Grilled cheese, tots and beer! Winning combo. I love a good jalapeño popper so even though I didn't trust them to be good on a sandwich, I gave the MBF a try (two cheeses, jalapeño poppers, marinara). It beat my expectations and then some. It was cheesey and rich but not greasy. A well balanced sandwich. The homemade ketchup was great. The only thing missing was a pickle.
The tots with nacho cheese were just what you'd expect when you want some tots. I think they gave us a small order though we asked and paid for a large.
The one local beer on tap (Cold Garden East Calgary Lager) was the perfect match for the sandwiches.
Service could have been better (the two servers were chatting with a customer
-friend and took a while to acknowledge us) but it's not the kind of place you go to for the service. The location is unexpectedly small and not super comfortable (tiny low stools and thin pillows on the benches) but totally fine for the 30 minutes you'll be there eating. Think of it like a food truck with minimal seating and your expectations will be correct.
It took around 10-15 mins to get our two sandwiches and tots, which was fine while we sipped our beers.
Cash only! (There's an ATM at the gas station across the street.)
We will be back.
