We were here to try their well reputed wood fired pizza. However, arriving here I learned that they have open BBQ kitchen and BBQ meat items cooked on the grill on the menu. So we changed our mind to try more than just pizza!
We ordered:
- Cheese burger (came with potato salad, a piece of pickles and coleslaw)
- Brisket 1/2lb
- Margarita Pizza
- Poutine (classic)
The most impressive food was Cheese burger. Generous meaty double patties, caramelized onion, and melty cheese were sandwiched by brioche buns. Well excused, simple pleasure. One negative is that I did not feel enough charcoal flavor that I expect from BBQ place.
The brisket was also good. Tender, and it came with a small container of beef gravy. I liked it! The gravy had well rounded flavor, depth, and consistency. But again, I wished that the meat had more charcoal flavor.
Poutine was good. Nothing outstanding but generous volume. I am not sure if it is real cheese curd though, but the cheese was not shredded, came with chunk. The brown beef gravy was addictively good on the fries. Considering the size, $10 was a good deal.
The most disappointing was Pizza. No wood fired flavor, and the dough was kind of dry and hard. No bubbles, no chewiness that I look for in wood fried pizza dough. I am also against using parmesan for margarita pizza, as it totally kills the pizza's simple delicacy. It had mozzarella and fresh basil, which was good. Tomato sauce was good too. And again, it lacked wood fired flavor that I expected from this place.
I think I will come back for their meat and burgers. They were simply delicious. :) read more
