We were seated for Sunday brunch and we sat for at least 1/2 hour before we flagged down the hostess to bring us some beverages. we waited another 10 minutes with no drinks being brought to our table so we got up and left. We...were not the only table to leave as there were at least 4 other tables to get up and leave because of lack of service. Maybe they should try and pay their wait staff better and then they wouldn't ahve customers leaving. I will definately think long and hard before I decide to go there againMore

We used to love Chances but the last two times we went the service was so brutal it was as if we didn’t have anyone helping us. It took 20 minutes to initially be greeted, and each visit after took about 25 minutes. It wasn’t...busy. The Caesar’s tasted like vodka and water, when I asked for extra clam the server said “yeah I know our clam is gross” we still couldn’t drink them with the mod but of course paid for them. Nachos were half burnt and half soggy. We had to ask for cutlery, salsa that comes with the nachos, etc which is fine but couldn’t get anyone to come over for 20 minutes after food was delivered. It was just a bad experience and this was the same when we went 3 months ago. We sadly won’t be going back.More

The hostess and waitress' don't care about their jobs at all. Tonight our hostess just stood there, played on her phone and didn't do anything when I made a complaint about my cold tea. If a waitress isn't around, and it's not busy you should...take the initiative to fix the issue without getting someone else to handle it. If replacing a luke warm cup of tea is an issue for you then you shouldn't be in the restaurant business. You could just tell she didn't care.More

We go to chances a lot and, had an issue on Sunday lunch time and, the manager was the rudest lady and, her job has gone to her head and she needs to be put in her place!!! The shift supervisor was amazing and should...give some lesson to her manager!! I spoke to the servers and apparently she's horrible to work for and they all dislike her!! Like get rid of her she shouldn't be in customer service!!!!! Foods always great and so are the servers but, manager needs to go with her tattoos and attitude!!!!More

Love the menu they have. They have a "special" lunch menu as well that is reasonable and very good! Entertainment on weekend nights too, which is always great!

Enjoyed dinner here again. I’ve eaten here several times and the food is always great! I like the pork snitzel but the burgers are good as well. The menu offers lots of different food options and they also have local craft beer on tap.

We eat here fairly often. Food is usually very good. They need some new menu items. They used to have goos pizzas those are gone now. They have prime rib on Thursdays but you cannot order that any other night. A good atmosphere on the...weekend, usually with a band. Waitresses are good, service is good and they have great ceaser’s. we do enjoy going here, would like to see some new menu items.More

This is a very nice restaurant supper clean and well appointed, went there for Valentines day with the wife. We had the Stirfry and it came out very fast, nice presentation but lacked any flavour and we both found it to be very bland. We...also had an order of Mussels when they came to the table the Mussels on the top of the bowl were about the size of a dime as they were obviously microwaved to death, the mussels on the bottom of the bowl were as they should be large moist and very tasty. I recommend asking what food they don't microwave and order that. In any good kitchen or galley there are never microwaves. If I wanted microwaved food I can do that at home. Not happy with paying for it. P.S. our waitress Keri was very good and made us feel welcome.More

Ordered an appetizer once and it arrived at my table deep-fried, but still frozen in middle. Had kitchen re-make and though they weren't frozen anymore, it still wasn't warm in the middle, never mind hot! Eggs benny breakfast served on un-toasted, no-longer-warm-even, English muffins (Every....Time. Breakfast is a good price and I have been there a few times for it - order the hash instead.) Ketchup comes out in tiny dishes, not a bottle, so be prepared to ask for two. Busy for breakfast and prime rib night - arrive early or make reservations.More

Love it here! Good food and just a few of our favourites are the fish and chips, stuffed chicken, pork schnitzel and have enjoyed many other appies and meals. Waitresses are all good, friendly and Vince is super accommodating and friendly with all the patrons....Having the entertainment really adds to a great night out!More

Barside Lounge & Grill for dinner on a Saturday night with complimentary live entertainment (starting at 8PM). Flavor and tenderness of both the ribs and rib-eye steak were impressive and both served with fresh steamed vegetables and potatoes. Meals were reasonably priced. Good selection of...local wine and craft beer at a decent price. Atmosphere welcoming to those who are dressed very casual to those dressed up. Restaurant merges into the Chances Casino. Menu and entertainment listed online. I've also been to this restaurant several times for lunch and it consistently delivers a decent lunch for your dollar. You don't need to gamble to eat here.More

Not bad for 2 for 1. Good fries and coleslaw. Average size portions. In summary a decent place to go.
