What you’re looking at is the first real meal I had all day after a 7.5 hr drive. I got the 1861 burger with clam chowder soup. It was $22.25 before tax and tip. This burger was amazing. The patty was good quality as was the potato bun. This burger consisted of a phenomenal combination of feta cheese, carmelized onions, bacon jam, mayo, lettuce and tomato. When I tell you I was scooping the carmelized onions off my plate, I WAS. Perfection. The bacon jam was prominent and sweet, which mixed extremely well with the creamy feta cheese. The flavour profile on this burger was astounding. The clam chowder wasn’t an extra cost and tasted homemade with real potatoe chunks and bacon chunks. While it didn’t have a strong clam taste, it smelled like it and it honestly just tasted really good. What surprised me most of all was a man walked over and placed a $15 coupon on our table without saying a word. It was extremely appreciative! Never even got to say thankyou. So here is my thank you! I highly recommended this spot. The service was attentive and kind. The vibe is really of a local bar but a step up. Great food and great atmosphere.
