Read moreI don’t usually write reviews, but this experience made me feel like I had to warn others.
From the moment we sat down (before even eating), the cashier with the fried perm came over and told us no outside food could be eaten, even though we had already ordered food for multiple people. Fair enough — but the issue was how aggressively and repeatedly he singled us out. We were reminded 3+ times, while I personally saw others walk in with open drinks and food without being spoken to once.
When our food finally arrived and we were actually eating the burgers and poutine we paid for, he came back again to tell us to leave if we had sushi in the bag. At that point, I told him he could have just asked us to put it away instead of threatening to kick us out — especially when we had given this place our business.
As for the food itself: my sister recommended this spot because she had a good experience a year ago, but honestly it was not worth the hype. The cheeseburgers were mediocre at best, and the poutine was average. Combine that with the rude and aggressive customer service, and it was definitely not a vibe.
I wouldn’t recommend this place at all. There are too many better spots to spend your money where you’ll be treated with...
Read moreWe stopped here on our way to a show nearby the other day. I wanted a burger so badly, so this is where we landed. When we arrived into the very narrow entry my ears were immediately assaulted with the speaker placed right beside the door, very loud. The gentleman at the end taking our order looked like he would rather be on fire, and had headphones in. He mumbled while we ordered and I couldn't hear anything he said die to the fans, the incredibly loud music, and the fact that he would barely speak. I asked if we should sit or if we need to wait and was told to sit. The man left to the back, and a woman continued to cook while chatting with a woman in the walkway. No one brought our drinks and I eventually had to just get up and take them out of the fridge myself because there was no one around to ask. The food was fine, when it was eventually brought to us by the woman who was chatting with the cook, who did not appear to work there, but was nothing special. When the man finally return from what I assume was his break, he just leaned on the counter while on his phone, while the woman cooking never stopped busting her ass.
This awful experience in customer service has basically determined that I won't...
