There was only one front of the house employee and the poor thing was on a walking boot so she was struggling to keep up. She ended up calling another employee in which helped move things along much better. We ordered flights of beers which took a long time (like 30+ minutes) but we weren't in a particular hurry and we saw she was overwhelmed. Also, our server very kindly came over and asked if she could get our table of 3 food order quickly so she could get it in before she put in the order for about 25 people at the other two tables. Our table ordered smoked wings, a cuban sandwich, and a harvest salad. They all came out fresh and everything tasted very good. We were a little disappointed that they no longer have the poutine but were told it just wasn't selling like it used to. Overall, it was a good meal and we will definitely return but we probably wouldn't stay in the future if we noticed only one person working front of house.

The restaurant is located in a strip mall area off of Stroop road. It's near the Vapor Haus vape shop and the Speedway gas station that sits at the corner of Stroop and Marshall Rd. If you pass that Speedway, you've gone too far. Inside, the restaurant has a typical sports bar vibe. It's well lit, clean but nothing spectacular. The menu does offer a variety of choices. Service is really good. We were seated fast and orders were taken shortly afterwards. I got the fish and chips. The deep fried fish was good but average in my opinion. The fries were tasty. It satisfied my hunger but it was just average to me. My girlfriend got the chili bowl with jalapeño cornbread. She liked it but again felt it was average fare. The portions are pretty big but bigger doesn't necessarily mean it's better. I will probably try again but I think the burgers are a better option than the fish and chips. There was a decent sized crowd here, so TJ Chumps is doing something right. I'd like to try some of their other menu choices. I recommend. The service is good and the wait crew enthusiastic.
