I came here with a friend after I said I wanted to try something different in Mississauga. Though it's been around for a while, it still flies under the radar, and I'm secretly impressed it's still standing. Walking in, you can still see the Tim Hortons skeleton in the furniture and wall tiles and the way the counter space and ghost-donut racks are still lingering.
But this place is delicious, and keeps their menu simple so they don't mess with what works. So what's awesome here? For $7 (Monday to Friday), they have a fantastic lunch special: jerk chicken (or curry chicken) with a massive side of rice and beans, and coleslaw. The plate is HEAPING. The jerk chicken is two drumsticks and two thighs in an amazing sauce with just the rice level of spice.
So it's a sure win in my books. The one thing that didn't pan out for us was the elusive all-spice drink. Apparently this was the third time my friend had come and each time this drink (with a big spot on the menu overhead) was not available. For $1.50, I would've loved to try it. Maybe fourth time's a charm?
