I know this place is a local favorite and is always busy, but I don't really understand why. We have given them a try a few times now and have always been disappointed. This last experience today has helped me make the decision to not go back, which is a shame because we love to support local.
As for our experiences, I'll mention the 2 most recent ones. Last week, I asked if they catered, like finger sandwiches...being that there is literally the phrase "and catering" in their title. The woman on the phone was very confused. I told her I was having a tea party and just wanted some finger sandwiches. She said she will do 6 sanwhiches cut up, egg salad and tuna. I said, perfect. I went to pick it up...it was almost $70, for thin plain white bread, canned tuna and egg salad. Also, my party was disappointed with them. They had no flavour, no salt, just bland and super basic. Not worth $70.
Now there's today. I ordered for pickup. I asked for a chicken greek wrap, tuna sandwhich and italian poutine. There was no chicken on my wrap, it was literally just an underwhelming greek salad with generic bottled dressing, not even tzatiziki. My husband did not like the italian poutine, it tasted like Lunchables pizza sauce.
The other part of my experience today was not just about the food. I had picked up a salad for my mother at the grocery store and forgot croutons. When I was picking up my order at spuds, I just simply asked if they happened to have a little side of croutons. The waitress looked horribly confused, checked my order bag and said "you didnt order a salad". I said...yes I know, but I got my mom a salad and forgot croutons, if you can't do it then thats fine.
She then went to go ask the kitchen. Another waitress came out and yelled "who ordered the croutons?" With a very confused and concerned look on her face. The place was packed with people. Then another waitress pointed at me and said "I think that girl". Then, all 3 waitresses proceeded to laugh at me. I really dont see what is so wild and hilarious about asking for croutons. I felt emberassed, and I have never felt that way anywhere, let alone at a restaurant.
Needless to say, we will not be...
Read moreI could say alot. But I walked in with my wife after being in hospital all night and wanting a good breakfast. She just got done a 12 hour shift. We have been to spuds before and ordered the breakfast special to go. The "early bird" but were told this time by a very rude wait staff that now that isn't served to go at the early bird price... but spoken in this way " nope can't give you the early bird to go its 12 dollars if you want it to go" . And then upon being startled by her rudeness we ordered whatever else we wanted instead. After my wife told the wait staff she wanted a mushroom omlette I proceeded to begin to order and the wait staff cut me off abruptly with no apology or logical interjection, and proceeded to attempt to take my wife's order. My wife was bewildered upon hearing this behaviour and was shocked at the waot staff cutting off a paying custome. I told them to keep the $34.00 I'd already paid and give the food already made if so to someone else. This is because we ordered. I went outside so as not to kake a scene and consulted my qife who agreed they need to be taught a lesson. The fact that I paid then let them keep it and left anyway was to emphasize the importance of making a point. Wnjoy rhe money... Its the last Dollar youll ever get from our family and our family's family. Enjoy and make use of that 34 bucks... and dont ask me for 5 bucks minimum tip on a 34 dollar bill for typing in an order and carrying 3 pounds for 3 seconds. Ill show up after work. Give the Cook a cash tip myself, and a real one.... find somewhere that can pay you better. It's not a small issue. Alot!!! Of service based industries have been ruder and ruder and care less yet get paid better than they ever have. And expect tips now for...
Read morerecently visited the Spud restaurant and had a chance to sample their menu. I ordered a cheeseburger and decided to upgrade it to the deluxe option, which offered a choice between soup or fries. After much deliberation, I decided to go with the rice soup, and I was not disappointed. The soup was flavorful and had the perfect balance of spices, and it was the perfect complement to the cheeseburger.
My friend, who is a vegetarian, had limited options to choose from, but he decided to go with the veg option. He ended up getting a French onion soup and a plate of fries, which were both delicious. Although the veg options were limited, we were both satisfied with our meals.
The prices at the Spud restaurant are reasonable and not too expensive. It's a great option for those who want to enjoy delicious food without breaking the bank. The restaurant's ambiance is cozy and welcoming, and the staff is friendly and attentive.
Overall, I had a great dining experience at the Spud restaurant. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal in a relaxed and friendly...
