CLUCK, GRUNT & LOW (and BOOOOOO!)

Cluck, Grunt & Low (Southern BBQ)

362 Bloor St. W.

Built on the location of two previous failed restaurants, Click Grunt & Low tries to offer Toronto a taste of the South. Nicely decorated southern interior is wasted with the slow service and mediocre food. Restaurant works on a quantity over quality basis. Kansas ribs are average, using sauce to hide the toughness of the meat. Potato salad has an abundant of onions and collard greens are bacon-less with an overwhelming amount of garlic. New Orleans dirty rice is blend and tasteless. Service clearly needs work as hour-long waiting time comes without an apology. Waitress misinforms about lack of cornbread as we watched the adjacent tables receive them, and late-comers experience faster service than early arrivals. Bar offers beer and wine at a reasonable price.

Atmosphere: 3 / 5
Service: 1 / 5
Food: 2 / 5
Price: Sandwiches at $10, BBQ dishes at $15

Overall: 2 / 5
Visit Again: No.
