| - OK; let's start by stating that I am NOT some high brow snob, bashing a burger joint.....this place just ain't good.
I was reading reviews of where to find a good burger for a good price in Montreal, and this place had great reviews, so I thought that I would give it a go.
One common comment in the reviews was that the service was slow and not the friendliest. I have to disagree. The service was the best part of my experience. It could be that I was there before the dinner crowd (5:15pm); who knows, but the staff was quick, attentive and friendly.
The food is another story. I ordered the "Classic Burger", which comes garnished with American cheese (processed cheese slices...OK, not a problem), lettuce, and bacon. All this seems OK, until you take a bite, maybe 2.....let's see if third time is a charm? It wasn't until my 4th bite that I actually got to ....meat? All bun with a small patty. What ever kind of beef this was, had all sorts of gristle and hard bits that I don't think you're supposed to eat. Dry and tasteless.
It came with fries (thin, shoestrings....which were fine, not spectacular).
I ordered a side of Mac'n cheese (because a couple of reviews raved about it, not because I needed fries and pasta). The Mac'n cheese was completely flavorless. It was like the sauce was thickened milk with a yellow crayon melted in, for colour. They sprinkled a bit of minced green onion on top.....that was about the only taste it had. When I asked for catsup, I got a couple of take out packets. The bill was only $7.50 (I had nothing to drink). Sounds like a good deal, right? Wrong. I would have actually preferred a Big Mac combo.....same price, tastes better, and larger portion.
Unless you are some 19 year old college kid, wanting a cooler place than Mac D's to hang out....I'd give this a pass.
