    Bathroom is always closed for "cleaning" after certain time.  Nobody can come in to wash their hands after handling money.
    Maria V.

    My family and I frequent this establishment at least once a month because we used to dine here as kids and of course the coupons are hard to pass! I don't really have any problem with their food nor its quality, rather its their staff. I think they take the cake on LAZY and here's why: Whenever I come to this place after 7pm, the washrooms are ALWAYS, always closed for "cleaning" *see pic. I can't even go and wash my hands after touching money! I finally asked the lady mopping and all she said is that "its broken" then I said I just need to wash my hands and she said its "broken" then I said "fine, i'll just use the toilet" then she said that was "broken too" Somehow I find that hard to believe. I've been to this location handful of times and I believe I've only gone to the washroom ONCE in the day time. One night my husband and I came in 30 min before closing and they gave us really nasty stares. I apologized and asked if they were closing (knowing full well there was 30 mins left) they said yeah they were without apologizing. So we didn't argue and just left, we didn't want a loogey in our burgers after all. I would have understood if it was 5, or even10 mins before closing but 30!? Unacceptable, they aso turned down a family after us. Their ketchup pump is always empty, they love to just give out the packets so when we run out, we are forced to go and line up instead of just going to the station and pumping ourselves. How lazy are they to wipe or even replace the ketchup dispenser?!?! My dad enjoys tagging along when we go A&W at times and he loves to order their rootbeer float. We were sadly disappointed that we were given take out cups for our regular drinks and rootbeer float when we decided to DINE-IN. ALL other locations I've been to, they always give you the glass when you dine in! So why not here? because the employees are too lazy to wash the old fashion glass! Its like buying a jewelry atTiffany's and skipping out on their famous blue box! (sorry couldn't think of a better comparison) They also only use one garbage bin instead of two or more. I mean what's another garbage bag? It was so full one time, that the hinge wouldn't close and you can smell the garbage while you ate. The employees also can't handle sudden crowd surge. Its always so slow. They seem to take care of drive through orders first. I watched my food sit under a heat lamp for 15 minutes because the employees don't know how to multi task. Its sad to say that this has been happening for a while now. Every time I go there it just gets worse and worse that I finally decided to take pictures and write this complaint. This location has nothing readily available like other locations. No mugs, no ketchup dispensers, no washroom facilities, and closes earlier than normal operating hours!! Saw them in action when we were eating and they were closing in about 15 mins. They started mopping the floor right beside us and were told that they were closing. We ended up packing our half eaten food and eating it in the parking lot. 2 mins later, we saw them locking up. I used to work in the industry and we usually have to stay 30-1hr after service to clean up, but I guess they don't really have anything to clean. They just pick up and go. I'd like to meet the manager of this establishment and ask why he's letting this happen. Does he know or is he just turning a blind eye? Its a shame this place is really close to my place. Lately, we've been making the extra 10 min drive to their Heartland location and have not had any problems. This location needs to clean up their act.

    $ 3.99 not a bad price

    This is the second time I come here for a bad breakfast Cold eggs and a dirty coffee mug. Nasty , the service is always bad,in this location . Under staffed and management seems to be wiping the staff. If you use a coupon for a meal and ask for a water as part of your meal they say they ran out of water. But if you sit there you will see water being sold.

    More of a 3.5. Its a favourite joint for my family. We love the ambience and the way they bring to you the sweet porato fries / onion rings in a cute miniature silver frier .They serve hormone free chicken and beef which explains why they are a tad pricy over other similar joints. I also love their buddy burgers . The root beer is special and I personally like it.

    The buns are always fresh, however you will never get a full box of fries in a poutine. Half usually!

    Had the 6oz cheeseburger combo as take out. Fries tasted great! Fresh and perfectly cooked. Just…read morethe right amount of crisp. Burger was pretty good - you can tell it's freshly made to order. To watch the lady make the burger through the window to the grille - wow! I have rarely seen someone take such care in making the burger. Prepared and packed perfectly - everything spot on centre of bun. Just enough sauce. Just enough seasoning. Glad I tried this one.

    This is an independent burger place on the SW corner of Royal York and Queensway…read more Food (3.5/5) - small selection of burgers and chicken options and combos. - Classic Burger - had the 6oz on a Brioche bun. Like the fact you have 3 options for buns - Brioche, Sesame and Poppyseed. Overall though I found the burger just average. Meat was ok but bit bland tasting imo even with the Acme sauce on it. - Grilled Chicken - added mushrooms to this sandwich. Chicken was a good portion size but just average again imo. Chicken Acme sauce has some kick to it vs the burger version. Service (3.75/5) - Server at front was friendly, however was a bit on slow side getting the orders. Atmosphere (3.75/5) - it has this classic burger joint feel to it with bright colours and clean overall. Parking can be tricky if it's busy with limited spots. Overall (3.75/5) - it's a perfectly fine burger joint however nothing really stood out for me food wise. They seem to be busy enough and have been on this corner for a few years now.

    Came here last year for a Yelp Elite event and so glad we could come back here again!…read more The restaurant is very nicely decorated and the staffs were super friendly! They even kept smiling at my daughter while we dined in. We ordered the following tacos: - Birria - Bang bang shrimp - Carne Asada - Pescado - Chorizo - Fries We were worried that our experience would not be as good as when we came for the Yelp Elite event and I was so glad to be wrong! The food was just as delicious as I remembered it to be. The portion was very generous. They really loaded up our tacos with a lot of meat. The flavour is great and the meat was very tender, I really love the complimentary salsa as well. Our fav is the Carne Asada, Bang Bang shrimp and Pescado. The fries appetizer costed just 2.5 dollars but was impressed by how much they actually gave us. Overall we were very happy with our experience and surely will be returning.

    Was introduced to this place by a Yelp Elite Event and enjoyed the tacos so much I came back…read more I got some of the bang bang shrimp tacos and the tacos themselves were fantastic. Fresh ingredients, great flavor, and the sauce goes so well with the shrimp. I unfortunately underestimated the wait time for this place. I ordered via UberEats on a weekday evening, after finishing work in the area and was floored by the 40min estimated wait time, for 2 whole tacos. I really should have cut my losses and cancelled my order I was only about 10 minutes away but very far from home so I went ahead to double check if the wait time was accurate. They did take the full 40 mins. There were 2 staff on site, but only one person that seemed to do the cooking. Great tacos, but 40 mins is crazy. It's pretty pricey (like restaurant pricing equivalent) so combined with the long wait and slightly out of the way location, Im not exactly dying to come back. If you do decide to go, definitely order in advance. There's lots of parking there and lots of seating. What's odd is when I went, there were only 3-4 tables out of 10+ in use and it wasn't that busy inside the store, so who knows if it's a one off thing or they are always understaffed?
