In recent years we've opted for turkey stuffed turkey breast instead of the whole bird because the smallest one was 15+ lbs! The quality of meats here is always remarkable. The staff who have been working here for years are always friendly, knowledgeable, and work around this shop like a well oiled machine. In pre-pandemic times, they would offer a free Christmas dinner in a cup where you could add everything including cranberry sauce and gravy and enjoy it while you wait for your order to come out. My suggestion is to order well in advance to get on the list. They are doing drive through/car pick ups right now as well.

Staff are pleasant and always and WILLING to listen which is a rarity in the Hospitality Industry. I know I spent 40 years in the business in all different capacities. Operations, training to franchising. With AI having an impact in all businesses especially the banking and food service business, there is no hint of any staff cutbacks at Denningers. The complete opposite impact is prevalent. The food is always fresh from the kitchen at the sit down restaurant where schnitzels, sour kraut, bockwurst, potato fries are made to order from a very nice sized menu but simple enough to not confuse customers. Latte's are also available as well as tea and assortment of cold drinks. Seating area is large enough to seat 100 people easily and lunch time is packed. Outdoor seating is available and so is a beer with your meal. The retail store has a bakery, butcher for all your meats, cold cuts and cheeses and lots of sampling takes place during the week. The store is immaculately clean and spacious washrooms are available for those trips after consuming a cafe or an alcoholic beverage. Great place to complete some paperwork while enjoying a latte. I am so glad that the Denningers has only improved over the years and they are pillars of the community in Hamilton, Burlington and Oakville. Having moved to Calgary for 22 years I missed my visits to Denninger's and their high quality foods. Bravo Denningers of Burlington Mall you have me as a customer for life!

They retail for $7.99 for 85g bags, but the bags in the box were smaller, weighing in at 57g The thing I like about their beef jerky is that it's tender and soft-ish. Not really hard or excessively chewy that your temples hurt after eating a few pieces. It was pretty salty, but all beef jerky is. My husband who likes gamey meats said it was a bit gamey. However, I don't like gamey meats, and I didn't find it particularly gamey. So take that for what it's worth, lol. I like that it's a small independent Canadian brand. Would eat it again. (64)

A-1 Meat Shop In…read moreterms of butchers and providers of unbelievable meat (including Halal meat) A-1 is at the top of my list. Ever since I first had a taste of their pre-marinated meat, I knew it would be a lifelong partnership between us. A-1 started in England and was very successful, so much so that they opened one location in Vancouver and then another. With continued success they opened up a location in Brampton and have been hard sorting peeps out since. From the shop I or my peers will order multiple pounds of the following and proceed to BBQ it via indirect heat for upwards of 35-45min. This ensures that the chicken remains tender juicy and not dry and burnt/charred. Yellow Chicken Wings: This is my favourite marinade at A-1, it is stunningly sweet spicy and savory. Many a time have I eaten multiple pounds of these wings in one sitting, they are so good once you have one you can not stop. This meat is worthy of converting vegetarians. Red Chicken: You may be thinking tandoori but it's not exactly tandoori. I would say it definitely has some tandoori influence, but is definitely A-1's proprietary marinade. Effin' delicious. This chicken is typically available in drumstick, legs, breasts and wings. Red Fish: The fish they use is White Fish and it has the same rub as the chicken above. This item is borderline unreal and if you follow the indirect heating procedure you will ensure you get the most out of this fish. The key is to not overcook it and move it around too much, or the fish will break apart and become dry. Other than the above A-1 also has regular chicken, lamb and other meats for sale. The Brampton location typically has their Red Chicken drumsticks in a rotisserie throughout the day to satisfy patrons who can't wait until they get home to cook the chicken. Order a few pieces from the rotisserie and they will hit it up with garama masala, lemon and massive chunks of onion...Heavenly. The dudes that work at A-1 are very nice people and patient with you if you're a first timer. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and flavour of the meat, the storefront and atmosphere is approachable and clean, and their website is solid with great pics, pricing and even recipes. Definitely my favourite BBQ resource.

My party of four visited during Taste of Oakville, and in hindsight, the evening foreshadowed…read moreitself early -- the restaurant's website was down with a 404 error, and we kept finding two different addresses (one apparently their old location). We eventually found it. Upon arrival, the door swung open and struck a seated guest -- a sign of just how small the space is. The restaurant was full except for one four-top (clearly ours), and we stood awkwardly in the entrance -- which is essentially inside the dining room -- waiting to be acknowledged. When greeted, we were asked if we had a reservation. We said yes. "Table for eight?" we were asked, which felt impossible given the size of the room. We clarified four, and were pointed to the only open table. No name was requested; we realistically could have just walked in and taken it. The space is starkly lit with aggressive bright white lighting that feels more clinical than cozy. The artwork is interesting and gives a gallery-like feel -- it seems the restaurant is aiming for a downtown Toronto wine bar aesthetic, but it doesn't quite land. Our table was missing water glasses, and the stemware was mismatched -- not in an intentional, charming way, but more in a "we ran out" way. Once seated, we weren't acknowledged or offered water for nearly 20 minutes. Not rushing guests is one thing; leaving them feeling forgotten is another. When our server finally arrived, the service set the tone for the evening. One glass of water was poured before he realized another was missing. He disappeared, returned with a glass, inspected it mid-pour, then walked away again (dirty glass). After several more trips and long gaps, everyone eventually received water -- about 15 minutes later. He was polite and friendly, just clearly untrained. He shared that the owner is also the sommelier, cook, and server, and that he liked working there because he wasn't expected to know much about wine -- an interesting admission for a wine bar. The owner greeted us warmly but asked only one guest about wine preferences -- ironically the only non-wine drinker at the table. The concept appeared to be sommelier-led, though this was never explained. If that is the intention, engaging the entire table is essential. That said, the wines themselves were enjoyable; the service surrounding them was not. The Taste of Oakville menu promised three curated 3-oz pours paired with a charcuterie board for two. The pours arrived unevenly and slowly, with little explanation of the pairings. The charcuterie boards were plain and inconsistent between tables despite containing similar items -- basic fruit, crostini, simple cured meats, small portions of brie, and two slices of truffle cheese. No crackers, spreads, or thoughtful touches elevated the experience, and presentation varied noticeably. Our second wine pour didn't arrive until our mains, and service moved so slowly we requested a wine list to order a bottle. We were told there is no wine list -- "we're not that kind of restaurant." Instead, all reds are $80 and all whites $70, and the owner selects the bottle for you after asking only red or white. The concept might work if explained upfront; without context, it was confusing. At one point, noticing my empty glass, our server poured me a random red -- which turned out to be the same wine as our first pour -- and then left without serving anyone else. We had to remind staff we were still waiting for our second curated pour. Nothing about the experience felt curated. The most surprising moment of the night came when our mains arrived. As we lifted our appetizer plates -- still holding olive pits, fruit rinds, and crumbs -- the servers told us not to worry about clearing them and proceeded to place our main dishes directly on top of the used plates. I'm still shocked. I wouldn't do that at home, let alone expect it at a Lakeshore, or quite frankly, any restaurant. Two of us ordered the tagliatelle, which was tasty but contained only two small pieces of short rib -- and was difficult to enjoy while staring at discarded rinds beneath the plate. The other two ordered brisket sliders: two sliders, no sides. They tasted good but left diners hungry. One guest joked they kept thinking the fruit rinds were fries -- unfortunately accurate. We tried to make the best of the evening, but it never delivered the cozy wine-and-charcuterie experience we had anticipated -- dim lighting, thoughtful pairings, something special. After finishing our meal, we requested our bills and reminded staff we were still waiting for the third curated pour. We were told "five minutes." Those five minutes never came. Eventually, wanting simply to leave, we paid a single combined bill and sorted it out ourselves. Dinner for four totaled $460. This was not the boutique Lakeshore dining experience we expected, and ultimately, it was deeply disappointing.
