I've never been to Gibsons, and it's certainly hard to judge a picture. But the macaroni looks store-bought and the fries appear to be extremely greasy. Just what I can taste from a picture. 🤔
I have been to Gibsons and it wasn't great but not terrible. I like some bark with my Q so that in the picture would be fine by me, but I agree with what your perception of the sides would be.
Gibson's lives off the reputation of their White sauce, which I don't particularly care for.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.
