| - I'll be honest, living right around the corner, puts the awkwardly named 'STOP B.B.Q. Chicken Inc.' way up at the top of my reasons for continued patronage list. That said, I can't help but want to keep going back, despite the average-good quality of the food they serve.
First off, the resto is a family business that just opened a few months ago, the entire place is run by a Portuguese family including great-aunts, aunts, daughters, and grandmothers all working together to operate their new business as new immigrants to Canada.
The food is pretty good, although sometimes- maybe because I don't go in peak hours- the meat can be a little dry, or the veggies a little mushy, regardless it is always tasty and hot. The portions are very hearty, and if you show up with your own tupperware they will fill it up for you, to save the Styrofoam garbage. I've been offered samples on more than one occasion, tasting various Portuguese dishes and desserts that I otherwise would never have.
Ideal for take out, not sure if they deliver, the seating available is sparse, and the ambiance is kinda lacking.
Finally, they have these new cards that give you a free meal after the first 9 meals purchased. When it comes to bang for your buck, this place can't be beat.
Oh yeah, they also offer desserts, and baked bread. If you're in the neighborhood, check it out and help a local business - and don't forget your tupperware!
