Briskit Gourmet Slow Cooked Sandwiches

I was super excited to go to this place for the first time. I ordered the Burger that has brisket on it and to say the least the brisket was the highlight of the burger. The burger meat itself did had no taste. Lack of seasoning. The brisket and the toppings gave it all its taste. Also the burger bun was an Italian Kaiser which I do like but there was more bun than meat. The gravy on the poutine was tasty but very salty and the poutine was done with shredded cheese and not cheese curds but that doesn’t make the poutine bad curds are just my preference.
I will give this place a second chance but I will stick with their pulled pork or brisket sandwiches.

Went for breakfast on Saturday morning. I had the breakfast skillet with brisket and a coffee. The food was amazing. Lots of perfectly cooked meat, great home fries, plenty of eggs. Coffee was nothing special. The service was OK. Only problem was that everything was served on paper plates. Coffee was served in a paper cup. Forks and knives were plastic. They do the cream and sugar for you, don’t even have creamer packets. The entire time we were there, everybody had their food to go, nobody else sat down. It seems they don’t want to cater to people who dine-​in. So if you want a really great breakfast to-​go, this is the place. If you want a place to go with friends to dine-​in, this is probably not what you’re looking for.

Odd it took Burger Binge week to make my first visit here since I live fairly close, but better late than never.
The exterior and interior are somewhat nondescript; however, still nice and clean. During my order — which was for 4 — the phone probably rang at least 3 times. I learned pretty quick that everything is cooked to order, and those calling learned to call ahead. Most of the people I saw coming in seemed to be repeat customers, so they’re clearly putting out good food consistently. I forgot the server’s name, and I believe she’s a co-​owner; she was such a friendly and welcoming person whom I’m sure plays a part in repeat business.
I ordered the Unilocal burger, which was essentially a cheeseburger with caramelized onions and a grilled hot dog on top. It’s up to you to throw on whatever else you want on the burger. As mentioned, everything was cooked fresh. It’s funny how little onions are properly caramelized at many places; however they did it perfectly — very sweet and soft but still not overdone. Having the hot dog in a burger is almost like a double taste of summer BBQ at once. It surprisingly isn’t that odd or arbitrary, with the hot dog almost serving the purpose of bacon. The beef patty was certainly house made.
My only complaint would be the fairly average kaiser bun. It’s too large and masks some of the burger’s taste. It also tends to absorb too much of the sauces.
Fries were fresh-​cut and cooked well; probably a bigger serving than you may even need.
Positive experience, though my next visit will probably include their namesake of «…slow cooked sandwiches’.

Off the beaten path of Queen St or Steeles in Brampton, you will find it on the corner of Rutherford Rd and Orenda by a gas station. Family owned and operated, we were greeted by the owners and they asked if it was our first time visiting Briskit. We told them yes and they guided us through their whole menu and answered any questions that they had. This location was also featuring breakfast menu that the other location did not have. My wife and I opted for the Breakfast skillet which consisted of potatoes, Slow cooked beef brisket and pulled pork, eggs, cheese, toast, and bbq sauce, my wife had the BLT on a Kaiser with homemade onion rings. We sat down and the owner brought out a little sample of the brisket and pulled pork in a little ramikin to sample. the smoke flavoring and slow cooking was evident in the meat. very tasty! Our meals came up pretty quick and we had a chat with the owner.
The Wilkinson location is well known for its Brisket sandwiches, but it is also well known in the area for its burgers. The burger menu has about 8 – 9 different burgers, but they also feature a burger of the month. This month the burger had Mac and cheese with BBQ sauce on a garlic kaiser. He told me all the burgers are fresh ground chuck with a little beef brisket mixed in, definitely going to order on my next visit. Prices are very reasonable and the hospitality and service was good! A great experience with some very tasty food. I think this is going to be my guilty vice for the while!

First to review this place? How is this even possible? This new (er) second location of this popular Brampton sandwich shop has been open over a year and it seems as if folks in Brampton just love the original location so much that they’re not willing to travel to this new Orenda location.
Well folks, let me just say, while I’ve never been to the original location, what I learned about it from the owners is worth a listen. From what I understand, the original Biskit on Wilkinson is significantly smaller, and much busier. So while you’ll get the same amazing food, you a) might be waiting a lot longer on Wilkinson, and b) you might need to take it to go as seats might be limited. At the newer Orenda locations, you won’t have any issues what so ever, so why not give this one a try?!
Located in the midst of a sea of auto body repair shops and transport companies, Briskit Gourmet Sandwiches shares a plaza with a gas station, so if you’re in transit, why not call and make an order in advance, grab some gas for you car, pick up your food and be on your way. Plenty of parking PLUS lots of seats while you wait.
Yesterday, I knocked this spot off my bookmark bucket-​list and paid them a visit at long last. I got into a convo with Elaine at the front (a lovely woman, so nice!) and told her I was stumped on what to have (who wouldn’t be stumped with a huge menu filled with gourmet sandwiches, gourmet burgers, chilli, soups, salads, desserts and even gourmet hot dogs! She recommended that for my first visit I go with what made them famous, the smoked brisket sandwich melt (spelt Briskit), which comes served with sautéed onions. OK, easy, a no brainer. Then for the side, I was torn between fresh onion rings and fresh cut fries… she said, «Have F’rings». YOU CAN DO THAT HERE??? SOLD! A little… excuse me, I mean, a LOT a bit of both!
Took my seat and waited for the food to come out and when it finally arrived, OH… EM…GEEE, totally worth it. The sandwich, HUGE, dripping with briskit juice and bbq sauce, the onions spilling out of the massive kaiser bun. The fries, perfectly cooked, fresh cut, crispy with the perfect amount of salt on them. Then the onion rings, freshly battered, crisp outside with a soft doughy inside, cooked through to a brown gold crisp and seasoned perfectly as well — OH and did I mention TOTALLY GLUTEN FREE!!!
I got through the sandwich and onion rings no problem, half way through the fries my stomach sent a message to my brain that it was full but my taste buds intercepted the communication, told my stomach to EF-​off because they weren’t done yet. So another few mouth fulls of fries and my body went into shut down mode… sorry taste buds, my stomach pulled the override switch which stops my hands from moving and mouth form opening. Game over.
So good! So good! SO GOOD!
I staggered out to my car after paying and leaving a tip for Elaine as a thank you for her guidance and help, and instantly wished I could nap in my car. Overall a great meal and one I’ll return for soon.
Couple of awesome notes before I wrap up:
a) There is a gourmet burger of the month each month, so check back often
b) The soup of the day yesterday was Spaghetti and Meatballs… but in soup form!!!
c) Any item on the menu can be gluten free, just ask and they can accommodate. Elaine told me they build the menu so that people with gluten intolerance’s would never have to be turned away — very thoughtful!
I’ll be back again, but for now
