Coach decided we should meet the team at a central location for drinks and food. Yonge & Eg was this central location and she picked this place. Besides the company, nothing was good about this visit.
1. The menu was overwhelming, it was a book! It's great to know that they have a large variety of food offerings, but I got tired after page 4.
2. It was understandably busy. It was Saturday evening afterall. There was about 30 minutes between getting our drink orders and food orders. While our food was served, our server was nowhere to be seen and we just ordered more drinks with a random server.
3. The eight of us ordered at the same time, however, my meal took an additional 15 minutes to arrive. It was a chicken sandwich with fries, so I'm not sure why that took so long and I was just sat at the table watching my friends eat.
4. My friend's soup had a hair in it. Maybe it was the kitchen, or the server with squaggly beard and hair. Who knows? They did replace it, so he joined me in watching the rest of our friends eat.
5. Food quality was mediocre. No one at my table thought their food was anything special. You know the feeling you get when stare at other tables being served food? Yeah, you definitely wouldn't get that here.
I'm always around Yonge/Eg and never went to Pickle Barrel until this visit. Now I never will again.
