| - Summary: easy-to-miss pub along Woodbine serves mediocre food, has a great selection of drinks, and top notch daily specials
Top Must-Get: Daily Special - in our case, Wings!
Top Regret: Three Yorkies...
Another post-game food adventure on a late Wednesday evening. This is a tough spot to find if you don't know exactly where to turn as the logo is big but a rather unremarkable grey in colour. Going north on Woodbine, it's the third set of plazas after Steeles. If you see Frankie Tomatos, you've gone too far (look for the bright yellow MILANO FOODWORKS sign)!
Once you get there, the British-themed pub has got some goods. It was a fun and loud atmosphere when we got in, and turned out to be KARAOKE night (every Wednesday, folks!)
It was my third time here, and having been dealt the responsible driver card, I didn't drink - but I fondly remember enjoying their selection here before. In fact, this was my first time coming here for a MEAL!
Service is sound. It was fairly busy (and from what I recall, usually is at night), but we were greeted, seated, given the option of menus, turned them down, changed our minds, and got them back. They've got these mildly interesting fold up menus and it can get confusing trying to track down where everything is (THE WINGS ARE ON THE BOTTOM LEFT!) because they do have a lot.
But let me get this out of the way: if you don't know what to get, JUST GET THEIR DAILY SPECIAL.
A good number of our team got the Wednesday special, which was a pound of wings for $10. The cajun rub is actually pretty good here, but what stole the show was the GHOST PEPPER WINGS. They have a seething, slow kick, and will present a toasty lip burn - not the worst spice we've had, but certainly not something you'd want after an exhausting game of hockey. BUUUT, it is entertaining to eat as ateam, and, once you get past the spice, it's actually really good!
Another friend got the Cheesy Spinach and mushroom baked penne, with garlic bread. True to it's name, this sucker is fairly cheesy (moreso than my yelp puns) and was decent. The garlic bread had a unique tinge of taste that I can't quite put my finger on - it wasn't your regular garlic bread (nevermind that it was served in a heart shape - I guess it was the week of Valentines?)
Lastly, the three Yorkies - a combo of Yorkshire pudding, mashed potatoes, and beef. In theory, delicious. However, I can say honestly that it wasn't particularly impressive. It had a funky taste to it, and was definitely smaller than I thought was worth (not $12!)
Ultimately, though, everyone who got the daily special seemed to be a happy camper, so that's what I'd go with if I came back. They have a different food and drink each day - Rickard's Red on Saturday, and Heineken on Mondays look like good deals!
