Burger Pit - Montville


Went on a roadtrip last weekend up to Montville to check out the scenery. The weather wasn't too bad and we were glad to have visited before the heavy rains set in again. Having not visited before, I was keen to get some recommendations from friends and try some local favourites. This time we decided to try out Burger Pit which was quite popular and highly rated. 


The menu was simple and comprised of only burgers, hotdogs and sides. Staff were friendly and I liked the open kitchen which meant I could watch our burgers get made. 


There was also both an indoor and an outdoor dining area. Without much of a doubt Dr L made a beeline straight towards indoor seating which was pleasantly air conditioned. 


It took a little while because they only had one staff but when it did arrive it was definitely an impressive feast.

 

Dr K had the Piled High and true to it's name, it was definitely hard to hold together. It was really filling and made for good value. Dr L had the Blue Moo and it had had an interesting combination of both blue cheese, a big field mushroom as well as a beef patty. Packed with flavour, he really enjoyed it.



With a craving for bacon on my mind, I ordered the Big Smoke. It was really a substantial burger and heavy to hold (and a bigger challenge to eat). The patty was thick and juicy, especially with the melted cheese on top and the generous amount of sweet bbq sauce. The bun wasn't that great though, it was a little dry and course and could definitely have been a bit fluffier. Nonetheless it was a solid burger which kept us fuelled for our afternoon hike.


We also had a serve of poutine to share. The gravy was thick and flavoursome and the cheese curds were stringy. The portion was very big and perfect for sharing between our group. If we come back I'll definitely try other variants of their loaded fries.
