Read moreWent to check out Thirsty Camel Orchards location last night (a Monday evening) around 9:00 pm to have a quick bite to eat on my way home as I had missed dinner. I walked in, and there was only one table in the restaurant that was occupied by a couple, however there were 3 couples sitting at the bar who sounded like they were having a fantastic evening. I did a quick scan and as far as I could see there was only one employee out front functioning as waitress/bartender. She appeared to be busy with the group at the bar so I wandered over to the VLTs and decided to play a few games and just order my food and drink from there. Well, I ended up winning a few jackpots so ended up playing VLTS for about 2 hours, and in that time nobody even once came over to take a drink order, take a food order , say “hi, can I get you anything?”- NOT ONCE. And the waitress knew I was there because I won multiple jackpots which were loud (machines with bells ringing) and resulted in some drunk cheering from a few patrons at the bar right where she was standing. It sounded like she knew the people sitting at the bar, perhaps they were friends- which is fine but you can not completely ignore other customers. It is normal protocol if you are playing VLTS in any establishment for someone to come over and take a drink order or see if you want anything to eat. I shouldn’t have to get up and leave a machine that has my money in it to go up to the bar and order my food or drinks. So because Thirsty Camel clearly didn’t want the money I was going to spend on food and drinks, I didn’t spend it there. After 2 hours of being ignored, while I was spending 300$ of my money in their VLTs I cashed in my tickets and walked out. And I won’t return either. Too bad the service is horrible because we live like 6 blocks away, it could have been a regular place to eat or hang out /play VLTs with friends from our neighborhood. I plan on ensuring all my neighbours and friends hear about my experience as well so they don’t waste their time either!...
Read moreSo I felt like I needed to thank the amazing people of Thirsty Camel by leaving a review. Without going into too many long winded details....
We needed catering for our child's 6th birthday party. It was a family affair (about 20-25 ppl of whom, 5 were kids.) I was sick of buying sandwich platters from the grocery store because my kid is a picky eater and wouldn't eat any leftovers so I was determined to buy foods she'd eat if there was going to be leftovers. She loves spring rolls and onion cakes but places like TNT Market and some caterers were asking a bit out of budget. I was then told on a community group that our local Thirsty Camel had those kind of finger foods and I somewhat reluctantly called to inquire. I'm so thankful I did! A tonne of food, great prices, amazing service and everything I could have asked for came with our pick up order of 4 platters (includes veggies, dips, onion rings, kettle chips, dry ribs, wings, spring rolls and onion cakes!) It turns out our guests loved the food SO much there weren't any leftovers 😆. Next year we plan to rent out a space at our local Residents Association so we can include some neighbors and some friends from my daughter's school in the invite and have 1 big party and you better believe if the food quality, amount and costs stay relatively comparable they will be our go to!
My only complaint - I think I've set the bar too high and now family says they can't wait for next year! 😆 Well done TC.
Special shout outs to: Justine, Jeff, Alyssa, Mel and everyone else I forgot to mention. You guys are really appreciated and we will be passing by with our little because she can't stop raving/craving about that...
