| - It's got potential, but little things need to be addressed.
Co-worker and I went their for a Thursday lunch. Surprisingly, it was quite empty, where the udon noodles spot next door was packed. A minute after ordering my drink, I got to hear from the back, "Hey! Tell your nephew not to drink all the ice tea!" That, was hilarious. We ordered a bucket of bacon to start; the waitress told us their bacon is cured in-house. Thick slices with really great pork flavor in the meat. However, every strip was more than half lard and their is nothing more gross than a huge chunk of fat.
I got the Bridge Burger with poutine and me co-worker got the tomato soup with grill cheese. First off, that gravy in the poutine, was the best gravy I've ever had in any restaurant in Calgary, ever. Sooooooo good! I will definitely come back for the poutine. The burger was also quite tasty; well cooked and very juicy. The problem was the 'onion straws' that were on the burger. They were more like well over-cooked onion stones, that literally chipped a tooth (a first!). Co-worker said the tomato soup was ok but thought their might have been too much smoke infused into it, which I agreed with apon tasting it. She was not a fan of the grilled cheese.
Their is good things here to be had, the waitress was friendly and efficient but the kitchen needs a supervisor for quality control.
