| - What I'd give to have the old John Anderson's on Yonge Street back, with Vic and his great crew!
This particular location, on the border with Scarborough, is one of the last remnants of a once popular dining destination. It is small, has limited seating, and is mostly geared toward take-out orders.
I passed by one day, and having had so many great memories from my youth of the old location on Yonge Street, I decided to give it a try.
What a mistake!
Feeling extra hungry, I ordered a Banquet Burger with Fries, Onion Rings and a Coke. A simple order that not only took 15 minutes to complete but that they somehow got wrong.
After actually having paid for the meal (and while I was waiting for my order) the staff told me they made a mistake and had me pay extra for the bacon on the burger. Not sure how they messed up one of their signature dishes, but they did.
Trying to explain to them that they were the ones that bore the onus for their own mistake turned out to be fruitless. Apparently, they think that the customer should bear the brunt of their ineptitude. By this point, I was too hungry to continue arguing and paid for my order.
The food was nothing special and definitely not worth the price (even before their little "incompetence-surcharge").
It's quite sad how low this franchise has sunk since its heyday. This used to be my go-to place after a great night on the town. Now, it's nothing more than a two-bit, hole-in-the-wall that offers overpriced, sub-par food. Oh, and a big serving of incompetence - but be ready to pay for that last one.
Time to let this place go extinct. Good Riddance!
