I don't often write reviews, unless a restaurant really wows me, for better, or for worse. This time it was for the better. The fries were perfectly seasoned. They were so good that I forgot to even use ketchup, and I usually have my fries with extra ketchup. Perfect light-golden fry on them, still flexible, but not at all soggy; even after walking 350m back to my truck. If you like your fries rigid, more browned, and extra crispy, ask for them well-done, but they are perfect just the way they make them. The Brisket Sandwich was also very good. The whole thing cost me a little over $23 but I eat at a wide variety of restaurants for work, and $23 is pretty standard for a Brisket Sandwich and Fries, and a good deal when the food is this good.

Stopped by this place for lunch with my pregnant daughter. We both ordered the Veggie Delight sandwich (grossly overpriced for what it is). We waited about 5 minutes and then went up to get our order. The sandwiches were served toasted which was great but the combination of flavours had a very unpleasant, pungent taste. We were starving so didn't care that much. All of the sudden, my daughter spits the bite she had in her mouth out into a napkin and says that there is a hair in her sandwich. Thinking it was the alfalfa sprouts I took a look. Sure enough, a long, nasty hair had been cooked into her sandwich. We barely made it out of there before she threw up.

Hello, if a customer finds a HAIR in their food, the cost of the meal should be re-imbursed because NO WAY am I eating there again. Very displeased with their customer service and a $22.87 dollar...

So what a discovery! Ive walked past this place so many times and today I decided to pop in and have a look ...and man..am I ever glad I did! Located on Queen Street by Carlaw, this little gem offers a quaint and old general store feel... Besides the variety of yummy goodies and sweets that are offered ... lo and behold... they have a phenomenal barbecue menu! For my very first try I had the bacon fritters and they did not disappoint. Crisp and fluffy with generous pieces of smokey bacon paired with an awesome creamy Creole aioli...it made for a great snack.. like a party in my mouth! Next time I'll be sure to try one of the beautifully handcrafted sandwiches or one of the many great selections of comfort food. Made with all local ingredients, it makes for a great feeling to support a business that strives to offer a nostalgic ambience and super fun and delicious food... And the friendly service was the cherry on top! Thanks guys keep up the good work.. I'll...
