Little diner vibes and the burgers are AMAZING! Everything is fresh and the meat is juicy 😋

This is one of those hidden gems, the typical burger joint where you go to get a good bite to eat with some good company.
The guy who took my order was super cool, the people making the food were cool enough as well, the prices were reasonable and the burger itself was good!!
Everything was fine and would definitely come back again as long as they keep up these great things, it’ll be one of my main spots when I want a Charbroiled burger. 4.2/5 *

One of my favorite restaurants in the world. The perfect burger spot. Crisp thin patties, well toasted bun, fresh ingredients, all perfectly proportioned. Couldn’t recommend it any higher.

Long time customers here, nothing beats walking into a place to be greeted with the same familiar faces and smiles. The interior has been the same forever, and it needs to stay exactly the same to keep those old family run restaurant vibes. The most favourite food item here for us is the gravy! Yes, the gravy! A must for fries, the occasional onion ring finds it’s way to gravy too. The onion rings are marvellous, you can bite into an onion ring without the whole onion sliding out. The homemade 6oz burger is always a go-to, of recent though, the beef patties are slightly overcooked, leading to it being a little dry. The bun is so soft, perfect for keeping the “all you want” burger toppings in place. Small parking lot but with free parking.

Old school vibes with new school pricing.

I ordered the classic cheese burger with poutine not realizing their portions is huge compared to other classic burger joints in the city.

The burger was good it was just missing the charred tasting from the grill and the ingredients was fresh that also allowed you to choose your sauce.

The poutine was okay, nothing special but it satisfied my hunger.

Overall, I had an okay meal will not go out of my way unless someone wants to try. But I can see why this spot is a national institution in the hood as there were a lot of regs that stopped by on a Saturday afternoon.

Decent burger and fries. They have frozen 3 oz patties and 6 oz fresh patties. I had the 6 oz cheese burger with bacon and it was delicious. The fries were also crispy. It’s exactly what you expect from a classic burger and shake diner.
