| - I know I know... what am I doing in Mississauga?! Well my girlfriend lives in one of those glitzy new condo buildings that surround the colossal Square One shopping centre. And I discovered that Mississauga really is stuck in this interesting melange of suburban-urban with skyscrapers and condo buildings paired with restaurants such as Jack Astor's and a Wal-Mart. Bizarre to say the least, but yet an interesting progression in urban planning. Hurricane Hazel has constructed an interesting kingdom for her minions.
Anyways--to my actual review of this restaurant. I mean, it's a chain right?! Like it really shouldn't even be reviewed on a site like Yelp, right?! Well truthfully I really had a f-ing fabulous time last night at this outpost of the popular chain! I had a Steamwhistle beer (which they had on tap!!! amazing!!!). There are over 20 beers on tap! no more musty beer from a can for me! The cocktails were fabulous too like wowwowow loved them. So delicious, if not a little watered down. The 'jacked size,' or whatever clever term they assign to upsizing the quantity of alcohol, is worth it IMHO.
The food was great too--I highly recommend the 'sauced never frozen chicken fingers,' the battering is not too heavy, and the chicken is like melt in your mouth good. Now I know I'm talking about this place like a 5-star restaurant in Vieux-Montreal but actually you have to take this place for what it is and appreciate the drinks, and food for what they are. And they're great!
Our waitress Lisa was sosososo fun! she put up with our drunk asses after downing a few of those Jack-sized cocktails. She was prompt, and sweet, and attentive. Unlike that skanky cesspool of a place, Earls, over at the mall where the waitresses are fierce (and not in the gay good way). Lisa even emptied the ashtray a few times while we were smoking, not letting more than a few butts pile up. Class act! Earls told us to leave when one of us lit up near the patio!
Anyways: Mississauga you're not so bad. Jack Astor's you're so suburban chic!
