The Chequered Flag

Pub style restaurant. .. . On the way to Western Speedway and Bear Mountain. Walls covered in car and racing memorabilia to match the name.
Typical menu selections for this type of restaurant. I chose the halibut burger and fries ($ 12.95), subbing in yam fries ($ 1.50 extra), the halibut fillet covered the bun and was pan fried, no batter. Fresh white bun with mayo, lettuce and tomato. Tasted fresh and flakey. Fine and satisfying. I would have preferred tartar sauce over mayo to up the flavour tang. Yam fries weren’t plentiful but were fresh fried tasting with a side of a BBQ-​mayo tasting dip. My partner had the classic beef burger with yam fries. It looked big and he said it was above average in taste and flavour for this type of restaurant. Free refills on soft drinks ($ 2.50).
The memorabilia is interesting to scan as well as a tropical fish tank nearby. Service was friendly and attentive.
All in all, it’s a comfortable stop, everything as expected, nothing over the top. Sometimes the comfort zone is all you needed for a quick lunch. ..
