| - Went here for dinner around 8pm on a Wednesday night - it was packed! I've been to Moxies before, at Hwy7 and Leslie, but I think this one was better. It was packed - there's a dining area and a lounge area, the lounge area is louder and i believe it's 19+ because of le booooze. We sat in the dining area, spacious and tons of space - the booths were super comfortable.
I had the loaded backyard burger. It was great - mushrooms, tons of cheese, lettuce, onions, tomato and BACON. yummy crunchy delicious bacon. It was better than average burger, but definitely not the best. The meat was dry-ish and I really didn't like the bun. The top is very glossy and i had to peel it off, not my style. Fries were standard - thick cut, crispy and fresh. I ordered the basil mayo which was a great idea - it's delicious!!! Definitely trying this at home.
My friend had the chicken enchiladas, of which i had one and some salsa and guacamole. The enchiladas were OK, kind of slimy and too bready? The sauce was a bit slippery, not sure how to explain it but it kind of reminded me of a creamy version of cheese whiz. There were tortilla chips all around, with sour cream and salsa. Those were both ok, salsa wasn't too flavourful or spicy - just bearable. But the guac. OMG THE GUAC IS HORRIBLE!!!!! It has the texture of toothpaste, it tasted disgusting. For the first time in my life, I was disappointed in guac. I don't know what they did to it but for the love of all things food - stop doing it. YUCK.
We also got sweet potato fries and they come with two sauces - one is chipotle and one is curry based (i think, at least that's what it tasted like). The sauces were ok, the fries were a bit soggy and not crunchy at all. Kind of disappointed?
The service was great, he was quick and sweet and just generally very nice, not overpowering. I think his name was Dustin.....but who know, I suck at names.
If you don't have good dinner ideas I would suggest this place, it's standard, no hassle and pretty good portions. But DO NOT ORDER THE GUACAMOLE. Unless you want to embark on a toothpasty adventure.... eek.
