Craving burgers on a Saturday night led me to this place, not too far away from my house. The place…read morewas not too crowded, and just managed to take a peek at the server going with a beautiful looking burger. Drool from the first minute. The server was friendly and fun to talk to. Ambience was a bit sombre but nothing that made me not want to go again. Late night specials gave a 25% discount on the wings and there were some deals on burgers too (can't remember) Coming to the food Wings: Meh! Was overcooked and not juicy Poutine: DELICIOUS! I actually gorged on it more than the burgers Burgers: Hangover burger & Poutine burger were big disappointments. Patty was overcooked and chewy, while the bacon was almost raw. The patty wasn't seasoned well. The looks were the best part of it. Steak: Average, but it's also almost 40% cheaper than the bigger steakhouses, so can't complain. Drinks: The server (also bartender) made delicious drinks. We ordered a Rum & coke (not much to go wrong there) but the Old Fashioned was well balanced. Value for money: 3/5 Food: 2/5 Drinks: 5/5 Staff: 4/5 Would I go here again? If I'm drunk late night and craving Poutine, maybe.

I liked the environment when I came inside this place. Staff was nice. Service was good…read more I got the inferno burger , I asked to replace the banana peppers with sautéed onions. They told me that they don't do replacements for toppings and it would cost me 50 cents. That kind of sucked. It may be a little over priced, but when I ate my burger it was delicious. The multi grain bun was soft , the burger patty was think , juicy and better then the works patties in my opinion. And the jack Daniels BBQ sauce was amazing!! If you don't mind spending a little extra money I would suggest this place. Average price for a burger with fries is between 15-20$ depends on the patty too since they also offer lamb patties.

Every now and then I patronize a business that I think "Gee, I wish we had one of these at home" or…read more"Gee, I wonder what it would be like to franchise a place like this at home". The Works is one of those places. Going here for lunch before heading home from my visit to Ottawa, I was hoping for a decent burger. Instead I got too many choices of what looked like good burgers along with an agonizing choice: fresh cut fries or homemade chips. Argh. I settled on a classic fallback for me, a bleu cheese burger and some homemade chips. Drinks are served in 2 cup measuring cups (weird but oddly cool) which further makes this place unique. The burger was mouth watering and on point. It was cooked a bit closer to Medium Well than Medium, but the flavor was there so it wasn't an issue. Our server was very friendly and we had no issues there. We were there at 11:30 on a Monday and there was a steady flow of take out orders along with a few other tables dining in. The interior looked to be an old wood fired pizza place, but since I'm not a local, I couldn't tell you if I'm right ;) If you can't tell by now, I'm a fan and wish this was closer to home. Check it out!

SO disappointing.... This used to be my favorite place to bring company from out of town. I…read moreunderstand the pandemic hit hard but they got rid of favorites like the poutine martini, which was a poutine with one or 2 cut up onion rings. When I went to order, the server had no idea what I was talking about. My go-to's were the Down Under and the Sweet Ride (which was featured on their server's tshirts). Gone. I understand they require additional ingredients such as poached pear or beets but we've been back in the real world for several years and they haven't re-expanded their menu. Sucks. Just a regular burger joint now...

Delightful and unexpected experience. Stopped in for a bite (and to do a bit of work on the…read morelaptop). I was immediately impressed by the fact I received friendly greetings from both individuals behind the counter. I ordered a generous portioned salad with lightly roasted chicken followed by a warm apple pie desert. When I indicated that I found that the coffee to be too strong (as if it had been on the burner too long), the person at the counter replaced it with my second choice, a cup of tea. I like the fact that this place is spacious. I like that the menu is varied and that prices are reasonable. Most of all, I like the fact that this Harvey's feels like one of those old fashioned family run businesses where new patrons are welcomed warmly and regulars are greeted by name. As I ate and then worked away, I could hear the sound of laughter from behind the counter. Clearly, employees here are part of a tight knit team who enjoy their work.

The burger meal when ordered on the app/CAA/Scene+ the meal becomes reasonable priced. The burger was made quickly. When there two meals purchased we tend to order one fries and one with onion rings.

I actually think I've had it once before, but that would've been 15ish years ago so I think enough time has passed haha I also had it topped with shrimp, which I don't think the Works even has anymore as an ingredient. I chose a sesame multi-grain and upgraded to a Kobe-style wagyu beef patty, bun and sweet potato fries with a side of Beechhouse sauce. As you can imagine, this order was quite expensive, since the Works burgers are already pretty pricey. The sweet potato fries were worth the upgrade, in my opinion, especially with the extra Beechhouse sauce for dipping. They were crispy, not too greasy or salty, and there were plenty. I always love their unique Beechhouse sauce and it's perfect with the sweet potato fries instead of mayo or ketchup. I know it has carrots in it because you can see the small shreds, but it's not like a carrot dip (ha!); I just find it really flavourful. The burger was good, but I wish I had just ordered the standard Canadian beef patty. My husband ordered it and his was less done than mine, which I liked better. My patty was smaller and more cooked, which made it drier and bit less flavourful, in my opinion. The Beechhouse sauce and avocado helped the dryness of the patty, and the crumbled feta added that bit of salty flavour. The tartness of the few sun-dried tomatoes brightened it up a bit and wasn't overpowering. I also got a Caesar that was the daily special and it was good. The food was made and presented well and service was friendly. I'm sure we'll be back here if we're craving the Works in the future.

After having a horrible experience with this chain a few years ago, I wrote them off completely. I…read morewanted to give them another chance since I was out of town and wouldn't be giving the Waterloo location business. Now, I'm done completely. I was going to an event that I had a time reservation for and planned to have an hour to dine here, as that is usually more than enough in most restaurants. There was an accident, which prolonged traffic by 10 minutes, but once I arrived, I figured 50 minutes would be enough. The restaurant is on the smaller size and it seemed as if they were really busy. There was a baseball team eating in there, but they got up and left a few minutes after I sat down, so they had been finished for a little while. I waited for almost 15 minutes for someone to just come to my table and take my order. Now, I'm going to harp on something that restaurants have been doing to cheap out on their diners for a few years now. You used to go to a place to eat and get a full sized drink, I'm talking tall glass, at least 10-12 oz. Drinks back then were $8 - $10 average, but you got a DRINK. Now they use little highball glasses and charge $14 -$18 a drink. This has really started to get under my skin. It skyrockets the price of your total bill, especially if you indulge in a second. It's gotten to the point I've pretty much decided to stop having a drink with dinner anymore when going out. This place was the extreme. Another way they cheat you is by filling up that tiny glass with ice so that there is barely any drink in it at all. I asked my server to go easy on the ice. Please, look at the attached picture of the drink. The picture I took was before I had even a single sip. I was so angry, I was done right then. I had been at the restaurant for 45 minutes and still had no food. I flagged down my server and told her I had to leave because of an appointment. They did pack up the food to go, but have you ever tried to eat poutine in your car? I decided to at least take a bite before leaving. Took a BIG bite because at this point I was starving. No pineapple. I opened up the bun and there was no pineapple in sight, no cheddar cheese, no bacon jam. ALL of which this ripoff joint charges extra for. 2.50 for a slice of pineapple and the bacon jam. $1.50 for the cheese. I really needed to go, but went back in to tell her. She apologized and went into the kitchen and came back and said the pineapple was there. She had me life the patty. Yes, there was, I kid you not. 1/4 of a ring of pineapple slice. No wonder I didn't taste it. 2.50 for a quarter of a ring? So I paid 6.50 for toppings I essentially didn't get. She told me they took half off the burger for the extreme wait and the bill was still over $40! Horrid service, skimping on drinks and food. When you cheat your customers like this, they won't return. Did you really save anything? This place is overpriced anyway. When I eat out, I don't mind paying $100 for a bill with a good portion of quality food and a fairly priced drink. But this crap? I'll never go back again. They should call it The Ripoff Works. Done. Forever.

Cool place with some front window seats, 4 booths and a larger table that fits 10 or so people. Their specialty looks to be a juicy lucy aka patty stuff with cheese the melts when you cook it. I ended up getting a cheeseburger combo. The burgers are good. They're in tough competition with some really good burgers down the street...which are about $10+ more expensive though. Combo your meal for $4 which gives you fries and drink. I enjoy the fries as well. They also have some interesting sides like tornado fries, poutine, sweet potato fries and a few others which I think you can upgrade to. I'll be back to try other things but wanted to put it in your radar if you're in the area.

I didn't even know this was a thing before I stepped into this restaurant. The lovely lady at the front explained that it's essentially a halal way to have bacon, and it is pretty similar. Not quite bacon, but a good alternative. We added it to our burger but I ate it separately to get the full experience. I would go back here! Not sure I would add the bacon, but I would certainly enjoy a burger again.

My girlfriend and I went last Saturday and honestly I was a little underwhelmed. The burger was impressive but still didn't look like the one in the picture but besides that the burger felt like it was missing something. There was no zip, no special taste to it. I mean like it was good but a bit basic taste. Was hoping to be wowed but just wasn't happening. In a nut shell, a good burger but not a great one(taste wise). And the price for 1 Vatican burger combo and 1 bacon cheese burger combo was alil under 40 bucks. Not to crazy now a days but there are better burgers in the city.

I ordered the impossible burger (veg option) and the hubby asked for the spiciest burger on the menu. I forget what was recommended to him, but it had crispy jalapenos, and he said it was very hot, but good. We also ordered two fries on the side. We ended up bringing one home and reheating it later in the oven, and they were still delicious. The fries were very good, but on the saltier side. It also tasted like they were brined in vinegar before cooking? The hubby got the poutine and I did not like the gravy at all. It was a thick dark gravy, and there was no seasoning to it. I do not recommend the poutine. He liked it though. I devoured the impossible burger. It was great. Restaurant is small, and with the two of us and 2 small kids (who decided they didn't want to eat anything), the seating was a bit odd, with mostly tall tables and chairs with no backs. There were lower tables by the main entrance, but it was too cold to sit there with the door constantly opening. Most people were taking their meals to go. I'm glad I tried out Burger Priest finally. The food hit the spot.
