Faloneys of Ancaster

Brutal. I walked in and no one greeted me to I just sat myself at the bar and waited… then waited more. Finally a cute bartender came over and welcomed me and I asked for a menu (it’s now 10 pm and waited for about 10 or so minutes to get to this point) and she tells me the bad news kitchen is closed. It’s been a long day and I’m starving but that’s fine kitchens gotta close at some point right?
As I put on my jacket a waitress walked by with piping hot chicken wings for the group of gentlemen behind me? So I continue to walk and there’s a group of girls that are sitting at a booth with menus getting ready to order? Hahaha I’m so confused maybe I needed the VIP pass to give them my money.
Here’s the kicker… So I’m sitting in my car typing this report and haha I can see servers through the windows bringing food to tables WOW.
If you own this joint and read this comment YUP that actually just happened Redonkoulous probably why they changed names?

What a disappointment. Went about 4 months back. I heard great things about this place, apparently a great chef. I live walking distance as do many of my friends. I cannot get my girlfriend to even consider coming back here. It would be a great location for a few friends to hang out. Unfortunately, the prices are high, the food is better at chain restaurants and wow, maybe they can consider hiring some staff that are fun to get along with and not dressed trashy… uniforms maybe.

Used to be a very high end restaurant. That didn’t work. Then they decided to become a bar-​be-​que joint. Also not working.
Went for dinner with a group.
Unanimous decision that the proteins were all overcooked (and not in the good low and slow bar-​be-​que way) and dry.
Sides were greasy and unappetizing.
Take a pass.

Had a fantastic lunch here yesterday!
The experience was christened with a prompt greeting, a quick drink order, and then a delivery of house-​made potato chips and sweet salsa. I’d never eaten at Faloney’s before, but I was already making plans to return just from the first five minutes of service.
I began with the New England-​style clam chowder: tasty, well-​portioned, and hot — not steam-​table hot, but fresh-​from-​a-​pot hot (or at least that’s what it seemed like to me). The garlic bread-​stick that accompanied the soup, however, was the only low-​point of my entire meal; it was tough and chewy — neither worth the effort nor the calories.
The pinnacle of the meal was the burger — a thing of beauty. I honestly can’t say I’ve ever tasted a tastier burger anywhere. It had to be 10 ounces of glorious, unadulterated, sublime meat between a fresh-​baked bun, with lettuce, tomato, mild onion (Vidalia maybe) and garlic mayo. The server brought mustard and ketchup to the table, but I’m telling you — adding any further condiments to the burger would simply deter from the experience of the perfectly seasoned and expertly grilled meat.
I had a green salad with the burger which was spot-​on, with a flavorful vinaigrette house dressing.
The entire meal, with a Pepsi, tax & tip totaled $ 25.00. Perhaps a bit pricey for the average lunch, but completely and utterly worth it.
I will definitely be back. Next time for dinner with the family.
