Question: If you're a foodie like me, you will NOT be impressed by Hillside Spot. My boyfriend and I came here a couple of weeks ago for a quick lunch after a trip to Ikea. We ordered the Blue Sky burger and a salad/sandwich combo. Let me just say the chopped salad was delicious--but then again how can you go wrong if you use fresh ingredients? The grilled veggie sandwich, however was DIS-GUSTING. The veggies were sopping in oil/grease and were put on the driest piece of bread I've ever had. I couldn't believe that's what they considered the healthy option. The Blue Sky burger was no better...but then again we wouldn't know because the only flavor you could taste was the blue cheese. This place was the biggest disappointment in a long time.

Overall, even with three and a half stars this place is overrated. Just sayin.

Answer: 2 stars

Question: As someone who compulsively had to read all 70+ reviews, I knew going in that the burnt ends poutine, ribs, and brisket were the most generally well received items. So that's exactly what we ordered. (With a side of Mac and cheese balls -- because, why not?)

I really wanted to love the brisket/brunt ends poutine, but it was just a smidge too salty for me.

I'm not a big rib person mainly because of how messy they generally are. So what I did really like about BSBBQ was that the ribs were dry-rubbed so while you could add as much additional sauce that you wanted, you could also eat them "as is" and they weren't messy, and still had loads of flavour. However, my husband (who loves ribs) only ranked Blackstrap BBQ as second (diablos is first, and le boucan is third) in ribs.

All in all, a bit of an uneven experience. We both thought the Mac and cheese was delicious, I loved the ribs and my husband was slightly lukewarm about them, and the poutine was generally a miss. Not likely somewhere we would go again unless we wanted take-out and were in the area. Because honestly, for roughly the same price, diablos has much more to offer in terms of atmosphere, drink options, and location for people looking to "dine in" and relax at a restaurant with some friends.

Answer: 3 stars
