We went with another family and basically ordered everything on the menu- burgers were excellent and kids thought having a branded bun was super cool. Poutine with or without pulled pork was excellent BUT portions are enormous, it would be very easy to share with 1 or 2 people. Great little spot and we all loved sitting by the lake eating dinner. Employees were great, food was exactly what we wanted, and it was reasonably priced.

It's going to be a tight fit with just three tables of four. Hang on tight, it's a culinary delight of Canadian and American flavors! Start with the dry ribs. Amazing!!!!! Try some Jerk chicken poutine. Fantastic!!!! Another beer/wine/sparkling to cleanse the pallet. Your going to need it. Cesar salad to cool your tongue down, cold romain with house made dressing with just the right amount of anchovie for some light kick. Finished with fish and chips, light battered fillet atop a mound of fresh cut fries. Mac and cheese three with truffle oil and shallots. Flavor abounds! Fete du complete with their double chocolate brownie to end this flavor extravaganza. Wow.... How one Chef in a tiny cottage kitchen can produce this quality of food......I don't know how, but keep it coming. Outstandingl restaurant and staff.

When walking in - the small interior will throw you off but if the weathers right - the patio is awesome. Can't recommend this place enough if you're looking for affordable and something the kids will love. Service and food were top notch.

Even at 8pm there was a line at least 80 people long. However, I really give them credit for the efficient line service. While you're waiting, they will take your order and payment. By the time you get to the front of the line, your food is ready for pick up. We spent a total of 20 minutes from parking the car to eating our food. The food itself is pretty meh. Yes, I can taste some charcoal grill smokiness but the flavour is quite bland. I also wish the cheese was melted, and the bun was toasted or warm. The poutine had lots of cheese curds, but they were a tad too salty and the gravy was very watery. The fries themselves seem good when eaten with ketchup. I think this is a cool spot to try but the food was really meh.
