Stumbling across some reviews for Brampton, Briskit happened to capture my attention. Gourmet Slow Cooked Sandwiches...mmmm. When I think slow cooked, I think smoked meat. Reading the reviews, my gut was right..slow cooked and smoked meat piled upon different methods of food delivery.
I convinced my wife to accompany me on a Sunday morning to the Orenda location. Briskit has two locations, but the Wilkinson location is only open M-F and the Orenda one is open all week. It didn't take too much convincing, because they had home made onion rings (her favorite) that they made with a gluten free batter (almost everything I think on the menu is gluten free!!).
Off the beaten path of Queen St or Steeles in Brampton, you will find it on the corner of Rutherford Rd and Orenda by a gas station. Family owned and operated, we were greeted by the owners and they asked if it was our first time visiting Briskit. We told them yes and they guided us through their whole menu and answered any questions that they had. This location was also featuring breakfast menu that the other location did not have. My wife and I opted for the Breakfast skillet which consisted of potatoes, Slow cooked beef brisket and pulled pork, eggs, cheese, toast, and bbq sauce, my wife had the BLT on a Kaiser with homemade onion rings. We sat down and the owner brought out a little sample of the brisket and pulled pork in a little ramikin to sample..the smoke flavoring and slow cooking was evident in the meat..very tasty!! Our meals came up pretty quick and we had a chat with the owner.
The Wilkinson location is well known for its Brisket sandwiches, but it is also well known in the area for its burgers. The burger menu has about 8-9 different burgers, but they also feature a burger of the month. This month the burger had Mac and cheese with BBQ sauce on a garlic kaiser. He told me all the burgers are fresh ground chuck with a little beef brisket mixed in, definitely going to order on my next visit. Prices are very reasonable and the hospitality and service was good! A great experience with some very tasty food. I think this is going to be my guilty vice for the while!!
