The Third

Could not have asked for a better addition to the neighbourhood. Good and affordable food and drinks. No-nonsense menu. Friendly staff. Non-pretentious. Clean. Perfect little local watering hole. �

Came with a friend from out of town to catch up. Servers were attentive and made sure to top up coffee. Simple menu and not too many choices (a good thing). Reasonable prices. I had the breakfast nachos - delish - and a jalapeno cheddar scone. Both were excellent. Love the decor and the music. Whole vibe was relaxed and friendly. Will definitely be back!

They define the third place as a neutral public place where people can gather and interact; unlike the first place(home) and the second place (work), the third place allows people to put aside their concerns and simply enjoy the pleasure of good company. This was definitely apparent as soon as I walked in - the interior atmosphere is super cozy! The restaurant is long and not too wide, with a variety of tables, high top tables, and bar seating. There is lots of wood and the colour scheme is predominately green, which is really calming. I started off with the Salted homemade potato chips ($3), which came with a really rich more-ish dip - so good! I love when the chips are BIG and crispy. Crispy chicken sandwich ($12): southern fried chicken, carrot & jalapeno slaw, pickles, spicy mayo, homemade potato bun. This had a THICK piece of fried chicken! It protruded out from underneath the potato bun, and was satisfyingly crunchy. Great value too, with thick cut fries! Roasted brisket ($13): Must-try in my opinion! This was with corn chutney, slaw, pickles, sweet potato mac n' cheese toast, BBQ sauce. Mmm...this brisket was TENDER. It had the right proportion of lean and fat meat, and melted in my mouth. Even better when put on top of toast, with the corn chutney/slaw/pickles! AND the mac n' cheese was RICH. I would order just a large size of it if it was available! Dessert was as milk and cookie ($3): how nostalgic! The chocolate chip & walnut cookie was WARM and not too sweet - soooo good dipped into milk with each bite. Nex time I'll be back for brunch!

Great service. Great atmosphere. Damn good food and cold beers! This is the kinda spot you want in your neighborhood.The Chicken Sandwhich is top notch.
