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.
