Horrible experience for a supposedly nice place to eat. Waitress didn't know how to make drinks on their menu and blatantly told us she didn't know how. Ordered eggs Benedict and both orders came out cold because waiter forgot about us (wasn't busy). Took another 30 minutes for them to remake our food, still came out cold. Was there over an hour and 30 minutes. When we stated we weren't happy nothing was done. Don't recommend spending your money for brunch here. Feels like I flushed $80 bucks down the drain. read more

Love the entire menu. even if I ask for my salad not grilled they beyond deliver and their croutons are amazing, homemade and fresh. I've bought their pre-made meals also when I'm working and just don't have time and have yet to be amazed. Always delicious. The restaurant is quaint and cozy the husband and I have definitely lunched and enjoy the date nights. Front store we Love it bought our bread box, local honey and candles regularly.

Ok, just saying, we drove past this restaurant several times until someone told us this was not a place that sold marijuana edibles. Who knew. The food there was great and the coffee was good although the coffee could have been a little stronger. The burger I had seemed to be homemade and was tasty. The restaurant seating area is small but there is a pub area and an outdoor patio. I'm told that they were known as a great bakery in times past and there is a bakery still on sight with awesome cookies and Yummy looking baked goods. They also sell knick-knacks. This is a must visit restaurant for your list. read more

Really great place for weekend brunch. Good Bloody Mary and killer eggs Benedict also. Service is a little slow at times but food is worth the wait. read more

This establishment will not sell to you unless you take part in Contact tracing. The Quality of the food doesn't matter when people avoid the business because of the high costs. 8$ + for a small cheesecake slice. Where else can you spend 17$ on a single slice of cake and a coffee. All restaurant items that are offered are cheaply acquired or created, like bread and wheat based items. they do not offer any real meat or seafood friendly meals. read more

Only went here once, so far, and enjoyed our food, kind of forget EM where it's off the beaten path but any time I drive by it reminds me that I have to go back again soon! There's a lovely store with lots of great local items as well as take home meals. Service also great read more

Ok, just saying, we drove past this restaurant several times until someone told us this was not a place that sold marijuana edibles. I've eaten there several times now. The food there has been ok and the coffee was lacking - could have been a little hotter, stronger and more complex in flavour. Their burgers seemed to be homemade and are very tasty. The menu is limited but that's not always a bad thing. After having tried it a few times I decided that I would stick to the burger and avoid the coffee . The restaurant seating area is small but there is a pub area and an outdoor patio. Live music depending on the night. I'm told that they were known as a great bakery in times past and there are a bakery still backed goods available- awesome cookies, yummy cheesecakes and fantastic bread. They also sell kitchen knick-knacks. The restaurant is a little tired, more pub like, lack's comfortable seating and is not as cosy as it could be. Unfortunately, when I have been there it little understaffed so a little too busy to be of great service. 4 stars because of the backed good otherwise 3. read more

- nice dude working at the counter - a lot of interesting and cool products on the shelves ! - great cheesecake & baked goods If I were to be super critical it would be the layout - it is kind of confusing where the counter to order is and where to pick it up at. Other then that it's great ! read more

It's not often that I'm able to check out restaurants that are this far off the peninsula, so while making a day trip out to Peggy's Cove with my wife, we stopped in for dinner on our way back into the city. It was somewhat early for dinner, with us arriving just before six, so we choose to sit out on their back patio on that sunny day. The menu is fairly chef-ed up, but nothing that's overly bold or avante garde. We ended up going with the Wednesday date night special - two drinks, a shared app, two entrees and two desserts for $70. The price was certainly right, and the mains that we wanted were included in their options. For our appetizer, we got the sausage rolls - a classic hors d'oeurve, but made in house. These are one of my wife's favourite things to eat, so it was an easy choice. The locally made sausage had a great flavour and the pastry was nice and flaky, but at $10 on the regular menu, it's a high price point for four little rolls. Thanks to the frugality of my parents when I was growing up, I'm quite familiar with pork chops. Edible Matters' offering, however, is a step up from my dad's overcooked grilled ones, or mom's Shake and Bake (TM) chops. Coming with a sherry and lavender cream sauce, smashed potatoes, and fresh green beans, it was the kind of meal that should be eaten outside on a sunny summer day. The pork was tender and moist, and the sauce had just the right amount of light floral flavour that didn't make you think you were eating fancy soap. The smashed potatoes were a vibrant yellow, with some grill marks from before they were smashed up, and made for a nice change from the de rigeur regular mashed potatoes. My wife had opted for the chicken and bacon rigatoni for her entree, and while it's one of the cheaper ones on the regular menu, it's a hefty dish. The oval plate-cum-platter was piled with rigatoni, the aforementioned proteins, pine nuts, and generous slices of parmigiano, all in a cream sauce that was enough so that everything was coated, but wasn't swimming in it. There was so much to this dish that my wife gave the last bit of it to me to save room for dessert. Over the course of our meal, I had noticed that the patio had filled to capacity and that the flow of dishes seemed to be drastically slowing down, so I wasn't surprised when we hit a snag when getting our dessert. First of all, we hadn't yet chosen what we were going to get, so it was a while before we were able to flag down our waitress to put in our order. Lemon desserts seem to be my thing lately, so I went with their lemon tart brulee, while my other half got a peanut butter tart. There was another awkwardly long wait while the harried waitresses tried their best under the circumstances, but there was obviously issues with understaffing in the front and back of the house. That all said, once we did get our desserts, they were very good. My lemon tart was extremely light and fluffy, and the brulee added a nice contrast in texture. Vanilla bean whipped cream added another layer of decadent richness. My wife said it was the best lemon tart she can remember having. Her peanut butter tart had a mousse-like texture and what more can you say about the classic chocolate and peanut butter pairing? We indicated that we were looking to get out in a hurry for plans that we had, so another waitress snagged our bill and we paid inside. I was a bit disappointed that we were so rushed, because I wasn't able to peruse their in-house grocery area, with various prepared soups, bread and other items.  It's too bad that staffing issues put a bit of a damper on a fantastic meal, but great food is still great food, and that's how we'll remember it here. read more

Very warm ambiance for Sunday brunch, choice of various mimosas or caesar, and eggs Benny.

Where do I even start? This place is, hands down, the BEST restaurant ever! And no, I don't say that as a insincere claim to make you read more. We have looked at this place for a long time and drive by because we were too busy, in a hurry, had somewhere else in mind, etc. My advice? STOP! Don't drive by. Give it a whirl. Some of the quotes from our table: "The best place I have eaten since needing to be gluten free." "It's the best place that I have ever eaten ate. Ever." "I would have paid twice as much to eat here." "It's places like this that make you want to lick your plate." Our server, Heidi, didn't know what to think when my wife said, "you might want to pass this along..." I am sure people assume that a complaint is coming. Not today! Even the fruit was amazing! Out of season and still delightful. Open faced ham and pea sandwich would be worth killing over. For real. And as you leave, a great spot to buy some baked goods. Keep up the fantastic work, folks. We will return! ****UPDATE**** We came back! Super this time, with the whole family. And not a crumb wasted. Again. Keep up the great service and great food!! read more

What I love about Edible Matters: - open airy space with dark hardwood floors and delicious amber lighting. - windows along the kitchen where I can sit and watch them create my meal. - the cucumber lemon water (so good) - the food (at least what I've tried so far) What I didn't love about Edible Matters: .... .... .... *crickets* Right, that's just it there wasn't anything I didn't love about Edible Matters. I think the kinks have been worked out and all is well at this newest establishment off of Hammonds Plain road. We went on a sunny Saturday afternoon and almost immediately knew we would love what the place had to offer in the way of food, atmosphere and just plain old "what a great way to spend an early Saturday afternoon". I had no idea what to expect as we walked in. The first thing that really catches you're eye is that you walk into a "market" like atmosphere. When they say they use local produce, meats and dairy they aren't joking. You can buy the exact same things they are using in the kitchen. That's commitment folks. Commitment to not only saying they use local but proving it as well. The menu is simple. Sandwiches, soups and desserts. But let me make this clear: The food is not simple. It's complex even when coming between two pieces of homemade bread. Meegan and I always go halvies on food so that we get to taste two items instead of one. This time we went with the chicken club sandwich and Tomato Pesto Sandwich. Both a win in my book. The bread was thick cut and toasted to perfection. The chicken club was my favorite of the both but I won't lie I licked my fingers after eating the tomato pesto as well. The homemade kettle style chips were gone in a few seconds. I opted for a bowl of butternut squash soup as a side and it was fabulous (I would have licked the bowl if not out in public) and the bread and butter pickles that accompanied the meal was like a little dessert in my mouth. The only reason I'm not giving it a 4 star? Cause I want another excuse to go back and re-review this place like something fierce. Seriously kudo's to the genius behind EM. This place is new so be a little patient as they work out kinks of being new (Front house staff is a little overbearing if not overly eager to help), but go with a an open mind and a appetite (and someone else so you can go halvies) and you're probably gonna love this place. read more

Ever since they lost half their staff the place has been extremely unprofessional extremely rude staff and the food is now gross and I've been going there for many many years until they were bought out and now the place is gone so downhill I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone I went to get an breakfast sandwich today I don't eat meat and I precipitately told HIM on the phone please NO MEAT on it and then I get there and he tells me that was in specified or maybe if you cleaned the shit out of your ears you would have heard me and you're talking back to the your customers.... I sure do miss the owners and half the STAFF that have respect for customers read more

I have wanted to come by Edible Matters since I heard it opened on the Hammonds Plains Road. It's not in my neighborhood, but any place that fosters fresh and local food is worth the trip for me to try. I was not disappointed. If you're going for the first time here are a few tips: You order at the counter and get a table number. There is fresh citrus water to the left of the counter which you can refill as you like. Wait staff will bring your order over to your table for you to enjoy. There is a full pantry and bakery of local goodies to take home with you. I adore the staff outfits of jeans, white EM t-shirts and black aprons. They had plenty of staff on for a Saturday afternoon and they managed the steady crowd well. I think they are getting into their groove since opening, I really think this spot is an amazing addition to the Hammonds Plains area. Its a beautiful space, perfect for brunching and for sunny day lunching. I'm especially excited about taking a venture out on a rainy cold day as fall and winter approach to hang out by their fire place and enjoy a hot drink from their espresso bar. read more

Meh. While I love the baked goods and take out we tried dinner for the first time tonight and it's not great. Food wise: Reheated, over cooked burger. Goopy salads. Dry chicken. House chips were good. Ambience: Nice room but loud campfire singer guy. Might be good at 10 but at 6:30 when the whole restaurant wanted to talk it was weird. Service: good. Stick to take out and lunch. You can do much better for dinner. read more

Today was the first time that my husband and I tried Edible Matters, and we will definitely be coming back! This restaurant & bakery has a perfect balance of cozy atmosphere, great food, a variety of special teas and coffee, and they support local farming. They also have many gluten free and vegetarian options so everyone can enjoy their meals. We came during the weekend brunch. (I recommend coming early, because by the time we left around 12 noon there was a line of people waiting to be seated and the parking lot was so full that drivers were getting "creative" finding a spot to park in.) My husband had the Chicken and Waffles: the chicken was fried nice and crispy, perfectly seasoned and the sausage gravy was deliciously rich! Also, the waffles themselves were beautiful and fluffy. I had the EM Breakfast Biscuit sandwich: the biscuit was crunchy on the outside and soft and buttery on the inside. It had a perfectly cooked fried egg, crispy bacon as well as home made pesto. It came with a side of kettle chips and pickles. Yum! I should have taken another photo to show off how good it looked once I cut the sandwich in half and you could see the inside, but I couldn't resist just eating it. I also had my eye on the Smoked Salmon Lovewich, so I think next time we go I'll give that a try. read more

So, it's 1830 and dinner is in the oven, when the power goes out. It's either BBQ from frozen or hit the trail. Difficult choice. We'd been meaning to try Edible Matters for dinner ever since we first visited last year, so here was the perfect opportunity. To cut a long story short, my daughter ordered the night's special, pasta with chicken and sausage; wife went for seared haddock and I chose the free range chicken. All three were nicely prepared, though the sauce with the haddock was assessed as a bit too thin and the fish was a little dry at the edges. The pasta was superb, with a very generous portion of chicken and two varieties of sausage, one of which was quite spicy. As for my chicken .... On the first bite, I remembered what chicken used to taste like when I was a kid. For the most part, today you get water saturated, chemically injected meat flown/shipped in from God knows where and it tastes of nothing. Not this beastie! Subtly flavoured, perfectly cooked, succulent. The veggies were superb as well. Two out of three ain't bad and we will definitely be back. read more

I went to EM for the first time today to celebrate my friend's birthday over brunch. The food was delicious, servers attentive, and the new pub has a great atmosphere. I had the tomato pesto sandwich with prosciutto and my friend had the French toast. Both meals were very good. I topped mine off with chocolate chip and chocolate decadence cookies and she had the carrot cake muffin. There wasn't a crumb left on the plates!! I'm looking forward to my next excuse to drop by EM :) read more

I had a pleasant time at Edible Matters - really friendly staff, good service, and decent food. Unfortunately, my French toast was a bit anemic - very little browning on the outside and not really custardy enough on in the inside (my friend's gluten-free version was much browner). It was tasty, though. I enjoyed the housemade yogurt, which was pretty rich. The out-of-season berries tasted okay, but the cantaloupe was pretty nasty. My disappointment might have just been due to poor ordering - my friends enjoyed their eggs benedict. It was fun browsing all the edibles to take home. The pastry case didn't do much for me, but I liked the sound of some of the ice cream flavours. I noticed the gluten-free bread was pricier ($9.50) than grocery store versions. read more

We visited Edible Matters for brunch this past weekend and it was a fantastic experience. There was a bit of a wait, but the staff were quick to acknowledge it and were really friendly and polite. The food was fantastic. I went with the eggs benedict with roasted potatoes and it was delicious. The coffee was great and the fresh baked bread we brought home was excellent. Edible Matters is everything you want from a brunch spot - lots of natural light, beautiful decor, amazing food, and lots of smiling relaxed faces. It doesn't hurt that they have an amazing selection of fresh baked sweets and all kinds of delicious breads, teas, preserves, and various other tasty things available to go. This will no doubt become our go to brunch spot. We can't wait to come back and try out lunch or dinner sometime as well. read more

Despite being a stone's throw away from my place, I had always just driven by wondering what goes on in there.. Well I finally had the right combination of hunger and timing to be able to drop in there with my four year old twin nieces. The waitress was very friendly and immediately brought out a kids menu which included all sorts of things kids like, as well as cartoons to color with the supplied crayons. We were seated right next to the windows that look down on the kitchen, and the twins spent most of the lunch mouths agape as they watched all sorts of delicious looking cakes, brownies, cupcakes and cookies being carefully put together by the kitchen staff. Lets just say the rest of the day the kids were so sugared up it was like they were running on nuclear fusion. They each got a hotdog, which they (uncharacteristically) completely devoured. I had the calamari and two cups of soup (the butternut curry and the chickpea). Both soups were delicious and hearty and were gone much too fast. The calamari was sublimely tender, not overcooked and chewy at all, breaded with gluten free chickpea flour... made for an awesome alternative to the overly greasy and chewy calamari one often encounters these days. On my way out, I was impressed by the number of gluten free breads and baked treats available. My only reason for deducting a star would be the parking/location. That part of Hammonds Plains road can get very busy and the parking lot is awkwardly situated. It seems like an accident waiting to happen, and feel that the restaurant would have been much better served with an enclosed parking lot, but thats just my opinion. Otherwise would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone since they cater to just about every dietary restriction and requirement out there, and in a very delicious way at that. read more

Not impressed. Modest interior with constant visitors walking on a side. Not very welcoming staff.

I have been here twice for brunch and have been pleased with the food. They seem to put a lot of thought and effort into it. On my first visit, I had fried chicken and waffles (which is actually just a single waffle, if I remember correctly, so a slight misnomer) and I enjoyed the chicken so much I ordered just double chicken, no waffle on my second visit. The chicken comes with a white, savory and creamy sausage gravy that is just delicious. They have nailed their fried chicken. The coating is wonderfully crunchy and seasoned perfectly to my taste. The only complaint I can register is that my glass was left unfilled for 15-20mins and I got pretty thirsty. read more

Stopped here for breakfast and it was spectacular! The bacon breakfast sandwich was crisp and not at all soggy, served on a home made biscuit. Fish cakes were filling and light without being over fried, but the tomato chutney was a harmonious accompaniment. The cheddar biscuit on the side was light and flaky. Coffee was fresh, hot and well refilled. Latte hit the spot. Highly recommend that you don't miss this place! read more

Considering Edible Matters has been open for a while now and everyone has been pretty much raving about it since day one, I can't stress enough just how skewed my expectations were. I was picturing a little takeout, sandwich and soup joint with a handful of tables, and one server hanging out behind the cash. Wrong wrong wrong on all counts. Edible Matters is a bakery and large-ish sit-down restaurant (with a takeout option). When I arrived for a quick grab-and-go, it was clear from the line-up to the door and the packed dining room that I wouldn't be getting back to the office as quickly as I'd thought. On the plus side, it gave me a chance to appreciate how beautiful the space actually is. This ain't your average diner, folks. The hard-covered menu has everything from breakfast and brunch to nighttime dinners, from espresso concoctions (JavaBlend beans) to a couple of local beers. It's pretty easy to see that this must be a godsend for people who live in the area. Like, why would you go anywhere else? I had my order all boxed up and ready to go in about 15 minutes or so which actually wasn't as bad as I was expecting. The mushroom burger turned out to be just massive, topped with herbed goat cheese spread, tomato, lettuce, and an onion ring or two, along with a serious serving of really fresh kettle chips. It was more food than I probably should have eaten at just $11 ($14 or so with tax/tip). The burger is vegetarian and a nice hybrid between the ground veggie style patty, and the 'pretending to be a hamburger' soy version. For those of you who are overly invested in veggie burger construction like me, you'll be happy to know it held its shape, had a nice crunch to the outside, and was well flavoured. I never felt like I was just eating those lousy portobello caps that restaurants always throw at us. I don't think I can justify the weekday lunch run given the time investment, but I'm looking forward to making my way back for a brunch or dinner adventure when I have time to stay in. All in all though, it lives up to the hype and then some. read more

After the closing of Janes I contemplated the meaning if life. I mean lets face it brunch is the Savour, I'm not even religious. Luckily, acting on a tip from the daughter of Jane's owner right before they closed I finally made it to EM. It's a bit far off the beaten downtown route but well worth the trip. Parking is sparse at this location and its off a small highway so I suggest carpooling if you are in a big group. The place exudes essences of Jane's. It all seemed familiar somehow. Same thought my brunch companions that day. Which is a good thing. Well great actually. In the front waiting lounge are fridges and shelves full of homemade jams, soups, pies, ready made meals. All looked done well and there were GF options. it was busy on the Saturday we went so there was a bit of a wait. The dinning area has a nice atmosphere and reminded me of a ski lodge for some reason. Probably the attic like roof and the fireplace. The kitchen area was glasses in so u can see all the food being prepared. Kinda neat I thought. You can also spy in your food and know when it's coming! But what about the food? Usually when I am at a new restaurant I like to try their infamous plates or whatever seems slightly outrageous but good. For me this was the waffles and deep fried chicken served in a sausage gravy. What can be crazier than that for brunch? really? I also ordered a mimosa to start. it was made I noticed from freshly squeezed OJ bc the foam was a pure fluorescent orange and thick. It was delicious and thicker than usual mimosas. Finally my meal came. It did not disappoint. The gravy with the sausage bits was brilliant. I love sausage as it is and then u put it on my chicken ? The chicken although being deep fried did not taste gross or grassy like say KFC would. mind u there is always a place in my hangover heart for KFC. respect. I also ordered the home baked potatoes and bacon as sides. Gotta have variety and bacon I always say... The waffles were golden brown and made from a great batter. Almost the perfect texture. The maple sirup was real and none of that fake artificial drip most places use. Overall the meal was amazing for a first experience. I'm going back this week. My curiosity had been spiked. What better achievement can a place have really? Job well done. read more

My boss brings everyone and their dog to this restaurant. It's the new heart of Hammonds Plains, I kid you not. Before I mention the absolute delicious food, let me mention where it all came from. HERE. Local. The manager told me that the product they use that had been brought in from the furthest distance is a wine from Ontario. Now, that's a business. Not only did they create 30 jobs in a place that is BEGGING for options for employment, they are dishing out the most fabulous food. Like some other restos in Halifax, you can watch your food being made. The kitchen is a floor below the dining floor, so as you wait for your food you can see the cooks, who are for the most part NSCC grads (awesome!), spoon your soup and perfectly plate your meal. It's outstanding. Now, the food. I have to be honest here. I was there for lunch and had the Butternut Squash soup because I finishing an extreme fight with strep throat and couldn't handle crusty, solid food. Now, while the soup was awesome, the sandwiches my friends had (mainly the Pesto Tomato) had me drooling. Oh, how I wished I could have had one! Next time! Finally, these folks make their own everything. They package them and sell them in their own storefront (or Pantry, as they call it) at the entrance of the reso. Bread, jam, tomato sauce, desserts and I believe I saw something called Onion Jelly? Whatever, I don't care what it's called, I bet it's delicious. If you're in the mood for a meal that makes you sit back in your chair and say 'holy crap, that's good', come out to HP for dinner. Bear in mind that this place is pricier then your chains around down, but your paying for top notch quality. You have my support, Edible Matters. Go forth and prosper. read more

Oh yes I'm a fan. I've been to Edible Matters twice and both times was blown away by the quality of the food they serve. First though, a bit about the place. When you first walk in and see the loaves of fresh bread and local produce on the table, you know you're in a nice place. The vast, bright dining room is very inviting. The only wonky thing currently about EM is the fact that you order and pay at the counter and they then deliver your meal to your table. It seems a bit awkward for a place of this quality but I've heard this might soon change. On my first visit, I had a BBQ duck sandwich, served with homemade chips and sweet pickles. It was excellent. The meat was flavourful and moist, and the bread was amazing. I also had the soup of the day, which was a cream of celery. Yum. For my second visit, I chose to go with their lunch special, which was gnocchi with beef cheek. The texture of the gnocchi was spot on; I have rarely had better. The sauce was so rich and had clearly had a generous splash of red wine before being reduced to thick goodness. The beef cheek was so tender, you could tell it had been braised for a while. I am looking forward to visiting EM for supper soon! read more

One word can sum this place up! AWESOME! The space has been set up perfectly, the atmosphere is amazing, the food is tremendous, the staff are kick ass! This place kicks brunch in the mouth!

This was my second time here; the first time it was late afternoon and everything was picked over save for a couple loaves of breads and a few tortes. This time I stopped by around lunch, ostensibly to get my son a cookie, but also to see what all they had. I got the broccoli with smoked cheddar soup (came with a delicious, moist tea biscuit) which was amazing! My son got a ginger cookie, which he hoovered down. There are jams, jellies, pickled items, baked goods, cookies, mini loaves, sweets, sandwiches, soups and more. You can see into the kitchen to watch the food being prepared, which is fun. I will definitely be back! read more

What a great spot! Just had a small lunch there today but will be back (maybe tomorrow with my daughter... I think she'd like it!) Everything is brand new and funky oh and clean clean clean!! We were just ordering lunch and as it says in previous write ups... you order at the counter and they bring it to your table. So you help yourself to water/cutlery/napkins. The water's in big jugs either cucumber or lemon. Great touch folks!! I had the butternut squash soup which was amazing. Lots of flavour and a nice little kick to it. Hubby had a meatball sandwich which came with pickles and potato chips. I had a bite of his... YUMMY!! great flavour!! I'm hoping if i go back and get a sandwhich that you can maybe order carrot sticks or celery or something lighter than chips. Hubby didnt have the pickles so i ate them... BAM! they're soooooooo good... home made flavour so obviously home made!! 5*s for that!! Things are served in funky plates/bowls/boards. Also a great touch... someone's very creative!! I like the presentation!! It doesn't take much to jazz something up and they seem to understand that So as also mentioned you can view the kitchen with the cooks prepping food etc and it's CLEAN! you give them a smile and they smile back... really nice!! Lots of good looking dessert items and muffins etc... maybe i'll try that when i'm not watching my calories. Give it a try... enjoy the atomospher... take home a loaf of home made bread!! that looked good too. I'LL BE BACK!! read more

I had heard of Edible Matters, but had never stopped in until recently when we were moving furniture a few weekends ago. Our relatives live out that way ( us in Clayton Park) and drove by EM probably 6 times that day picking up furniture and taking it home. Each time we drove by the parking lot was full, too full for the bf to even think about stopping even with my begging and pleading.. Finally, after our last load and picking up my car again, the lot was sparse enough for his liking and we ventured in. It is now after 3pm and they are working from their Bistro menu. It's a smaller menu but had a a few items that we were interested in. We each ordered a sandwich; I had a smoked meat and he had a chicken club. Both were served with homemade kettle chips and pickles. These were not just your ordinary sandwiches though, they were piled high with fresh ingredients and were just as tasty as they looked. ( we all know looks can be deceiving) . After finishing up and awaiting our bill I noticed a table near us that was set up for an evening meal with menu's placed on the table. So I took a gander at the dinner menu, which looks quite good too. Even the bf mentioned going back for dinner sometime.. We paid at the cash as our server told us too. The lady at the cash seemed a little confused when we didn't have a bill to hand her. But that was dealt with soon enough.. We also grabbed a couple cookies to go; chocolate chip and molasses for desert. Our first impression of EM was a good one and we;re looking forward to heading back for brunch and dinner! read more
