Hadn't been here for a while and as always was really looking forward to it.
It was after 1 PM and the restaurant was at least 75% full. I heard people at other tables telling their servers that they were in from Toronto and other places. No doubt that this is a must go to place for a lot of out of owners.
The restaurant was clean. The hostess and my server were very friendly. The desert case was full of phenomenal looking treats. For me it's nice to look at but I'm always stuffed by the time I finish my meal.
I ordered the Super Smoked Meat plate (medium fat) that comes with fries and coleslaw. The coleslaw and the fries are some of the best in town. The rye bread is awesome. Of course I was there for the smoked meat.
This time, I found the smoked meat to taste as awesome as it usually does. However, the meat wasn't as fall apart tender as I have known it to be in the past. It wasn't tough but the texture was different thanI remembered. This is still a four star review. Maybe it was me. Maybe someone pulled a brisket out of the steamer a little early. My past experiences have been so good here that I'm not going to think anything less of the restaurant until I give it another try soon.
