So wife, 2 daughters and I head down for for a late lunch on Saturday. Host sat us quickly wait staff was chill and thats fine by me I never like to ve rushedin and out. Drink orders were taken while we decided on food from a new menu. Now the selection all reads well and most items are tempting. Proper burgers, poutine chic sands and salads. After a short bit i decide on my selection a tex mex style poutine and a mac and cheess only to be informed they dont have that poutine available. The waitress informed the hadnt had it in a while for a place that just opened a few months ago????? Seriously. What ever I order another variation and add bacon cause why not, wife and girls order burgers. Now I dont order pasta ever!! The girls like pasta and mac and cheese so I order that thinking we will all get a taste and see how it is and one of the girls would finish it for me. Food arrive wife steals a bite of mac and cheese 2 seconds after it arrives ans says its cold, Not like the top piece is cold but cold I ask hey jus toss this in microwave for a min she insist no we will make a new one. Second one arrives boom cold again. My 12$ poutine also not very warm like fries premade granted if it was busy and it wasn't i understand precooked things to a degree. This seems like a rant but its not its just what happened. Here is my suggestion in short for 12$ fries should be propper hot. In a time of fancy mac and cheese for 12$ cheese sauce should be hot in steam table if thats what u use i assume pasta is prepped before that should be dipped in boiling water and whole mix should be tossed in skillet and put on a HOT dish cause it it cant make it the 30 feet from kitchen to my table hot 2 times something is wrong.. Will i go again yes to see if they have fixxed it but was a...
Read moreWent to the Hops Spot with a friend to try the poutine and have a beer. The beer list is pretty large. The majority of the list consisted of IPA's and Sour's. My friend loves IPA and she tried a couple different ones and was happy. Unfortunately for me, I like Wheat beer and there was only 1 on the menu. Blue Paw Wild Blueberry Wheat. I'd never tried a blueberry wheat before and it was pretty good. We decided we wanted to try poutine and a burger so we split them. There are quite a few crazy poutine recipes and most of them sounded delicious. We decided to go with Classique Poutine this time to see how they do with the basic. Hand cut fries, gravy, and cheese curd. The quality of the ingredients was good. Unfortunately, the gravy wasn't very warm. I think if everything was heated properly. It would've been great. For the burger we ordered the Blue Ribbon. Smoked blue cheese, carmelized onions, creamy blue cheese dressing, and bourbon bacon jam. We didn't get to choose the cook on our burger, so it came out well. It was cooked properly though and not dried out. This is probably the best blue cheese burger I've ever had. Usually the blue cheese is so overpowering you can't taste anything else. At The Hops Spot, this burger was perfectly balanced and so delicious. The burger was served with fresh cut fries which were hot, crispy, and perfect. I will go back to The Hops Spot. Maybe they'll add a few more wheat beer choices and I will ask for the gravy on the...
