Mirabel

Poutine Burgers Sandwiches Comfort Food

Review Summary

Ashton is a new addition drawing mixed reactions across reviews. Some diners praise items like the roast beef sandwich and burgers, noting fresh fries and flavorful cheese and gravy, while others slam the poutine for being under sauced, lukewarm or cold, with portions that disappoint and a taste that falls short compared with expectations or other local spots. Service is described as variable, with some reports of slow, long waits at the newer Mirabel location or during busy times, and other visits highlighting fast, friendly service and clear menu explanations; at times staff are described as still finding their rhythm. Price is a recurring point, with several reviewers calling values high for the quality, while a few appreciate the local, fresh approach and the choice to order a la carte rather than bundles. Milkshakes and other items receive praise from some, and there is a sense that Ashton brings welcome variety and a refreshing vibe to the area, with many indicating they would return to try different dishes, even as others say the current execution keeps them from returning.View restaurant profile
