What a cool spot with a hip vibe! Recently made our way here (for the first time) and we sat on the back patio with our friends. Decided to get an appetizer, then share a couple of dishes while sampling their brew options.
I chose a stout beer and we settled in to wait for our cheese curds, which the server told us was a MUST. He was right. The cheese curds were pillowy on the inside, crunchy on the outside and served with an amazing / zesty marinara dipping sauce. Not your typical cheese curd, but something much more special altogether.
Our "standard" Banter poutine (why not start with the basics, right?!?!?) was perfectly balanced with crispy (but soft inside) thick fries, hearty brown gravy and generously sized cheese curds. So rich, so decadent, so filling! We also took a bite of our friend's Banter Disco poutine with sloppy joe, cheddar and yellow mustard...very much like a chili cheese version and also quite delicious.
The porcini bratwurst was an unusual mix of flavors (with grated cheese and wild mushrooms) but it was quite tasty. Looking forward to trying other varieties at our next visit...and the WILL be a next visit!
