Very much recommend. My experience was great, I love the salad bar, we were starving and the food didn’t take long. It’s a spacious place and the patio is great in the summer.

July 3, 2024

Watered down ceasar, over priced ribs (mostly bones) salad bar was old fruit and wilted veggies. Soups were there all day. Couldn't be bothered to speak English there. They made fun of my French. What an awful place. $9 for noodles and butter for the kids. Scores use to be good 10 years ago. At this location it's gone so downhill you might think you were on a mountain. Don't ever go here.

I had never been to this Scores ... the food was delicious and fresh. The place was clean, and the service was polite, courteous, and answered all our questions. I'm looking forward to going back next week.

Of the three plates we ordered two were ridiculously under sized. The rockstar poutine (looked like an entree for 20$) and the fish and chips. The fish was laughingly small.

Really nice place to have lunch. Many options, mainly chicken but also salmon, salads. Fair prices. Waitresses were great both times I went there. Extremelly nice. Plates are big.

August 3, 2023

Horrible service. I went to the take out section and ordered a quarter chicken dinner and two drinks. I was later called up and given my bag. When I got back to my hotel, I found the two drinks and Cole slaw. No quarter chicken meal. Back in the car and return to Scores. When I get there, the server sees me coming and gets my meal, hands it to me, and tells me to have a nice day. Apparently, apologies are not part of the training. Now I'm back at my hotel only to grind I also was not given any utensils.

The food is delicious and staff is great, our waitress Vanessa took the time to make sure we had everything we needed and frequently came back for water and coffee refills. The service really stood out and although the food was delicious it was the service provided by her that makes us want to come back in the future and recommend this restaurant. Thank you!

While visiting Granby, thought we'd try out Scores restaurant since it was close to the hotel. A clean place with usual booths and tables. Menu isn't extensive but has typical fare for a chicken restaurant with chicken items and ribs and appetizers. We both had the hot chicken sandwich (each $13.95 if I recall) - one with side of fries and one with side of grilled vegetables. The grilled vegetables were a nice change but a little too oily. The sandwiches were nicely thick with generous amounts of chicken. Peas on top and gravy inside and on top. Gravy is a safe tasting one that won't offend anyone. We each also paid extra for the side of salad bar which was $6.95 apiece. It had a variety of dressings and green salad mixes, vegetables and fruits and egg salad, macaroni salad, etc. as well as two soup choices (chicken noodle and pea). This is meatless salad bar. Everything including the service was good overall but nothing was outstanding.  Plenty of free parking.

Im a long-time customer and its really not so good since the change of owners a few months ago. The bathroom was dirty, the utensils too. I asked for Coke and received iced tea. The waitress ended up bringing a bottle of ketchup which was all dirty. At my request, she brought another one, which was also dirty and sticky. The price is high, its not like before, its not worth it. Now Im going to go somewhere else.

Our dinner was very good (we had the salad bar as a meal ) a big thank you to our waitress Stephanie for her professionalism which in my case was excellent compared to her colleagues who sang and spoke loudly, not to mention the clothing of some of the this one... even if there were still a few customers present (December 7, 2024 around 8 p.m.)

Good food, good prices, the staff is so pleasant, attentive and smiling! Highly recommend for real Vegetarian options: Relatively many veggie options, not vegan but definitely veggie. The salad bar is really big and theres a lot of variety. There are also several meatless starters! Kid-friendliness: Children are clearly welcome and appreciated at this place, there were several families with little ones and it was a lovely atmosphere!

Its been a long time since weve been there. Before we liked it. This time it was different. The young girl at reception (if you call that welcome) wasnt very welcoming lets say. She installed us (pitch? Installed is a big word) at a table. I asked if a bench was free by pointing to one (several benches were available) she told me no, it wasnt free and left without saying anything. I actually thought she was going to check but she never came back. A couple arrives and she places them in the seat. No one comes to see us. She passes by and I ask her if we can have a bench and why they were able to sit there. She quickly tells me a section story and I point to another bench and tell me that it s correct. I understand the idea of sections but she could have said it from the start and offered us an alternative. We change places. Although the service was endless (and it wasnt crowded) our server was very friendly and smiling. I want to emphasize this. The atmosphere in the restaurant looks like a cafeteria, no music, just the sound of utensils. The food...the salad bar had some stuff that tasted rancid, Im sure it was old stock. Same for the rice on my plate which was still crunchy, and the small fried onions as a garnish which tasted like rancid. The chicken was good though and juicy. Im really not a difficult customer but if it were me I would want to know about these things.

September 22, 2024

First and last time. 30 minutes of waiting before someone came to see us. Another 30min to get our drinks, but still no water. And beer before the childrens juices. Other tables arrived after us and were distributed before us, despite a group of the same size. After an hour and a half of waiting, asking our server several times, we finally managed to get the childrens plates. It was so long that my nephew was on the verge of tears from fatigue, hunger, etc. I am the manager of a restaurant in Granby, and it is frankly unacceptable such slow service, without questions to see if everything is okay etc. We could have at least been informed of the progress of our plates, something. The server surely did his best, but the entire team didnt seem in control of the evening. Worst experience ever.

The day we visited this restaurant, we went without knowing what awaited us. We looked for a place to eat that was closer to where we were. It was a pleasant experience, we ordered grilled spare ribs, one with sauces and the other without sauces (I attach the photos). While we waited for our order (which was made very quickly), we enjoyed the buffet. We started with one of the soups, of the 3 existing qualities, in addition to the diversity of side dishes, vegetables, salads, pasta, etc., there is a lot of fresh fruit. The service was 5*, staff were very friendly, approachable and playful with the children. It should be noted that we were 5 people (3 adults and 2 children) and we only paid 89$can. (We dont drink juices or wines, we only drink the water they offer in the restaurant).

The food was good and the service was very good. On the other hand, the glass of water that I received... I drank it all before realizing that there was soft white food, like a paste, sticking to the inside. Disgusting. The waitress didnt say anything except... oh yes its true that its dirty, disgusting! no apology or compensation. I still ingested someone elses leftover food... Edit: I followed up by email below and had to follow up with them to get a response. Very flat response. I will not return!

My grandmother went to pick it up today for her and her friends, she asked as usual for mashed potatoes instead of fries, once the meal arrived they made her pay with additional fees for each meal for that she didnt take frit. She was never informed of the new fees and when she mentioned it, she responded stupidly Well, its been written on the internet for almost 2 months, she doesnt have internet. Poor service

Bad service, we had to ask for coffee creamers and spoons because they werent brought either. Did not receive the glass of water without ice, requested it...received with ice. Bring everyones orders...except one and I ask her to go get it because she had forgotten it. In short...disappointed with the service above all but the food was ok nothing more. Im not usually the type to give criticism. :/

General Tao Poutine tastes good but made with McDonalds fries, it doesnt do the job, the cheese cant melt, overcooked chicken. Chicken Parmigiano with pasta whose sauce is terribly lacking and also disgorges a large quantity of water. The waitress informed me and said Ah, it shouldnt be like that nothing more, no replacement, no reduction on a failed dish (see overcooked/slightly charred gratin). Next time Ill take the thigh, I wont go wrong with that.

We went there quite often before covid and even during, where the service was at the tables only, yesterday we went back, my husband had the steak at the Score, really disappointing, $27 a few mushrooms on it almost dry, a thin steak of 1/2 inch a chance 8 ounces or so, he asked for a med/rare doneness received more of a med/well done! Difficult to return the steak is not our style however not sure that we will return and I will notify those around me! Prices have increased too much on the back of covid, we often go to restaurants, they have increased their prices but never this much, and the food is much better at very good prices, at Score it exceeds the limit and at least if the food was worth the cost but nope! I noticed that this restaurant was almost empty and I understand why! Plus the salad bar at $17.95 ouffff I know everything is expensive now but this is exaggerated and compared to other restaurants, even on Sunday there are a lot more people elsewhere...Fortunately the service was impeccable!

Strange experience... Following a family meal, one of our children started coughing as if she was choking, at the same time, another lady on a table near us also started choking. A few seconds later, all of our children do the same and realize that it might have been exaggerated. I intervene but my throat starts to irritate me and I also start coughing. We decide to leave the restaurant. A few members of staff also seem to have been affected but no one seemed shocked by the situation and no one saw fit to reassure us about the origin of this irritant in the ventilation. Funny adon, it was 8:56 p.m....we would like an explanation of what happened. THANKS

***Strange situation*** We were a group of 4 adults and 4 children. We had eaten well and were finishing paying when everyone at our table started coughing uncontrollably. At the other only occupied table in our section, the woman had already been coughing for a while. The employees did not seem to know what to do and did not help anyone. So we all hurried out of the restaurant. Immediately outside, no one coughed anymore. The woman who was sitting at the other table came out and vomited... The employees didnt come to see if everyone was ok. No one apologized for the situation. After getting some fresh air and making sure everyone was okay, we left. We are trying to understand what happened. If we have any precautions to take regarding the substance we have been exposed to.

They have a good menu variety... We were 7 people. Including 3 kids. We waited AN HOUR for our meal. All meals were mediocre at best - piri piri chicken was only very good meal.

A Sunday evening that I will remember but not for the right reasons. Dry ribs (I suspect they were reheated from the day before), overcooked chicken breast or maybe also reheated. In short, very disappointed with my dinner, even more disappointed since it is my favorite restaurant for ribs. When you pay $85 for a meal for 2, it ABSOLUTELY has to be good.

December 22, 2023

Today, December 7, 5 p.m., I arrive at Scores for several years. I have been a good customer. The waitress seems very frustrated and stupid, but hey, I order after giving me my meal, I eat her and never come to see me after having finished eating exactly 18 minutes no news from her no refill of drinks I ask her for the bill it took 10 minutes I tell her that the service that evening was nonsense she gets angry I let her do it I pay leaves 0 of tips her to me... In the back when I went out however there were 5 customers in the restaurant ultimately never again the scores in Granby

The restaurant food is more than acceptable. But the service... waitress who goes into the kitchen insulting the big t*barnak customers, thinking that we can hear nothing in the room.

Our waitress gave us our drinks in bottles? like could u not give us a glass for them at least? she then took our orders, and it took 40+ minutes for our food to actually get to the table. when it did get here, every one of us was disappointed with our food. i ordered the club sandwich, the chicken was so dry, i tried adding mayo to it to make it better, it wasnt. didnt help. the fries were the only good thing about my meal (she didnt ask me how i wanted my fries but asked the person beside me). i couldnt eat it, i took two bites and was grossed out. after waiting 40 minutes for our food just to be disapointed? yeah i can see why a scores is so rare to come by these days. oh, and there was a hair in my food :) so that was great. i would never come back here. the service isnt even friendly. oh and all the staff looks overworked and under appreciated. everyone here looks miserable. you should do something about that.
