He also made the most amazing iced tea drink I've ever had, I'll have to return to get another one sometime soon!! The restaurant was lit with low, warm lighting (which I always appreciate) and not too densely packed. It wasn't busy when we visited despite being a Friday evening, so it wasn't too loud at all. Great decor, with wacky paintings that Jamil was able to tell us about. Amazing service and yummy food, though absolutely a bit pricey. Also, the bathroom is located downstairs and there are a couple other steps within the restaurant so I'm not sure that it would be fully accessible, though perhaps sitting on the patio would be possible for anyone with mobility issues. Overall, would recommend for anyone looking for a fun meal and slightly eccentric vibes.

(Expect 45-1h wait time.) not bad as there are a lot of cute shops around. Both me and my partner got the Belmont breakfast. Has a bit of everything ($23) I gave my partner the bread and got his salad. He said the bread was really good. I really enjoyed my salad nice and fresh not sure what kind of leaves was used. First time I see that shape. Back to salad it was light and a little bit sweet. Potatoes are the next best thing on my plate. I like them he spice that was used, I added a but more salt on mine. The breakfast sausage did not give me heartburn... not guaranteeing anything but worth mentioning. I believe they were lighter in oil simply. My partner always trades them for bacon. I only got a half sausage, he had the rest. The last thing I want to mention is less positive. I usally like breakfast beans. Got excited when I saw the black beans. However, really disappointed nothing more than warmed out black beans. Not what I would expect from breakfast beans. I expect a maple or sugar flavour. You can pay $5 to add to your breakfast... mine came with them but I would skip. Unless unflavoured black bean is your thing.

The food is a bit hit or miss, but overall pretty good The burger was a bit on the dry side, but it was paired with really flavorful homemade ketchup and garlic aioli.

I've heard about many good things about this place - quality of fries, taste/texture of gravy, and quality of cheese curds.

Very good - Freshly taste fries, lots of curds, and rich gravy. I would probably try pick up or eat in next time, to enjoy freshly made texture (crispy fries and curds' squeakiness.

The Short Version: Small burger joint. No fryer so no fries…read more I enjoyed the smashed burger. Minimal seating. The Long Version: I was sad to see Pomelo Hat at this location close down, but when I saw Taste Junction open up, I had to try it because you know, I like trying new restaurants, lol. Taste Junction serves up burgers, sandwiches and hotdogs. They don't have a fryer so no fries, chicken tenders, etc. My husband and I got a smash burger $10.99 and a BBQ pulled chicken burger $10.99 to share. But I wasn't crazy about the chicken burger and my husband liked both burgers so I ended up eating most of the smash burger whereas he ate most of the BBQ pulled chicken burger. The smash burger came with cheese, caramelized onions, lettuce and tomatoes. I got ketchup and mustard on it. It was nicely smashed, with slightly crispy edges. The flavour was good. It wasn't too salty. I liked that it was a plain bun without seeds. I would get this burger again. The BBQ pulled chicken burger I found too messy to eat because it feel apart easily. It had caramelized onions and lettuce. I added BBQ sauce. The flavour was ok. My husband liked it a lot though. Service was courteous. It was a one man show so there was a bit of a wait for the food but that's understandable. There's not a lot of seating to eat in. Just 4 seats facing the window bar seating style. I guess it's mostly a takeout joint. Street parking only. Review #201 (2025)
