However, it says it comes with fries, so I wasn't aware I could have had two different sides instead. The waitress never explained that. I was told this as they were telling me that the first steak was overdone because they had so many orders at once, there were a total of 4 tables with people, including us. If they can't handle orders for four tables at once they shouldn't be in the business. We won't be going back, not the best Portuguese food out there.

Apart from the sickness, the food is atrocious! It is nothing like the Red Rooster locations on Major MacKenzie Drive. I've been to this location on several occassions and the food is always horrible, but I keep going back because I love the Major Mac restaurants and keep hoping I might get something that resembles the food at the other locations. Be aware. Not only is the food bad but so is the sanitary conditions.

At a summary, we ordered the grilled whole chicken, with rice & potatoes as sides, as well as grilled quarter dinner. Normally, I'm not a big fan of grilled chicken, especially the white meat as most often it's dry, but the chicken here were not only tender, but vastly flavorful. Yes, the white meat was a tad on the dry side but combined with the sauce & the saffron rice you barely noticed. The sides were amazing too, and boy was I glad I got rice (despite my asian tendencies to ALWAYS MAKE RICE AT HOME) the rice was extremely flavorful and did a great job to enhance the chicken in tandem, without over powering anything. The potatoes were also still slightly crispy and amazingly fluffy on the inside. The definition of a local gem!

The restaurant is now owned by new owners. The newer great reviews on Google are most likely FAKE…read more These are not customers who've appreciated this restaurant before the recent transition. What frustrates me is that businesses will go out of there way to post inaccurate reviews, for the benefit of themselves. Last time I was here I did not get what I expected. The meat was incredibly dry and over cooked. The potatoes were undercooked and bland. The rice seemed dry. Do yourself a favour. Coming from a Portuguese background, do NOT come here if you are expecting something authentic or even just good.

One word of advice. Check your receipt to see if you paid the correct amount…read more I noticed later that the online menu and the in restaurant screen said 15.99 whereas my receipt said 16.99. When I confronted the cashier about it, he said the computer said 16.99 and it's the most updated price. If the computer said 1000 dollars, am I supposed to pay 1000 dollars? The agreed contract price is 15.99 and that should be that. Later the cashier went to the back (assuming to talk to the manager/owner), and he gave me back a loonie (technically it should have been 1.13, but whatever). This place chose to use metal utensils instead of single use ones. The knife he gave me was quite disgustingly dirty (see pic). The food itself was decent. And for the amount of food, the price is very reasonable. I got the Raven Platter. My friend's fish platter was also decent, but looking at the texture and color, we couldn't tell if it was cooked thoroughly or not. We chose to keep eating and hope for the best. I finished most of my food, but I couldn't really comfortably eat all of the food, not knowing whether the plate or anything else they used was really clean to begin with. I'll come back and edit the review should anything happen :/ We probably should have brought up the price discrepancy issue AFTER we got our food. Needless to say, not gonna come back. Quality: 6/10. Service: 3/10. Value: 7/10. Overall: 3.5/10 (Not an average).

Fine, we switch from dine-in to takeout. After we paid, they said we had to wait 20-25 mins because full chicken isn't cooked yet. They wanted us to switch to half chicken. At this point we gave up, asked for refund and left. Should have flagged to customer if something isn't readily available before they order and pay!
