Boardwalk Pub.

woodbine beach restaurant... Yesterday was another Saturday, so as usual, I headed down to Woodbine beach to play beach volleyball (best way to spend my weekends, no doubt!). Last time we had ice cream from the ice cream truck, but we were pretty hungry this time, so a couple of us decided to check out the "Boardwalk Pub" restaurant right by the beach. This place has a nice outdoor patio with a big tree that gives its customers some nice shade on a hot summer day. We all got a bunch of different stuff:
  • Cheesy Cheese Burger - topped with Cheddar/ Jack cheese and Comes With Fries [$13 + Tax]
  • Cajun Burger - Cajun toppings + lots of Jalapeno peppers [$12 + Tax]
  • 1 lb of Chicken Wings (I got the Smokey BBQ sauce flavour) [$9 + Tax]
  • Pasta of the Day - Creole Pasta [$12.95 + Tax]
  • Sweet Potato Fries - came with creole mustard dipping sauce [$6 + Tax]
I had the wings and wow... I have to give them props as the flavour on these wings were awesome. They weren't the biggest or juiciest wings, but you could really taste the smokey flavour. Each of the burgers had 8 oz patties, and my friends who had thought that they were pretty big and tasty. The cajun one was loaded with jalapeno peppers, so if you like spicy, this would be decent. The Creole Pasta was the pasta of the day and was decently sized as you can see in the pics. My friend commented that there were about 4 or 5 big shrimps in there and that it was really spicy! We all shared the sweet potato fries, which are always good no matter where you get them (these were larger cuts of sweet potato then most places though).
Overall, the Boardwalk Pub has some pretty delicious food with big portions, although it is quite pricey. I guess the fact that it has prime location, right by the beach, is the reason for the high prices. The only other options around the beach is the extra expensive Pizza Pizza and Hot Dog stands. Their patio is a nice place where you can relax in shade and take a break from being under the sun for hours at the beach. As it is a pub, they also serve alcohol, but mostly premium beers (ranging from $6-$7 a pint). It is located at 1681 Lake Shore Blvd. E., within the Woodbine Beach Park. If you don't want to drop this kinda cash, hot dog stand or bringing food to the beach (loblaws down the street) are good options.
