Murdock's has been at the food truck lot on Prince Albert in Dartmouth for a couple years, and…read morewhile they have more company than ever now, with upwards of six other food trucks there, it was this new-to-me truck that I had in my sights. The menu focuses on chef-ed up sandwiches, including specialty smash burgers, fish and chicken sandwiches. Poutines figure prominently as well. The burgers were really tempting (especially the fantastic double smash burger and fries for $11 deal!), but with my wife going for the mushroom and Swiss burger, I decided to go with the fish sandwich. Since the burgers are a la carte, we got a regular poutine to share. After a short wait, we had our food in hand and crossed the street to eat and take in the views on the little patio on the edge of Lake Banook. I attacked the poutine first, since being slathered in gravy gives the fries' crispness a very, very short lifespan. The fries were beautifully browned, hand-cut, and the rich gravy was just the right amount of salty. I was happy, but not surprised, to see cheese curds being used (as they should be). In my eagerness to chow down on the poutine, I forgot to take a picture of my fish sandwich! You'll have to believe my words that it was very, very good. The batter was light and crispy, with no mushy fish-batter interface, and flaked into nice chunks with each bite. A lemon pepper and dill mayo was a bright and flavourful alternative to a standard tartar sauce, and the supple brioche bun held up well against its tasty cargo. My wife's smash burger was a hearty umami bomb, with sauteed mushrooms, caramelized onions and Swiss cheese. Murdock's does their smash burgers right, as the two patties had great crusts on them, and crispy edges. We found ourselves back a couple weeks later, on another sunny and bustling evening at the food truck lot on Prince Albert. Since my wife was having the mushroom and Swiss burger again, I opted to go for the BBQ chicken and bacon sandwich. We tacked on a order of regular fries to share. I wasn't paying a lot of attention to the sandwich's description and had been expecting a fried chicken sandwich, since those are so common these days, but it's actually chunks of pulled chicken. It was all breast meat, but it wasn't overcooked at all, and the sweet and smoky BBQ sauce played well with the crisp bacon. Lettuce and red onion added some freshness and further crispness. I enjoyed the non-poutined fries a lot - golden brown and very crisp, and a lightly sweet and savoury flavour from their fry seasoning. Murdock's may have a compact menu, but they're doing well by it with approachable comfort food that's well-executed, affordable and wildly delicious.

Portions were satisfying and everything tasted like it was made with care. The service was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. One thing that really stands out is the decor--it feels like it hasn't changed since they first opened, and that gives the place a unique, nostalgic charm you don't see often anymore. It adds to the overall experience and makes it feel like a true local staple.

When I told people we were going to be making a port stop in Halifax, Nova Scotia I head from…read moreseveral people who said "You have GOT to try a donair in Halifax!". I'm not one to disagree with people when they tell me to try something local or something a place is known for. We were determined to find a donair during our hop-on/hop-off tour of Halifax. When doing our Google search we found that Tony's Donair and Pizza was about a block from one our stops and is noted for their donairs. Ok, easy enough. Our walk from our hop-on/hop-off stop was an easy one along a residential street and then along a larger thoroughfare. I was genuinely excited to try a donair, after hearing so much about them....and, incidentally, I was STARVING. Tony's Donair & Pizza is your typical hometown restaurant the apparently does more takeout than it does eat-in. There are only 2 or 3 tables, and you can tell the location is aged. Your order is placed at the counter and wait for your order to be called. There is no drink fountain, but a selection of beverages in a cooler. (YEAH, for Dr. Pepper®). I didn't know what to expect from a donair, really. Just that it's like a Gyro, but it has a sweeter sauce on it. I was not, in any way, disappointed. It was heavily stuffed with pita meat, whatever the mysterious sweet sauce is, and onions. A side of onion rings rounded out the meal nicely. The food was fresh and very tasty. The staff was friendly enough while appearing to be in a hurry to get something else done. It was around lunch time so I'm sure they had a lot of takeout orders to get made. All in all, a good visit. I can tell all of the people who said I had to get a donair that I did and I loved it.

Those that had fish and chips said they were really good.

If those don't appeal , there are a small number of standards like fish&chips, lobster roll, and poutine. My l'Acadie Fishcakes were made from salt fish (cod?) from Nova Scotia, expertly pan-fried. The portion was reasonable - though they were so good I could have eaten a third. They were served without a sauce (not needed), accompanied by house-made baked beans and marinated carrots. The sides were no afterthought either; the red beans were baked (not overbaked) in a flavorful sauce, and the carrots, thinly sliced, were sweet and tangy. The wife got the l'Acadie Meat Pie: a 1/4 portion of a round pie. The filling was the shredded meat, a blend of chicken, beef, and pork (!), seasoned with garlic and spices. This was inside what was described as a biscuit crust. Overall this was very good, not heavy like a meat pie can be, and not dry - but if you find it so there is the au jus gravy on the side. We didn't find it necessary. This pie was served with an excellent Caesar Salad. We split an order of Rappie Bites, which is a way to experience rappie pie in appetizer form. A filling made from grated potatoes and ground chicken, formed into golf-sized balls and deep fried. Interesting. I was expecting a firmer texture like a hush puppy which they resembled but the filling in these were soft and contained by the slightly crispy crust (of bread crumbs?) Unlike the bites which are always available, the pie is a specialty, available only on Sunday, and advance reservations are recommended to guarantee you can get it. I haven't had it in pie form and would maybe try it, but the meat pie was so good I might end up getting that again instead. I had a local cider to drink. Several local craft beers were available as well as wine. I don't remember if liquor was available. There were several desserts but we didn't try them. The only one specifically identified as Acadian was the Pouding Chômeur, described as a dumpling-like cake batter which caramelizes when baked, in a homemade maple sauce. Also ginger molasses cake, maple bread pudding, apple crisp, and strawberry shortcake - with the biscuits made in-house. As I am writing this they all sound so good I wish we had tried one - or more!
