| - I really wanted to like this place...its close to home, has a neat sign, and specialized in burgers! It just opened a month or two ago, and I'm always up for supporting new business.
I was sadly disappointed.
The menu has all the usual burger joint stuff...pulled pork, bison burgers, poutine, onion rings, etc. But they also have vegetarian and vegan choices, as well as gluten-free buns available. Their focus is on local, healthy food, and even their buns and condiments are made in-house. According to their website, they also do catering with quite an upscale and varied menu.
The decor was quite nice...modern, upscale, and very, very clean! And an added bonus...fully stocked bar! I would probably come here for drinks and fries.
We both got the traditional burger, whole wheat bun, and jarlsberg cheese, with a side of poutine. And of course, a Mill Street Organic each. Total: 45 bucks!!!! 45 BUCKS!!!!
Thats quite a lot....especially since it wasn't even that good! The burgers were quite dry, and I didn't care for the in-house ketchup-like condiment.
The poutine was really good though. Port-reduction gravy made in-house with cheese (supposed to be curds...but definitely weren't. Still tasted great though!) But the portion was really small for 6 bucks.
I feel bad...we were the only ones in there at 9 pm on a Saturday night, and a few blocks away Craft Burger was exploding at the seams with patrons. I really wanted to like this place, but I just can't. between the burger, portions, and price...its just not good.
