Station Six

Station Six (Pub, 247 Herring Cove), visited July 8. The Firehouse Chicken Burger was, in a word, huge! It was also served with an enormous mound of thick cut fries. A slab of bacon on the burger was all fat, but when brought to the server’s attention, she brought out an even bigger pile of bacon within seconds. The Baked Mac & Cheese was ok, but not spectacular. Verdict: 3.5 (70%) chance of returning.

The Dairy Bar

The Dairy Bar (Deserterie, 5688 Spring Garden), visited July 1. We miss the old downtown DQ, so the presence of The Dairy Bar just a few steps away takes away some of the sting. The Maple Vanilla Twist ice cream was very sweet, but tasty. The Salted Caramel Crunch Sundae was coated in a delicious cereal, and was a fabulous choice. Verdict: 4/5 (80%) chance of returning.

Metro Pizza

Metro Pizza (Pizza, 6021 Lady Hammond), visited July 1. This slice had obviously been sitting around for a while – it was lukewarm when served, which is too bad because it was probably a lot better when it was fresh. It was a good size and there was a good amount of cheese and toppings, but it just didn’t withstand the test of time. Verdict: 2.5/5 (50%) chance of returning.

The Big Wedge

The Big Wedge (Pizza, 5553 Duffus), visited July 1. A slice of pepperoni and bacon slid right out of the oven and into our mouths. The crust had a great flavour and crunch, there was a very good amount of cheese and toppings, and it was a very satisfying slice overall. Verdict: 4.5/5 (90%) chance of returning.

Shadia's Pizza

Shadia’s Pizza (Pizza, 2764 Gottingen), visited June 26. Simply put, this is the kind of slice you might crave after you’ve had a night out on the town. Our slice was big and cheap, but not particularly good. However, the staff was very pleasant. Verdict: 2/5 (40%) chance of returning

Korca Pizza

Korca Pizza (Pizza, 2777 Agricola), visited June 26. A very flavourful crust, which was a good thing as it was the dominant component of the pizza. It was a bit lean on the cheese and sauce, but there was lots of pepperoni. We’re not crazy about reheated slices, but it was a good feed. Verdict: 3/5 (60%) chance of returning

True North Diner

True North Diner (Diner, 1658 Bedford Highway), visited June 23. The menu was truncated due to the pandemic, but what was on offer more than sufficed. When you see a Buttermilk fried chicken sandwich special, you get it – it was delightfully crispy, yet moist. The cheeseburger was a standard classic. The fries were just ok, but the milkshakes were generous and delicious. Plus, sitting on the patio overlooking the Bedford-Sackville Connector Greenway Trail almost made us forget we were right beside the highway. Verdict: 4/5 (80%) chance of returning
