Knuckle Sandwich delivers a knockout punch with a menu that focuses on quality meat, craft beer, salads, and sides. Fusion of interesting ingredients and toppings makes each item stand out in terms of flavour. There is definitely a chef's approach to the offerings from the busy kitchen.
The sandwiches are hearty and served at a size that resembles a heavyweight fighter's fists put together. In other words - they're massive. Portion sizes are generous, and the prices correspond with the quality of the experience. A vegetarian option is included in the sandwich lineup, as well as three salads for those looking for a lighter bite.
Must-try items:
Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich
Brisket Poutine
The small diner's interior is set up nicely and the staff provide excellent service. Your food will be brought out to whether you're dining in or taking it to go. Expect about a 5-10 minute wait, depending on the size of your order. The brisket poutine ($7) is topped with pico de gallo and guacamole, packing serious flavour. A buttermilk fried chicken sandwich ($9.5) is worth every penny, and a good excuse to come and check out a heavyweight contender for some of the food in the city's east end.
