| - With a name like Big Moe's you walk in with larger than normal expectations. You expect, big portions, big taste, big value and maybe a big dude behind the counter. Many of these items were not to the scale that I would have hoped but most importantly the flavour was certainly BIG!!
Located on the south-east corner of Kennedy and Steeles (behind the gas station directly across from P-mall), you'll need to maneuver your car quickly or risk missing out on the slightly hidden entrance to the cramped parking lot for Big Moes and 4 other businesses. Pro-tip go one light further east on Steeles, turn right and park in the GoTrain Milliken parking lot - because it's a 2 minutes walk away and the Big Moe's parking lot is a recipe for a fender bender.
The purpoe of my visit was to try the famed Juicy Lucy burger. Now what is that? Well my burger budd, the Juicy Lucy is a burger creation which originates from the Minneapolis-St.Paul area of Minnesota. The concept is that you have a layer of cheese baked into a 5 oz beef pattie. What's especially unique is that Big Moe's is the ONLY place in the GTA or Toronto whipping these up. Verdict? Great tasting beef, fresh, melty cheese, however I wasn't over the moon for it. It was slightly overcooked for my liking and the cheese really didn't stay inside (rather it was leaking through all sides of the burger). Other versions of the JL that I've seen on TV tend to be a larger burger which is able to contain the cheese to it's center - there was nothing inside mine so I was a little disappointed
Tuesday is Cheeseburger day where you can get a standard Big Moe's cheeseburger (4oz) for a mere $2.50. In speaking with the staff here I learned that they are out the door crazy busy on those nights, with some folks ordering 10-15 burgers at a time. I'm sorry I don't care it they're $0.99, what family or work crew is eating 10-15 burgers at lunch?? Gluttony is one of the 7 deadly sins remember folks... tsk tsk. So with that in mind be advised that wait times will be longer than normal on these days.
Big Moe's used to be famous for their spiral tornado fires but they're no longer available on the menu - sad. What is great is they're still whipping up possibly the finest Funnel Cakes around. Thick and crispy dough base which is soft and warm on the inside, topped with ice cream, powdered sugar and strawberry sauce. So bad for me... but so damn good!!
Overall this place is A-OK, maybe I was there on an off day, but while things were good for the most part I was let down by the burgers construction itself.
Eatcrest Out!
