Jake’s-Lyndon, Wash.

While on our way to a family reunion in Victoria, we dipped into the States to go for lunch at Jake’s. We started going here years ago when he first started out and really liked it then. He has tweeked his menu now to really showcase what he does best….barbecue.

Don ordered the brisket with baked beans and fries. He said the brisket was very tender and the beans were really good – not too sweet.

I had the mushroom cheese burger. He really makes the best burger. It has a flavour no other restaurant can come up with. I had the sweet potato fries. YUM!

When we were departing, I left my card with the server and we left. In seconds, Brian, the owner and  barbecue master, came out and chatted with us. Now that is a real treat. This  is one man who really knows what he does best, and capalized on it.

Take the time to stop in and enjoy great western barbecue, you won’t be sorry!

Will we come back ? In a heartbeat.

Price $$

The Keg – Abbotsford, BC

We took our friends (and hosts) for this visit to the Keg.  http://www.kegsteakhouse.com/en/locations/BC/abbotsford/abbotsford-keg/What can one say? It is perfect in food and service. The night we were there, there was a large table with all men sitting at it. They were loud and the language was not suitable for the establishment. A few F-bombs came out.  The servers never said anything. Has this become the norm? I hope not.

 I digress…..Our friends ordered a shrimp and crab topping on a sirloin steak.  It was absolutely mouth-watering delicious. It came with red peppers and asparagus veggies.

Don ordered the Prime Rib (as always) it came with a baked potato, deep fried onions and he didn’t leave a thing on his plate. Whew!

I ordered (as always) the Filet Mignon steak with baked potato and red peppers/asparagus veggies. This has to be the best thing on the planet.

 We started with a Chocolate Martini (me), Ruby Sunset Martini (Sharon), Rusty Nail (Gary) and our DD  stayed the course.

 Room for dessert? Nope, but we did have room for a Blueberry Tea, B52 Coffee and a Scotch on the Rocks. Was it good? Beyond…would we go back? Absolutely! They have a great location and reputation. Don’t miss it.
