It's a pretty simple recipe, yet the fries came out burned even with a timer. With prices going up, I'd expect more attention to quality. Maybe the owner should consider paying the staff well enough so they're motivated to care.

It's been over a year now since I've been coming here. I really like this place! I come here maybe once a week when I don't feel like cooking since I live close by. I usually get the Poutine & my sister gets the Cuisse.

I think the price is great for the amount of food & quality you get. I will say it depends who is working that day.. there are days where if I see a specific cook I know my food is going to be magnificent & if he's not there it's a hit or a miss. I don't complain though, again it's a pretty good deal for what you're getting.

It can get pretty busy during rush hours (lunch & after work rush) & it's pretty small so I never eat inside.

Amazing food & prices, but seating is a bit cramped. Still great for students!

I got the spicy piri bowl. The portion was very reasonable considering the price, the spice level was nice but I found it way too salty. I was also expecting the chicken to be sizzling hot as the cook just took it off the grill but it was only room temperature. The service was also a bit slow despite not having that many customers in line. It was a bit painful to see the staff move so slowly, cooking only a couple pieces of chicken at a time despite the grill being huge. The staff might just be new as they got someone else's order wrong twice. I wouldn't go out of my way to come eat here again but perhaps if I wanted a cheap bite in the area I'd consider it & try the other foods on the menu.
