This is in my girlfriend's neighbourhood and we've been once so far on one of those cold nights in late February when we were hungry and did not want to think or walk long for dinner.
No real surprises here--it is a Gabby's. I was pleased to be able to get a Big Wheel on tap and bonus points for the gluten free menu. Actually, extra bonus points for the kitchen being able to make my item special (no onions).
But yeah--it is a Gabby's so you know what you are getting in terms of food and drink.
Service from our waitress was excellent.
Two meals, two drinks, tax and tip was just under $50. Don't assume that chain pubs are cheaper. But don't assume they can't be as friendly or as customer oriented as indies. While I do try to support local, independently owned businesses, in the end, especially with restaurants or pubs, I think it comes down to the location's staff and management. This one is quite well run.
Recommended if you are on the west end of the Junction!
