Overall, it's a decent place, but value could be better & some fine tuning. This place was once an institution in the area. Food over all is good. However, the slab of raw onion the put on a burger overpowers the burgers' nice flavor. Their use of dipping the bun & steaming them does make them soft but almost like soggy bread. Their portions are a bit on the small side for a $13-$15 burger & fries. As much as $20 if you want a poutine. I had a burger & fries with a beer, & it was over $28, & I left hungry. I thought about getting another sm fries ($4), but my partner was almost finished, so we just settled & left. The atmosphere was fine other than the fruit flies that wouldn't leave us alone, the taped up booth, & the mens washroom with a hole in the floor. Staff was pleasant & attentive. Tips: make the fires size a bit bigger with the burgers, use a larger bun to withstand the steaming/ddipping. Maybe dip a bit less & throw it on the grill. Possibly add an oz or two to the patty to keep the balance of the larger bun with meat.

Good burgers, but if you like real cheese be forewarned that it looks like they use simili-cheese slices. (ie kraft slices)
