The donuts are acceptable to eat if someone else purchases them, but the coffee is trash and the food is even worse trash. As in, if you're not literally starving, and your choice is between being hungry and eating at Tims you should honestly just go hungry. They are committed to mediocrity in a very fascinating way.

I got two farmers wraps this morning for $5. Feeling fine so far but I might regret it later.

This is another place to tell my story of when I went to a Tim Hortons in Quebec and tried to order the farmers wrap combo and got incredibly irate when the guy kept saying “trio?” And insisted that I was in fact not trying to order three farmers wraps but get a combo very loudly in English. I think like fifteen minutes after I ordered I realized that trio probably meant combo.

NumbersMatching320 posted:especially now that the Turkey Bacon Club has no mustard. self-quoting to explain for people who haven't had it, the condiment in question wasn't actually mustard so much as what I imagine Sprite syrup is like when it goes off, with a slight mustardy undertone and even that was better than the current sandwich

The one time I got one it had a really grainy texture like a Frosty but worse but I dunno if it was just the one Tims that hosed it up or if it's just an Ice Capp Thing That's the real kicker about Tims, it's really inconsistent, I got a French vanilla in one place that was fine but when I got it at a U of Calgary location I couldn't even finish it because it tasted like dish soap

The only thing worth eating at Tim Horton's are the breakfast muffin sandwiches. Even then, they always taste like onions. I don't think they ever clean their griddles. I'm not talking about just one location right the street from me either. This is a consistent factor among every Tim Horton's I have ever been to. The coffee is lovely too.

There’s literally two separate ones in the student union building because when there was only one the lineup was insane. There’s tons of better coffee and food options in the same food court, and even a pub, but people loving love Tim Hortons like a crackhead loves crack.

I remember the U of C Tim’s locations were insane during roll up the rim. The appeal of Tim’s like 10 years ago was you basically got an insane amount of coffee. An extra large was like $2 and tasted like burnt transmission fluid so everyone dumped a shitload of cream and sugar into it. The coffee admittedly has gotten better but still isn’t amazing but it’s now the price difference to other coffees isn’t as amazing. McDonald’s is the better value for cheap coffee right now.

The majority consensus out here is that Tim Hortons coffee is the best (out of the fast food chains). dont @ me just yet because 'here' is industrial and suburban Detroit, where the chain creeped in from Windsor almost fifty years ago.

I've never once had any food at Tim's that I didn't regret getting. Like, every single sandwich, soup, whatever, their food is awful. Their coffee is an abomination too but somewhat less repulsive than McDonald's. The coffee I make at home is too good to waste freaking 2$ on a fast-food poo poo fluid. That's my Tim's story and I hope you enjoyed it.

Tims generally sucks. The ones near me seem to operate on a system of not having more than 2 of any donut in stock. And the best donut, Old-Fashioned Plain are always, ALWAYS sold out. gently caress it though, 7-11 has better apple fritters than Tims does. Tims is also unique in that at any time there's about 30 staff behind the counter at any given time, and yet they have the absolute slowest service of any joint. 30 people behind the counter, it's still going to take you 10 minutes to buy a donut.

Modern Tims is a great example of what happens when a company is purchased by a massive conglomerate that suddenly starts making massive cuts all across the board in order to see immediate return on investment without a singular gently caress given about the long-term damage done to the brand's reputation. They spent money updating the storefronts but cut costs in all the foodstuffs, I don't understand the logic at all.

I eat at Timmies way too much because there's one next to where I work and I'm lazy. I also eat far too many of their donuts, because I'm a sugar junkie and will happily eat any donut and never say no to a combo. These days I mostly stick to the bagel belt and the BLT, with occasional forays into the crispy wraps. Speaking of inexplicable ownership changes, a year or so ago they changed the turkey bacon club from using honey mustard to using mayo. This took the most edible sandwich on the menu and made it taste like disappointment. E: oh this was already mentioned. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Without further ado, here is my Tim Horton's donut flavour tier list. S: Canadian Maple Honey Cruller Apple Fritter A: Double Chocolate Boston Cream Chocolate Dip Most of the special rotations also fall here: they're usually excessive and poorly assembled e.g. the current one that is a double chocolate cut in half and then stuffed with chocolate frosting. It always falls apart and is kind of mangled, but sometimes I just want as much chocolate as is available. B: Pretty much anyone I didn't mention. Specialty donuts with a sticky filling that splooges out when you bite it in inconvenient ways-- the filling needs a a higher densitiy. F: Old fashioned/sour cream glazed Whatever the sad coconut flaked one that shows up sometimes is CRISPYBABY fucked around with this message at 18:42 on Feb 20, 2020 |

I lived in Vancouver for 3 years and Tim Hortons loving Sucks. Food is small and overpriced, coffee is trash. Also controversial opinion here that will most likely turn the thread against me: Turkey is a trash meat for losers.

It's like a Whopper; you eat one a year, and immediately feel regret afterwords. Cut to 11 months later, and you're thinking "drat... you know what I haven't had in a while? A Whopper! Those were good, rite?"

In my old hometown Kamloops BC, there is a guy who ran Timmy's for years then stopped*. And by stopped, I mean stopped being Tim's and started being the Donut King. Since he ran it for decades prior as Tim's, he had the old tim's recipes from before the dark times when frozen donuts were shipped across the land. So if you're an old like me and remember Tim's donuts having that actual fried donut flavour and being kind of good and also like salad rolls and pho because he's vietnamese, there you go. *small-town rumour had it front door was for donuts and back door was for green and white and Tim didn't like it

Tim Hortons coffee is fine. Nothing bad, nothing special. But it all started to go down hill when they stopped making fresh donuts 20 years ago and the final nail is when they started to make "food". Also I don't drive but I think the drive through should be limited to donuts, muffins and simple beverages. If you need six different ice caps, sandwiches and whatever else go inside and get it please.

Tim Hortons is poo poo. Several years back, the first one in the area opened near my office. I figured I'd be the hero of the day and bring in a dozen. I got a random assortment and they were all fuckin garbage.
