I visited The WORKS just a few days ago after a day trip to Grand Bend. One of my friends has been demanding that we one day visit this restaurant if we are ever in the area, or she would drive us ourselves because we would fall in love with it just as much as she has.
We went in a group of 14, and they were quick to accommodate us. We had our table ready in less then 5 minutes, and were seated soon after.
First things first, service was top notch. The wait staff were quick with water refills, and the fact that everything was served in measuring cups had us laughing. They offered friendly chitchat and handled our large group with ease.
Secondly, the food was absolutely delicious. I got myself the 'Gettin Piggy with it' burger, with bottomless fries. True to what my friend said, it was one of the best burgers I've ever had. Canadian bacon, regular bacon, and crispy onions on top - along side my addition of ketchup and mustard.
After we were finished, we sat around for a few more laughs and friendly comments with the staff before we made our journey home out of London. They were quick with the bills, which was surprising since again we came with 14 people, but they were all happy with big smiles.
Overall if I'm ever in London again, I will be making a stop just for the works. They truly know how to work a good burger. Thank you for...
Read moreWe were celebrating a friend's birthday, so we were a good sized group. We didn't have reservations and we were there very close to noon but we didn't wait long for our table at all. After we were seated, our server explained the menu to us, which is a necessary step since, like the burgers, it's HUGE! There is an endless choice for burger toppings and you get to choose your bun and protein and yes, even vegetarians and gluten-free folks have choices. A couple of our group ordered the 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon burger and if that's not enough bacon for you, then you should probably check yourself into bacon rehab. I ordered the a peppercorn crusted burger and when they say peppercorn crusted, they aren't kidding. It was pretty fabulous. The burgers are enormous and they are served with generous portions for the sides, so it's a big meal. Only the big eaters in the group managed to finish it all.
The service was great, the food was excellent and the atmosphere is charming. The only reason I knocked off a star is because I found it pretty pricey for a burger joint. Considering what you get, that might not be entirely fair, but to make this review truthful, be aware that you'll be in the $50-$75 range for a couple with a couple of drinks.
Would I go again? Hell ya! But financially, it is a special occasion place, not a...
Read moreThe Works craft burgers in London, Ontario is a chain that I recently revisited after a long absence. It's conveniently situated in downtown London, though do keep in mind that you'll need to pay for parking.
One aspect that stood out is their inclusivity with gluten-free options available for those with dietary restrictions. A unique touch is the way they serve drinks in giant Pyrex measuring glasses, which adds a quirky charm to the experience.
The staff at The Works are not only friendly but also attentive to your needs. The restaurant itself is well-maintained, and the open windows provide a breath of fresh air.
Their burgers are cooked to perfection, with a delightful medium-well preparation. While the menu is extensive, the star of the show here is undoubtedly their burgers. While the sides are decent, opting for onion rings, sweet potato fries, or a Caesar salad comes at a relatively higher cost.
The buns and burgers are both delicious, and even the gluten-free bun is a satisfying option. Overall, we had an enjoyable time at The Works and would highly recommend it, thanks to its wide array of choices to cater to various...
