The food, drinks, and conversation were wonderful and much needed! There's lots of seating. Many come here for special events, such as birthdays. There was a family at the back o the restaurant having a bash. There's also a side room that offers more privacy for such occasionings. The bar was pretty. The bartender was nice and funny. We felt like drinks and got the following: - Rum punch - Hibiscus paloma The rum punch had a generous amount of rum, with cubed fruit that felt like a bonus while enjoying this beverage. The pineapple wedge was awesome as a fruit lover. The hibiscus paloma was excellent. It's new on the menu and so refreshing on a hot summer day. Frankly, it went down too easily! The food was stellar! We ordered a bunch of dishes and shared them family-style. We consumed these dishes: - Chilli chicken poutine - Pepper shrimp - Chicken wings - Extra special fried rice - Sweet and sour chicken - Volcano chicken This eatery specializes in Caribbean Chinese food eats. It is also famous for its barbeque chicken. This place does chicken right. Everything was delicious. If I were to select a couple of favourites, they would be the chilli chicken poutine and pepper shrimp. This place does fusions and spicy heat extremely well. The chilli chicken poutine was awesome. It combined my love for chilli chicken that is tender, flavourful, with some heat, with crispy fries and cheese curds. So good! The pepper shrimp were amazing. The shrimp were fresh. I loved the light batter that was crispy and crunchy. I love chicken wings. They were meaty and crispy. I tried a couple of sauces. The dragon sauce had a good amount of spice. I don't know what the other sauce was, but it didn't have a kick. It was mild and yummy. The extra special fried rice was awesome. I loved the fried rice. It had the right balance of veggies, chicken and rice. There was a lot of it! It was then topped with more chicken. The skin was crispy and yummy. The chicken was plump and moist. I took some home because we had a lot of leftover food and this dish was so comforting. The sweet and sour chicken had the right tangy-sweet mix. It wasn't overly sweet. I loved the veggies .This place does chicken so well. The morsels of chicken were yummy all coated in the sauce. The volcano chicken was excellent. It's crispy, tender chicken coated in a spicy sauce that packed a lot of good flavour. I got to witness one of the chefs out on the grill, barbequing chicken. I brought home a barbeque chicken meal over fried rice, that came with mac and cheese, and potato salad. This meal was divine. The chicken was flavourful and tender. The meat effortlessly fell off the bone. The fried rice was perfect. I loved the potato salad that had peas in it. The mac and cheese cube had good flavour and al dente macaroni. The portions are massive. Leaving hungry can't be done! I had a fabulous time. I look forward to returning for more good eats and drinks with good company. (316)

It was like we got bottom of pot's crust. Jerk pork - the pork was tender and had a good grilled flavour Jerk chicken - more like a flavourful bbq chicken Cold slaw Ok. It was more of a mayo flavour. Overall, nothing special.

The jerk pork sandwich I could have passed on. The pork slices were way too big and chunky for the sandwich and the rum pie was good but I felt could use ice cream instead of whipped cream. You're never disappointed with tap water are you? LOL The restaurant was pretty dim. Didn't really give me a Caribbean Vibe aside from the colors. I probably wouldn't go again to be honest, but give it a try if you haven't before

The poutine was flavorful and the fires were so crispy. My FAVORITE item on the menu was the festivals with the curry chicken gravy, to die for. Do not leave without trying the festivals & the fried chicken!! Service - 10/10!! Our server was so sweet and knew her stuff, she was working by herself and we did not have to wait on anything. Ambiance - the restaurant is modern and extremely clean. They have a good amount of dine in seats available. Music was of course great as well. we will def be back!!

I decided to try Z Bar & Grille on Super Bowl Sunday! I wanted some bar food but, also something…read moredifferent. Z Bar offered bar food with a Carribean twist I ordered a pound of medium wings and a jerk pork poutine. I ordered my food from UberEats. The food arrived warm. The UberEats driver had to make two stops so I wonder if that impacted the food in any way? The jerk pork poutine was a decent portion. Lots of jerk pork. The flavor was great and fries were hand cut. The only issue was the jerk pork was a little on the dry side. The wings had good flavor, nice and sweet. It had a more barbeque sauce type taste. Unfortunately the wings were on the smaller side and could of been more crispy. I don't think I would get these again. While I did enjoy everything I ordered from Z Bad & Grille. They had a few hiccups with the dryness of the jerk pork and the crispiness of the wings. I think I would give it more of 3.3/5 it's to bad Yelp doesn't do decimals. It is better then a 3 outta 5 for sure.

We were warmly greeted upon entering and casually mentioned that we were celebrating a special occasion (a birthday). The food was as tasty as it was beautifully presented. There was a small hiccup with my order (I ordered the Khao Soi with shrimp and got chicken), but the staff were so kind to fix that for us. It was full of flavor with a mix of great textures. Sam had the green curry with chicken and ordered rice on the side. The rice was definitely needed as it added more texture to the extremely smooth and creamy soup. There was a nice amount of chicken and veggies, too. The Thai milk tea was made to perfection here. Not too sweet, beautiful color, incredible and addictive flavor. One glass was not nearly enough, lol. The staff surprised our birthday girl with a cute little dessert, and that small effort made our girl's day. We will definitely be back here again!

Most disgusting interaction ever literally. Ordered roti and wings 530. Tired to pick it up 610…read more Timing ain't the problem. Problem is I come in saying I ordered from skip and.,, blah blah blah. What order. There's no order. I show them Charlie's hurontario placed and paid. Blah blah blah. Saying finally acknowledgment of order but sayings its "completed". I'm like what that does mean? Did somebody pick it up? They're like yeah. I'm like no. I didn't pick it up. I doubt anybody else did. They go on about how I clicked. A button and completed it. I'm like no that didn't happen an doubt it's even possible. I'm a customer. Not a driver. I ordered, paid and here to pick it up simple. Then a customer gets in on the conversation. Meanwhile I'm clam the whole time. He goes absurd and crazy telling me relax. I'm like I'm relaxed. What did I do wrong? I order , paid , what's the status of my food? They continue to act ignorant and yell and try me to relax. I reiterated what did I do wrong? They finally agree and that I I'm in the right and my food will be in the way. Wow. Couldn't say that from the start? Without being verbally attacked and saying you're right and I'm wrong? So I wait no words. Drivers are coming and every interaction is negative. Literally. I waited patiently and my I'm comes in and like wtf? I'm like don't worry relax it is what it is. By this point I'm not even sure if they acknowledge that my food is coming. Even the clown who argued in the business behalf starts complaining about his order. Wow. Disgusting. Totally ignorant being verbally attacked by both the business and and a customer ignorantly. Dude. I was so close to calling the police and I've never done that before. So after more customers and drivers coming in and basically being told to eff off. I got. My food. An hour and ten minutes after being ordered on line. I grab my food and ask what did I do wrong? And they go off on me ignorantly and I explain didn't do anything wrong. All you did was wrong in exquisite detail. And guesss what this wasn't even the first time. Ugly ugly and worst worst business interaction of all time. Wooooooooooooooooooooow.
