Admiral Submarine — Restaurant in Brantford

My review of Admiral Submarine... more like a story...

The year was 1962. A single ship floated up the Brantford canal, landing in the downtown core, its cargo hatches bursting with fresh beef patties. The Admiral himself disembarked the ship, ready to rage war on the deep hunger that had clutched the city of Brantford for many years. A crowd had gathered in Shallow Creek Park, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Beef Barron himself and the magnificent meat filled ship. The Admiral addressed the crowd “I’ve heard your cries of hunger, and I’m here to restore full stomachs at reasonable prices… and I’m going to do it at the corner of Dalhousie and Queen Street”. The flock of people exploded into fanfare. Everyone lent their hands, and the backs, to carry the beefy contents of the cargo holds into the frozen catacombs beneath what would become Admiral Submarine.

The next day his work began. A lineup of patrons had already gathered within the take-out area. The grill was fired up the first time and covered with beef and bacon. The Admiral carefully crafted his finest creation… the Bacon Double Cheeseburger. A burger built according to secret blueprints that the Admiral himself had stolen from a top secret research facility whose scientists were conducting hot beef injection therapy treatments. His hands moved quickly as he piled three all-beef patties onto a sesame seed bun, with three slices of cheese separating the patties. The hungry customers gasped as he skillfully laid four slices of peameal bacon to the heap. Topped off with fresh lettuce, onions, and tomatoes, then lovingly wrapped in the sweet embrace of parchment paper. The first patron extended his arms to accept the majestic meat creation, to which the Admiral laughed “I’m not done yet”.

The crowd looked on, wide-eyed, as the Admiral filled an entire container with fresh homemade fries. The fries were cut from a rare breed of potato long thought to be extinct. He covered the fries with the finest salt known to man, harvested from the tears of Vegans. His concerto now complete, he handed off the breathtaking beef creation to the first lucky patron and a single tear rolled down his cheek. “My god, it’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before” exclaimed the customer. The Admiral was not satisfied though. “There is much hunger in this town to fight against. I may have won this battle, but there is still a war happening and I intent to see it through” The Admiral thundered as he raised a glistening greasy spatula above his head. The crowd cheered and clapped, knowing that their saviour against hunger had finally come, a meat stacked messiah.

The burger and fries, along with a Coke, was enough to satisfy the hunger of any man. From that day forth, there would be no more hunger in Brantford. The Admiral would dedicate himself to fairly priced food in absolutely massive portions. He came to town with mountains of meat in tow, but became the hero that Brantford needs. The Meat Messiah… The Beef Barron… The King of Fries… He is…...

Went here for first time today. Ordered a bacon cheese burger, cheeseburger, and 2 poutine. The portion sizes were insane and had I known I would have ordered less.

First - the burgers were really good and yes greasy but the good kind of greasy. The burgers were huge and had 2 patties which I didnt know but was good. The buns were big and fresh. I would recommend the burgers - be aware they are huge and order accordingly lol.

The poutine was large portion and I didn't like it. The fries weren't cooked enough and the gravy was heated up (not fresh). The cheese was good but overall the poutine i would not order again or recommend.

The service was friendly and not a long wait for the food. The inside was retro and they had minor Covid19 precautions (plexi glass barrier, couldn't go too close to counter, bathrooms closed). Its does not have wheelchair accessible door. They have sitting area that was open. The person who served us did not wear a mask or gloves while preparing the food.

Overall - would recommend trying if your in the area but be mindful of the portion sizes and it is reasonably priced for...

My wife and I absolutely love this place. It's very difficult to find an old school place that serves great food at a reasonable price anymore. We moved to Alberta 8 years ago, but every time we come back for a visit we always go here and wingmaster. The food is good and the portions are huge. Last visit my wife and I split a sub and small fries (which is a large takeout jammed full of fries) and we were both full for $14. The price was so low I had to give him a few extra dollars as a tip so I didn't feel like he was getting ripped off. The best and most impressive part is that after all these years the original owner is still hard at work. My hat is off to you sir, I am...
