Finally decided to try out this place after spending most of the afternoon looking up restaurants on yelp. We arrived just before 6. I wasn't expecting much with the atmosphere as according to some reviews that it is a no frills spot. it was a bit complicated to get to it as you do have to go thru a Tim Hortons/Gas station entrance to get to it. It was fairly empty except for another table who were just leaving. We were greeted by friendly staff. Seems that one of them was the owner. They sat us down in a booth.
Food: We ordered a full rack of back ribs with fries and coleslaw, Shrimp Po'boy a with fries and coleslaw and a side order of mac and cheese. The portions were huge. The price was reasonable. I found the ribs a little dry in certain spots probably because they were quite lean but they were tasty. My hubby and I decided that they were probably not smoked. We didn't notice any smoke rings. The fries were crispy. The Shrimp Po'boy, I've never had it before so I don't have anything to compare it to. the shrimp was well seasoned and cooked just right. It was a bit messy but that is expected. The only complaint I have is that I wish they used a crustier type of bread instead of the hotdog bun type that was too crumbly. I didn't eat a lot of the bread. The highlight for me was the amazing mac and cheese for $4.50. It was a side dish and it could've been an entree. It was creamy and very well seasoned. We all loved it.
Service was excellent. The only issue I have is that the bathroom smelled a bit sewagey. I understand this is probably not their fault as it is an old Wendy's building but maybe set up an air freshener in there. It is a bit off putting. They also need to put some effort towards their atmosphere a bit. Change the lighting maybe from the fluorescent lighting and maybe add some music. A touch of paint to just brighten the place up. It'll make the place a bit more inviting. A lot of people came by for take out it seems and they have a new Sunday breakfast menu. We will be back for the food.
