    Poutine

    The food was great! Loved the poutine! The smokey burger was really yummy and I upgraded my fries to poutine. The cheese curds were really good.

    I really want to give 3.5, but I will cut the place some slack because it is not a total ripoff and actually has a faint element of edge. If that is possible in Burlington. Had lunch with my brother and it was understaffed. Service was not attentive. Burgers were as good as people say, fries were overly salty, my creamsicle milkshake was awesome. It is trying to be a balancing act between family resto and a place where some brews and bourbon could be enjoyed.

    Taste of Heaven (burger)

    Had a good experience at the restaurant in Kitchener and wanted to come back. Ordered "Taste of Heaven" and an order of Onion Rings on the side. The burger was good. The burger didn't taste gamey, which something I didn't want to experience. Other than the patty, it also had bacons and onion in it. Overall, it's not bad. The onion ring had a crispy crust but seems like they were over cooked a bit because they were in dark brown. Luckily they were not burnt yet. Other than the food, the waitress was friendly and offered good customer service. The only negative comment I have is the restaurant has an unpleasant smell and there were flies flying around near where I sat. Not a pleasant atmosphere.

    We ordered a couple of burgers from this place with onion rings and poutine. It's a little pricey with most burgers over $12. And, they like to charge you extra for all kinds of things, it's just crazy how they nickel and dime you here. The poutine was okay, but did not have any cheese curds, it looked like mozzarella. The burgers were big and cooked well, but I didn't feel it was a $14 burger. The onion rings were the best part being crispy and large n size.

    Amazingly delicious burger. I had the Man Cave and it was perfectly cooked. Service was really nice. Fries were crispy and warm. Overall great night!

    I would love to return to this restaurant on a day when I am feeling more adventurous and not counting calories. Just reading the variety of burger topping combos they offer makes me excited for my next visit! They are definitely creative here and offer some interesting options for those who'd like to take a risk. My friend ordered a burger with peanut butter and bacon on it -- she gave it a thumbs up. I also like that they have a variety of sides to choose from in addition to some interesting mayo flavours. I ordered a veggie burger and honestly could've left out the gluten-free bun because the burger patty was huge and very filling. Next time I'll indulge in a more unique meal and update this review!

    Amazing place to get some burger around downtown Burlington. Went there to grab some dinner and it was great. Place was little empty, but people started coming afterwards. I liked their decorations and their styles. Ordered the Six Degree of K'vin Bacon with poutine as a side and a Moosehead lager. Food took some times to come out, but it was worth the wait. The burger filled me up and tasted amazing. Overall, this place was worth it for dinner and looks exactly as the other venues in Ontario.

    Incredible service. The waitress ordered us everything she loved. And it was incredible! Trust us. Let your waitress decide your fate.

    Great cold beer, I like the fact that they give you drinks and measuring cups. The waitress was pretty friendly and helpful in describing the food on the menu. Because the men you can get a little overwhelming with over 30 different variations of burgers. You can choose from regular ground beef, Kobe wagyu beef, chicken or veggie burger. overall a good experience and great burgers

    The hamburgers here are excellent. If you are in this area or even if you're not, stop and come…read morehere. The service was great. Nice and friendly. Nice location located in downtown USA Main Street cute cute little town. Parking only on one side of the street. Don't forget to feed the meter. You will get a ticket. I tried the main burger on the menu with everything on it and it was delicious. The meat was very flavorful and cooked just the way I like it medium rare. I ordered tater tots and onion rings, they were very accommodating and did half-and-half, but I will tell you if I go back here I would get a full order of the onion rings. Homemade batter, hand dipped, and so so good. It is one of the most perfect onion rings I've ever had. The only reason I won't be coming back here anytime soon is because I live in California and I was just visiting. I was visiting Friends and Family in Milton and drove 35 minutes to get here and it was well worth it. Except for the parking ticket. lol

    Stopped by for lunch on our way to Niagara Falls. We chose to sit at the bar instead of at a table…read morebecause even though there was a sign saying to wait to be seated, no one came and greeted us. Service was honestly pretty bad. The lady serving us was rude and I understand she may be the only one manning the tables, but it honestly was not too busy since only 4 tables taken and it was not peak hours, but the tone she kept using with us to "give her a second" was not pleasant. We ordered a BBQ chicken chop salad, the original hamont burger with fries, and two beers. Food took a while to come out. Salad was really fresh but I didn't know it came with beans, which I'm not a fan of. Burger was honestly a bit too salty and dry for me. I also tried asking for ranch for my fries but was told it's an additional $2CAD?! That's pretty expensive for someone from SoCal since sauce is usually free or at most 25 cents in LA. Parking was convenient because we were lucky and found metered parking right iufside

    So a bit of a misleading name as there is no longer a charcoal pit there. Rather, meat is cooked on…read morethe gas grill. However, there's not ethical issue as that's the name they had when they opened 50 years ago - so I can't blame them for not changing it. The menu is effectively, burgers, hot dogs, fries, poutine and pita/souvlaki type items. We went with the chicken souvlaki combo with fries. Both the fresh cut fries and meat was cooked to order. Pretty simple, but as the saying goes "good food makes good food". Perfectly cooked chicken with a nice char that was well-seasoned in advance. The tzaziki was authentic and went well in the wrap with lettuce, tomato and the grilled onions available at no extra charge. Fresh-cut fries are always a win. Similar tasting to the fries at Swiss Chalet. Seems like a place that you can't really go wrong with if you're in the mood for this type of thing, and good location right off the lake.

    We used to go here lots but had not been there in a while but was there a week ago…read more Things have certainly gone down hill. The burger was Ok but the chips were definitely reheats of old fries!! Over done and on the cold side. Went downstairs to use the washroom and the ladies was GROSS!!! It has not been cleaned in a very very long time!!! I was not certain I wanted to use it - I have been in Africa and used lots of squat-a-potties but this was BAD!!! Not sure how they passed health inspection!!! Won't be going back again.
