In Stock

On a rainy Saturday morning, I dropped by The Stockyards on St. Clair for some grub. This small and narrow eatery, known for their BBQ and smokehouse offerings, is always busy. Despite a constant drizzle that lasted all day, there was a queue (I walked by 3 hours later). I got the Saturday brunch option of Biscuits with Sausage Gravy ($11).

Upon arrival, the plate didn't look that appetizing: a sea of whitish gravy wherein floated brown chunks of meat. But it was good and filling with the housemade buttermilk biscuit (buried underneath all that sauce). The scrambled eggs were softer and creamier than typical offerings, closer to the French ideal. I would have preferred my biscuits on the side. With them soaking it the gravy, it was difficult to distinguish their own flavouring. Overall, a nice meal at a busy, convivial spot.
