| - After passing this place for months and seeing the "opening soon" signs, I was excited to see that it finally opened this week.
I thought to myself - I should support the local business. It appears that others had the same idea, as they had steady traffic going in and out. I think they were so busy that they ran out of bacon a short while later! Oh the horror!
I couldn't get my girlfriend to try it with me. She wasn't up for a bacon sandwich today. With a name like Rashers, they're pretty up front about what you're getting. They do have a vegetarian option on the menu - I'm sure we'll try it at some point.
I'll start with the ordering process. Orders were taken on an iPad connected to a terminal. While this had a modern feel, it looked like they were still getting used to the system. No big deal, as the ordering process was relatively quick.
I ordered the Hogtown Sandwich. It's basically peameal bacon on a Kaiser. I added a Fried Egg, Cheese, and Brown Sauce. The total was $8.92 after tax, which included $1.25 for the Egg and Cheese. My only basis for comparison are the breakfast sandwiches that they sell at St. Lawrence Market. The Rashers sandwiches are a couple of dollars more expensive, but they are made fresh, too.
The proprietor said that my order would take a few minutes. I wondered if I would be in for a long wait, and asked how long it would be. He said about five minutes, and that's about how long it took. A good sign!
As for the sandwich itself? It reminded me of the sandwiches that my (Scottish) mom used to make for breakfast when I was young. The peameal was cooked about right. The fried egg was fully cooked. I'm not sure if I could get it runny if I wanted, but I imagine so. I'm not sure if the brown sauce was standard HP sauce or something else. The overall combination was delicious.
Looking at the menu, I get the impression that these guys had British parents, too. It's a variety of bacon sandwiches in different combinations.
I went back and forth between giving them 4 stars and 5 stars. I'll visit again to see how consistent they are and to see if their other menu items are good. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt because they just opened, and the sandwich that I had was still solid. Normally, restaurants have a lot of kinks to work out early on, but they executed well on this visit.
I've linked to their website, but it doesn't appear to be finished yet. Also, I couldn't see their hours of operation posted anywhere. Hopefully they get those both taken care of soon.
Generally, I'm happy that there is now a place in the neighbourhood where I can grab something quick to go. There are many great restaurants in the area, but not many where you can pick up something quickly and eat on the run. This fills that void. A welcome addition to the neighbourhood.
