The service was so incredibly genuine & sweet. The staff made the experience lovely. They took the time to explain the menu, & make sure we liked it. All in a warm, family, welcoming vibe.
We had a good time contemplating the drawings on the wall from previous guests. Thank you & we will come back for sure ❤?

Best place for a burger!! Amazing flavors & quality in every bite. Family owned, just amazing vibes. When we went, we could put our ticket order on the wall, which adds a warmth to the decoration. Great for takeout.

Picked this place because we wanted a poutine & they came up with several good reviews on their poutine. Walked up & found a tiny hole-in-the-wall place steps off of Sainte-Catherine that couldn't hold more than 10-12 people. Looks like they are family run.
Wife & I shared a double burger & poutine & I have to admit both were excellent. The portion was large enough that it was sufficient to feed both of us for lunch. Hot & fresh, I guarantee I'll come back next time I am in Montreal.

My son wanted me to give this ten stars out of five. The poutine was really great, & the burger I had was fantastic. The people running the place are delightful & kind, & if you like little family run places with great vibes & good food, then this is the place to go.

Been in Mtl since 2017, but I didn't know this place existed until my fiancé told me where he usually gets his kogo, & i am glad that he introduced this place to me😎😉💜 Food: Oh Em Geeh, yes for sure tons of fats, but hey, it's what I came for, lol. Love the burger. You get to choose what you want in your burger. Deep fried potato Kogo 😋 👌 *raawwr* it was goood & good value =) Atmosphere: a diner experience, don't expect too much 💜😘❤️ Service was good, I think this is a family business, & it's well run 😀
