🌊 Burlington Food Guide｜Birthday Weekend Hits & Misses

Spent a sweaty but delicious birthday weekend in Burlington Downtown - here’s the food scoop! 🦞 Must-Visit: Jake's Grill & Oyster House 📍 Location: Burlington Downtown ✨ Highlights: Lobster Linguine: Sweet, fresh lobster with rich sauce - insane value! Spicy Mussels: Plump mussels in tangy tomato broth, perfect with bread. Beef Brisket Tacos: Tender beef with creamy-spicy toppings. Cajun Calamari: Crispy with a kick, not greasy at all! 💰 Price: ~$30-40pp (way cheaper than Toronto!). 🚫 Skip: Spencer's at the Waterfront 📍 Location: 1340 Lakeshore Rd ⚠️ Why Avoid: Lobster Rolls: Tiny & bland, not worth the price5. Brunch Portions: Shrunk but prices didn’t. Slow service too5. Only Pro: Lakeside views (but food ruins it). 🍩 Dessert: The Sunshine Doughnut Co. 📍 Location: 439 Brock Ave 🍓 Verdict: Famous giant doughnut sign is gone. Limited flavors left late-day. Strawberry Vanilla: Decent but not mind-blowing. 🌅 Burlington Tips Lakeside Walks: Best at sunset (daytime = too hot!). Downtown Shops: Fewer boutiques now, but still charming. #BurlingtonEats #TorontoFoodie #LobsterPasta #FoodFails
