My 10 year old bestie and I were on an adventure and as I promised her mom I would get her to eat…read moresomething and I saw her eyes light up when she saw the Bug Wheel sign. Apparently her family had been talking about going there. There is a children's meal for $11 which is basically a half patty on a bun, with fries, juice and a cookie. Oh to have her (lack of) appetite. She ate half the fries (about 6) and maybe two bites of the burger and she was full. I got a cheeseburger. It was decent. The server was raving about their special sauce and it was tasty. I'm not a fast food person anymore (stopped well over 20 years ago) but the burger reminded me of the Big Mac in the early days. Better meat though and the bun was very fresh. Would I go back? Not compelled to but as I said I do t do these kind of restaurants very often and it was a fun one-off. There were maybe 3-4 tables and a few people coming in for take out so it's popular which I'm always happy to see in a new restaurant in the area. Must mention how fast the food came out (gold star) and the young man who took our order was super nice too!!

Amazing burgers. I had the cheeseburger and my partner had the onion ring burger. Both excellent…read more And $3.50 ice cold beer! Location is a little meh, but the food is so worth it!

We were looking for a light meal so after grabbing donuts, we walked over to Homestead Cookhouse…read more It's an odd mashup of Canadian and Asian food. They're located in the same plaza as Turtle Island Fish & Chips and Harbour Scoop Ice Cream. We dropped in on a Friday afternoon (around 3:15pm). The inside is tiny but there's a couple tables outside to sit at. From what I could gather, it appears to have changed ownership. Hence the addition/assortment of random Asian food. The menu is small with about 20 options; sandwiches, poutine, hot dogs, dumplings, ramen and beef/chicken teriyaki. - Philly cheesesteak and fries ($10.99) - this is not a real cheesesteak so keep that in mind. At least the beef wasn't overcooked and there were a couple pieces of mushroom and grilled onions. The fries were terrible; dry, tasteless and reminded me of McCain fries you buy from the grocery store. Nothing particularly exciting about HC but prices are cheap. 2.5 stars.

They happily accommodated our group of 12 with a reservation for lunch in a separated room and all the food came out at the same time which is often tricky with a larger group. As for the staff, our servers were terrific, efficient and friendly. Prior to the day Robert replied to emailed questions very quickly and made the whole event very stress free. I honestly can't recommend this restaurant enough.

Our family of four went to Howlers for Fish and Chips after a long day of fishing. We ordered…read morethree two piece fish and chips, clam chowder soup and the fried chicken and fries with poutine. The batter on the fish and chips had a nice soft crunch and the fish and the batter tasted fresh and delicious. The clam chowder was very good with nice clam flavor and lots of small pieces of clam and potatos. Both items had no fishy smell or taste. My son liked fried chicken poutine. I thought it was strange, but I'm not used to Poutine. Overall very good. We will be back!

I've never been to this location and thought it was particularly dirty or messy, and I don't know what to say about the "greasy floors" accusation other than that it's silly. Either way, better food and price than McDonald's, especially on Wednesdays when they have a promotional price on Whopper meals. The butter chicken poutine is a delight.
