Dropped in on what happened to be their 1-year anniversary so we lucked out on free beer! Yay!
As a Maritimer, I have been craving donair since I moved to Toronto a billion years ago so I'm elated that I now have an outlet to satisfy that hunger! So to get to the point, the donair was decent. It didn't blow my mind (maybe it would taste better at 3am in Halifax after 18 rum and Cokes like the good ol days...) but it was tasty enough. What I can't understand is the $12 price tag. For that price, it should come with a salad or other side.
My friend had the burger and it was pretty good. I loved the fries, but the gravy was a bit weird.
The service was good overall. The bathrooms were a bit gross and the hospital grade soap was awful. Smelled so bad and strong that it interfered with the taste of my food when I got back from the bathroom. I hope they take some time to give that bathroom a good scrub and a fresh coat of paint would go a long way.
I would definitely go back to the Thirsty Duck - and would likely have the donair again, though the "stuffing chowder" sounds interesting.
A few improvements and this place would be a gem.
