| - My friends and i wanted to go to the Stockyards for dinner. However, we did not realize they were closed on Mondays.
We were all starving and decided to go to South Street Burger Co. Now I will fully admit I'm prejudice against NY Fries. I'm from Montreal, and found their menu overpriced. However, I was willing to give their burger offerings a try. I'm REALLY glad I did.
The menu offers vegetarian and meat options. The young looking staff was very busy, so I wasn't able to grill them about vegan options. My apologies for the bad pun. They do offer gluten free buns.
If you're into meat, please note that the burgers are as natural as you're going to get at a chain restaurant; they are succulent, meaty and flavourful. I have not had a chance to try to the veggie burger; when I do, I will report back.
I will fully admit I find their fries and combos overpriced. A 5$ burger becomes 10$ with fries and a drink and taxes; to me that boggles my mind, so I stuck with a burger and shared my date's fries and drink.
However, that was my only "complaint", and it's hardly a criticism; I really like the whole "Subway" style of burger ordering, where you can basically put whatever you want on your burger. They have some really neat options like candied pineapple, maple infused onions, wasabi mayonnaise, goat cheese, guacamole, and jalapeno sour cream.
Due to the sensitive nature of Canadian palates, a lot of the bold condiments, like the wasabi mayo, were prepared in a way that made them less spicy. My date made the same comment about the jalapeno sour cream. My date also noticed that they had two mild varieties of Tabasco, but no original, which is more of an observation than a complaint.
None the less, the burgers and fries were amazing. My socks were knocked off. I'm not sure when the last time was that I ate a beef burger, but I will certainly remember that one. I plan on returning!
