| - The Works is pretty awesome. I happened to come by on Halloween, and the entire place was decorated with cobwebs and caution tape. The waiters were all in Halloween costumes too- so cute!
The menu offers up so many choices your head may start to hurt. You can customize what kind of bun, patty and side that you would like to eat. If you ask for water, they give you large measuring cups that contains 2 cups / 500 mL, which is great because I drink an insane amount of water whenever I eat. We got Tom Green (gouda cheese, beechhouse sauce, bacon, avocado) and a kid's size Strawberry Shake (8 ounces). The side was the Spicy Bold Slaw, which tasted pretty gross so I'd recommend not getting it.
I quite like their burgers! The patty is nice and juicy, and "made from 100% Canadian beef" (taken from their website). You drizzle in as much ketchup and/or mustard as you like. The combinations are fun and it's a very family-friendly restaurant. The milkshakes are quite frothy and delicious, but also very sweet, so if you don't really have a sweet tooth you should get the kid's size and not the regular, which is 16 ounces or 2 cups. The burger came a little slow but it was during lunch time, so The Works had a lot of customers at the time.
If I'm ever in the area again I would definitely come back to try out some of their other stuff. I respect that they use purely Canadian beef instead of some mash-up of mystery meat.
