| - I just came back from the B&F in Dollard Des Ormeaux. the menu consisted of 2 choices #1 deep fried #2 processed.
The home fries I suspect arrived to the back of the restaurant frozen and prepared in factory then were promptly dropped into a deep fryer, the potato pancakes were the frozen McCain ones from the local IGA. I suspect the sausages got deep fried too, if they weren't deep fried they had been sitting under a heat lamp, the sausage casings had peeled right off the sausage. But the part that describes this place up was the "waffles" the waffles were shockingly and impressively bad, I mean seriously who can screw up a waffle??? I saw the guy go into the freezer, peel the plastic off of the frozen waffle then stuff it into the waffle iron!!! I have never seen that before. it was like astronaut food. certainly not home cooked breakfast.
I think I could actually taste the profit margin in every bite, the best way to describe this place is "it legally qualifies as food" the is no care or skill or love put into anything on the plate. everything seemed designed with the highest level of optimization and ease of franchising. These qualities seem to paramount the quality of cuisine.
All of this was fine if I was at a truck stop in a rush, but when the bill came and it was 40$ for 2 people I almost fell out of the booth. they didn't even chop up their own potatoes!!! or prepare anything onsite
I hate not getting value for my money and this place was a complete rip off. Any gas station would give you the exact same breakfast for $8. I'm surprised with the amount of competition in this market space these guys are still around.
I read other reviews of bad service, my experience was great service, fast fresh coffee, but the food seemed like it came off the back of the red cross emergency relief bus.
I wish I could give this place 0 stars, I would recommend this place if you cant tell the difference between deep fried and fresh, or if maybe you just got out of prison and you miss the cooking "inside"
