| - I'll admit it. When these guys opened, I loved it. The food was good, and the prices were good. This is Kensington Market, and while it isn't always true, you hope to get a good lunch at a good price. Since I work in the market I've been to a lot of places. From the look of CFB, the name seems to fit. You expect a greasy burger, at a greasy price.
It had been a while since last visiting after arguing with the guy about how the special didn't include a drink this time. "Only water" he told me, as a compromise I guess. I had been there a dozen times before, but this time it cost more and didn't have my choice of drink. So after a long break from there, I decided to give them another try. Some pals of mine went by, and mentioned how good of a deal it was. "A burger, fries, and drink" for $5.65 total. That is a good deal, no? Well, not if you are a vegetarian like me, as it turns out. My food - no greater in size, weight or variety - cost DOUBLE! Does not-meat-stuff cost more? What sort of meat are they getting which is so much cheaper than a puny veggie patty?
So I don't expect to return. The food is good (the fries are very good), but the place is so damn inconsistent, and over priced (depending on what you order). It is - by all respects - a dive kitchen. If you want the special I'm sure you will be happy.
