A Canadian institution, if ever there was one.
The chicken is still good, although most of the "diversify or die" options are pretty innocuous and the ribs are horribly overpriced [like all ribs, in all restaurants].
I remember eating at the first one opposite Varsity Stadium in the early 1970s. Of course the portions were twice as large back then, but what really stood out were the INSANE prices on the liquor and wine menu. I don't know who was running F&B back then, but their bottles of wine were literally half the price of other places and you could get a shot of Remy Martin VSOP for slightly over the cost you paid when you filled out those cheesy slips of paper with tiny pencils at the LCBO up on Dupont.
It was the cheapest place to tie one on in all of Toronto, if you didn't mind the blue rinse set [and they didn't mind you]. We'd get buzzed there and then go to the El Mocambo for the rest of the evening...happy days.
