Just a heads up. If you're out fishing on Scugog, and you feel like lunch. Do not go into the G restaurant. 2 cheeseburgers/fries and a cerveza each, was 52.50 plus tip for lunch. Pack a ham sandwich. I couldn't believe it. Tight lines.

What no McDonald in Port Perry? I'm thinking its franchise time.
Jesus that's a crazy
HAH! They gotcha. That's one of the most over-priced joints in Port. We take coolers with sandwiches and pops or hit Timmie's.Quote:

Did you not read the menu firstQuote:

One of the things I really enjoy about going to the in-laws (western NY) is hitting their local eateries. The food is excellent there's lots of it and I've yet to get hosed by the price.Quote:

That's what I pay at the strip bar LOL. Are you not telling us something.
After looking at that menu I would have walked out.
Face it, people are getting lazier all the time and are willing to pay crazy prices for the convenience of having someone else prepare their food. I very seldom eat out any more with the ridiculous prices out there at restaurants and even more so what chip wagons want for poutine and other combos. I had heard some good reports about the poutine at a local chip truck so I decided to try it last Sunday. Ya it was good, but the small size at $5 was for a 10 oz container. Needless to say I was still plenty hungry after finishing that small portion. Specially seeing as for the most part the food I eat at home is way better. Now for sure there are some that provide quality food with good fresh meat but I'll be damned if I'm going to pay $7 or more for a burger or even $5 or more for a ready made salad out of the grocery store.
Cheers
Where is the G restaurant? Is that the full name? Don't want to go there by accident!
Didn't look at the menu, just ordered 2 cheeseburgers and 2 Cervezas . I never dreamt what I was getting!! I can't tell you the full name of the restaurant, but it's attached to a marina and trailerpark.
If your out on rice lake rhinos is open again in bewdley and has a great doc. Awesome wings and good prices
Thanks, I now know the restaurant.Quote:

I am planning on going to Port to meet someone for lunch and they picked the restaurant. I checked the menu online and their burgers are $13.99. I think it's the going rate in most sit downs. Add a couple of beers, tip and taxes and you're at $50. Crazy though!Quote:

Hard to compare places/service/prices but a friend and myself stopped for lunch in Bobcaygeon while riding motorcycles. Two huge 8 oz bacon cheeseburgers, with more fries than we could eat and coleslaw, two waters, two Sprite/7 Ups and coffee with tip was 35 with tip.Quote:
