Cool spot for a quick bite.

I got the brisket on the bun. It wasn’t how a brisket should be. It was very chewy. I tried their chicken and it was ok.

Tried the smoked brisket on Saturday just before the races. Boy was I ever impressed, incredible flavor including delicious sides! Thank you Merrittville!

Dinner and it was great. Food truck style with outside dining in front of the Merrittville Speedway so if you're looking for indoor dining in an actual building, this isn't for you.

Fried chicken, tots and mac & cheese. All very good. Tasty crispy hot chicken, lots of tots that were fried and perfect. Mac & cheese had good cheesy flavor and consistency. A big portion and delicious dinner. Outside.

Delicious fried chicken and big portions. The people in the line were very friendly enhancing the wonderful experience. The server was a very sweet lady and hooked us up. The macaroni was good along with the hand cut fries. The coleslaw wasn’t our favourite but we will be back to try more!

We tried this for the first time last night and had a bad service experience, and our order was wrong.

First things first... the food was good. I got brisket on a bun with fries and coleslaw. The fries and coleslaw were delicious. The brisket was a little chewy, but still tasted good. I really liked the pickled onions on the sandwich. The tots were good. The fried chicken was solid.

That said, we waited an HOUR outside for an online order we'd scheduled and paid for ahead of time. Both people we spoke to at the window seemed confused and overwhelmed. During the hour we waited, somehow only 2 orders came out the window. Lots of other people were waiting, both in-person and online orders, and they continued to take orders despite being very clearly backed up.

We got our order in the end but the chilli dog my husband had ordered (and they confirmed being in the bag at the window) had been replaced by a brisket sandwich, and one of the extra chicken pieces I ordered was missing.

It's really unfortunate because the food was decent, but I hesitate to go back knowing how poorly run it is.

Excellent service, the server was very patient with my questions about cross contamination. He assured me there wouldn't be any. I got the Buffalo Chicken poutine, which was huge, I could only eat half. My husband got the BBQ rib combo with tutor tots and Mac n cheese. He said the ribs were perfect! We will definitely be going back here!

We had the buffalo chicken poutine and brisket sandwich with fries.
The fries for both the poutine and combo were on the cold side but the taste of both were good. Bit of a wait, which probably would’ve been rectified with an extra team member, but on the whole was pretty decent.

I sent my mom and her sisters there for dinner because we’ve had great chicken there before and they said it was the worst meal they’ve had. Fries were cold, rubbery and over salted and the chicken was bone dry. I feel bad having recommended it to them.
