| - Since I am a new "yelper", and many of you do not quite know me yet, I have to make two things very clear....
Beef and Beer.
That's pretty much what it takes to make this girl smile. And smile I did, after I had my first Boneyard burger experience this past Saturday.
This weekend my sister and brother-in-law were visiting from North Bay and after a 4 hour drive they were getting hungry. And let's face it, North Bay has slim pickins' when it comes to "non-restaurant chain" choices. So, naturally, I searched YELP for hamburger places and landed on "Boneyard Grill". Why not? I ate like a rabbit all week, i'll treat myself!
The place was super easy to find and had lots of parking. Covered with a small awning, it is quaint and has lots of character. Inside they had TVs showing sports, of course, what else do you watch while eating a burger!? Perfect!
The staff are super friendly, sat us right away and were quick to bring the first round of beer!
For my meal, I chose the mushroom and swiss burger with a side of half an half fries! Brilliant idea. You get the best of both worlds, half yam and half regular fries...I found my inner monologue screaming " WHY DOESN'T EVERY PLACE OFFER THIS??"
When the burgers came we all dug in and for the first time ever we were all speechless. Not a word was spoken. Coming from a family of outrageously loud English people, this is strange.
The burgers were cooked perfectly, medium well, just as I like it. Tender and juicy but did not fall apart. The fries were shoe string style, perfect for yam fries (as they cook better) and served with a side of homemade chipotle mayo. Need I say more?
Speaking of more... I'm drooling again.
Take the time to try this place out whether its with your buddies, family or even a date. Yes, it has great date potential. And yes, you can take a girl on a date to a burger place...well, this girl anyway!
Hot tip: If you go Saturdays their special is a sirloin burger for 9.99 with fries! It's pretty much the same price as a "chain" burger joint!
Let me know what you think!
Cheers,
Tiff
