Hoops Sports Bar & Grill

We read the online reviews but the Montrose Road store was close.... Arrived at p.m. on Saturday evening. people each at tables near the bar were finishing up, a family of was seated in the center dining area and people...were in the side area. No one was at the reception sign so we proceeded to the bar. Our bouncy bartender left the sole customer at the far end after a few minutes of chat with him to acknowledge us. We explained we wanted to order out; she asked what we wanted. We explained a menu might be helpful, which she then fetched for us and hastily returned to the backward baseball cap at the bar’s other end. A couple more inches of fabric on her hot pants garb would be a kindness. We had to flag her down again to place our order: fish and chips w coleslaw, lb of wings and a steak sandwich w fries. Curiously, we were never once asked if we wanted a beverage. At and after our inquiry, our barkeeper went in search of our food. She cashed out one of the bar tables, made one frozen drink, took our food order, asked us to pay our bill for future food (we declined) and talked to the backwards hat the entire time since our order was taken: she did absolutely nothing else for minutes. The boxes finally arrived hot but it took another minutes for her to process our credit card payment. We examined the boxes in the car: orders were correct IF tiny wings, vintage fish and at least lbs of largely inch long french fries are all supposed to be the same dark brown color, tough and way overcooked. The two fish fillets combined totaled the size of a slice of Wonder Bread including the overly thick breading. Gordons would be ashamed. The ounce serving (if) of coleslaw was quite good and the steak sandwich was reportedly “good.” The fried-to-leather-over-bone chicklet wingettes were pretty close to inedible and served with an ounce or so of Elmer’s glue we couldn’t eat. The “pound” of wings that is limp, mushy, often inch long overcooked potato is a consumer fraud even if it were edible. No management personnel was in sight but we did see two other servers come into the bar area and collect drinks themselves. Sadly, there is no way to leave less than one star.

of us went in the afternoon after an uplifting show at the Cinema. What a let down Hoops was. It almost seems as though they’re preparing to shut down permanently. That’s certainly the impression we got. There was only one server and although she...tried to be pleasant it was obvious she had a difficult role. We started out by ordering coffee. “We don’t have any. We ran out.” We tried for herbal tea. “We only have orange pekoe”. I ordered mine with lemon and honey. “We don’t have honey”. The tea finally came but no milk or lemon or sugar. After a minute wait we asked for it since the tea was getting cold every request took at least minutes to arrive even the salt pepper we asked for after our food arrived took that long to arrive. The last straw was no toilet paper in the washroom and a broken dryer. Need I say we will not be returning and won’t be surprised if it shuts down before long?

My girlfriend went to hoops November and was served a steak that smelt and tasted rancid. It had the odour of actual rotting trash. The steak was brought home and was brought back to the restaurant today the Everyone working at the time...of was anything less then helpful and horribly rude. Normally the food at hoops is awful, but this time it was obvious they served rotting meat. DO NOT EAT HERE, do you’re self a favour and go anywhere else. I cannot stress that enough, you are better off eating roadkill than a steak from Hoops

Four of us have been going fairly often to Hoops before seeing a movie. Wings have really gone downhill, the biggest wing of all four of us was size of a little finger, overdone and pathetic looking. The fries were cut about an inch long....Service was slow as there was only serving entire restaurant. We asked if the wings were small because it was half price night, waitress said they are always like that. We will not return.

We were served promptly by a very pleasant waitress...the steak sandwich was fantastic and came with a very large salad.
