The draw to the works was always the crazy burger topping options. They've really trimmed down their menu and some of my old favourites are gone, but what they still have is good quality for its price point. Our server was friendly and attentive to whatever our table needed. My friends and I come back to this spot every few months, it has been reliably good.

Waited at door to be seated and was told by "hostess" to seat myself where ever we liked. Sat at back and waited for just over ten minutes before waitress came to ask if we wanted drinks - she said she wasn't aware we were even there, but there were only four other tables of customers while we were there: as hostess stood at kitchen window our entire visit i think the waitress was not informed of our arrival. Wanted a milkshake and it took a while for this to come out, at which point it was very watery: had chunks of ice cream floating in milk. Waitress was very nice, but seemed to be doing everything herself. Boyfriend had draft beer, the glass of which was quite dirty at the bottom, noticeable only after drinking the beer.

Fries were too salty, the dip for the sweet potatoes were waaaaay too spicy, in the burger one single lettuce and a super thin tomato slice. The hamburger meat was super thick extremely dry - my bf who loves meat could barely finish it. Maybe they need a new cook as all Oakville, Burlington and Toronto locations that we’ve been to was so much better. Waitress was really nice tho.

Had to literally force myself to not throw up while eating my burger. Ended up giving up and leaving half of it. Was so dry and gross, even had people try it and they said the same thing. Waitress was nice but she was all alone so we had to wait super long on a weekend (weird) and there was maybe only 3 other groups of people in there. Maybe hire her some help. Portion sizes are so bad now, I had maybe 11 fries total on my plate and had to ration them. I used to love this place, my friends and I would go often. Not so much anymore. Waste of money.

The first time I ordered for delivery, the food was outstanding. So we ordered again.This time, I was disappointed. The red onion on my burger was thick and poorly sliced.The burger, although seared well, was dry.The tomato was also thick and not ripe.Not money well-spent this time.

Great spot for a date night, very unique experience the food came out fresh and hot, the poutine was enough for two, fries was very crispy, perfect melt on the cheese curd, reasonable portion size. I could go on about the burgers but I would be doing this all day...lets just say they are amazing, conveniently located close to the waterfront, this place is flavor town.We will be back for sure.

My husband and I met at the Barrie location on Christmas Eve 2014. We go back for lunch every year (except 2020 because of COVID we got take out). Just celebrated 7 years and were once again welcomed warmly and given our regular table. Amazing staff and great food! Thank you for always being so good to us!

Damm that burger went in pretty quick!Great flovor and customer service, definitely coming back.

That burger! Good service, too, but the burger takes the spotlight. Not just good ingredients, but also expertly cooked. Will definitely go back and recommend.

Fantastic food and services. Waitress offered great food suggestions. Will definitely come again!!
