Marcello's AMEC Place
I used to buy lunch in this place before and the food was delicious. However, recently their food sucks especially their lunch buffet - the food they serve are almost the same every time and taste like awkward. Like their chicken used to be tender but now so so so dry and their vegetables were overcooked and there's no much variety anymore. I hope that the management will do something about it.
So now I only go there to buy in their Deli section - where you can choose your own veggie in your sub or wrap - the veggies look newer and fresh. And I would like to give two thumbs up to the guy working in that deli because he was so approachable, patient and he always smiles to the customers even though he has a long line up. Their wraps are the best especially the Southwest Chicken and Thai Chicken wrap.
from my understanding, ownership of this Marcello's has changed in the last year. I've heard from colleagues that this location was a sure way to get food poisoning a year ago. THIS IS NOT THE CASE ANYMORE. It has new owners - a family who shares a number of the Marcello locations.I do believe its still a little stigmatized because its always empty, but I'm here almost daily for breakfast and every so often for lunch and trust me, the food is delicious. The service can sometimes be a little slow because they only have the one small cooking station for eggs (if you're looking for a breakfast sandwich instead of their buffet) but most days it goes fast. The best part - you can get almost anything your little taste buds desire as they are great with customization. I really love the endless options for both breakfast and lunch. They have fresh fruit, yogurt, yogurt parfaits, sandwiches, wraps, hot meals, salads, salad buffets, hot buffets, breakfast buffets, assorted protein bars/ health food bars, pressed juices, pop's, flavored waters/soda waters. Honestly, almost everything! much better than silly old Tim Horton's, so if you're hesitant because of past rumors... go on in and give it a whirl. You wont regret it :)
Buffet is good, but be careful of line jumpers. If you want to use the Buffet, make sure you stand in line like a civilized person. The line starts at the fruit, then goes away from the fruit. If you come in from the other side of the buffet, you are just being an inconsiderate jerk.
Eric was there earlier, and some old dirtbag entered the buffet from the wrong side...then had the nerve to give Eric a dirty look. I think this POS better stick with Golden Corral, or the Pizza Hut lunch buffet, and leave the real buffets to decent human beings.
