A place that has been on my to-try list for so long and this evening we finally had a chance to give it a go. Leonard’s House of Love eager to please.

Tonight we ordered the Double Cheeseburger, Blue Cheeseburger, Hot Glazed Tenders and Poutine Fries which came out to a total of $70~ with Approx. 25min wait time from ordering to receiving our food.

The order came out nice and fresh which we were pleased to see. The hot glazed tenders was great, lightly coated with a spicy glaze it gave a nice kick. The only problem would be the chewy texture, the batter felt too layered giving it less of a crispy crunch and more of a soft chew. It was still as juicy and tender so can’t complain.

The poutine fries on the other hand was cooked well. The fries were nice and crisp and the gravy was well seasoned. It only lacked in consistency but was great overall.

Now to the main part. The Double Cheeseburger was the most anticipated dish to come out and it did not disappoint. Structured well the first bite was quite the symphony.From the soft bun to gooey melted cheese meeting the seared meat patties my eyes lit up. Literally. A well seasoned taste, it was a well balanced burger not giving too much of the meaty taste but was also not too over seasoned. It does lose some points though, the burger misses on acidity, definitely needs something to accentuate the taste of the meat.

Although the burger itself was great the addition of the Blue Cheese for myself was bit to overpowering. I’ve tried many Blue Cheese items before but this time it was a little bit too overwhelming, the strong pungent taste quickly took over the flavours of the burger and steered it onto a different course. Maybe an addition of tartness could help. (If you’re a blue cheese fan it still is worth the try!)

Overall this restaurant was a good first impression. The immediate greeting of cheer and great service even whilst being so busy was already enough to start with and to end it with good food I think it’s deserves a rating. Hope to be back soon!
