| - I loved this place! My friend and I were grabbing a beer after work, and he suggested we head over to try the friend chicken on a waffle! Well, after realizing upon arrival that this was a brunch item served on Sundays, we settled in to pore over the menu. Wow. I wanted everything!
Before I get ahead of myself, the décor was great! For a Louisiana style BBQ joint, I found my surroundings tastefully classy but also a real draw with the home style paper towel roll, and serve-yourself cutlery jars per table! Cute little tea light lanterns and old fashioned water jugs with cork tops finished off the look pretty neatly! The lighting was muted, and felt like a real back patio BBQ with the string lights and wooden ambiance!
Émilie, our server, was very friendly and accommodating, and suggested we go for $4.99 pints of Rolling Rock (beer lover here, and RR was a great accompaniment for the grub style at this establishment, served in the appropriate glass. I was pleased, and my thirst was quenched!)
We ordered an appetizer of deep-friend pickle slices. MAN they were awesome and a half. I have had breaded, fried pickles before, but something about the light, crispy breading, and the hot, tart, brininess of the pickle just really did it for me! I dipped a few in ranch too, cuz that's how I roll! :)
After much deliberation over the awesome menu, I decided to order the pulled pork ravioli. Bummer, when I asked what the sauce was, I was told they were out of the ravioli at the moment. Another day! I'm totally curious! I ordered the Rapture sandwich instead (awesome name!), which had ham, bacon, goat cheese, and guacamole I believe (I can't seem to locate an online menu atm). They were out of guacamole as well, but I asked them to sub for something creamy like mayo or ranch. Absolutely to die for, whatever was subbed! Dan in the kitchen you rock! Also, the thick style bread was so soft and amazing! Dug it to the max!
My friend ordered fried chicken (he had to resolve the no-waffle-chicken craving that prompted our visit). It was unbelievably light and crisply-breaded, and moist to boot! He took a side of amaaaazing SMASHed (nice big chunks, not completely puréed) garlic potatoes. I don't know what magic happened there, but they were phenom. Lemon? Something wicked fresh along with the garlic, perhaps? No idea - mais très bon. Both of us had a side of collards cooked in a light, fresh bacon grease! Absolutely wicked flavour. As it was my first time having collards, it reminded me of having greens (back in Newfoundland) with a southern flair!
All in all, a fantastic evening and I will definitely be back again!
