| - Came here on a weekday night, and it was relatively quiet, with only a few other parties in the restaurant. We were seated quickly, in the dimly lit, colourful space. Despite what other reviews have said, the music wasn't too loud, and I was able to hold a comfortable conversation with my friend. It's a cozy little restaurant that quickly transports you to a much more intimate space, despite being in the middle of Union station.
We both ordered the truck stop sandwich, which is a super tasty version of a hot turkey. It's based with a piece of bread, loaded with a mound of chunky shredded chicken, and covered with peas and peppercorn gravy. It comes in a skillet like dish and is intended to be eaten with cutlery. The bread was soft, but didn't melt, the chicken not overly shredded so it still felt like you were eating real chicken, the peas were a nice bite, and the gravy was DELICIOUS (I love gravy, and this was one of the better ones being not too salty with actual peppercorn taste). We made the mistake of ordering fries (which were tasty with a side of piri piri mayo), which were wholly unnecessary because of how large the sandwiches were.
Service was super friendly, and very warm. Our server was kind but unmemorable, but Luke (who either does a little bit of everything, or is the GM of the place) was really nice and incredibly personable.
I will definitely be back for more of their truck stoop sandwiches (and eventually to try the friend chicken)!!
