Lunch on Scugog

[smitty55]

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.

Thanks, I now know the restaurant.
I was planning on trying it with the wife one night but I'll pass now. It simply isn't "white tablecloth" enough to charge those prices, it's a fish camp restaurant.

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!

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.

Service was great and a nice restaurant setting.

That sounds more reasonable.

I was a little surprised actually, I believe the 8 oz restaurant made Bacon Cheeseburger, coleslaw and fries were $10 for a set down meal in a decent restaurant.

Although I spoke to a buddy yesterday that said he ordered fish there recently(daily market price for halibut)and it was expensive he thought, so........
