Cheap good beer and reasonably priced food - what more could you ask for? Well, a better tasting Club Sandwich would be one I guess. This was mediocre at best - not a lot of flavour and I even had trouble tasting the bacon that was on there. Even just a bit more mayo would have helped.

The fries were perfect but do you notice something odd about this plating? I'm sure someone thought that would be a cool idea to pile up the fries between the sandwich, but how am I supposed to eat my fries first with ketchup especially if I'm a dipper? There is no room for the ketchup and even if you put it on top of the fries you risk getting it on your sandwich. So I had to eat half the sandwich first to make room for putting some ketchup on the plate.

As an aside and this is really everywhere not just here, but what is this obsession society has with chicken / turkey breast? It the most flavourless cut there is and you get charged more for it! This sandwich would have been an awful lot better with dark meat. Maybe they should consider giving us a choice.

How can you not go back with cheap beers like that? And clearly they take their beer seriously - a lot of places could take a lesson here.

Admin : when I do a site search on "The Third" it does not come up. All lowercase if that makes a difference. But when I search on "The 3rd" I get it. Odd.

Wow can't believe I had to add a new vendor for this one. Went there last night and YOU GUYS BEERS FOR $5.50!!! Full 473ml pints! Of good beer like Beaus and other local micros.

Had the hamburger and fries for 10 BUCKS! A 10 dollar meal in Hintonburg! Imagine that!

The fries were perfect except they had them salted way too much. the burger was on the small side but beautifully done, extremely juicy and flavourful, and absolutely perfect.
