It was all delicious! My friends had the Double Smashed Burger, Bison Mac Pizza, Jerk Chicken Pizza, and Beef Tip Rigatoni. I had the Butter Chicken. Everything was really good, with generous portions that resulted in a couple of takeout containers. Beverages included a flight of beer, ciders, and more, all brewed on site. Refreshing. Following our delicious meal, we were treated to a sampling of smoked meats and sides from their smokehouse trailer. As full as we were, we really enjoyed this. It was all good! If you're unfamiliar with Slabtown, you'll have to check them out. They have a huge patio, with covered areas in case of poor weather, wide open spaces, excellent food, ciders and beer made on site, and just a really nice vibe.

I met up with friends at Slabtown Cider last Saturday to celebrate our birthdays. We were a group of six. We made a reservation, which put our minds at ease. There was apparently a two-hour dining limit. We stayed longer, so it's more of a guideline. I have been to downtown Uxbridge. This eatery is in the middle of nowhere, but it's so beautiful when you arrive. There's lots of greenery. The open air was nice. There are apple orchards. It's a charming place. We had a 4:30 pm reservation. I got here at around 4:15 pm. Most parking spots were taken in the main area. Luckily, there was extra parking further back. I managed to find a decent parking spot and backed into it. Mosquitoes love me. I put on my NATPAK patches to ward them off. I love them so much because they work. I reckon that we were here for three hours. I escaped without a single bite. Yay! Two of my friends were out in the patio area. I went to join them. There was a wedding party outdoors. The only downside was having a female staffer tell me that this area was for a private event and I had to go around. As someone who was trying to figure things out for the first time, it was helpful. However, it was her tone that had a tinge of annoyance that I didn't appreciate. It was my first time figuring out where everything was. Cut me some slack. They were in front of the barbeque area. It smelled so good. We relaxed a bit and chatted before we headed to our table that was outside, but under a canopy. The rest of my friends filed in. Two of them have been here a bunch of times. One of them suggested that I take a look at the brewery. It was cool seeing it. We were led to our table. It was spacious and comfortable. We got menus. There was live music. Our table ordered these items (my items have a * after them): Drinks: - Raspberry tea * - Pineapple mimosa - Honey habanero - Beer flight: - Mexican - Blonde ale - Hazy IPA - Scottish ale Mains: - Beef tip rigatoni * - Butter chicken - Double smashed burger with fries - Bison mac pizza - Jerk chicken pizza (2) We got water to start. It was cold and refreshing. My raspberry tea came out next. It's a hard cider where tart raspberries meet earl grey tea. It was fabulous. It was slightly sweet, which was perfect on a warm summery evening. The beef tip rigatoni was excellent. The beef tips were tender and seared nicely. The rigatoni was al dente and fun to eat. It had mixed mushrooms, which I adored. The broth was mushrooms. I could taste roasted garlic. It was divine. The fries are yummy here. Everyone loved their food. The chefs knew one of my friends. They were kind to come out and wish us a happy birthday. They were so generous to offer barbequed proteins with sides to celebrate our special month. I was stuffed. I didn't know if I could shovel more food in me. Luckily, it did take some time to prepare our goodies, so it helped with my digestion. We got an assortment of ribs, brisket, and tender meat on sticks. I didn't know what meat was on the stick, but it was delicious and so easy to enjoy. The ribs had the best barbeque sauce. The rib that I devoured was tender, tangy, and yummy. The only downside to this assortment was the brisket. It was dry and we didn't have any drinks with us. I actually had to rely on eating the ribs with the barbeque sauce with the brisket. We got cornbread, corn salad, and mac and cheese as sides. All three were solid. You could see the corn kernels and carrot in the cornbread. It was yummy and so fluffy. I loved it. The corn salad was excellent. It was like eating elote, but without the corn on the cob. I loved the mac and cheese. The elbow macaroni was perfect, as was the cheese sauce. I used the washroom between our dinner and barbeque. The women's washroom has three stalls. The woman in front of me didn't realize that the middle stall was available. She waited for her friend to come out of the stall on the right. I used the middle stall. Clean. Spacious. No issues. We waddled over to the apple orchard to take photos. A friend gifted me a Grogu plushie. We went to town taking photos of Grogu with food and apples. It was a memorable, wonderful time with friends, good eats and drinks, in a picturesque setting. I'd come back again for more yumminess. (322)

The service was fantastic and all the employees went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time. The ambiance was really nice with green grass, music and picnic tables with umbrellas.

I sampled their entire range which included nine ciders, including a couple of new ones like "Sumac" which gets its lovely colour from local sumac, iced cider as well as their non-alcoholic spiced warm apple cider. All of their ciders are made from Duntroon Parish and Ontario heritage hand-picked apples and are sulphite-free, gluten-free and vegan. They also have a menu of small plates that changes seasonally. During our visit we enjoyed charcuterie, locally made empanadas with nachos and dips as well as the tastiest popcorn topped with garlic seasoning made with garlic grown on the farm. They offer something for the whole family, including your furry friends! From food pop-up events, to live music, to vendor markets, there is rarely a dull moment on the farm. I mentioned that they are a four season destination and one of the highlights of my summer last year was their seafood boil evening. Since my most recent visit was at the tail end of the winter season, they still had their "Winter Utopia" set up which included fireplaces, a dome, and you could still see the signage from their winter snowshoeing trails. I can't wait to see what they have in store for this summer! Inside, among the shelves and fridges, you'll find some of the best local and seasonal products the community has to offer. Black garlic from the farm, Cabin Kitchen ready made meals, Blue Mountain Tea Co. tea, Loco Por El Asado empanadas, Mother Butter shortbread, fresh eggs, local meats and cheeses were just a few of the items they had in stock during this visit.
