Benjamin's Restaurant & Inn, St. Jacobs, ON

Gord and I drove to St. Jacobs, about an 1.5 hours away.

It was lunchtime so we went to Benjamin's Restaurant & Inn.

Nestled in the heart of the Village of St. Jacobs, Benjamin's Restaurant & Inn offers its guests the charm of a vintage inn with modern conveniences for your comfort. For 150 years, the building which houses Benjamin's has accommodated overnight guests. Built in 1852 by a local Mennonite named Joseph Eby, the original "Farmer's Inn" was a stage coach stop en route from Berlin (Kitchener) to Elmira and all other points north.

I had a hamburger and fries.

The burger was good ... the fries so-so so I just had a few.

Gord ordered the wild boar meatloaf. He had asked to substitute the sweet potatoes fries (he's not a fan) for potato salad and the server ended up bringing both.

He said the meatloaf was good.

And here's Gord when we left.
