| - I was super excited to visit Queen Park Social! Before my birthday visit , I scoped the place out. It's very spacious with room for both small and large parties. I spoke to Ashley who was very helpful. She showed me the brunch and all day menu. Joe, one of the other managers, was also very helpful.
A glance at the brunch menu had me excited for my visit. Brunch and bowling? Sold! We arrived shortly before 1pm on Saturday. The left side of the joint was empty with a few people sprinkled around the bar. The bowling area was empty. We set up our party on the high top tables in that area. I walked in ready to order a couple of brunch dishes and a mimosa! I was disappointed to find that brunch menu wasn't being offered yet :(. It took me awhile to get over that blow.
Our waitress, Shay, was very apologetic and offered her suggestions from the lunch menu. We ordered the grilled lemon pepper wings, the fried chipotle wings, fried buffalo wings, sliders, shrimp quesadilla, cheese fries, guacamole and ranchero salsa. The lemon pepper wings were awesome! Flavorful and hot with a nice char. The chipotle wings were tasty too; just the right amount of spice. I was so impressed by the burger...it was cooked perfectly! I usually don't do seafood and cheese but this quesadilla broke all the rules. Now, about the drinks...I originally ordered the lemon basil margarita. I looooove fresh herbs in my cocktail and was excited to try this cocktail only because of the basil. I was disappointed when I received the cocktail sans basil :(. I then decided to order the Gekko...again no fresh herbs :(. So I went with a simple mule...vodka, ginger beer, lime..it was perfect! We overall had great service and a great experience at QP Social! I can't wait for the brunch menu! Here's a run down of the good and the needs improvement.
The good:
You can eat and drink in the bowling area
Tasty food
Lots of room
Good service
Kinks to work out:
Booking for parties
Keeping fresh ingredients on hand for cocktails
