| - I had high hopes for this place - a good burger place in Oakville would be a nice addition to our office lunch rotation. Sadly, that search will continue.
Where to even begin?
The menu was confusing - it was not immediately obvious that the difference between Regular and Small was the size of the patty, not the sides. This led to a lot of confusion in our party. Actually getting the burger topped, we were presented with a very nice array of choices - five different cheeses alone! - and astounding ineptitude when it came to fulfillment. I had to repeat each topping twice for the staff member to actually put it on the burger, and even then they nearly omitted my bacon. I'm fairly certain I got a small patty rather than the regular I paid for.
The burger itself was quite dry and tasteless - our group generally felt that McDonald's would have been an improvement. The toppings were good, however, but that's hardly enough to constitute a meal. The fries were not up to normal New York Fries standards, and I have it on good authority that the Poutine was unacceptable - cold gravy and unmelted cheese curds.
Portion sizes were oddly small given the price. The drink was a regular, which would probably be a small at a more honest establishment, and was in the realm of a kid's size by US standards (which are, however, wack). Fries were also on the order of a small at other establishments.
The kicker, however, was the price. My combo - "regular" drink, small fries, and a bacon cheeseburger, came to about $13. I wouldn't mind so much if I'd enjoyed, say, the burger part of the meal, but alas.
Maybe some of this can be attributed to growing pains. Maybe the fry quality and burger taste will improve, though I don't expect the value for money to move much at all. I, however, am not likely to witness any such transformation, as I doubt I'll be back.
