i'm happy to see that this booming business has opened their second branch quite close to my area. as per the original location, the decor is prohibition-esque, full of wooden hardware and dim lighting.
the food here is excellent. some very nicely done southern cuisine with cajun & creole highlights, which is rare in mississauga. to start, our party ordered the thyme fries and the cornbread. both were delicious, but the fries could have been cooked a bit longer to give them that crisp crunch.
i ordered the blackened rainbow trout from a seasonal menu. i usually expect a dominant black pepper flavour out of "blackened" items, but this one lacked that. however, the fish was still cooked to a nice medium well, it was tasty by itself, and the spinach-mushroom fettucine it was served over was simple and complemented the trout well.
others from my party ordered the etouffee (seasonal), half bbq chicken with rice (also seasonal), and the notorious b.i.g. burger, all which were great.
aside from the southern food, it seems that door fiftyfive prides themselves on a large whiskey selection, and they do have quite an extensive list of that. i tried the suntory toki as i've been dying to try japanese whiskeys, and was pleased with my dram. the beer list here is decent, showcasing some good entry-level craft brews, so i wouldn't mind coming back for a beer.
all of this is topped off with some excellent service, as our party was frequently attended to with friendly attitudes. then again, we dined on a tuesday night so there weren't many other people there lol. highly recommended!
