Tips:
- Hometown Grill and Heritage Market have the same owner.
- The pork schnitzel is the best.
I was driving along highway 12 and noticed a sign for Hometown Grill. I was curious and looked up the address. I then headed over here for a late lunch last Monday.
This eatery is located in a small plaza with a lot of parking. I backed into a parking spot and walked in.
There was no one in the eatery. I waited for a woman to come out of the kitchen. She was apologetic and thought that I had waited for a long time. I hadn't. I was able to sit anywhere.
She gave me a few menus. She had chicken noodle soup as a feature not on the menu, but no specials. I also got to see the regular, drink, and dessert menus.
I ordered the following items:
- Pink lemonade
- Schnitzel plate
For the schnitzel plate, you can choose to get pork or chicken. I went with the former. I also went with mashed potatoes. You can also get fries. It came with gravy and coleslaw, with a slice of lemon on top.
I got a glass of water. It was cold. It hit the spot.
My pink lemonade came out next. It was so pretty. It has strawberry syrup, lemonade, fresh mint, and many sliced strawberries. It was refreshing and yummy. I loved the strawberries. The lemonade provided the right amount of tartness. This drink was mildly sweet.
The schnitzel plate came out next. The woman asked whether I wanted hot sauce. I was okay without it, as it came with gravy, which was perfect.
I got three pork schnitzel pieces that were pounded thinly. Each one had the crispiest coating. Each piece was yummy. It was the best schnitzel that I have had in a while. Excellent!
Frankly, everything on my plate was excellent. The gravy was smooth and full of flavour. I poured it on my schnitzel and mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were buttery and perfect. This dish was comforting. The coleslaw was creamy and crunchy. It was so fresh.
My plate looked like I had licked it clean. Everything on it was so good.
I wanted to get the Russian honey cake to go. Sadly, it had sold out, which meant to me that it must have been yummy. It wasn't on the dessert menu, but she described a strawberries and cream swiss roll. I said yes and got to take it home.
I paid with a credit card. I tapped and tipped. The transaction was smooth.
I went to use the washroom. It's a single stall. It was extremely clean.
The strawberries and cream swiss roll was excellent. It was slightly sweet. The cake was moist. The strawberry flavour was perfect. I barely tasted the cream, which I liked. I'm glad that I got it.
I loved dining here. I want to drop by again to try more items on the menu. If you're in the area, come here. It's good comfort food.
