Burgers & Shakes Inc

Hamburger restaurant

👍👍 The food was awesome, just what we needed after a day out. Burgers are a fantastic size, so are the ice-cream cones. You can tell the staff/cook work super hard to get all orders out in a timely manner. The woman working the register was very kind. The outdoor seating is great and it's even better w...

Fat Les's Chip Stand & Wham Burger!

Fast food restaurant

👍👍 Found this place during the pandemic but was not able to try because they were closed. Went there today as we were in the area and the staff was friendly and I must say that it was very delicious. The bacon cheeseburger was full of flavor and big. My girlfriend had the Cuban Cubano sandwich and w...

Pubblico Eatery

American restaurant

😠 Staff is really nice, but I got severe food poisoning from here and was out of commission, in agony, for 2.5 days. I wrote to management on their website but didn't hear anything back. It's a nice friendly place, but the food poisoning was just awful, and the lack of response quite jarring.

Big H Shawarma & Poutine

Mediterranean restaurant

😠 This was our favourite restaurant. But the last three orders we made were disappointing. However, we did not post a bad review or comment about the restaurant because we thought they were inadvertent mistakes or individual actions. Still, the repetition of the same method is worrying. Three times,...

Manhattan Handmade Burgers

👍👍 More people need to be aware of this place. It's absolutely a hidden gem. The burgers are generous portions for what you pay, and the patty is so soft. All ingredients are tasty and fresh. Served quickly, and a nice seating area nearby.

The WORKS Craft Burgers & Beer

Hamburger restaurant

👍👍 One of the best looking burgers I have ever seen! I ordered the “Love Goat” and the peppercorn coating offered some of the most flavourful tasting ever! The sesame bun, cheese, bacon, lettuce… everything tasted so fresh, and I was beyond happy! The onion rings were crispy to perfection, and I highly...

The WORKS Craft Burgers & Beer

Hamburger restaurant

👍👍 Went for a late night drink and bite after visiting one of the local businesses. Was told to sit wherever we want instead of the late nighters shoved into the same section ♥️. For a first timer the burger menu was a bit overwhelming, but I never felt rushed. Our server Kaitlyn was a delight and let...
