Has some redeeming qualities, but overall not a great meal, for a sky-high price.
I had the OG Wagyu burger, and while the patty was extremely juicy and flavourful, the burger as a whole fell flat; the bun was good but maybe half the size of the patty, after paying $3 for cheese I could only see the faintest trace of what looked like two shreds of cheese on the burger, the caramelized onions while delicious were heaped on and overwhelmed the rest of the flavours, the bacon was extremely tough and almost impossible to chew so the entire strips came out on my first bite (it was excellent bacon I would've loved on a breakfast plate, but not at all something that should be put on a burger).
The poutine was so-so, good fries and tons of really good cheese curds but a really light-coloured gravy, maybe made of chicken stock or having cream added or something, not an authentic dark Quebecois poutine gravy. Ordered a small poutine with my burger and the poutine was definitely on the upper side of what I'd consider a medium, way more than I could finish with the burger at lunchtime, and I'm a guy with a big appetite; hate to waste food so I wish the small was more apt to its name.
Paid $37 for the meal, which is pretty crazy for a burger, small poutine, and drink; I thought another known-to-be-expensive burger chain with a location in town is expensive at $22 for a combo with fries, but $37 is in the territory of a steak dinner, and while the patty was great I'd say the burger as a whole put it below the competition of chain competitors, as well as other local gourmet burger joints. If they could drop their prices by half and improve the rest of the burger to stack up with the patty, I'd probably be here...
Read moreWe’ve been wanting to try otter creek for a while ! And we were in the mood for a good burger and we got it! We opted to order two combos and share so we could try more options. We put our order in on their website and it was ready right on time! Their site had full description and pictures of all menu items and was easy to navigate, order, and pay - high five to whomever developed it. Lil Smoke eh Canuck on a brioche bun was delicious and so flavourful. Every bite was mouth watering. It’s a sweet and savoury option that comes across very gourmet. lil thousand islands was exactly what I expected and very satisfying. Big Mac flavour but better ingredients.
The 3oz patties are thin so if you want meaty you need to double up. But be warned wagu has a lot of fat/marble so 3 oz will still sit heavy.
The fresh cut fries are perfect and so appreciated. We tried the garlic fries and poutine. The garlic fries were delicious and so buttery - I would ask for more parmesan cause I’m a sucker for it. I was a little disappointed with the poutine only because there wasn’t enough gravy to melt my curds. But the gravy was tasty and the curds were nice and squeaky.
If you are looking for a good burger I would recommend. It’s a little pricey but the quality and service is worth it. I would return and would love to try some of their other items too ❤️🙏 ps if you want dessert Macs bakery has...
Read moreWe had Otter Creek Kitchen cater our wedding this past weekend and I truly can't recommend them enough. All our guests were raving about the food and have said it was the best wedding food they'd ever had, especially the buttermilk fried chicken. Beyond delicious food, they were an absolute breeze to communicate with from the first point of contact which meant a lot to us. Francois and William were so organized, thorough, and professional in their communications leading up, and on the day of they executed our cocktail hour canapés and buffet dinner flawlessly. Their staff were also so helpful and kind, even checking in on us several times to make sure the bride and groom had gotten something to eat as we were running around. They were on top of every detail and even took on additional tasks we didn't ask them to do such as setting up our donut wall when they saw our bridesmaids beginning to do it. If you hire Otter Creek Kitchen for your wedding or event you will not be disappointed! Thanks again Francois and William, as well as to your...
