The vibe is great, the food is qual', and the drinks are a'flowin! I popped in for a night cap (or should I say day-cap?) after receiving some pretty awful news; the judge is revoking my supervised child visitation rights. Those kids need a father, and "Josh" or whatever sure as hell ain't man enough to teach em about the cold reality of the real world. The guy grew up rich and has no idea what's going on. He wouldn't even fight me in the parking lot of Specklebelly's this morning after he picked up the kids. Maggie is going to come crawling back to me any day now, once she realizes what a chump Josh is. I just miss my kids Anyways, the blonde bartended dude, I think his name is Ryan, is totally legit. He got me real good and tanked. I was eating cheeseburgers, I was doing belly shots (which is kind of their thing, hence the name Specklebelly's, although in this case the speckles were vomit, shout out to Kevin!), at one point I did a keg stand. A random dude brought in a piñata and we got him super drunk. Kevin disappeared and I was like "where the fuck is Kevin?" and then he came out of the bathroom wearing a wedding dress! I was like "what the fuck!!!" I was laughing my ass off. They did last call at a legally appropriate time, but that sure as shit didn't stop the party. I was super impressed by the level of finesse executed by Ryan when he wouldn't let me drive home. He told me he'd arm wrestle me for my keys. I knew I probably wouldn't win because Ryan is totally yoked out, like he might even be on steroids, which would certainly explain his anger problems and his extremely short fuse. He went pretty easy on me when we were armwrestling, almost letting me think for a second I was going to win and be able to drive home, but then SLAM! He took my keys and wouldn't let me drive. For a minute I was pissed, but then Kevin reminded me that I'm on probation for some shit that went down a while back. It was November of 2003 and I was going through a rough time. The Saskatoon Blades, my favorite hockey team, had just lost the championship. And Maggie was pregnant with out first child, Walter (Shout out to Walter!). We were in the parking lot outside of the SaskTel Centre arena and I was totally losing my shit. I put her in a headlock, but one of those fake headlocks where you give somebody a noogie, it was funny, we were laughing. There was an undercover cop in the parking lot who was a Moose Jaw Warriors fan and he felt like showing off or something so he sprayed pepper spray in my face. That's why I'm on probation. Anyways, I fucking love Specklebelly's. Thanks for the good times!

I got the Bruschetta Chicken Fettucine - I normally don't get fettuccine since I can make at home…read morebut bruschetta chicken sounds delish! Even tho the name kinda gave it away that there'll be tomatoes (key ingredient to bruschetta), I didn't expect there to be onions as the menu DOES NOT indicate that I of course, picked it all out and gave it to Mr C (swipe to see his burger with it). Flavour-wise, it was flavourless with a hint of sourness to it. Not sure if it's the tomato or onions but I didn't like it. I was fairly hungry so I still devoured the entire bowl with the toast...but funny... I was still hungry you'd think for $20 I'd be decently full...but nope...I ended up ordering their Market soup as one of his friends ordered and recommended it. T H I S was actually good. Hot and plenty of flavour! And stole some of my bf's fries He got Cajun Cheddar Chicken burger and it wasn't too bad. My tomatoes/onions helped make it better apparently but honestly, tho it came with two sides - it's not really worth the $22 ‍ After the rush game, we ended up back at OJ's again for post-game food and drinks. I got their traditional poutine since it was a happy hour special. Ate about 60% of it; didn't finish cause it was just too salty. My bf got their Dynamite Tempura Shrimp. I was surprised this actually tasted pretty good! It was, however, a bit too saucy for our likings. Will we go back? Maybe if we meet up with friends but we wouldn't go as a date with just ourselves.

Despite only eating at this establishment twice, I very much enjoy this restaurant. As a picky…read moreeater, I always keep it simple with chicken and fries. Let me say, the chicken they serve is top notch, crispy, good portions and perfectly delectable. May I also say the fries are delicous, you can tell they are made in house and are very crispy and I appreciate the size of each individual fry. You get 5 chicken fingers with a full plate of fries underneath and the last time I went I was so hungry I ate it all. Ughghgg literally craving it as I speak. Also it's a very affordable place if your also looking for a nice relaxed atmosphere. Would recommend

So the visit to State and Main last week was very hit and miss…read more Starting with the hits. We ordered the Friday night cocktails ($2 off) and here we have the New York Sour and Mexican Bulldog The New York Sour was absolutely AMAZING It's made with whiskey , egg white , sour mix and red wine . Seems like an odd combo but honestly it had the perfect tart and wine taste. I was with three other guys and they all loved this drink and would recommend it to everyone! That's how good it is For the Mexican Bulldog, I personally only thought it was only OK but Mr C liked it. It's definitely picture worthy tho! The glass was biiiig with a mini corona in it! Now for the miss. The French Dip. I loooveeee beef dip at most places so I was hoping I'd love it here too but unfortunately...no. This is made with shaved Angus beef, mushrooms, onions (which I opted out), horseradish mayo & Swiss cheese with au jus. As I was eating it, I actually forgot there's mushroom in it cause I couldn't taste it at all (not sure if this is a good or bad thing?) and the au jus was just way too watered down and seemed more like a broth than the usual au jus (a thicker liquid). I did finish it all but I wasn't very satisfied with it. The side poutine, on the other hand, was actually very delish! Lotsa flavour and every without the cheese and gravy, the fries itself was enough to make the entire meal better. it did spark a discussion with our group tho - should restaurants bring ketchup with fries or should customers have to ask each time? Lemme know in the comments below! Another miss would be our server. It was Friday night so it was busier but we still expected them to put in a bit more friendly customer service. Our friend ordered his drink and wanted to order food as well but before he could, the server walked away right after the drink order. Throughout the night, we had to constantly wait for a long time to be able to make another drink order. This was probably the most disappointing part of our dinner experience. We'll still return but hopefully it'll be a better service experience.

Luckily our friends had scored a table for six and we had somewhere decent to sit. Two of us shared a pizza and a bottle of red wine as we listened to an artist singing and playing the piano. All very good. Although tasty, the pizza was a tad expensive. The staff were excellent.
