| - Hole-E-Shit!!!! What a fantastic experience! I'm floored by this place inside to out, top to bottom - HOLE-E-MOLEE!!!
In the interest of time and space I am going to keep this short(er) - at least by my standards.
Location: About 10 minutes drive north of Hwy 7 @ 427, along Regional Rd 50. Not as far as some nay-sayers would have you believe. Located in a mini plaza which has an ultra modern Starbucks, HBB and a Popeyes chicken (I think we know who the star of this trio is).
Decor: Set up to be casual fast food dining. Meaning that with their wood grain table tops, urban inspired stools and lighting, cool bar with a variety of beer on tap - you can either grab your grub to go and shamefully devour it in your car OR you can feel good about having a beer or two while eating your mondo meal in style.
I had the pleasure of trying A LOT of their menu items, rather than go into foodpron sextriptions, lasting hours (I mean paragraphs) I'll list the items and my thoughts:
- Chili: Made fresh in house, great full flavour, more of a tex-mex style. Mild in flavour so it's good for everyone - I would have loved the opportunity to kick it up a notch with some spice (I likes my chili firey)
- Deep Fried Pickle Spears: Standard, well cooked, great size however - larger than the average portion/service size. Chipotle and garlic aoli were wonderful!
- Warm Quinoa Salad: Served with goats cheese, piri pri - a delicous warm, healthy side alternative to the fries. I'm making this at home FOR SURE!
- Sweet Potato Fries: Steak cut (wide and long) perfectly cooked, not droopy or mushy as can happen often. Well seasoned, great crisp and texture. THE BEST SWEET POTATO FRIES in GTA
- Poutine: They claim they make the best and would put it against ANY poutine in Toronto/GTA. Gotta agree. That gravy, the cheese curds and those fries were all on point. This is a claim many make - but this poutine is a bloody art-form. Each layer masterfully prepared
- Greek Salad: Served in a skillet, well layered, all ingredients super fresh, big chunks of cucumber, peppers, onion, black olives. A great dish
- Baked Mac N' Cheese: I said it in store... and I'll say it here "Sex in a pan." Given the choice between sleeping with a Playboy centerfold and this dish, this dish wins 9 times out of 10. Maybe even 10/10. Like it's kind of weird how this dish made me feel all squirrley after just one bite. Mouthwatering amazing! Baked in a skillet with a healthy layer of bacon on top, tons of thick cheese sauce and perfect cooked macaroni
Last but not least, the reason for my visit, the burgers. HBB is known for their skirt burger (a burger made with a crispy melted cheese skirt as a topping, but they also do a monthly burger special and this month the special was too good to avoid - The heart attack burger. Made with more meat than you can shake a stick at, my first quadruple bypass encourages you to visit them to try this manginicent mound of meat-a-tarian mastery.
Pfft - so much for keeping it short. Bottom line - ya gotta try this place.
