| - Not terrible, but not great. It's Boston Pizza, which used to be a good place to eat around 1995-2005, but then it started going downhill. Portions got smaller, prices rose. Food quality started dropping. We have been to this Chinook location before, and we were on a rut so we didn't have another choice but to go to this restaurant, so we thought we'd give it another try. Seating was quick, waitress took our order quickly, and food came in about 20 minutes. Then we said a permanent goodbye to our waitress. The restaurant was about 30% full on a busy shopping day at a busy shopping centre at about 5:30 pm. Let that be a warning to you-- nobody else wants to eat here either. Anyway, we paid nearly $55 for two normal sized meals (salads, an entree, a kids meal, and two pops). Food was slightly low quality-- cooked vegetables were crunchy, spaghetti was cold, marinara sauce was flavourless, medium rare steak was rare, my wife had some fries that were basically the fry ends and mostly not actual long sticks of fries. Eventually I had to get up and find our waitress, who was hanging out at the front desk with about six other staff laughing loudly. They were having a great time, which contrasted sharply with the customers. They seemed put out that we didn't wait to pay at our table, but they didn't say anything rude. As I walked out, they said bye, but I didn't turn around, I just promised myself "never go to Boston Pjzza again". Too bad Boston Pizza, you were once a find place to go to eat! Now you feel like an overpriced, tired pub that just needs to start shuttering your doors.
