This time we walked away with beef jerky homemade by owner himself. It is out of this world! Also picked up some fresh cut bacon so can't wait to cook this up. This is an undiscovered treasure and wish we had something similar in GTA.

Let me give you a disclaimer, I don't eat a lot of meat. I have been here twice. I was dragged here…read moreby a friend of mine who recently moved to this sleepy little hamlet to work at a nearby university. From what I tasted, the meat is very good. I don't know that it is in the category of Lobels in New York or Peoria Packing of Chicago, but from what I had, it was very good. I also just learned that the Senator Restaurant in Toronto uses Cumbrae's beef. I haven't been back to the Senator since 1991, but it was at that time, a very good restaurant. My review is not for the meat, it is for the staff. I don't frequent butcher shops, but my past experiences have been very different from this shop. There are no old, grumpy, loud men in bloodied white coats here. Instead, they seem to have found a stable of really hot, cute young girls that love to handle raw meat. I don't get it, but each one is cuter and prettier than the next. Brunettes, blondes, red heads, its like the Sunday Funday girls of the Playboy Mansion are working here. I could cast a Bravo reality show here."The cute coeds of Cumbraes." You could do a calendar that would make the Tempe 12 look ordinary. The guys in the back are also young, like a college hockey team. I am not sure if this hiring is on purpose, or the norm for small Canadian butcher shops, but it works. I think even hardcore vegans would have a hard time avoiding this place.

If you like (love) bacon, and haven't tried Cumbraes bacon, stop reading this review immediately and get down their to buy some. You don't truly love bacon until you've had Cumbraes bacon.

This place is a hidden gem in Brantford. Located in a plaza, you can find great artisan chocolates,…read moresweets, and truffles inside. Just mind the space because right now during Covid it can feel a bit claustrophobic. When my friends and I went (3 of us), we were the only customers so we were pretty spaced out. The inside is cute and you can see the chocolate making at the back. I got some dark chocolate barks and dark chocolate coconut clusters that were very good!

In particular, the halibut was balanced so well with the brightness of the summer veggies and sauce. This was also my first time trying the seafood chowder, and it did not disappoint! Chunks of assorted seafood in a creamy (but not overly thick or salty) broth, topped with a heapful of chives that just hit the spot. The chowder let the seafood shine, which is exactly what it should do!

Use to come here durring Hie school when I was a student in brantford…read more Small store witch was easy as for many who might not be aware, People who are Blind or have Parsull site require extra room to travel around and a big and crouded space could create a lot of problems but farm boy is just the right sise. The sidewalk leading up to the store is helpfull in terms of accessibility for people coming from the buss sistam out on King george, not to be confused with the name sake King george in Surrey bc. Over all, it is still a great store for people living near by as most people don't need a car unless you live on the other side of town or you live out in the farming communities just out side on the back roads in the growing neighborhoods . Also a lot of customers could get quick essentials at the front and in the side witch is always pleasing to hear. 5stars it is!

Been wanting to try this spot for a while after hearing so many good things about their original…read moreestablishment which unfortunately burned down, so now they're temporarily operating as a food truck and my review is solely related to my experience with this food truck. First thing I noticed is how much traffic this spot gets. A lot of locals and some visitors passing through for a bite and/or pit stop. They have plenty of shaded outdoor seating, a self serve condiment station, and overall very clean setup. I ordered the Animal Smash Burger without fries (because I hate fries lol) and it came out to $17 without a drink. The burger was huge, the patties totaled 8oz and there was plenty of sauce, cheese, and veggies packed between an ACE burger bun. I rate it a 7/10. It was super messy to eat (which isn't inherently a bad thing, just a little inconvenient because burgers are greasy and the closest place to wash your hands is inside the neighboring convenience store) and the patties were pretty thick for a smashburger. Flavors didn't blow my mind but still did a good job for the price. I got pretty full off just the burger alone. My overall personal opinion is that this is one of the best food/burger options around as the quality is definitely higher than Miracle Man's or big chain places like A&W etc. therefore people will naturally favor this spot because there aren't very many independent gourmet options within a 30min drive to compare. The location is super convenient as well since there's literally a gas station/rest stop/tobacco shop in the same lot, so if you need a clean bathroom after your meal it's easily accessible. I don't think I'd go out of my way and return for just their burgers, but once they reopen the barn and have a bigger menu with more indigenous items I'd like to give this place another try. Still really glad I experienced this place though. It's nice to get out of the city.
