Wonderful hospitality at this cute place. I wasn't hungry but the owner still gave my friend & I delicious complimentary soup. The smash burger was looking delicious & tasting authentic, & the owner & service is so pleasant & kind. Feels like you're eating at home.
One of the best burgers in town 😋👌 the service is great, we had a lovely soup & drinks as precursor but the burgers were definitely the highlight. We will be going back here for sure, sending our best ❤?🧡💛
10/10. If you are looking for a place to eat some good poutine, this is the spot!! It was super fresh & tasty. I also ate their soup & smash burger & it was great. They greeted me with the best hospitality. Will be coming back when I'm in the area again.
The smash burger was amazing & is probably the best in Montreal. Additionally to the smash burger we got legume soup. The owner was very kind & attentive. Definitely a recommend & we will visit again.
A very family friendly restaurant, staff is super nice & they always give a smile to put on a face . I definitely recommend especially the soup of the day & the smash burger!!

This is a hidden gem. Best steak sub I ever ate.....loaded with juicy steak, delicious. Can't wait to try their double smash burger. Very reasonable prices.
Commençons avec le positif: la soupe offerte est délicieuse & les frites, bien faites, fraîches & bonnes. Le propriétaire semble gentil & l'accueil est courtois. Mais en anglais seulement. Personne ne parle français parmi les trois travailleurs présents.
Par ailleurs, le concept de smash burger a besoin d'être revu. La galette de viande est microscopique & n'est aucunement saisie & croustillante. Le burger est garni de légumes frais, mais on goûte davantage l'oignon que la viande, parce que la tranche d'oignon est plus grosse que celle de viande. La poutine au boeuf goûte tout sauf la poutine, & le fromage n'a pas la texture ni le goût du fromage en grains à poutine.
Enfin, la propreté est à revoir sur plusieurs points dans le restaurant avec, entre autres, la porte des toilettes qui est très sale. Aussi, il n'y avait plus de savon dans la salle de bain, ce qui est peu rassurant quand on considère que les autres clients toucheront les mêmes articles de table que nous, & que les employés préparent notre nourriture, avec des mains lavées à l'eau…
