Retreat Hotel - Pub in Abbotsford Victoria

I was freezing nearby and saw this place was open...and poppin! It was a Sunday evening and I got in before the dinner rush but there were people inside, outside, around the corner in the smoking section, and stuffed into the bar area. I didn't expect anything except to be extremely warm, but was highly surprised by the attentive service and delicious food. Ordered the southern chicken burger that blew my mind! The juicy chicken was served on a fresh, crispy sourdough-like bun, and filled with a flavorful tangy coleslaw. The first bite was incredible and now that I've cleaned the chips that came with it (crispy but a bit salty for my preference), I probably didn't need the entire portion. I am overly stuffed and sated, which means I couldn't stop eating it! Everything worked really well together but I still think the bun was what made this dish special. Highly recommend for those in the area who are looking for something hearty, good value, and delicious.
