If I were to look back on all the mistakes I've made in 2009, choosing to eat here would rank within the top 3.

Food - 1 - Terrible, just Terrible. I came here with my gf since we haven't been to a ABC for years. She had the Stir Fried Teriyaki and I had the Pot Roast Dinner. Now, if you ever wondered what garbage would taste like, order the Stir Fried Teriyaki. When it arrived, it looked like something dug out of a trash can, smelled like garbage, and when I tried a bite, it tasted like garbage. The entire meal was soaking in the oily sauce, it taste was just bad. The Pot Roast Dinner was infinitely better than the my gf's meal, but it was still far from good. The beef was more like beef jerky and the vegetables looked old and brown (not from the sauce). It was covered by a thick layer of gravy, and the thing tasted like gravy, nothing else.

Service - 1.5 - Service was mediocre at best. The servers were nice, but that was about it. For the longest time, we had extra cups and cream for coffee on our table and no one bothered to remove them. We had one quality check, and even after it was apparent that we had enough, no one came and asked us if we were done. Only after I had my Visa out did anyone come and ask how we were doing.

Value - 1.5 - The dishes looked big, that was about it. We did have an order of BBQ wings which came with 10 rather than the 8 other restaurants gave. But no matter how much they gave us on our plate, it doesn't matter if it wasn't edible.

Ambiance - 3 - I always liked the ambiance of the ABC Country Restaurant chain, which was why I found it strange we haven't gone back for so long. The restaurant is like any other ABC, very family oriented and very warm.

Overall - I will probably never go to another ABC restaurant again. The food is just terrible, and the service was not good enough. At the end of the meal, the only word we had to describe the meal was "terrible".

Stopped in on my way home from work. Fairly empty restaurant at approx 5:15 pm...should have been my first clue. Waitress was pleasant. I ordered the chicken schnitzel with vegetables and mashed potatoes. The schnitzel was obviously deep fried in oil that needed changing badly therefore the meat had a bitter taste and was dry. The vegetables were tiny cauliflower bits and carrots and were mushy and tasted leftover from 2-3 days ago and were starting to taste sour...ughh The mashed potatoes were ok and the tablespoon of gravy was not as advertised on the menu. When asked how things were, I told the waitress and she offered a free dessert which I smartly declined. She then took $2.02 off my bill to placate me....although the meal was more than 12.00. Benches have large rips on them, place is old and well worn. I won't be going back.

Food: we both had the dinner special which was steak, mushrooms, veggies, and mash potatoes for $13. we both asked for medium and mine was still red/pink in the middle but my b/f's was cooked all the way thru. steak was a little chewy but for that price...you can't complain.

Service: only 3 tables us included...and the other 2 were already on dessert/coffee when we arrived so we expected nothing less than what we got. server was polite, attentive, and food came out fairly quickly.

Ambiance: very casual and relaxing atmosphere. interiors are a little outdated but comfortable.

Overall: no complaints, if we out in this area again and are looking for some simple, home cooking this place will do. dont let the 2star rating fool you...i thought everything was "ok" but not as good as some places i've given 3stars+. we noticed that they offer breakfast menu as well so will give it a try in the nr future.

Cockney Kings closes early on Sunday, so I went to ABC by default. I had a bad experience at the Victoria location a while back, but this meal made up for it.

I had a Canadian burger and salad, and my wife had a classic burger and rings. The burgers were excellent, and the salad was fresh and crisp. The rings were big and tasty but a little overdone.

The service was good, and the servers seemed to know a lot of the regulars. Repeat customers are always a good sign!

The restaurant is clean and comfortable, and I had a good meal. Plus the soft drinks are bottomless, which is a nice bonus.

Recommended.

The food was great! I went here with my family and they have a fairly standard menu don't expect anything fancy. Every dish has that home cooked taste and feel to it. I recommend anyone with a family to go here. All of the servers were nice and polite. I will definately return to eat here again.
