Lots of easy parking. Excellent location. Just a couple minor notes with the food, nothing drastic...
Excellent staff, and the owners and staff are exceptionally friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome and ensure all that you would like is met. The main menu is tasty and well prepared. Meat is tender, and the vegetables are cooked properly. The salad bar, offers a wide selection, overall is excellent, and is offered at a lesser cost as a meal which I think is great, but would like to note too much dressing in the strawberry-spinach salad and potato salad. The last two times the soup was good, but am not sure it was prepared from scratch. The buns seemed like they came from packages from a store shelf. Not homemade or bakery made.
The fruit pies seemed to be made from the can and a tad too sweet...and the crust wasn't bad, but could use improvement.
There was no selection of gluten-free or at least wheat-free desserts, nor gluten-free or wheat-free buns or bread. Gluten-free/wheat-free desserts are extremely easy to make and no longer cost an arm and a leg to provide. (Also most gluten-free and wheat-free products offer some nutrition today.) Or, gluten-free/wheat-free desserts can be ordered wholesale from a bakery, like St. Anne's for instance.
All-in-all it is a great place to eat, and in today's market of exorbitant prices and little-to-no value for the costs...Chubby's is refreshing and an exception, and is excellent value for the money. Highly...
Read moreI am going to stay with 3 stars because this place is family owned, clean and friendly staff and the location is beautiful!...However the best way to describe the food is "a church supper type of fair" very bland, and very poor quality ingredients. A great place to take anyone over 65. Way too much stuff out of a can, even the pies where made with canned pie filling..so gross! You would expect homemade beets like gramma used to make, but nope beets and bean salad all store bought. I am a vegetarian and had enough to eat..we went for my parents for Mother's day as they enjoy this place (in their 70s). They did charge us $12.50 for a 18 month old which was very surpising when most places are free at that age. The food is nostagic ...it will remind you of what we had to eat at gramma's house in the 70s...I feel the resturant caters to the area its in and to 65 and over..which is cool...But for the younger crowd that is used to fresh ingredients, flavour and variety you will be very...
Read moreThis is a wonderful, old-style, home-style country buffet. The service is wonderful too. The buffet offers many many salads, with the old familiar 1970's Canadian picnic salads like 6-bean, macaroni, potato, marinated mushroom, ham & pasta, jello & marshmallow, beet, cottage cheese.... as well as Caesar, spinach and crab salads. You can start with soup of the day and a bread roll, fill up on salads, and then go on to the main course. There was roast beef and chicken, Brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes with gravy. I'm not much of a dessert person but the dessert table was full of at least six different pies! And they offered ice cream as well. The space seems perfect for a quiet table of two by the window or a huge gathering in the middle. In many ways, it's like going back to my childhood...
