King + Bannatyne

Friendly staff. Getting our food was very quick. We each had the burger week special King queso with the rhubarb/mint peach tea. I had a side of broccoli coleslaw. Everything was great. The burger was very, very good. They have both a patio and indoor seating at the moment. Nice location in the Exchange.

First time going, and it’ll have to be my last. Was extremely disappointed in the food and the menu. The vegetarian options are a joke here. The mac and cheese sure was… something. The texture of the noodles was like they had been half cooked and then left to sit on the line in the hopes that the heat would carryover cooking them (it didn’t.) Cheese sauce was about the same consistency as glue, and there was no flavour of jalapeño whatsoever. Fairly expensive for the food too. The only good thing was the iced tea, but it came in a glass that was tiny and absolutely packed with ice, so there was about four sips of it to enjoy :/ Staff were really nice though!

Pricing is for rich people: sandwich (medium sized) + small soup is about $20 after tax. Beef brisket sandwich was surprisingly poor - only two items... fatty raw beef and dijon mustard. The only part of the sandwich I enjoyed eating was the nice thick bread. Staff were pleasant and respectful. Restaurant is small but cozy. Bathroom was clean and nice, accessible when first entering restaurant. For me, it has to be 2/5 because the pricing is outrageous for two ingredients on two slices of bread... which I really disliked the taste of (dijon) and texture (raw and fatty).

We've heard great things about this place for a while and finally got down to give it a try yesterday. It was so good we went back today. And plan on going tomorrow as well. The bread is fresh and tastes like it's fresh out of the oven a minute before eating it. Same with the buns. Amazing. We've tried the brisket, Buffalo chicken and sweet potato sandwiches so far. I can honestly say they're some of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The brisket was done perfectly. Full of flavor and prepared perfectly. The Buffalo chicken is spicy but also done perfectly. It's not an overwhelming hot. I'd highly recommend any of the sandwiches. We chose to stick with the potato salad and weren't disappointed. I was delicious! This isn't your mom's potato salad. It's got a modern twist. There's no heavy dressing or bloated feeling after eating here. It's a big meal and you can taste the quality in the ingredients so it's a great value for a meal cheaper than most restaurants offer. I keep meaning to take pictures but it tastes so good we end up eating it all first. Maybe tomorrow!
