Our family went for the first time tonight and tried a variety of items. Everything was great! Our favorites were the chili cheese dog, teriyaki chicken burger, and the Canadian burger. Service was excellent, they were super nice and patient while we were trying to figure out our order. We will definitely be going back.

I'm a truck driver from Winnipeg who loves trying out small places like this, the owner said I wouldn't regret stopping and he was absolutely right!! That one was of the best burgers I've had in a very long time, so much flavor, perfectly cooked and well represented. I got the Double Mozza Burger and added mushrooms to it and boy was that freaking good! Great job

Finally stopped. Ordered double mushroom with cheese and the red sauce. Along with deep fried mushrooms. Liquorice milkshake. Thick and nice taste. Fried mushrooms were very hot burger was almost perfect a part of the patty was over done. So nice that there burger was close to the baron with mushrooms. Place was clean. Won’t wait so long to try it. Friendly and happy.

Fairly priced and generous portions. Very pleasant staff, very clean diner on the side of the road. We had the double mexican burger which had great flavour! The pepper cheddar burger, not a lot of pepper but still a nice burger. Our sides were fries and broccoli cheddar bites which we haven't had before so we didn't know what to expect but they were very good!! Rich but good, will order those broccoli cheddar bites again!
