Camp 31 Bar-B-Q - Paris

My husband and I are not big fans of BBQ. But when we heard they had killer fried chicken, we thought we would give it a try. There aren't too many restaurants, other than the usual chains, that serve fried chicken. The restaurant is not very appealing from the outside, but our experience tells us to never judge a book by the cover. The inside had the feel of a small roadhouse which was fun, however it could use a good cleaning. Our server was friendly, but service was slow. I don't think it was his fault, as it seems there weren't enough servers for the steady stream of customers.We both chose the stew as a side an it came as an appetizer. Big, bold, beefy, delicious!!! We had also ordered the onion tanglers. They were fantastic! We hoped the breading on the fried chicken was going to be like the breading on the tanglers, and we were not disappointed. The fried chicken was some of the best we had ever had. The breading was light, and crispy and flavourful. The chicken was meaty and moist. We see from the menu that you can order "just chicken" for take-out and the next time we don't mind driving for over an hour (about 40 minutes one way from south end of Kitchener) we will definitely order the fried chicken for take-out!!The BBQ items, burgers, and natchos that we saw being delivered also looked and smelled delicious!! However, we will stick to the fried chicken.

The food was very good and the beer cold. The only issue we had at all was in the area of service. It was a little slow on the patio but in all fairness we were being served by a new employee that was a little wet behind the ears. Aside from that we all left, bursting at the seams and in need of a nap. I recommend this little BBQ restaurant to anyone looking for smoked deliciousness.

Went out Saturday 730 at night,30 minute wait for seating 45 minute wait on food Was it worth it The answer is yes,the southern fried chicken was amazing The shaved prime rib ok, fries as expected great

Had a great dinner there last night, food was excellent and service friendly and fast. Lots of choice on menus, 3 adult meals and three beers came to $75 including tax and tip so no problem with prices.It is dissapointing that the good food and service is not backed up with improved caretaking, the restrooms are filthy and the whole place could use a deep cleaning.

Service was great wait for a table was long had to sit in two groups due to number of diners. Would be better if reservations were accepted on weekends. Food was not bad but all the extra charges for sides was not something I agree with. If a meal comes with two sides you should get two sides not get charged an additional amount. The throwing of peanut shells etc....on floor was not real sanitary in my opinion. Overall probably will not go back. Fries were not good at all
