Chicken in the Rough - Sarnia

We frequently visit this restaurant and find it hard to resist. The staff always seem happy to see us. The portion sizes are large enough for us to share. The service is friendly and efficient, and the beer selection is always good. The meat dishes are exceptionally tender.

I have been feeling let down recently. I used to frequent this restaurant regularly and feel that I should be receiving better treatment. I have only seen the owner working at the restaurant since 1999. The North End Restaurant needs to hire new staff. Additionally, I find the prices to be too high.

While I usually don't post bad reviews, I couldn't overlook them. Gizzards ordered. We have hearts, I don't like hearts. Said the waitress and her apology is they're coming to them. You have no choice what is in the bag of Gizzards what the customer gets. You will not destroy them in recent years, like the GIZZTen and you worthy. Then I noticed that my basket was looking dingy, so I gave a close inspection and what I found, but bits and bobs of other peoples meals in the basket weaving as well as when I lifted my wax paper down was a whole lot of someone else's seasonaling, so I would have to wash it on our waitress who apologises and said she will talk to the kitchen staff that they need to wash better. It has never been in the past... I'll think about going back long and hard.

We have been eating at this bar and grill for years and decided to try their take-out tonight. It was way better than we expected and putting it in a preheated oven for a few minutes while we tossed a salad and set the table...worked out really well. The chicken was still crispy on the outside and very tender and juicy on the inside. The shoestring fries were hot and I ate way more than I usually do when we eat at the restaurant. Go figure. For two of use we ordered: one half chicken dinner (includes roll, butter, honey, loads of fries) and one half chicken pieces (half a chicken quartered). We have left overs as well.

The chicken wings are fabulous Wednesday nights they have half-price chicken wings.
