I had this restaurant bookmarked forever and I am glad I finally got in to try it out.
I did not realize it is an order at the counter kind of place but, whatever, it works for me. You order at the counter and then grab a table. The soda machine is self-serve. The interior is super cute and there is patio seating, too.
We tried the Monte Cristo, the Bacon Cheeseburger, and the country poutine. I also tried a beer flight. Everything was terrific.
I am not usually a Monte Cristo fan but this one was very well made and delicious. Monte Cristos can be very greasy and heavy but this one was not greasy or heavy and it had a ton of flavor. It comes with both jam and syrup on the side. Also, this sandwich does NOT come with a side.
The bacon cheeseburger was very well made and was great. It comes with a side and I tried the hush puppies. The hush puppies were the only disappointment of the evening. They were extremely dense and heavy. The flavor was good but I think lighter and airier hush puppies are simply better. The honey-flavored butter which comes with the hush puppies was insanely good.
Finally, if there is poutine on a menu, I am ordering it. I know it's just Canadian junk food but whatever. SoCal has loaded nachos and Canada has poutine. H Brothers has a regular poutine (with gravy and cheese curds) and a "country" version which comes with gravy, curds, and fried chicken bites. Because we wanted to make absolutely sure we hit 20,000 calories, we went with the country version. They absolutely smother the fries with gravy and cheese curds. I don't know that the chicken bites are necessary but this is a great dish, if you don't mind gaining 5 pounds at one sitting.
They only have a handful of beers on draft but they are good ones. My flight of three beers in 5 ounce taster glasses was very good.
Even though they do not technically have designated servers, one of the workers stopped by our table every few minutes to make sure everything was going well. So our service was excellent.
The menu is very well-written and makes you want to try more things. From reading past reviews, I know there are some hits and misses with the food, but our experience was very good. We would happily return to try out more grub.
