Haugen's Chicken Barbecue - Port Perry

This is a place I have been going to since I was a child. It was a regular stop on the way to the lake district. We decided to give it a try again recently and it has not aged well. The food was bland and overcooked and the portions seemed very small. While the sauces were tasty they didn't really help the dry chicken. I had the rib and chicken combo (discounted on Tuesday nights) and the rib portion was almost laughable. I think it was the tail end of the smallest rack of ribs on the planet. The decor is right out of the 60's and this doesn't help the overall experience. I think we will give this place a pass in the future. Sadly it's not gotten better with age.

So they advertise they have been on that food show.so we tried it and what a waste of time.the chicken was as dry as sand and the cost was a jokemust commend them on the view out the window of their ancient air conditioner.not much on being very clean eithertake a pass and go to swiss chalet in uxbridge

Came here 30 minutes before closing and we were greeted and seated quickly. My boyfriend and I shared the large ribs which came with fries and coleslaw. It was delicious, great barbecue with not-quite fall off the bones ribs and a creamy yet vinegary coleslaw. We will definitely be back.

My family and I dined at this restaurant after being advised, by numerous individuals, that this place had the best barbeque and chicken anywhere. However, after dining here, we aren't sure what all the fuss is about. The quality of the food was acceptable, but it seemed to be on par with what you would get at a cafeteria level eatery. The service was decent/fair, and the prices were OK. However, we drove about 30 minutes to get to the restaurant and it was not worth the drive. Personally, if people think the food here is awesome, then my guess is that they haven't really had much experience dining at a quality barbecue/chicken joint.

Been here a few times and it's worse every time. We had a reservation for a large group and they were not prepared. The service was slow and the food was not as good as it has been in past years. The restaurant is large and nice. Just slow service and food has gone downhill.
