I picked up dinner at Honest Weight tonight. It was ready in 20 minutes.

The restaurant has a capacity for 28 people. It was completely full at 7 pm on a Friday. I hadn’t visited in close to 5 years. I’ll definitely be back soon.

I ordered a feature, a softshell crab sandwich which was not on the printed menu. I love softshell crab, and it’s rare to find American softshell crabs in Toronto.

I also ordered the chowder. There were quite a few small mussels, some shrimp and bay scallops in this bowl. My close- up photo was awful, so I didn’t upload it. This chowder is the thinner cream-type that is not thickened with flour.

It’s usually a 3 week window, at a few top restaurants.

Same. The last meal I had there was the seafood okonomiyaki. It was excellent.

Lobster Benny for brunch today! It was divine.

Honest Weight no longer has a patio or a small table on the sidewalk, which is understandable, considering most people want to eat indoors.

Luckily for me, I know a friendly barista who lets me eat Honest Weight take-out on his patio. The bennies came with a nice salad.

I’ll be back for more take-out, soon.

I ordered the crab cakes and the Honest Burger, a cod and shrimp patty topped with bacon on a bun. Both were good. The Honest Burger was a little plain for me.

That said, I would order differently next time. I really like their lobster bennies and their main courses that aren’t sandwiches.

The menu changes frequently.
