Reviews for Scores reflect a divided experience, with many patrons praising the welcoming atmosphere, cleanliness, and the variety offered by the salad bar.

Although the restaurant is frequently cited as a great spot for families and friends due to its generous portions and value, experiences vary by location and visit, with some guests feeling that recent changes have impacted the overall quality compared to their past memories.
I arrived at 20h20 on Tuesday this week, we got a notice & a pressure to push us to leave closing lights, pushing us to order asap because kitchen is closing. We understand but at least tell us instead at the reception entrance. We would have not stayed knowing we were gonna get pushed . Salad bar soup was cold told us to get the salad bar before they remove it. I find it not sympathetic that we have the salad bar being closed in front of us. & charged for it we barely touched it. Chicken breast was microwaved, we didn't feel welcome. Never going back there extremely disappointed.
I normally don't leave bad reviews, but I felt like I should share our experience.
First, the service itself was nice. Our waitress was very kind, understanding, & did her best with the situation.
My grandmother asked for no mushrooms in her meal, but it still came with mushrooms. It wasn't a huge issue since she just removed them herself, & the waitress kindly offered to have it remade. Unfortunately, there also wasn't much lobster in the dish, especially compared to the amount of mushrooms that were included.
I originally wanted to try the new butterfly shrimp from the menu, but I was told they no longer had it available, which was disappointing. I ended up ordering the Santa Fe chicken with rice. The chicken itself was juicy & well cooked, but the rice was pretty flavourless. The peppers & onions were also cut into very large pieces & barely sautéed, still tasting fairly raw, so I had to cut them myself as well.
My husband ordered the chicken kabob with rice & fries & asked for BBQ sauce. When the meal arrived, it came with gravy instead. We had to ask about it before being told they had run out of BBQ sauce. He ended up trying buffalo sauce instead, but unfortunately neither sauce paired very well with the meal. He also found the fries lacked flavour.
We also overheard another table being told that a dessert they wanted was unavailable as well.
Unfortunately, a few hours later, our stomachs were pretty unhappy afterward too.
Overall, we really didn't enjoy our experience. For a meal that cost around $180 for 4 people, we expected much better quality, better communication about unavailable menu items, & more attention to the food preparation. The staff was friendly, but the overall experience was disappointing.
It isn't what it use to be, its the second time now that we go with family to scores & this time i opted for the ribs as last few times i went the chicken leg was so dry, so decided to go with the ribs, man those ribs were just as dry & even worse. I can't say that i enjoy it anymore. It isn't as busy as before so i think that they recook the leftover chicken or ribs from the day before as its impossible for a place like this to serve you over cooked food. Salad bar isn't any better anymore use to seem more fresh back in the days. i really use to enjoy this place, for me is like this place is going down. I should of taken a picture of my ribs as they look nothing like the picture on the website.

I really like their salad bar options-reasonably priced with a wide variety to choose from. Highly recommended to add this option with your meal. The waitress recommended the Portuguese-style roast chicken leg, which was tender & juicy, but I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't as spicy as mentioned. Salmon was okay but I prefer their roast chicken over salmon. Nonetheless, the service was quite good, & the staff were nice & efficient.
Clean restaurant & friendly staff! Went around 1PM, service was relatively quick for how busy it was. Their Maple Chicken & Ribs promotion is really delicious, didn't get to take a pic to share since I basically gobbled it. Got the pic for the dessert though! Really sweet & maple syrupy. I've been going ever since I was a kid, & I'm glad to see this restaurant still standing after so many years. EDIT, march 2024: Went there to eat after a ceremony with 11 people - they helped keep the cake overnight in their fridge. The staff was excellent, patient & quick with their service. Food was delicious & took advantage of Scores bringing back the salad bar with some selected meals on the menu.
We each ordered burgers, my wife ordered a spicy burger, & I ordered a Beyond burger. While the burger was tasty, it was a mess, with too many ingredients & sauce. It couldn't even be held properly without falling apart. I won't be ordering burgers again, but will stick with the chicken.
I went with my son who's autistic & asked for an isolated table, Chantal our waitress was very nice & empathetic. She was very helpful which made all the difference in our dining experience. Alex was great too & was able to accommodate our various requests with a smile. Food was great: nachos & chicken parmesan so delicious, only negative was the beef burger as it came very stiff, overcooked & burnt on the side. As a parent to an autistic child, it's very rare to find a restaurant were we can feel comfortable but Scores Chomedey made us feel that way, by having such great employees. Thank you Chantal, Alex & Scores for the pleasurable experience, we'll be back for sure.
