I ordered from Bar one through skip. This Is my honest review of my food and it’s presentation. When I placed my order I bought two items, a poutine and salt and pepper wings. One thing this restaurant does well is that it is open for food delivery late and as someone who gets home at midnight some nights it’s nice to know I can order food from here. I possibly will try more for future nights I get drunk or high. Now as for the food. Upon delivery the presentation is circular salad style takeout containers. The size fit the wings, but the poutine felt as if it was only half full the pub did something well with separating the gravy from the curds and fries so they don’t get soggy. However I feel there could be a larger serving for what I payed, and there could be more gravy. The poutine was good though, there was a decent ratio of gravy to cheese and the fries where delicious and perfectly salty. I’d give this dish a 5.5/10. As for the chicken wings. There was a decent amount for the Price. I got salt and pepper but the lack of dip was a little disappointing. The wings themselves were decent. I’d give them a 7/10. They were fully cooked, and seasoned well. I wouldn’t mind a little more breading and a few the bones were shattered and they were hard to eat, as the bone shards where sharp and uncomfortable to eat. It’s clear that this restaurant uses a brand of frozen wings and either baked or fried. I would suggest switching brands to something a slightly higher quality. It would make the wings a lot better.
Overall my experience wasn’t terrible. I’d rate it 6.5/10. Just wish I got more with the poutine. The food tastes good, but over all there is room for major...
Read moreOrdered off of Skip the Dishes. My girlfriend and I had had a long day and we’re hoping to have skip the dishes arrive shortly after we got home. We ordered pot stickers, buffalo chicken sandwich and wings because I had a craving for wings. The food arrived in good time and it all looked delicious...
Unfortunately looks can be deceiving... the quality of the wings were poor. Don’t get me wrong, the flavour is delicious, which made it hurt all the more because I couldn’t actually finish eating the wings. The meat should fall off the bone, instead it was just falling apart.
The buffalo chicken sandwich was up next and I had high hopes of it being the redeeming dish of our meal. Unfortunately,once again I was disappointed.. the size of the chicken didn’t even cover the size of the bun. I must also add that the bun used felt like a bun bought from the dollar store. Overall the sandwich was like a very small piece of chicken between two sponges. Again, I’ll say that the flavour and cooks are not the problem.
Lastly the potstickers. I’ve see. Many people complain about the size of the potstickers. I had no problem with the size and I will say that I did enjoy them. However ten dollars for five small potstickers doesn’t feel like I’m getting what I’m paying for.
So overall, I’m giving 3 stars because I don’t think that the menu, cooks, or service have any problems. I think that what’s bringing down Bar One is a lack off quality ingredients and pricing that reflects the quality and portions of their dishes.
Oh, PS. The...
Read moreGreat food. Great prices. Always empty. Horrendous bar staff currently. She's extremely rude and lacks professionalism. I was staying at the hotel for 6 weeks while attending a training program. My first interaction was her pushing us out the door when we arrived half an hour before closing so she could go buy a pack of smokes nearby. Another evening, she stated she wanted to close early as they were having a slow evening. Every night is a slow night there. I ordered a drink that she messed up on but still had to pay for it. On numerous occasions, she would complain about her position being a minimum wage pay rate. She would complain about Dennys staff. I noticed some chicken wings on the floor by the bar and mentioned it to her. They were there 2 days later when I came back. I refuse to tip her when paying. I like the food so I keep...
