordered the steak and the cook was perfect but I found the sauce overpowering. It's personal preference, I like my steak with just salt and pepper without sauce. My fault for not reading the menu correctly. The sides of purée and veggies were great. Overall KB hits it out of the ballpark and is so much better than the chain upscale eateries.

Every dish I had was very good. For this meal I ordered something different, the shrimp stuffed catfish. Never had catfish so this dish was calling me. The sauce was very tasty and had a nice kick of heat to finish. Catfish was good and the shrimp stuffing was more like a meat ball texture and not really whole shrimp like I thought. Service was very good. Our waitress was chatty and was joking around with us which was fun. Ambiance is more on the rustic side almost had a saloon feel, partly because of the old building but it was quaint. There was plenty of free parking in the rear which was convenient. All in KB is a good option if you are looking for an above average restaurant in the east end.

My son devoured the entirety of his fish and chips, and it was a huge fillet. I had golden beer battered shrimp. The shrimp was plump and perfectly cooked. The batter is light and tasty. No honey mustard if that's what you like for your salad (fries for me). My son and husband really liked the Carolina gold sauce the kitchen recommended as an alternative. It's good and has a similar tang, just not for me. The ranch was solid. They have a limited beer and wine selection. We didn't notice they had a bar for mixed drinks until after the fact. The menu says they will offer local wines soon, which I like to see (and prefer to order) at local establishments. Service was excellent. The restaurant is bright and open with a subtle blue nautical theme. Comfortable booths. We'll be back.

Service is friendly and if you go there enough, the servers know what you like to drink and are ready for you when you get in. Loved their bourbon bacon burger too. It is a casual place and children are welcomed and it is handicapped accessible. Lovely little entry way, too.
