| - Of the chain restaurants Kelsey's and Casey's are ones that to me are at the bottom of the list. They offer pretty standard items (chicken, ribs, wings, steak, burgers, fries), but it seems that they can't even get those right.
I ended up here with Ms. B & Dr. Blue Eyes for our annual Christmas gathering on Boxing Day. We naively thought we would stand a chance getting to Moxie's at the Scarborough Town Centre... on BOXING DAY. Yes, I suppose we're a bit crazy.
With the line backed up all the way from the 401 exit ramp to get onto Progress Road, we decided to avoid the mess that was the mall and since Baton Rouge (which was formerly the Old Scott House) is equally terrible and more expensive, we settled for Kelsey's.
They were operating with minimal staff with our one server mixing up drinks, and taking orders. However, there weren't many diners in at 2:30PM, so the service was quite swift.
We ordered calamari and a garden salad to start. The calamari was pretty good, though the dipping sauce was so thick that our calamari got stuck many times. It felt like pulling your favourite teddy bear out of the mud. Yeah... it was that thick.
For mains I ordered the Top Sirloin, grilled to a medium rare. Mine was more like medium well. The steak was dry, and chewy from being overcooked. I had asked for a side salad, but instead they brought me a side of mashed potatoes. My expectations of this place were so low I didn't bother sending it back or telling her she brought the wrong side.
My dining companions ordered the Balsamic Chicken (which she said was good) and a Chicken Burger with fries (the fries were soggy).
My cocktail, the Spiked Whiskey Lemonade was all soda and very little whiskey. It was gut-wrenching-ly sweet. I think she gave me a Cherry Soda Lemonade instead of a spiked whiskey lemonade. I thought I was drinking liquid sugar.
All in all, the bill came to $100 with tax and tip for our party of 3. That was with 2 alcoholic beverages, a coke, 3 mains, and 2 appetizers. Will I be coming back? Not unless its boxing day again and I can't get in to Moxie's or Milestones at the STC.
