C'est dommage car le service était très bon & la deluxe vient avec une bonne quantité de viande, mais spongieuse avec presque pas de goût. On dirait de la viande artificielle ou manufacturée. Quel gaspillage d'argent.

La poutine au smoke meat est délicieuse, (mais genre vraiment). Le fromage s'étire, la sauce est parfaite, pareillement pour les frites 🤩.
Les employés sont super gentils & dynamiques 🔋🔋🔋.
Il y a un grand choix de boissons, il y a du ketchup, moutarde & vinaigre directement sur la table.
Si je reviens dans ce coin, j'irai sûrement ici.
😋😋😋
