One of my Canadian friends just informed the rest of the group exuberantly that she found a place…read morethat serves poutine! I am not a poutine connoisseur, but the menu revealed lots of enticing sandwiches, many of which have an American deli look to them, so my husband and I ventured off to investigate for lunch one Saturday. Love the look of this new place - big menu on the wall, enticing displays of porchetta and other meats, as well as yummy homemade sweet things on display. We ordered at the front, and then our food was brought out to us at a communal table. We shared a salt beef sandwich, which tasted a lot like those back in my home country. Bread wasn't as good as a proper American deli, but the flavor of the pickle and the mustard adding a tang to the corned beef (aka salt beef) was so familiar. The meat was really tender and felt fresh, not heavy and oppressive as these big sandwiches can seem. We got a side of kracklin with apple jam - this is, of course, pork rinds (fried skin/fat). It's crunchy like a bag of crisps, but tastes like pork, which is weird, but also kind of delicious. My husband wasn't a massive fan, but I like all things salty and crispy, and thought the apple jam alongside was fantastic. We met one of my friends there by total coincidence, who got the poutine, and said it needed more cheese. She was impressed that they actually managed to find cheese curds, as they don't seem to exist in the UK, but they get them from a local dairy. Win! One of the owners said she was surprised and excited by how well the business was going, and hoping to expand the menu even more soon - right now it's just a couple of sandwiches and sides, albeit very creative ones that you can't get anywhere else. A welcome change from the usual boring sandwich shops you find everywhere, we'll be back for sure!

Poutine should have a thick, rich gravy and the cheese curds should not be cold. The french fries were OK I guess but I want something more for my money than just OK.

Holy Smokes. More like "Holy Smokes, where is our food"?…read more So... I bet you're probably wondering what happened. Apparently there was a "problem with the kitchen", which meant we had to wait a very long time for our food. However upon closer inspection the problem was probably the kitchen as a whole, as on my way to the toilet I got a good look at the serving area. It was grimy and covered in an off putting assortment of foods and slop that must had slipped off of the plates and been left to fester. Upon the eventual serving of our food we were missing 2 of our orders. We assumed that they would be there shortly....they weren't. We ended up having to inquire about the missing meals with our waiter who as it turned out had forgotten to put our other orders through, meaning we had to wait for them to be cooked too. On top of that, despite the cokes we ordered at the bar litteraly being clear and not black/browny coloured, we were served them anyway. We also had to enquire about getting some that didn't just taste of sparkling water and that actualy contained the syrup... And that isn't even the end of it. The food also tasted like raw onions, the bacon, the burgers, the brisket. EVERYTHING. All in all, the service was bad, food was bad and the hygeen was bad. 0/10, would not wait for food again.

The neon light at the window tells you whether you can still have a burger, or just the Manhattan Mist green cocktail which I like the most. The bar seats are thought triggering and the bartenders are very polite and prompt. It is neither America nor Italian, it is traveler's. Good for educated people.

Quite possibly the worst mcdonalds we have ever had the misfortune to visit; we did think that…read moreperhaps this was a fluke, but occasional visits over the years have not improved our original impression. Generally, you'll be told to pull your car into one of the bays to wait on your food - this happens even if there is no queue and very few customers in the restaurant....your food then arrives lukewarm delivered by a sullen member of staff. We once received a full credit for a meal that had fries that were so oversalted that we very nearly vomited on tasting. Overall, lacklustre food from equally lacklustre staff who you can tell would rather be working anywhere else apart from mcdonalds.

Good. On top food and only just adequate service. Ambiance is that of an American style diner.read more

There is something for everyone like all Frankie and Benny's the menu (both food and drink is the same) but the service is excellent, they'll do anything for you and they're never in a hurry. Everything is good about it, the atmosphere, the staff, the music and the menu selection. Food has always been good quality and service pleasant. It's open late and they never hurry you out, the place will stay open until the last person leaves!
