The Famous Warehouse


A few weeks ago, I posted about dying to visit Tom & Jerry's because everything on the menu is $10.99 or less. At the Famous Warehouse, everything on the menu is $4.95! My friend mentioned the Famous Warehouse to me a few months ago but I never bothered because pubs are not really my thing. Lately however, I have been craving for burgers so why not? Plus.. $4.95! I read some reviews before visiting and most of them conclude to stay away from tacos, mac n' cheese and wings but the burgers are safe.

Most reviews mention that there can be up to a 30 minute wait for a table. My sister and I came around 5:00pm on a Monday and luckily there was no line up. When you enter there is a sign stating, "please wait to be seated." I find the sign kind of odd because quite a few people would be standing at the door for 15 minutes with no acknowledgement from the staff. The servers and bartender see customers waiting, and there are tables available but they simply do not acknowledge customers? No smile, no wave, no "hold on", basically nothing, you see them glancing at you... but nothing happens. After seeing most people wait 10-15 minutes, a server who previously saw you will finally come and speak with you. If it wasn't for my sister who told me to sit down, I have no idea how long I would've been standing there for. When our server came, she was very friendly.

Big River Restaurant


Have you ever ate somewhere and checked the reviews on the restaurant after? One sentence. BF says, "don't take Joey's, Cactus Club or Boston Pizza for granted, I asked if you wanted to go there."

I am not really the type to eat pub food and Big River Restaurant is probably the closest place to a pub I have been to all year. I was surprised the restaurant is well lit, spacious and empty (which I totally prefer!). The tables are greasy and kind of dirty but I assume it is a given for a pub.
