| - Yet another place in this neighbourhood I'm enamoured with. It's a little hidden (go down a narrow alley about 10 steps and the entrance is on the side of the building) which is kind of quirky but no biggie - though I can't imagine they get much casual walk-in clientelle unless you know it's here (most strangers won't go poking around an alley looking for secret restaurant entrances).
Inside, I was a bit surprised that it wasn't busy at all - this was 6pm on a Wednesday, in the heart of the $2 fried chicken happy hour. I didn't need a crowd so this was actually a pleasant surprise. The place is tasteful and has a reasonable amount of seating, though if it was packed it could become an issue.
Got the $9 dirty nachos and happy hour $2 fried chicken. The nachos, although meatless, had nice soft fresh chips (at least they seemed like it - for all I know they could've been reheated) and plenty of nice toppings. Probably the best vegetarian nachos I've ever had (and that's coming from a carnivore). The $2 chicken was worth ever bite. Nice and crispy on the outside, oozing with moist tender meat on the inside, and with the perfect amount of seasoning. If you like fried chicken, you need to come just for this. Great value for both dishes.
Their only downside from what I can tell is their drinks are a bit on the pricey side, but since I was on a tap water option that night, it didn't really matter. There are a few other items I'd like to try on their menu next time - until then, still thinking about that chicken..
