| - My girlfriend and I went here on Good Friday, as we were shocked that the business was open. We were seated much quicker than usual: the wait times are indeed a bit long, but that's to be expected when you're such an awesome burger place.
We were totally fascinated with the decor. The lightbulb salt and pepper shakers were a nice touch, and I laughed until I cried at the bathrooms being called "dumping stations". I was tempted to press one of the buttons on the wall, if I wasn't afraid of what would happen if I did (PS: they don't work).
The server was a young woman whom I believed was named Katie. Very nice girl, and was extremely helpful with making choices on the menu. She made a great burger recommendation and was very accomodating to my girlfriend, who is a vegetarian. She ended up ordering a tofu patty. Way to go, Works, for thinking of the vegetarians!
The free refills on drinks was a godsend, as the drinks are served in a one-pint measurng cup, which ensures that you get a lot of pop for the 3$ or so you pay. I was a bit annoyed that the root beer isn't served in a measuring cup as well; I think it's a bit too "hipster" to serve root beer in a bottle, and too many places do that.
The burgers are delicious, juicy and very filling. My girlfriend got the "Gotta Be KD" burger on a tofu patty, and I got the one with BBQ sauce and bacon (forget what it was called: it was a new offering on their MASSIVE burger menu). The burgers were layered with perfection, and I never once felt the need to season my burger with ketchup or mustard.
The price of the food was ideal. We ended up paying about 40$ for just food and pop, (generous) tip included. This is a really reasonable price, on par with the Kelseys in the area.
Would definitely return. One of the best restaurants on Lakeshore, hands down.
