| - I am not usually in the Pickering area, so when I was there on Tuesday, I decided to pick up dinner. I called in and ordered the BBQ Feast, which came out to $67 with tax, which is ok for 4. I was really excited to try it.
Walked in after 20 mins, it was empty (Tuesday 8 pm), which makes sense during Ramadan and the location. I paid, waited 5 mins, picked up my order. It was a large paper bag with 3 large take out containers and two small for the sides. Seems about right.
Drove 25 minutes home, opened the containers and I was missing the brisket and chicken. (!?!?!) The containers were half empty, so the brisket and chicken could have easily been packed in there. I am not at all impressed considering the staff were not at all busy and not packing about 50% for the order is unacceptable. Especially as a new business.
I called them and the person on the phone was courteous and took my name and number down so I can pick up the missing items next time I go. Which is nice - but I have NO idea when I will be there next.
The food... I've had my share of southern BBQ, so I'd like to think I know what I am talking about here..
Fries - Good. Nothing special
Beans - Fine, a little too sweet for my taste. But fine
Ribs - Good, tender. Got the wrong sauce. Ordered the OTB Hot sauce, but it was smothered in something sweet.
Chicken wings - Kinda dry... OTB hot sauce is good. A little mild for "hot sauce".
Brisket - no idea!
Roast chicken - no idea!
I'd love to go back and update this review. This place has the potential, but the staff definitely needs more training.
