King + Bannatyne

I'm leaving this review not having been to the restaurant in town but just grabbing a sandwich at the Winnipeg Folk Fest. The brisket sandwich was a most elevated version of a smoked meat sandwich and it made me wish that every smoked meat sandwich I've ever eaten tasted like this one. I will be back.

On road trips I try to sample local sandwich shops. This one came highly recommended per reviews. Originally wanted to try Hoagie Boyz but they were closed on Monday. I’m glad they were because I would’ve missed out on one of the best places I’ve been to. I couldn’t decide which sandwich to get and I saw them putting the cheese sauce on a sandwich they were making for someone else. Can’t say no to cheese sauce. That turned out to be the Philly sandwich! I was intrigued by the smoked Buffalo chicken so I got both. One for lunch one for later. Exceptional flavour. The bread was so soft and fresh. Unbelievable. A little pricy but you get what you pay for. I opted for their jalapeño Mac n cheese. It was alright. Their coleslaw was outta world. Hella fresh and packed with flavour. When I’m in Winnipeg again I’m definitely stopping by again.

The brisket sandwich was great. Staff were super friendly. Great experience
