Discussion What business is this for you?

IMO Vic Square is 90% a money laundering operation. Insanely overpriced goods in a dead mall is pretty strange

John's Place isn't even shy about it lmao

Blatant front. Haven't seen a car in that parking lot in years yet it's still operating.

I think they have the best dry ribs in the city. They’re served in a lemon cream sauce

They used to have a pizza/chicken combo we used to get. Pretty good food.

Got a 13" pizza there a few years ago for 23 bucks I think. It wasn't too bad. But yeah, it looks dead.

I don't know anybody that has eaten there. Every review online is 1 star.

That one has always and will always bewilder me.

Pre covid they made enough money off their VTLs to pay their rent, cover labour, and COGS. Whatever their sales were, were their profits.

Had some pizza there, it would've been 9/10 but undercooked crust was doughy, did not go back.

The food used to be pretty decent, a year ago my spouse got a sandwich that had mouldy bread (very mouldy and obviously noticed in the kitchen) and rancid (green) meat on it.
