Grizzly Grill

For those of you who may not be aware, The Grizzly Grill is part of the 'Hub' group, which includes The Brass, Ale House, Stages, Gustos/Legendz/Elysium, the Pizza Pizza building, and the building that used to house Jumbo video. The Hub used to be a family business, but after the unfortunate events at Ale House (then AJs) a few years back, the parts were sold off to the various managers, though there continues to be much cooperation between them.

I somehow manage to forget how big the Grizzly Grill is and marvel at its size every time I go in there (admittedly, not very often). I am also suitably impressed with their menu, which is both large and diverse, though they only one burger, the creatively named "Grizzly Burger". Unfortunately, this is a beef burger, and not bear meat. I would pay good money for a bear burger.

The patty was clearly homemade, evidenced by its 'abstract' shape, but was very juicy and had a pleasant crispy exterior. The veg were fine, and the bun, though a tad dry, was unremarkable. This burger seemed very much like something you'd find at a back yard bbq - a solid, beefy burger; tasty, and yet you eat it without paying much attention.

The fries were, once again, the dark style chip-truck fries. I don't know who is hawking these things to all the Kingston restaurants, but they're having quite a lot of success. The fries at the Griz, however, were properly cooked and didn't have the burnt flavour I found at other places.
