"Stopped in for some takeaway today. Received what seems to be a typical experience for us.We showed up 10 minutes before pickup and the food was, unexpectedly, already bagged and ready to go.The food was fairly well cooked and met or exceeded expectations. The burgers were flavourful and juicy. The chicken was well breaded and fried to an excellent crisp-yet-juicy.That is not to say the food is perfect. The fries are a bit bland, even the spiced ones. The spicy chicken was also quite mild. Since it was takeaway and they preassemble the sandwiches, the bread was rather soggy. We experimented today with a crispy burger which was a burger battered in a falafel-like crust and fried. I probably will not order that particular dish again, but it was an interesting off-beat option.The pick up line was empty with two employees at the counter. One did not engage with us at all. The other alternated between answering phones and then being able to respond to us.There was a small discrepancy in the order (a missing sauce). We initially mentioned to the counterman that we had ordered it and that we did not expect it to be in the bag since we have never had the sauce we ordered actually in the bag. (We have adjusted our expectations to always check our Dougie's takeaway for accuracy.)The employee told us that the sauce should be in there, so we checked our order on a nearby table. The sauce was not there. We told the employee and began repacking the bag. He insisted on checking the contents again himself; he also found the sauce to be missing and did eventually get one for us. We were left to repack the bag again.The order included drinks, which we reminded the employee when he was off the phone again. He told us to go ahead and grab from a nearby merchandiser. We realised on the drive home that he had neglected to charge us, so we paid using this ingenious QR code on the receipt.Although the experience differs visit to visit, it always seems a bit chaotic. Usually our orders are missing items, so do check before driving off. When asking regarding allergen information, we have been regularly misinformed, so be very cautious if you have allergies.With that said, the food is enjoyable and fairly consistent.

"Unfortunately, I found the prices at this restaurant to be quite exorbitant, especially considering the decline in food quality since before the pandemic. Parts of my meal were poorly cooked, and the service was unprofessional. The restaurant employs young locals who seem unfamiliar with the menu and more focused on the TV screens than on serving customers. To our surprise, we encountered a menu that featured handwritten price adjustments. For instance, today, the steak costs $52 instead of $48, with additional charges of $2 and $3 for various items. I can't help but describe this as rather cheap and lacking in class. Additionally, the heating was inadequate for mid-November, and we only began to warm up by the time dessert arrived. There was clutter from store supplies and cleaning materials positioned right next to the serving tables. The floors were dirty and sticky, and the hallway leading to the washroom posed an obstacle course for senior citizens. The ambiance could also use improvement; we could hear conversations in Spanish from the kitchen staff, which compromises the dining experience. There should be a barrier between the kitchen entrance and the serving area. Parking is somewhat limited on the main street, but there are plenty of spaces available on the adjacent streets. I urge the management to address these issues. God willing, I hope to revisit in three months to see improvements and potentially upgrade Dougies Teaneck to a five-star rating."
