Rotisserie BBQ Poutine

Review Summary

Rôtisseries Fusée receives mostly glowing feedback about the chicken, described as excellent and the best in town, often priced affordably and offering reliable delivery and friendly service. The dining experience is perceived as quiet and pleasant, with polite staff and occasional praise for quick takeout or in restaurant service. Several reviewers treat it as a Friday ritual, ordering weekly and enjoying consistent quality and a dependable routine. There are caveats, including a notably disappointing Shawinigan visit with a forgotten order, small portions, thick sauce, and undercooked fries, as well as a note that the poutine sauce can be too salty. A family friendly experience and good customer service are highlighted, with staff going the extra mile and promotions being offered; some patrons even mention a club sandwich made quickly by courteous workers. Overall, the sentiment favors Rôtisseries Fusée, with strong recommendations for the chicken and value, while acknowledging occasional hiccups and location specific issues.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Overall, Scores receives mixed feedback: service is consistently praised as friendly, courteous, attentive, and efficient, while the food quality varies from good to inconsistent. The salad bar is repeatedly highlighted as a strength, offering freshness and variety, but some reviews mention cleanliness issues or items not being replenished properly.

Celebratory gestures like cake for birthdays are appreciated, though there are frustrations such as a declined gift card due to a system update. In summary, Scores provides a friendly, service-forward experience, but there is noticeable inconsistency in food quality and occasional concerns about cleanliness and execution.View restaurant profile
