Absolutely brilliant. Can't say enough good things about it.
We walked in on a Wednesday evening & had immediately received a warm welcome from Adrian. He was super helpful with talking us through the different options on the menu & advising us what we might like - both with the food & especially when talking my partner through the vast selection of beers.
The burgers were amazing - I genuinely can't remember having a better one anywhere else. Top class sweet potato fries as well, & I highly recommend the coleslaw; it was unlike anything I'd had elsewhere, & not drowning in mayo like you get in so many places.
Overall, absolutely top marks. Can't fault it in any way. Even the music was great.
In fact, I do have one complaint: that there's only one of them. Normally this would be a massive plus point as I always want to support independents, but I'd happily make an exception for these if it means they open a branch in Liverpool in the UK!
Excellent place to have GOOD burgers. I asked for the doble patty with poutine, instead of French fries aside. Delicious. & a Sangria to drink. Nice place to have lunch or dinner. Excellent service. I recommend it a lot. Not expensive either.

EDIT AT THE BOTTOM BECAUSE OF THE OWNERS RESPONSE.
Normally I'm not someone to write reviews but my experience here was so bad it ended up partially ruining my monthly date night with my boyfriend, Wednesday the 27th March around 7-9 Pm.
While the food was mediocre, & there was many loud clanking noises from behind the bar, & the spacing of the tables was very cramped- my biggest issue was with the service received from our server Xena(I believe that was her name).
To start things off my boyfriend ordered a Buffalo Mac & cheese while I ordered a Buffalo Mac & cheese requesting the buffalo sauce be swapped for pesto, the fried cheese curds, & two milkshakes. We each took our turns ordering & there should have been no confusion with the order.
The waitress returns to our table with our cheese curds & let's us know that she made mistake & Input the wrong item so the kitchen had instead prepared a Buffalo poutine with my pesto modification & asks if we'd like it free of charge. Seeing as it was just a small mistake at the time, we accepted & agreed to wait until the rest of our food was made (pesto on Buffalo poutine was not the most palatable, but mistakes happen).
Fast forward a bit, & she arrives with one Mac & cheese & states it's the buffalo mac. We're missing one macaroni dish & just assume it's been delayed because of the poutine mishap. So we wait, & we wait, & we wait until she comes to check up on us & I ask her how long the second macaroni & cheese is going to be. Turns out she misunderstood our order & thought there was only one that we would share, even though my boyfriend & I were pretty clear.
We also ask when we will get our shakes, & she says they should be out soon. At this point it's been 40+ minutes since we initially ordered everything, two milkshakes do not take 40+ minutes on a relatively non busy night & arrive after everything else- & I'm convinced she forgot to input that as well. She also cleared away the poutine plate & took my boyfriend's fork with it.
We get our milkshakes not long after, & as the first Mac & cheese goes cold & dies we wait for my pasta. We get the pasta eventually & my boyfriend has to ask for another fork.
Another fork that she says she'll bring & then walks away, & surprise she never brings it. We watch her wander around right after saying she'll be right back with it too. We eventually ask another waiter & he immediately brings one in under 20 seconds.
We finished eating, but since on of our food has since gone cold. The night sort of feels ruined, our appetite is gone so we ask for our stuff to go & leave after paying.
I understand mistakes happen, the issue that it was one mistake after another in order & ultimately ruined our experience, which is ultimately a shame as my boyfriend has been here before & had not encountered these issues so I suppose it was just our luck with the server.
Edit/Response to the Owner:
I see the owner has responded to this review, & respectfully, if you have difficulty understanding something as simple as'Can I replace this sauce for this other sauce' after your customers take turns ordering, perhaps you should not be in food service.
I'm sure most other people have the ability comprehend'can I have x instead of y'. I also am sure that most people also understand that when one person says'I'll have this item' & the next person says'I will actually have one of those too' it means they EACH want one.'I know I can't understand what you ordered' goes crazy. It's actually kind of funny because it not only makes me doubt your customer service skills, but also your intelligence. But I digress, not everyone is capable of basic comprehension & I suppose I should be more tolerant of the mentally ungifted.
Additionally, trust me, Olivia Rodrigo playing did not make your place busy lol. I have eyes.
'Jokes' aside, what a sneaky little way of offloading responsibility onto the customer instead of taking accountability for what was simply just bad service.
Really nice place, I got a waygu burger & it was out of this world. They also serve a really tasty cocktail called the'Queen Bee.' The staff were friendly, & service was quick. Would definitely visit again
Absolutely loved this place, finally found a place in Montreal with real French fries & not those damn cavendish knock offs. I had the Nordiqes (mostly because I have been a die hard Nordiques fan my whole life & couldn't resist). I had no idea Quebec had their own wagyu beef! I was not disappointed, it was amazing. All 4 of us had a different burger & we all loved it!
Will definitely return on my next visit to Montreal!

Incredible food quality. I was with a party of four. We all loved our dishes. The quality of the burgers! I had the Quebecois. Delicious. The fries are outstanding. We shared the mac & cheese! Probably the best dish you would ever have!
I had consistently good experiences at this restaurant from 2019 to 2024, & it was one of my favorite places, especially because of their vegetarian options. I've always recommended it to friends & family visiting Montreal.
However, during my visit last Friday, the experience was disappointing. The veggie burgers were overly sour & salty, & the mac & cheese was very dry. While I don't mind the pricing, taste & quality are equally important.
This visit was a letdown compared to my past experiences, & it has made me reconsider whether I will return in the future. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously & improves the food quality.
When last night, the atmosphere here is amazing!! The friendly staff & the food was great!! My husband had a massive burger & it was so good! Best French onion soup ever!!
Loved it! It was my first time coming here with the team, & the food honestly surprised me - everything was so delicious. The server was super friendly & attentive, & the atmosphere was great. I'll definitely come again & recommend it to my friends?
Amazing burgers & service! 🍔
The staff were super friendly & the food came really fast. The burgers were juicy, flavorful, & came with a choice of salad or fries. We picked the fries & they were perfectly crispy & delicious! Highly recommend this place if you're craving a good burger.
We ordered Royal burger & super cheddar bison & I really liked the tastes of bison meat

Went with some friends before a concert. As there were 4 of us we booked a table that gave us plenty of time. Service was extremely slow. Over 30 minutes to take the drinks order & the food took over an hour to arrive
Tried this last & it was the best burger, fries & onion rings I've had in a very long time. & the service was amazing. If you're in downtown Montreal please try this hidden gem you won't be disappointed!!!
