As I stood reading the menu on the chalkboard, I must have looked puzzled because the guy behind the counter came over to explain how things work in this place. I love the concept of picking either a sandwich, poutine or a salad with the various "topping" options.
I went with one of the daily specials: corned beef brisket in sandwich form. It was a rather messy sandwich with a fresh crusty bun heaped with meat , if a bit on the fatty side...but I would way rather pick around the fat knowing that it's real meat I'm eating as opposed to processed any day of the week. The mustard cleared my sinuses nicely (as a good mustard should!) and was very flavourful. Huge meal and very satisfying.
The communal style picnic tables are ideal for the lunchtime crowd when it's hard to find a seat since everyone is sitting alone at a table.
