Horton's is the shiznit of fast breakfast food. Period.
And to those of you who are lucky enough to have Tim's in your neck of the woods (I am not so lucky) - I hope you realize how lucky you really are.
With the predominance of McD's and DD in Illinois as your most viable option for 'fast' coffee with breakfast on the go (or just breakie) AND a drive thru, Tim's is a godsend. And it definitely blows those chains out of the water..
This location was our first stop arriving in Canada. And my very first time having Tim's. Very clean and updated interior with a handful of busy workers in the wee hours of the night. I needed a bathroom break and let me tell you, the restrooms were spotless. I never comment on restrooms but I sure remember skanky ones..these guys deserve major props for keeping them so squeaky clean and tidy.
Having stopped at numerous locations in Canada, I couldn't get enough of the breakfast sandwiches on the go. I honestly looked forward to them they were that good. DD and McD's got nothin on TH. I'm officially spoiled.
Everything just tastes better. Less artificial. And my hot breakfast sammie on a homestyle biscuit with cheese and bacon or sausage was delicious! And filling! The egg product actually tasted real. The yummy tender biscuit didn't fall apart and was exceptionally good. Hashbrown is another winner. The donuts were great as well. Again, everything just tastes fresh and less artificial than you know where and these aren't skimpy portions.
And the coffee! My morning iced lattes went down so easy. I'm not a coffee snob but have my favorites. There's something about the milk in Canada that just tastes so good and in my latte gave it that extra special something. The coffee itself is good don't get me wrong, but the milk here makes it even better. Didn't try any of the lunch offerings, but I'm fine stickin with breakfast here...if only we had them? boohoo.
I really REALLY miss Tim's. Don't take them for granted is all I can say or I'll shove a lousy egg mcmuffin in your pie hole, along with an egg & cheese wrap that will give you the runs for hours. read more
