The
beer
was
great,
and
fresh.
I
had
an
Irish
Red
Ale
and
my
dining
companion
had
a
stout.
The
beer
was
very
delicious
and
had
a
good
head
and
flavour.
The
nachos
were
about
a
6/10.
Perhaps
a
few
more
minutes
under
the
salamander
to
get
the
cheese
crisped
up.
Chips
were
corn
and
thicker
which
is
good
because
it
helps
them
stand
up
rather
than
get
really
mushy.
Big
points
there.
I
got
this
pub
recommended
to
me
as
one
of
the
best
burgers
in
SJ.
I
had
the
bigger
tide
burger
with
bacon
and
cheese.
It
also
comes
with
sauteed
mushrooms
which
I
opted
against.
Pros:
hand
formed,
fair
size
portion,
fresh
veggies,
and
the
pickle
was
good.
The
tomatoes
were
fresh
though
lacking
a
tiny
bit
of
salt
to
release
their
flavour.
The
lettuce
was
julienne
which
really
makes
the
presentation
on
the
bun
which
was
served
open
faced.
The
cheese
was
good
and
the
bacon
was
flavourful.
Cons:
it
seems
they
handle
the
beef
for
a
long
time
while
forming
the
burgers.
Therefore
the
beef
was
far
too
firm
and
compacted
in
texture.
Loose
beef
allows
for
juices
to
remain,
this
was
very
tightly
packed
like
extremely
processed
foods
which
is
a
shame
for
in
house
food.
It
also
felt
like
they
didn't
pat
the
meat
dry
before
cooking
meaning
there
was
steam
introduced
reducing
the
maillard
reaction
for
beautiful
crispy
browning.
The
bun
seemed
to
also
have
been
pressed
to
a
thin
crepe
rather
than
the
fluffy
luxurious
one
it
likely
started
out
as.
Finally
although
seasoned
well
they
seem
to
have
put
oregano
in
the
mix
which
detracts
from
the
beefiness
of
the
hand
formed
patty
when
a
nice
sea
salt
and
pepper
open
would
really
allow
the
beef
to
speak
for
itself.
I'm
also
confounded
that
restaurants
seem
to
continue
to
choose
the
Costco
style
egg
wash
french
fries
when
we
have
access
to
beautiful
New
Brunswick
dark
russet
potatoes
grown
right
here
in
our
province.
Please
I'll
pay
an
extra
$1
for
the
labour
if
you
cut
and
prep
potatoes
to
make
fresh
fries.
I
post
this
with
the
extreme
hope
that
they
take
on
the
challenge
to
be
the
best
burger
in
Saint
John
as
they
have
a
fantastic
location,
delicious
beer
and
a
friendly
staff.
My
search
for
the
best
burger
in
SJ
continues.
P.S.
my
concerns
were
heard
by
my
server
who
took
my
feedback
seriously
and
was
professional
in
his
demeanor.
