| - A nice, clean sports bar with lots of TV's, a decent beer selection and a menu that promises smoked BBQ. Am I really in Scarborough?
I came to Rally late on a Saturday night with a few Yelpers. From the parking lot we could smell the delicious scent of smoking meat which is always a plus. The restaurant is quite large, full of the TV's, and the décor is quite modern (I absolutely love the big booth seating).
We decided to share a beef brisket sandwich with a side of onion rings and a poutine. We also got a free pulled pork slider with our yelp check in offer. My favourite was probably the brisket, it was served on a nice French style baguette and the meat was pretty generously piled on. The meat was not melt in your mouth tender but was still pretty good. The brisket was doused in a BBQ sauce that was slightly too sweet for my liking, I would have preferred they serve the sauce on the side so that I could taste the meat and decide at my own discretion if it required sauce, all in all though this was a decent sandwich. The pulled pork slider was pretty good as well, generally I am not a big fan of pulled pork (not because I hate the idea but because most places don't make it well) however this was one of the better pulled pork sandwiches I have had. The sauce was not too sweet (My biggest complaint about most pulled pork is that the sauce is always too sweet) and the meat was quite moist, like the brisket this was pretty good but not mind-blowing.
The onion rings were pretty standard, nothing to write home about. The poutine was the most disappointing dish. It came to our table cold and IMO did not have enough gravy as there were many fries that were gravy-less. The gravy was nothing special; I would recommend you skip on the poutine. For dessert we ordered beignets (French donuts), these were hollow pockets of dough that were doused high with powdered sugar. These were ok, not too greasy but they did not blow me away. The end result of dessert was that the table looked like the end scene of Scarface thanks to the powdered sugar.
My favourite part of this place is the beer menu. For some reason Scarborough establishments like to boycott craft beer but lucky for me this place had a few local craft beers as well as some good imports, definitely a huge plus! The service was pretty good; our waitress was friendly and checked up on us often. Overall this would be a great place to grab some pub food, a drink and watch the game. Places like this are a rare find in Scarborough.
