To be honest the burgers didnt really taste too different even though they're "smash burgers" The burgers are pretty good but portion isn't that big for the price. Fries had good seasoning with them and were a treat. Overall, I did enjoy their burgers but wouldn't say they were anything special - price is OK. I'd come if I was in the area and really craving a burger but wouldn't go out of my way for it. 3.75/5

As soon as I was ready to order, I was pleasantly greeted by Mohammed who showed a high degree of professionalism & was so well spoken. I ordered the 4 piece chicken dinner which comes with one side & a biscuit. I asked him on a side recommendation & he recommended Cajun fries, onion rings or coleslaw. I really like that I could pick any side & there was no up charge for certain ones. I chose the coleslaw & added a order of the fries. I was told that it would take 15 minutes & as I waited, I watched him work like a pro. He would ask the kitchen how much longer for certain food/orders then would update the individual. My order was ready around the time he said it would be. When I got home, I was pleasantly surprised at the size of each thigh & drumstick (they only serve dark meat). The coleslaw is larger than a typical side at other fried chicken places & there is a good amount of fries. The chicken was tasty! Skin was crunchy and the meat juicy. I did get it spicy but it's still on the mild side for me. The fries was cooked to perfection... crispy and full of Cajun flavor. I really liked the biscuit too. Coleslaw was good but top sweet for my liking. This place has easily hit my list of top fried chicken places!!! Highly recommend.

We visit often, so it's been worth it for us. It was quiet when we arrived, but started to pick up by the time we left. I'm usually cautious with lamb skewers because I don't enjoy that gamey taste, but these completely changed my mind. Well-seasoned, nicely charred, and surprisingly clean-tasting. The beef skewers were just as solid, with a good amount of juicy meat on each stick and seasoning that enhanced rather than masked the flavor. The squid tentacles were tender with a satisfying bite. The sweet and sour chicken had that ideal contrast, crispy and glossy on the outside, juicy on the inside. The beef and chives pancake was flaky, crispy, and packed with filling. Even better with a drizzle of their homemade chili oil (iykyk). The hand-pulled noodles in chili oil were a standout as well. Light but still flavorful, with a chewy texture that made every bite addictive.

Angus beef brisket was perfect Texas bbq. Juicy, great flavour, perfect flop Short rib is the best beef rib in the city. Juicy, unctuous, meaty. Amazing. Honey garlic wings had excellent smoke. Fantastic. Mac and cheese was delicious and cheesy. Best I've had in toronto. Maple smoked beans were ok. I wouldn't order again though. Poutine has a great gravy that had a nice depth of flavour. One of my favourite poutines. Tri tip had chimichurri on it which was a nice touch. Tougher of meat is not my preference but still had great flavour and smoke. Beef ribs were decent. But short rib better. Of note is that all the beef items are seasoned differently so you can order it all and have different flavours. One thing to know is the place is a bit of a dive. It's not pretty, but boy is it delicious. It does come off a little less clean than it could be. Cashier guy was friendly, but a bit slow. Not a big deal though.
