Cuisine: sandwiches
Meal: lunch
My thoughts:
I've been meaning to try this place for so long, and on this very sunny day, I really had no excuse not to go out for a bit of a walk. I checked their hours before going and decided to go right when they opened for lunch to avoid a wait (my lunch break just isn't long enough for that!)
I arrived at around 11:15am. I came hungry and ready to eat, so I ordered their "colossal" (10 oz) Montreal smoked meat sandwich ($8.75) on onion kaiser bread with honey dijon mustard. And, not knowing just how big "colossal" was, I decided not to order a side. (The other sizes are "huge" at 7 oz and "gigantic" at 14 oz).
My order came within 10 minutes, and one look at my sandwich and I knew I was going to be a happy camper (at least a full camper anyway). With the buns included, it stood at about 4.5-5 inches high.
Then I took a bite. Mm-mm-mmmh! I thought. Now I knew I was going to be a full, happy camper. The meat was lined with a bit of fat, which I didn't mind because it made it very juicy. I couldn't taste the onion in the bread, but the honey dijon mustard pairing with the meat was excellent. The bread-to-filling ratio was also perfect, too. Delish! I'll definitely be back and will order this sauce again, but I'd like to try their other sandwiches.
The colossal turned out to be just the right amount of food for me. I think I may try the gigantic next time or order a side with my sammy. The service was mediocre, but oh well, I'm there for the food anyway. Check this out!
