I recently visited this location for the first time, & unfortunately, it did not live up to expectations. For a mid-range price point, the value proposition is simply not there.

?The Food

?Portion Sizes: There is noticeable'shrinkflation' occurring here. Paying approximately $23 per main dish feels excessive given the small serving sizes.

?Ingredient Quality: The quality of ingredients felt subpar. My'Greek Salad' arrived with only a single thin slice of feta cheese, & the desserts tasted noticeably cheap.

?The'Soup Tactic': The $3 chicken noodle soup felt like a budget filler rather than a quality'soup of the day,' a disappointing trend I've noticed lately.

?Service & Atmosphere

?Service: The service was lackluster; I had to repeat simple requests to our waiter multiple times before they were addressed.

?Environment: The atmosphere was quite cramped. Additionally, the smell of'free popcorn' permeated the entire room, leaving a heavy, greasy scent of butter throughout the meal.

?Final Verdict

?In this economy, everyone wants to ensure they are getting value for their hard-earned dollar. Based on the lack of quality control & the small portions, I cannot recommend this franchise. There are better options in the same price bracket that offer a much higher standard of food & service.

Went for supper on either Sunday or Monday of March break. The atmosphere was nice, & the waitress as well. The actual plate I ordered was great although the lentils soup I was served was cold... Not warm, cold. I let the waitress know & she was very nice, apologized & offered to replace it. I didn't take another soup but I wanted the staff to know so they wouldn't serve cold soup to other clients. Other then that it was honestly good & price was right.

My partner & I have been going to Barbie's regularly for a few years now. We live close by, the prices are affordable but what keeps us coming back is the service! We're regularly served by Rime, who always gives 110% service. She is charming, funny, but also takes her work seriously & gets us our orders in a very quick & efficient way, even when it's super busy! She even knows my order by heart that when I come in exhausted, I barely have to open my mouth because she knows what I came for!

We've also been previously served a lot by Simon, who, very similarly to Rime, is a very amazing & efficient waiter. We also love seeing Laura, one of the managers & Steve!

We enjoyed the souvalaki & chicken fingers. Outdoor patio seating.
The prices are good $17.50 or $35 for 2 entree meals.
Service was a bit slow, understandable since they were busy.
Server never offered to refill water or coffee & tea.

I ordered the ribs with delicious, crunchy fries & a side of coleslaw. My husband got the burger & loved the flavorful meat. He chose poutine as a side, which was also very tasty. The prices were reasonable, & they had some great deals. Service was friendly & efficient. Overall, a solid dining experience!

Haven't been there for years because the food quality had gone down so much but was pleasantly surprise when I went for lunch with colleagues. Took a greek salad with chicken. Was not bad nor excellent but gold enough. At least the greens were still crunchy & chicken was not all dry. Greek salad does not mean tomatoes & cucumbers with feta & olives. It was more of a garden sale with feta. Portion size for the price is most probably what would make me come back though. It was also not too crowded. Perfect for work lunch & convo.
