read moreThe Big R restaurant has received mixed reviews lately, with complaints of poor quality food, cold items, and sketchy service. Customers have expressed frustration over overcooked fries, cold and greasy fish, and lackluster meals. Despite these negative experiences, some patrons have enjoyed the generous portions and friendly staff. The establishment has also received praise for their delicious hand-scattered cod and chips, as well as their hot turkey sandwiches. Overall, the Big R offers decent food at a reasonable price, but inconsistent quality and service may leave some customers disappointed. It seems like a hit or miss dining experience based on recent feedback.
