The food was much better than typical fast food & was ready quickly. They were so kind & checked in to make sure we were enjoying everything. The portions were generous & great value for the price!!
Seriously the most incredible food & service. So happened to stumble upon this place by accident & fell in love with the food immediately. Best smash burgers anyone, oh & the lentil soup is heavenly! The staff are so wonderful & kind!
I hate going to places 30 minutes before they close. We ended up staying 15 minutes past closing. It was cold -18 nd my wife & I wanted to try this place out. One word for the owner: welcoming. Amazing service, food was delicious, had the steak poutine. We spoke to Rakib one of the employees, he was warm, kind & welcoming as well. I will definitely be coming back with my wife but earlier next time

Really nice restaurant with a warm & welcoming atmosphere. The staff were very friendly & seated us promptly. We were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary soup, which was delicious, as well as free bottles of water. The burger & steak poutine were both very good & well prepared. Overall, a great experience,would definitely recommend this place.

A small restaurant that deserves to be known. Very good smash burgers, ordered on-site, piping hot & delicious, & a free homemade soup. Very friendly & highly appreciated. I love it & recommend it 100%!
First time here! I was greeted with smiles & great service. Sat down & was served this delicious soup free of charge! The burger was perfect, juicy & flavorful. Fries were crispy & seasoned well. I'll definitely be coming back for more!
Great place & very friendly staff. Kids enjoyed the soup, popcorn chicken poutine, & Caesar salad. Smash burger & fries well made. This place is a gem.
Very good resto! Their combo special comes with a warm hearty bowl of soup to start, the smash burger tastes like good beef & the atmosphere was quite lovely. The man serving was a shy & very polite man who was happy to see we enjoyed our food!
