Tags: Jewish
This is a staple in Jewish homes at Holidays and often at the Sabbath meal. Made well a Matzoball is fabulous and the chicken soup it accompanies is usually made the old fashioned way: whole chicken carrots,onions, celery etc. Stewed long and slow to maximize the flavour. Strained and served piping hot with a Matzoball front and centre. This chicken soup is often refered to as Jewish Penicillin. Mothers and Grandmothers serve this when you have a cold ,feeling blue etc.

Went back today for lunch with a friend and the place was not to busy seeing as it was a Sunday it surprised us as we had prepared ourselves for a wait.
Seated promptly and placed our drinks order, then ordered our Matzo Ball soup as starters, it arrived with the drinks Very quickly. This time the soup and matzo ball had more taste but they have a very heavy hand with the salt which hit us later whilst out shopping as we got terribly thirsty.
Friend ordered the Cajun burger with salad and asked for extra spicy ( is from India and can take her heat) not very impressed with the burger at all and never finished her meal. She found the spice mild and the Cajun mayo ( cajun seasong added to mayo) very gloopy and also lacking in flavour.
My order of the Jack Daniels beef burger was over cooked on the outside to the point of being burnt and still quit pink on the inside. again the sauce was just dolloped on top and tasted like any bottled sauce you can buy in the grocery store.
The bill for 2 soups ( 4.95 each) 2 teas and the 2 burgers( 10.95 each came to $ 43.00 and some change.
I have tried it twice now and wont be back as I can get better else where.

Went for a quick lunch Saturday. The place was packed so sat at the bar. Friendly barlady and service was quick.

Orderd the Matzoball soup. Arrived piping hot and smelling of chicken so my expectations were high. The Matzoball was a good size but lacked flavour something was missing and only later did i realize it lacked the cooked in chicken soup taste that i grew up knowing. The matzoball was a little on the tough side but still edible. I was so hungry I ate it all.
Then decided to order the app. portion of the chopped liver, this was really good, only gripe not enough rye bread to finish it with and also the rye bread was not fresh.
Will go back and try the other dishes on the menu.
