| - Pretty satisfied with my experience here.
I had come on a weekday late afternoon so the restaurant was almost completely empty. The waitress, who was also our server, and who was also the bartender, was a lovely lady. Chatty, friendly, and attentive of our needs.
After asking for recommendations, I ordered the beef brisket sandwich, which was apparently the top seller at their restaurant and my boyfriend ordered the steak & frites. It did take a while for the food to come.. but I let it slide because the food that came was delicious! I loved the tangy sauce that they used to complement the corn slaw because it added a nice fresh crunch to the meatiness of the smoked brisket. It was also drizzled with a mixture of gravy and relish, which really contrasted with each other well. The brisket was tender and full of flavour, proving that it was genuinely slow-cooked for hours. The fries were just standard - but that's okay, I was never in it for the fries anyway. My boyfriend's steak was a decent cut of meat. Cooked to medium-rare, it still kept its pinkish center and wasn't tough to chew.
Really, my only problem that I experienced here was that there was a very persistent fly that kept bothering us throughout our entire meal. Since there were close to no other customers, the smell of our food was overwhelmingly alluring to the pest and I had a very bothersome time constantly trying to swat it.
Other than that, I mean, I would come back again if I was in the area. It's too bad it's nowhere near where I live!
