Here's a little known fact. Good old Tim had a burger joint before he started his donuts and coffee enterprise. Here's a pic i found of Tim's #7 burger joint in my home town. This place closed in the early 70s.
The burgers were yummy.   |

I've never had them but I've heard they're good. They're in border states but I've heard of some in Ohio. My sister and brother in law went to one when they went to Niagara Falls a few years back and they said it would be what Dunkin Donuts was if Dunkin Donuts gave a crap.

The coffee is great, not gourmet or anything but just damn good coffee. I have it shipped to me in Florida.

Here, near Buffalo NY you can't go 50 feet without passing a Tim Hortons. The coffee is a bit too strong for my taste. If you're constipated, it will clear you up though.

I'm not a fan of their coffee, but Tim Hortons fucking destroyed the Krispy Creme that they built up here and it close 1.5 years after it opened. Fucking sucks, their donuts were awesome. 'round 2000 I was working near Toronto. We had a regular waitress at the restaurant we ate at. She'd never heard of Krispy Kreme. It was all Tim's, right? We took one up for her. I think she had an orgasm at the table. 
I don't normally drink coffee. I love me some Tim's. It always surprise people when I turn down coffee time and again, and then ask for it when someone is going to Tim's. |

Quoted: Doesn't Wendy's own them? I am not sure if they own them, but they definately have some kind of relationship as the one next to work also has a Wendy's in the same building. The drive thru situation is a little funky (they each have one) but it works. I really like Tim Horton's a lot. It is not just their coffee but they make a very good sandwich, decent soups, great selection of bagels and donuts too. Way better than a krispy kreme or a dunkin donuts IMO as far as selection. It is just an all around good concept and executed well (at least at our local one). |

Their donuts are good but a little on the small side, coffee's pretty good someof their breakfast sandwiches not so good. If there's no "Dunky Donuts" in sight it's Tim's!

Tim Horton's is the only donut place I've ever been to that serves lunch, where the lunch selections are so good you might eat there just for the lunch and not the donuts. That soup bowl, or whatever it's called (soup in a hollowed out loaf) is excellent, and they make an outstanding egg salad sandwich.

The reason that Tim Horton's burger joint went out of business is that all of his workers were trained to bitch-slap each customer after handing them their order, and tell them "here is your burger and fries,
you better enjoy them, mother fucker!" He figured this kind of "aggressive hospitality" would go over well, but it didn't. This just rubbed a lot of customers the wrong way and he went under. He adopted a much more laid back service model for this chain of donut shops.

In the US, ketchup is for French fries. In Canada, gravy is for French fries, hence ketchup as a condiment is strictly a backup selection and they don't worry about it's quality. .

I like that Timmy's keeps Starbuck's honest.
It's hard for Starbucks to charge $4+ for a cup when the place next door is asking a two-fidy. Second Cup ain't too bad either. In fact, it's pretty hard to have a bad cup of coffee when it's -29.  |

When I was Traveling through BC and the Yukon There was a Tim Horton's in every little town. I finally gave in and stopped at one during the afternoon. The place was full. Coffee and doughnuts at 3pm? WTF
Also I found out that in BC Wheat toast is referred to as "brown" toast. I will say Prince George was full of hot women. Also as a whole people seemed much nicer in Canada than the places I've been in the US but the price of fuel there is insane. |

I've never had their food, or even heard of them.
Dunkin Donuts is my go-to coffee place here. Their iced coffee is all I really drink anymore. Occasionally I'll buy a bag of it from the store and bring it home but the mother figure in the household drinks it all before I get a chance. When I complain, she counters with the fact that she pays the mortgage and it's her house... can't really argue with that. 
Maybe I'll buy a bag and hide it in an old cereal box in the back of the pantry or something... |

I had some Tim Hortons outside of Toronto a few weeks back. I like them just fine. Their coffee isn't bad,either, though I'm not a traditional "double/double" guy.
Mostly I was amazed that the cashier took USD after a minute of me digging through my pockets searching for a spare loonie. This was at least 100 k's from the border, so I was a bit surprised. A high BAC and the physics of impacting concrete killed Tim Horton. Triglycerides seem much safer. If only he'd been addicted to his tasty burgers and donuts! |
