It was nearly one of everything from our menu, bubbly, a confetti popper and home made confetti to make ringing in the new year a little more fun. We know NYE wasn't what it normally would be, but we made the best of it. ... Best of all, Mark got to keep tradition and still pop a popper! We hope your NYE was fun too.

Hey Folks! As we entered the red zone today, Shirlene and Brian took the time and precautions to ensure indoor dining is safe for our patrons and staff. We have removed additional tables and chairs, as seen in the time lapse video, as well as taped the floor visually showing patrons the distance has been measured for their safety.... Mark, Shirlene and Brian will of course have masks on as well as face shields or safety glasses. We ask for your patience and kindness as we figure out these next steps. As always take out will be available; if you are more comfortable we will meet you outside for payment just call us or wave when you arrive! You can also order thru curbside pivot which eliminates the in person transaction. Thank you again for your continued support Hamilton. We appreciate you. We wouldn't be here without you. #merksnackbar #wedontservebadthings #ottawastbia #stuffyoface #hamont #covidsafe

If you've had my meals you've heard of Grandpa Stew. I named it after the greatest man I ever knew. Lindell Gersham Alexander Phillips I've learned soo many things from him, he is probably a big part of why all of the men in my family cook so well. Every year he would grow vegetables in the garden. The prize was always the massive zucchinis he would manage to grow. When they were ready he would choose the biggest and best and we would be able to enjoy it stuffed with ground beef and rice. I was always amazed at the perfectly round rings of deliciousness that got sliced from them. Because I will probably never find zucchini grown that way ever again, instead of stuffing them I make it into a stew. One day I'll find one and make it like he used to. Anyway here's Grandpa and his prize winning zucchinis

Merk Snack Bar 07.09.2020
