The burger meat seemed to be frozen form the supermarket, the fries were very tasty & crunchy (american style). The bun was fresh. The atmosphere was nice. Service was friendly but not super fast

Nous avons regarder sur le site internet lheure que le restaurant fermait il était indiquer 22h00. Par contre, au restaurant on a su que sa fermait a 21h. A 8h20 on se faisait pousser tranquillement a lexterieur les serveuses qui passait le balai montant les chaises sur les tables. Merton que on fait pas trop envie de rester & c'était surement le but qu'on s'en aille. Bref en plus du tartare & les petits pains trop cuit dur comme de la roche. Salade au poulet pas du tout appetissante je nais pas manger ou presque. Elles nont meme pas eu lamabilite de faire un petit rabais ou quelque chose pour compenser. En plus on a été sympathique & genereux ! Ça Laura été notre dernière visite cet endroit ca c'est sure !

Service was good, but the food was far below expectations. We got nachos, & ut was small & only 20% of the cheese was melted, it was all just cold cheese below. 3/10 , then I had the burger, with bacon. It gad a single, tiny, thin bit if bacon. I do celebrate the fact this minicual bit of bacon was likly removed from the pig with out any effect on it's health & it is still living a long & healthy life.

We were happy the staff was able to accomodate our celiac daughter & they had good knowledge of what was in each food item on the menu. Friendly service. Good fries with dipping sauce. Our only complaint is the beef patties in our burgers were the premade frozen type - not the best pub burger.
