| - Reading these reviews about service, food and drink prices is actually comical.
I went here for the first time on a Monday night, and it was pretty legit...for 5 dollar meals that are decently portioned, I think its just down right silly to complain about how long it takes for food to come out, blah blah blah.
Service - Ya our service started off a bit slow and we did have to flag our waitress down on a couple occasions, which i personally hate doing (being a server/bartender myself) -- but once we started drinking more and she probably realized that we weren't cheap students or groups of people who drink water, she warmed up to us (and we got free shots on a shotski--completely out of nowhere but much appreciated). I can't help but sympathize with the servers here and can't imagine how much bullshit they put up with, especially when the food is so cheap. So we tipped her well, and our bill for 4 people was around $150, which may be a rarity there on a Monday.
People on here who have complained about not getting your water on time, or that you felt shafted --unfortunately when you work in an area dominated by students, you develop certain biases and come to expect a 2 dollar tip on 20, etc. So perhaps if you go against the stereotype, and tip more than 10%, you might get better service next time? I'm a student that goes to U of T too so I'm not bashing -- just that we are known for being cheap and demanding.
Also, anyone complaining about expensive drinks are definitely, definitely not considering the fact that a) they're not and b) how do you imagine in your narrow minded vision that the owners make profit? Cmon now, smarten up.
Any one who complains about this place needs to think about the bigger picture and stop being so goddamn selfish -- for 5 dollars a meal, I would treat the service staff with respect and TIP WELL --words to live by my fellow cheap ass students.
