    July 2017 - A quick lunch on a Sunday drive. This was a great find. We decided on sharing a few appetizers and ordered Crispy Deep-Fried Garlic/Dill Pickles with a Cucumber dipping sauce, Lobster Poutine on Lattice fries & white Gravy and Grilled Shrimp and Roasted Crawfish in a Tomato Butter sauce with corn on the cob and sweet corn bread. We were very impressed with each of the items and the good service we got from Kelly, our server.

    The $5 Sirloin Burger!

    Stuck out on a country road, 1812 is a quaint thematic roadhouse, with rustic interior, licence plates on the wall, and lots of charm. I stopped in with an associate for a quick dinner after a busy day. There was one server on duty, two guys at the bar and one family of 4. Service was a bit on the slow side based on the work load. The menu is pretty interesting. There are some very non-roadhouse non-barfood offerings. I had the Lobster & Shrimp Po Boy, and my associate had the Braised Beef Sammy. We split the meals to have a sampling of each. The Po Boy had some of the freshest and most perfectly cooked seafood, just not a lot of it. The Beef Sammy was fairly generous on the beef, but also a bit too generous on the untrimmed fat. The special caught my eye--a Sirloin Burger for $5! Add cheese for a dollar more and I had to order one just to try it. This is a substantial burger, well charred, and makes the fake beef pucks from McD's look absolutely pathetic. See the photo if you don't believe me! This is what I call a "magnet joint"--if I am anywhere in the area, I will be attracted to 1812. A bit more polishing and a bit more attention from the service staff, and I could bump 1812 up to 5 stars! Update: stopped in for a quick meal. I opted for the Lobster Mac & Cheese. It arrived in a large casserole dish, with curly macaroni, and a chunk of cornbread. The pasta was perfectly al dente, and the sauce was smooth and nicely lobster flavoured. The downside: I didn't find a single piece of lobster. I did see the occasional fiber of what looked like lobster, but without some hearty chunks, I couldn't be sure. 1812 seems to have a great menu, but so far every dish stopped at 95% of outstanding. A few tweaks, and 1812 could be a destination restaurant.

    1812 Grillhouse is a restaurant that specializes in southern comfort food. It is situated kiiiinda in the middle of nowhere (in Bradford, just north of Schomberg, on the side of a highway.) We had heard some good things, so we decided to trek out from Toronto to check it out. The interior has that country-like vibe. Wooden tables and furniture, with a pub like ambiance. There's also a little shop near the right of the entrance that sells assorted knick knacks and is worth checking out (there was a banana nut candle that smelt so delicious I wanted to eat it.) We started off with some mixed drinks but no one was particularly pleased with theirs. I felt mine was a bit watery. I drank about a quarter of it and gave up and went to non-alcoholic drinks for the rest of the night. Food-wise, here's what we had: Deep Fried Pickles: if I see this on the menu I cannot NOT order it. The pickles were super yummy and very juicy, but the breading fell off and they were very lightly coated. Chicken n Waffles: Two small pieces do boneless breaded chicken (one white meat and one dark meat). The chicken was okay. The waffles were nothing special and I think they maybe frozen/pre made. Very lacking in flavour and served with both syrup and strawberry sauce. I usually eat my chicken and waffles in the same bite so I left most of the strawberry sauce alone. I found myself thinking that I've had better chicken & waffles at chain restaurants. Meat platter trio: 3 small portions of fried chicken, steak, and sausage. Again, okay, but nothing really stood out as special. Peanut butter pie: quite yummy with the consistency of cheesecake. Pumpkin brûlée: mmm. This was the highlight of the meal. All the awesome parts of pumpkin pie mixed with the amazingness of creme brûlée. I would eat a vat of this stuff. Plus, who doesn't love cracking the sugar top!? Overall, it was an okay meal. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but if I was in the area I'd give it a second try (to try the shark!)

    I'd give this a 3.5. Service was great and accommodating (allowed us to sample the chococherry stout and also gave a scoop of ice cream on the side with coconut rum cake). Waitress (Jess?) was very attentive and friendly! We ordered lemon blueberry sweet tea, Santa rita wine, shrimp & crawfish app, memaw's meatloaf, peppercorn steak, brownie bottom cookie dough cheesecake, and coconut rum cake. All were pretty good except for the steak. It's a cheap cut and pounded very thin, which made it hard to be cooked rare. It was served to us closer to medium done. It wasn't that great and definitely not worth the $25 price tag. At most I would consider this a $15 meal or just removed from the menu completely to focus more on the southern food items. The sweet tea and appetizer were the best part of the meal. The dessert was okay but nothing stunning and a little overpriced ($10/each). At best it should cost $6 or $7. The coconut rum cake would be better paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and woukd be more appetizing. I would definitely consider ordering the meatloaf again but would probably try other items from the menu. The mac and cheese side was extremely underwhelming and plain. Overall the atmosphere was cozy and it was a decent experience.

    Sirloin Burger and cider with Jack Danials....yummy!

Out group tried the Biscuits and gravy, shrimp Benny and brisket Benny as well as fried green tomato, kids apple johnny cakes and grilled cheese. The portions are generous. The chicken with the biscuits and gravy were 2 pieces of brined dark meat chicken served on a biscuit and collards smothered in pork gravy. Chicken was very juicy and super crunchy, collard needed some acidity, biscuit was light but a little overdone and gravy was not as fat a decadent than in the south, lighter but still tasty, wish they poured it a little more generously. The fried green tomato was outstanding as the accompany silly aioli situation was great. Kids apple jonnycakes were a hit and loved the hot chocolate with mini marshmallows for the kiddos. Gtilled cheese was a hit - got the pull and the bread was well toasted. The home fries were a bit of a let down. Although very cool and layered, they seemed very greasy, maybe oil or flattop wasn't hot enough? Benny's were both good, shrimp cake was well cooked and crisp and brisket was flavourful and moist. Hey have no waiting area and take no reservations. Use their call ahead service and enjoy

Not fall off the bone as they were the year before. Pulled pork - not good at all. Had a vinegar flavour and really disappointed. Brisket - incredible and to die for. Al least one dish was great. Fries and slaw were very good. Burnt ends - for $17 you got 5 pieces swimming in a sea of sauce. 1/2 were flavorful and 1/2 so rock hard and impossible to chew. Overall this is the worst experience we have had with this take out. We get takeout every year once or twice each time we are up in the blue mountain. May need to try a chain like Montana's next time as we were so disappointed this time.

I found it funny cause almost every item has the "favourite" symbol but everything tastes good! I love the decor inside. Lots of lights, florals and greenery. There is limited seating though since it gets busy - Maybe 10 tables of 4 on the outside perimeter and another 5 tables of 4 on the inside. We got the razor clams, 12 wings and beer special (after 8:30pm), smoked beet and pig ear salad, brisket and ribs and bun bo hue. The 12 wings and beer would have been such a good deal except the drink was pretty watered down. We brought it up to the waitress so hopefully they change that in the future. The wings were crispy,m and delicious. The razor clams tasted good too, but it only comes with 4. The smoked beet and pig eat salad was one of our favourites! Unique, flavourful and good crunchy textured. The brisket and ribs were another favourite. Tender and flavourful. The bun bo hue was good too. Service could have been better. One of the waiters wasn't that friendly. We still had a good time though and enjoyed the food. I would come back to try their other dishes.
