Ice Cold burger buns and the very cold shift manager. A white lady called herself the manager while…read morethe other staff mentioned to me before her that the manager is not on the floor ( So not clear ). But over all she was very cold and mean by not accepting the mistake they made. It was obvious that it was the busiest hour for them but that coludn't be the reason to degrade the quality of food. The buns outside were cold cold with hot burger patties insde which gave a very mild effect of the burger. Overall, lesson learned that never go to Bumper2Burger if you see it crowded or expect degraded food quality with degraded customer service.

So, it should be a known fact that halal food in general is slightly more expensive than regular…read morefood. Higher production costs and strict certification. However, halal burgers are very reasonable in pricing and they're very juicy. They're a little less than those American gourmet burgers ($15-17). There is parking in the back as well as some on the left side. This is not a fancy looking place, it's more of a hole in the wall. Lower your expectations because you're here for the food, nothing else. The staff was nice and helpful. I ordered a mango lassi, gladiator burger, and cowboy (with an extra patty). The mango lassi was good. The burgers were huge so I got my money's worth. I ordered mine medium rare. -gladiator 5 - it had double patties, halal turkey bacon, eggs, coleslaw, etc. It was perfect and very palatable. I really liked that CEO sauce. -cowboy 3.5 - it has a lot of similar ingredients as the gladiator except it has onion rings, no eggs or coleslaw, and bbq sauce. For some reason, the patties taste different from the gladiator, it was kind of bland. Everything else tasted fine.

I ordered The Ellen, their plant-based burger, and it was fantastic. It's a Beyond Burger patty topped with vegan cheddar, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, and raw onion, all served on a soft pretzel bun. For a side, I had to try the poutine fries, and they were a total game-changer. They come out in a skillet and are absolutely loaded with gravy, cheese curds, bacon, and a dollop of sour cream. Super indulgent and the perfect comfort food. They charged extra for a dollop of mayonnaise! The service was very attentive. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area.

(full disclosure, we stopped in on a Monday night so that could be the cause for some of the experience....) We, a group of four, walked into a complete ghost town. There was barely a soul in the place. It didn't seem to affect anything with the food or service it just felt weird given the size of the bar and dining room area. Which, if you have a big group, this is a great spot to host a large gathering! Our waitress was very friendly and gave us ample attention, taking our orders quickly and delivering food that was hot and fresh. We had burgers (both were great but my Cartel was INCREDIBLE), a salad (tasty) and chicken fingers (yum!). Their burger menu has some fun options and covers a wide array of everything. The one thing that gave me pause, however, was that they only have pretzel buns (aside from gluten free). However, they were not dry at all and tasted delicious! The way a pretzel bun should! We left full and satisfied. I don't know how quickly we'll be back because there are so many other options for burgers out there but I'll certainly keep this spot in mind for the future!

It's in a newer strip mall. All the business for the most part seem to be middle eastern. And this place while looking very Americana was not. We found out it was not a traditional burger place when we asked for bacon and they offered beef bacon. The counter staff man and women were nice. The place was very clean. The burger itself, we tried the classic cheese burger and the fire burger? Both were kind of small meat patties but the sesame seed bun was nice. But would like to have had a larger patty. The chips on a skewer was really good. Could have been cooked a little longer though so maybe ask for that. Presentation alone was impressive. The dipping sauce was a good compliment to it as well. The one thing we didn't really like, besides no pork bacon, was that the meat he pulled for our burgers was down on the ground in a drawer. I'm sure it was safe but really would like meats to be up closer than where you walk and sweep the floor. Would recommend and will try again if out that way again.

The bar staff is always friendly, quick and attentive, and it's always very clean. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out what goes on with the food selection in this place I've been coming here for probably about 10 years and they have had probably as many themes. Between a palace of bacon and then not and then partially bacon and then bacon and vegan, and then just vegan and regular pub fare. It's close to the house so I will occasionally stop in for a beer and something after work. Usually, I will get a chicken Caesar wrap because that's pretty much impossible to screw up, but once in a while, I will have a taste for a burger and after all, this is a bar...and I've had bad bar burgers at bars all across the country, they usually are at least serviceable. Not here. Each time I order one I remember why I go back to the chicken Caesar wrap. Newest exhibit being their new Smash-burger. I selected the pretzel bun so I knew it was not going to be a typical smash burger but when the patties come out like gray school cafeteria burgers without a trace of smash or crisp to them, I'm not sure whoever created this menu has ever met the kitchen staff. Generally a Smash-burger should be a homogenous congealed mass held together by good will and melted cheese. I cut this thing in half and it fell over like a Jenga tower. The buns are consistently pretty stale. I can't imagine if burgers are this much of a gamble...how are entrees like pot roast? Who is even ordering enough of these things for it to be fresh when it seems like everyone's getting sliders and nachos.

It's my go‑to spot for a classic Fish Fry, and after years of coming here, it still never disappoints. We arrived a little after 5:30 p.m. on a Friday and, as expected, only waited about five minutes. The moment you step inside, you're met with a lively bar scene--TVs tuned to various games, tall tables lining both sides, and a steady buzz of conversation. People are eating, drinking, and genuinely enjoying themselves. What surprised me most was how many families were there, even with infants and toddlers in tow. And honestly, it was great to see. The kids were calm, the parents looked relaxed, and the whole place had this easygoing, everyone's‑welcome energy. We sat in the back, and the table was cleaned quickly. Our server Heather brought menus, though we already knew exactly what we wanted. The menu has a big selection, but for us it was three orders of the Fish Fry. You can substitute sides--sweet potato fries, tots, or onion rings--and the meal comes with hush puppies and coleslaw. Drinks and water arrived promptly, and the entrées followed soon after, piping hot. The fried fish was flaky and flavorful--nothing like the heavy, all‑batter, no‑fish situation you get at some places. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. We asked for refills and they arrived almost instantly. I'm already looking forward to coming back once the weather warms up so we can enjoy the patio. This place continues to be a reliable, welcoming spot with great food and an even better atmosphere.
