BOATHOUSE GRILL — Restaurant in Scugog

My family recently had a get together with around 11 people. We have ordered from Boathouse Grill in the past so decided to again this time around. We ordered the Pork soulaki dinner for 2 (comes with 6 skewers) and 2x the Chicken souvlaki dinner for 4 (comes with 12 skewers each). In total that would be 30 skewersl, which be plenty. Once we brought the food home and started to serve our guests, we noticed some very disappointing changes. The amount of meat skewers in each combo had decreased by 2 skewers, so instead of 30 we received 24. We also were not given salad dressing, which I know can happen. We looked up the menu again to see if we looked at an old menu or the wrong menu in general. We even called to let them know we got less than we thought and asked if the menu had changed. The lady who answered said they in fact DID change things BUT had not been able to change their menus yet (she said they've been trying to change it hut have had some difficulty). We were very upset about this. If things change and cannot be shown on a menu, the customer should know about this when calling to order. We now get less food for the same $$ and felt horrible when our guests were wanting more. The rice and potatoes were plentiful but we assume they just add more to replace the skewers that are no longer given. The food itself also was not as tasty. Very dry and overcooked meat, rice and potatoes lacked flavour, the pita was hard and very minimal salad for our guests. This was our go-to for get togethers in the past but we have seen a decline and with the high price for less food and lower quality, we will not be returning customers. If wondering, we spent around $260.00. We were not offered money back or anything for the menu...

As the warmer weather approaches, my heart only wants chip truck food. We stumbled across this while walking the path along the lake. We were not disappointed at all! There is plenty of seating, and a large menu. You are a hop, skip, and a jump away from the park and downtown Port Perry. We ordered the chicken burger combo, and the Hotdog combo. Both of us were happy with our food, only suggestion I would make is to have more salt on the fries. (I am also a huge lover of salt. So may just be me. haha) While you eat you can look over the water, watch the boats go by, and see the kids fishing. Really offers something for everyone here. We absolutely will be back!

(also, a reminder that they only accept...

They charged us for 3 single scoops of ice cream instead of a 3 scoop which ended up being over double the cost and there was no way to see this ahead of time because nothing is itemized on their POS terminal or receipt. They also got one of 3 flavours wrong. When trying to address the mistake in our order, the lady working there began yelling almost immediately and said “Take it or don’t I don’t care you already gave us the money, order better next time”. We left shortly thereafter, not wanting to cause a scene over ice cream.

The kawartha ice cream was good, but probably won’t be going back...
