this strip mall probably has two of the worst restaurants in all of ontario. paul wongs chinese (see my review) and Kathryn's.
My mom once again suggested this for lunch and i even mentioned wow it;s in the same strip plaza as paul wongs we had gone to for lunch many years ago that quite frankly was the worst chinese food i ever had. Could it get any worse. YES it can, Kathryn's is a diner (where the bar part in title comes from don't know, there isn't a bar per se to sit at). It's complete 80"s pastel decor, which would be ok if the place was clean and the food tolerable. Why do people buy a restaurant that was great based on food ( used to be greek owners who knew the food business) if they have no clue first of all how to run a restaurant and second no idea what the food they are cooking should taste like or even have a clue what it is.
The order:
fish and chips: frozen fish (asked waitress said it was fresh) captain high liner type of concoction with fries i think they cooked yesterday and saved them to re-fry. The fries tasted like fish, so that would say the oil in deep fryer was dirty.
Chicken Souvalki on pita with fries, this was the absolute worse meal i think I've had ever and ever. Rubbery chicken pieces on a stale pita with iceberg lettuce and a few slivers of tomato.
The poor waitress, (whom i tipped generously) was not in the dark about the quality of food she KNOWS it' s horrendous.
We spoke to the owner Sophie and she discounted our bill $5 even though we didn't eat merely a bite.
STAY away.
