Review: Canyon's Restaurant @ Redmond, WA

Store: Canyon's Restaurant
Location: 15740 Redmond Way, Redmond, WA

Over the weekend, we were doing grocery shopping in the Canyon's Restaurant's plaza, and decided to have dinner at Canyon's.  We discovered Ben Franklin Crafts and Frames in the plaza, it's a heaven there, they look more organized than Michael's and have a stamping booth where you buy your own paper and you can use their stamp to shape your paper, i.e. flags, shopping bags, etc... pretty cool.  Will definitely come back if we want to decorate our home later.

Back to Canyon's, it's an American restaurant, i.e. where you get burgers and fries.  Also, they have a good selections of Mexican food.  The restaurant is roomy and has lots of tv, not sure if it's because we were sitting near the bar area.  Their service on the other hand will be where the marks got deducted:
a) The menu they provided me had a few drops of water on it. :S
b) Their fries were unlimited but my glass of water was empty for awhile and they didn't notice.
c) When ordering chicken enchiladas, the waitress asked us whether we want guacamole, we said yes but we didn't know they were going to charge $0.99!!  And later we found out that the dish already has avocado; if we knew this, we probably won't bother with the guacamole.



Their food is decent though, here are the dishes we tried:
1. Chicken Enchiladas ($14 + $0.99 for guacamole)
Nice presentation, decent amount of meat. Good food.

2. Crispy Fish Burger ($10)
Normally, I wouldn't order burger but I was craving for a St. Lawrence Market fish sandwich and so decided to go with this.  The fish was crispy and we loved their fries because of its spiciness.  We also ordered an extra plate of fries as it's bottomless! However, the sandwich here is not as good as the ones in St. Lawrence market, guess I had high expectations when ordering, if not, I should have gave this a higher score.


Price: $$
Taste: 3.5/5
Environment: 3/5
Recommend for friends: Maybe?  If you are a sports person and there's a game playing that day.  Or if you have discounts, this restaurant will be a good deal.

Tips:
1. One big reason we will go back is Daniel gets discount when dining here, buy one entree get one free!!  How can we go wrong with that?!?! We paid $20 for these two entrees including tax and tips!  
2. When they offer you add-ons, check if there's extra charge.
