| - Very, VERY impressed with this place. I should've taken some pics, but I can assure that the pics presently on the site (at the time of writing), including the owner's photos, are fully accurate in depicting the presentation and quality of the food.
First off, if you couldn't tell already, it's situated at a golf course. About the only issue I had was a minor one, as you're directed to walk to the side and around to main building to get to it, but there's no path. You have to walk on the road briefly which can be a bit confusing on your first visit.
We came mid-day on a Sunday when they have a brunch menu. Some great brunch features, including a $36 option which serves 4 and has the favourites of toast, bacon, egg, sausage, and home fries. A helpful option they do with that is simply adding about $10 for each additional person. Naturally there's omelettes, benny's etc...
I had already eaten breakfast so I went with the jalapeƱo burger. Again, I really should've taken a pic as it was perfectly served, and even had a popper on top. A very large patty made with quality meat, and still had some very slight pink in the middle which I was was happy with. Love the pickled jalapeƱos and onions, and the veggies were perfectly fresh. Good side of fresh-cut fries.
My wife went with the California salad, which included walnuts, orange, strawberries and half an avocado. Without exaggerating, it was the best presentation of a salad in this price range I've seen by far. It was served with a mini wooden spoon and fork and a side mini mason jar of citrus dressing. I also can't overstate how perfectly fresh and ripe each component was, with nothing being slightly wilted or unripened.
Oddly, I was almost the most impressed by the kids menu. At first it seems like a pretty high price point for kids with most things starting at $11. However, the waitress said one pizza would be more than enough, and I kid you not (no pun intended) that it was a 10" pizza. Very good quality and the cheese had a nice, slightly aged (but not too much) quality to it. They both received drink and for dessert went with funnel cake fries. It was essentially funnel cake, but just portioned in a way that they were in the shape of fries, and served in a mini fry basket with icing sugar and a side of chocolate sauce. $11 very well spent I'd say.
For this price point, with most items on the menu being under $20, it's fully deserving of a 5. It's easy to say that this is a must try for anyone in Brampton, and given its location, people in areas such as Meadowvale and Streetsville can make it here in 15-20 minutes too and should certainly give Iggy's a try.
