When I have to buy lunch I seek independent businesses. This one is a gem! Small dining area with a few tables. Lovely service and amazing food. I stopped after a business meeting nearby and stayed here to eat. The food they made was all fresh and delicious. I had the BHT (Bacon Ham & Turkey) with a side of fries. Portion was huge too!

The issue with this establishment is the food. The "Poutine" they serve does not have cheese curds; this is pure laziness and false advertising. The gravy they use on the poutine and other such items is canned, not warm and chunky. Please do not sprinkle shredded cheese on y poutine.
I figured this was a one off; I gave them another chance. I ordered the fish and chips. The fish doesn't have a crunchy batter; it's soaked in oil, and the fish and fries did not come with a sheet of paper in the bottom so the grease pooled and made the food more soggy.
