Food was delicious here! Definitely one of the better BBQ's I've had in the west coast. We did…read moretheir regular feast and I thought the sausages, brisket, pulled pork and chicken were absolutely delicious. The rack of ribs unfortunately for us was dry and was my least fave even though I prefer ribs. The cornbread and French fries were really good and our friend ordered their special corn ribs that day and those were unique and top notch! Side of Mac & cheese was also Definitely worth the stop! I'd pass on the ribs though unless the batch we got that day happened to just be a meh batch.

Special shout-out to the heavenly cheese selection and the cute and clean premises. They also have an Italian pork jowl that I can't find anywhere else in town.

Although the staff at McLean's was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and I did get hooked by…read morethe nostalgic story of the place, I was kind of unimpressed with McLean's. We got a LOT of stuff there, including crackers, pate, cheeses, jams, and a bunch of other items, all of which sort of flatlined. Now, in McLean's defense, the pate and cheeses were the only things they brought in specifically under their name. And the place was EXTREMELY cute, and they served sandwiches, and the owner was friendly and on premesis, and they'd let you bring wine if you wanted... ...but really, everything flatlined. The fig crackers tasted like prunes. The sheep's brie was overly strong in flavor, almost off-tasting. The porter cheddar tasted like...plain cheddar. The pate was bland. One standout was a cheese (I forget the name) which had a line of gorgonzola down the centre. Really, of everything we bought, this is the only thing I'd consider re-purchasing. Now I don't want to rule this place out based on one trip, but it *was* expensive (some of the crackers and jams were way over-priced) and I *was* disappointed, considering how it's touted around town as being wonderful. I like to support local businesses, so I will be back to purchase a significantly smaller portion of cheese. Till then...

We stayed in the store, so our experience included some pretty eclectic cups, silverware and plate, but that seems to be the vibe here at The Vault. The barista was all smiles, too.

I've been to chachi's in Edmonton south common and the food was good so I decided to try out this location. So I tried the spicy mac'n cheese, the macaroni was well over cooked and soft, could have used more spice and more cheese. The Philly was decent the bun had an crispy exterior and a soft interior. The seasoning was middle of the road and honestly their could have more cheese. The lemonade was ok nice and refreshing.

But this is ridiculous....I pay extra to have a gluten free bun and it's not close to the size of the regular sandwiches. I do however want to commend the employees as they took great care of making it, changed gloves, washed surface that it was prepared and cut on...added parchment to oven pan to melt the cheese. But I would not recommend this for other GF peoples on the point of overpriced and under filled.
