Many visitors highlight the restaurant as a great spot to catch a game thanks to the numerous screens and vibrant atmosphere, often noting that the service provided by the staff is friendly, energetic, and professional. While the majority of guests have enjoyed memorable and welcoming experiences, some have reported inconsistencies in service quality, including issues with communication regarding dietary preferences and occasional delays during busier periods. Despite these mixed remarks, the establishment is widely regarded as a solid destination for a fun meal, particularly for those looking to enjoy hearty food in a lively, sports-oriented setting.
I had the Avocat du Diable burger, which is essentially a vegetarian option that can be made vegan. Ironically, there's no avocado in the burger despite the name. I opted for the vegan, gluten-free bun instead of the regular one (you have to specifically ask the waitress for it). My friend had the Swiss burger & enjoyed it. We also opted for the jerk fries, which were good, basically regular fries with a peppery seasoning. I had a 0.0% Peroni, while my friend tried the Red Stripe, a well-known Jamaican beer.
That said, the service really took away from the experience. Despite clearly mentioning multiple times that I'm vegan, my plate still came with a cup of basil mayonnaise. It's small details like that that make customers feel like their preferences aren't taken seriously.
We sat at the bar & were served by a young girl who seemed inexperienced & had a noticeable attitude. Right from the beginning, she talked back to me, which set the tone. At another point, while I was casually debating burger doneness with my friend, she became impatient & rude, which felt unnecessary & uncomfortable. There wasn't any major incident, but the overall vibe was unwelcoming.
Before going, I called to ask about the vegetarian option, & the person on the phone couldn't answer a simple question about what wasn't vegan in the burger. He had to check with the manager, who then spoke to me as if I had already been there & was complaining, which was confusing & off-putting.
It was a Friday night & the restaurant wasn't busy. The location is next to Baton Rouge at Carrefour Laval, with free parking available.
Overall, while the food is decent, it's not exceptional, & the poor service makes it unlikely that I'll return.
PS I'm only vegan during Lent which is essentially 40 days a year.
'Je ne comprenais pas pourquoi un si bel endroit était vide au début. Mais après avoir mangé le hamburger, j'ai compris pourquoi. Malheureusement, le goût de la viande était bien en dessous de mes attentes. Je vous conseille vivement de revoir la qualité & la saveur de votre viande. De plus, la serveuse semblait très peu motivée & peu impliquée dans son travail.
Food was good. However, be aware of the kids' menu. They don't have it printed for adults to consult. Meals are $14. They have 5 choices. Every topping on hamburgers are extra (cheese $2, bacon $3...). Sides are also extra (poutine $5, Cesar salad $3). So I paid 17$ for a drink, hot dog with Cesar salad & a small bowl of ice cream. Also paid $19 for 2 chicken tenders & a poutine. Not what I was expecting.
Les heures d'ouverture sont erronées, moi & mon amie nous sommes arrivé à 21h, sur la porte les heures d'ouvertures disent ouvert jusqu'à 23h, la porte était barré! J'ai donc appeler le restaurant pour me faire dire qu'ils étaient entrain de closer… à 2h de la fermeture! Vraiment déçu, moi & mon amie on avait très hâte de manger nos cornichons frits.
