My reason for coming here today was all the good things that I had heard from people about their burgers. I am a bit of a hamburger junkie.
But once I saw the menu and spoke with the owner who was serving, I ordered a
Smoked meat sandwich.
Now I always find ordering a smoked meat outside of Montreal a risky thing. First off, most places can't seem to tell the difference between smoked meat, corned beef and pastrami. But the smoked meat here is from Lester's in Montreal and served on rye bread with yellow mustard. Just like in Montreal.
Secondly, most places seem to use a machine sliver for their meat. Some even brag about how thinly it is sliced.
Here, just like in Montreal, the smoked meat is hand sliced in nice thick slices. A nice medium fat. Lean smoked meat just isn't done anywhere that knows there stuff.
Now the next thing that got me were the French fries! Cut in house and fried twice the way they are supposed to be done.
Now was I surprised that the owner grew up on the block behind the Snowden Deli. Not really.
The place is small but very clean. I also heard that they will soon have soft ice cream!
This place is great!
