Tim Hortons — Restaurant in Grand Falls

The Tim Hortons chain was founded in 1964 in Hamilton, Ontario. The chain's focus on top quality, always-fresh product, value, great service and community leadership has allowed it to grow into the largest quick service restaurant chain in Canada specializing in always fresh coffee, baked goods and home-style lunches. The first Tim Hortons stores offered only two products - coffee and donuts. The selection of donuts to enjoy was highlighted by two original Tim Hortons creations, the Apple Fritter and the Dutchie. They became the most popular donut choices in the 60's, and remain two of the most popular today.” (Horton, 2008).

We waited about 5 or 6 minutes before asking if our drinks were ready and I think he had already forgotten. He gave me my London Fog and told us to have a good day, which is when we politely reminded him that we were still waiting on my husband's coffee. At 130 in the afternoon, their display case was also nearly empty. Got on the road, just to realise I had been given a large Earl Gray tea with milk, not a latte, and also missing the vanilla syrup. Disappointing...

We stopped here for lunch. The place seemed quite clean, and the staff was great.

If I'm to be honest, the soup was not good. I was hoping for good chicken soup. What I had reminded me of an upgraded Cup Of Soup. It was like reconstituted vegetables, and the chicken had a texture like pressed sawdust. I know some people may view it differently. But for me, I can't recommend it.
