| - I really don't get this place. Tonight I tried it reluctantly after plans to visit a nearby restaurant fell through. Upon entering it seemed the place was unusually hot. I asked the guy behind the counter if the AC was broken: "no, it's just on low." Okay, strike number one then. I ordered the salmon burger-- at $12, not cheap for what is basically a fast food restaurant-- then looked around for somewhere to sit. Two patrons in the place, but not one of the many unoccupied tables was clean. Strike two. The food came and I asked for some hot sauce. "There's a charge for that" Strike three. The salmon burger itself was topped with mayo and chutney-- an unbalanced flavour, overly sweet. Finally I had to use the washroom to clean the greasy mayo residue from my hands: down a hall, through a storage area, through a second door into a back hall, down a flight of stairs, around another corner. Deep in the bowels of this basement you find the urine-reeking fly infested men's washroom. As I say, I don't get this place. For these prices, with no wait staff, you shouldn't have to put up with all this corner cutting. Toronto does not need another ubiquitous fast food chain serving terrible overpriced food in neglected ugly facilities; Pizza Pizza's got that ground covered.
