| - This is one of the BEST chain restaurants to take a friend on there Birthday (i'll get to that reason later on).
Two of my girlfriends were celebrating there birthday so i decided to take them here for some dinner.
The hostess were nice and were seated at a booth in the dining room. The table was a wooden picnic table and it had brown paper covering it and crayons to write on.
Our waiter Phil came over and wrote his name on the table and went over the specials with us. He was such an amazinggg waiter I must say! Always cheery and grreat with service. I alerted him that 2 ppl in the party were here to celebrate there birthdays and he said he'd take care it. We were taking forever to order because we couldn't stop gabbing but he gave us tons of time no rush.
For drinks I got the Lemonade - Perfect balanace of sweet and tartness no complaints and I Love that they serve the drinks in Mason Jars.
Mains ordered at the table included a mix of the Cookhouse Top Sirloins and Smokehouse Pork Ribs.
I ordered the Cookhouse Top Sirloin - A tender, juicy Canadian AAA top sirloin, aged 28 days. Fire-grilled to order with crispy Cajun onions. You also get a choice of Southern Baked Beans, Kicked-up Corn or Coleslaw, and one side. I went with the beans and fresh vegetables. I love the beans here they have great smokey flavour.
My steak was soo big and juicy, it was bigger than the others who ordered steaks, the only difference was that I ordered mines medium-rare everyone else ordered theres medium-well.
We also thought the steaks came with cornbread but it only came with the ribs meals. However Phil was soo amazing he brought a plateful for the table on the house. They cornbread here is also really good, a buttery sweet flavour.
After our meals Phil cleared up the table and handed us the dessert menu to browse. He then alerted me he was going to round up the staff to come out for the birthday surprise for my friends. All the staff came out clapping and chanting there birthday song, the whole restaurant participated and they put a giant viking hat with hugeee horns on them while they sang and clapped. It was sooo histerical!!!! A great birthday memory!!
Finally Dessert orders included :
Apple Cobbler - Freshly baked apples with cinnamon, brown sugar and crunchy oatmeal crumble. Topped with a blueberry apple sauce and vanilla ice cream. My friends thoroughly enjoyed it
But I had to have my Favourite Dessert!
Mile High Mud Pie
A mountain of layers. Espresso chocolate flake ice cream layered with creamy peanut butter and chocolate ice cream on a crunchy chocolate cookie crust. Topped with whipped cream and chocolate sauce.
I decided to go for the 1/2 mile because I knew I couldn't tackle that whole mile (its massive). This is the ultimate choco/pb/coffeee lover's dessert and a great finish to any meal!
Overall spectacular service from our waiter Phil, a must for Birthday celebrations, great for large groups, awesome ribs and steaks and a superb dessert menu!
