After work my sister and I were looking for some greasy grub in the yonge and bloor area when a blackboard listing daily specials calls my name "Cuban Pulled Pork" BINGOO......although the Pork sandwich wasn't today's special I had high hopes it would be on the regular menu none the less......and it was!
(I later found out that the daily specials are just regular menu items featured at a discounted price...about a $1 off)
The decor in this place is completely outdated.....they desparately need restaurant make over to knock on there door. It has an early 90's feel, its dark and dingy with pool tables in the back and a long bar along one side and tables on the other. However what it lacks in beauty it tremendously makes up in Taste.....food taste that is!
That fact that they had Cuban Pulled Pork in the first place blew my mind.
And it was Delicioussss. Chunky pieces of smokey pulled pork piled high on a freshly baked pretzel bun with tangy mustard and dill pickle and coleslaw providing the perfect balance to sweet meat.
We also got Smoked Roast Beef au Jus which was also really good! Real slow roasted beef with a smokey flavour sliced thin and stacked high with melted swiss cheese piled on a fresh baked baguette. Another winner.
And the Fries......... oooo the fries were sooo goood!!! They make their own fresh cut fries and boy you can totally tell the difference! Perfectly cooked golden brown not overly crispy but not too soft just perfect!!
Service also great! Although it wasn't very busy when we were there our waiter gave us plenty of time, checked on us regularly, filled our water, and even brought us a selection of hot sauces.
Don't let the decor get the best of you here Try the awesome sandwiches that are served on fresh baked breads and the Grrreat Fries and friendly service!
