| - I am always dubious of gourmet burger places, after too many experiences of them that really left me wanting more I rarely go out to get a burger (except Harveys and Woody's in Etobicoke in Ontario!). This place is unfortunately the same. We arrived around 5ish after a good hike near Canmore and wanted to try the milkshakes and burger that our friend had raved to us while on the hike (a slight hike impairment may have also contributed to this as we were all hungry and tired). We got in line, which was growing while we got there, so be warned long lines and kids do not mix. But we were hopeful the long line ups were a good sign of the food and drink, especially the drink! We saw pretty much every patron with an elaborate and diabetic inducing milkshake, so at the cash I ordered the turkey bacon burger and a cappuccino milkshake. We sat down and waited for what seemed like at least 30min to get our food and drink. Mind you the place was swamped so I won't beat them too much on the wait, but it still sucked. We chatted briefly with the young ladies beside us as they had been there for what seemed long before we arrived, they had a burger and plate of fries and after talking with them they were waiting on their milkshakes before chowing down. I had to get up and ask for water at one point when no one came out to give us some, they came promptly after that. Then finally our burgers came out one by one, and again we had two people ask for the beers they had ordered, which came out shortly after. Our milkshakes hadn't arrived yet, so instead of waiting we ate instead. The turkey burger had a delicious sauce, lettuce, crispy bacon and some sharp cheddar cheese, although the burger itself was fairly dry, which was disappointing as my homemade burgers always end up so juicy! Finally the milkshakes arrived halfway through our burger eating, and it was a masterpiece! Big dallop of whip cream, coffee in the bottom and thick milkshake consistency. I really enjoyed it :)
Overall, if you want the burgers maybe take your chances, otherwise the milkshakes are really the big deal and worth the wait :) Also come at quieter hours so you aren't waiting around, not sure what those hours would be but I could take a gander of probably between 2-4 and 10-11.
