The Local Restaurant Scene - Reggie's Hot Grill

By the time Tim got home from cleaning up the yard sale on Saturday, he wasn't in any mood to cook anything. And after studying most of the day, I certainly didn't want to either. So while I kept reviewing, Tim ran over to Reggie's Hot Grill in East City and picked us up burgers. I would put in a strong argument that these are the best burgers in Peterborough. They might be facing stiff competition some from Canteen of Kawartha this summer, though. Canteen of Kawartha outbid them on the chip truck up by Trent University - there will have to be a burger throwdown at some point this summer!

The same guys who own Reggie's also own El Caminos on George, which is a little taco/burrito place. They make some of the best post-bar food in Peterborough. Even if you aren't drunk and stumbly, it's pretty delicious. They're also opening a new sit-down restaurant at the corner of Hunter St and Aylmer St. I can't wait to try the food!

The insides of my drop out burger (bacon and cheddar) - yum.

Tim's poutine - so messy!

Just as a side note: While the burgers are delicious and I've heard great things about the chicken sandwiches and Tim seemed to enjoy the poutine, their fries are really nothing special. I find them to be overcooked and generally soggy. They also don't seem to have enough seasoning. Other than that, Reggie's is a great local place to check out! Plus the service there is amazing. Not too fast since they're making all the burgers to order, but always super friendly.
