Donair poutine
Margarita S.

Came here with my husband for some poutine for lunch (he is OBSESSED). They are a counter that you order from, and popular among the drunk crowd at 2am LOL. They have many protein topping options that they can add to the poutine, he got the donair topping and loved it. They are generous with the gravy and you can get more cheese curds for extra $.

I'm a pretty big proponent of Willy's, especially if it's past 1am and I have slightly glazed over eyes and a fiendish look on my face. This burger joint is beyond busy during the wee hours of the morning, with people congregating after their respective nights of partying in downtown Halifax. My order of choice is a veggie burger, fully loaded with cheese and a side of home cut fries. This runs about $10-$12 and is definitely worth it. I've seen other people ordering poutine as well as Philly cheese-steak sammies, so there are a number of options for the ravenous hordes. Once, Andrew and I waited for about 40 minutes for our meals, between the line up and the grill time. When we received our burgs there had been a slight mix up so the dude behind the counter gave us back $5 and his apologies. Another time, I found 10 bones on the ground, which paid for my meal! I have good financial luck when it comes to this place. Hmmm, maybe I should get them to help me with my budgeting...? I offer you my sincere "DO ITs" and "You won't regret" its when it comes to noshing at this place. You'll satisfy your late night cravings and perhaps quell your hangover by offering your body some serious absorbing power. Willy's - you should go.

South End

I was very excited to eat here! yesterday i tried ordering online at like 9pm and i couldnt because…read moreit was an hour before closing and i was like okay no biggie. Then today i try ordering again and i order the burger i want and make my modifications online and also order a strawberry milk shake which is 7.99 btw. I their online order pick up progress thing is also miss leading, it doesnt actually show when its being prepared it just jumps from being order taken straight to pick up- even though it tells you, you have to wait for like 45 minutes, surprise its ready in ten which would have been great had it actually told me my burger was being prepared. I get there pick up my burger and my shake go home and the shake is not what i expected. is a "small" size for an artificially blended strawberry ice cream with literally no strawberries in it. like how you gonna charge 7.99 for and it be so fckn mediocre. Then there was the burger that had everything i asked for it not to have on it and didnt have the things i wanted on it. and when i called them they said they could only change the buns but not the burger, i cant eat bacon and there was bacon on the burger. and there reasoning was because they didnt want to use another patty... im sorry but i shouldnt have to fucking pay 20 dollars for the fucking burger and then when you get my order wrong you say were not gonna use another 6 dollar patty that we charge 4x the amount of to make you another one. oh i gave the burger to some rando on the street cause food shouldnt go to waste.

My wife and I ate there yesterday, this was only the second time, the first was when they first…read moreopened. I don't remember the first time as being anything to remember. This trip was different because the food was incredible. That was the best cheeseburger I've had in the HRM. Even the bun was perfect to hold it all together. The first place I've found that knows how to cook home fries they're crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Both of our meals,my wife got a poutine and I got the cheeseburger with fries and we split a pop came to less than $21.00 that's right two can dine on fresh food for less than a million. The woman that was serving us was very polite and really wanted to know if we liked our food. She made it a great experience. The restaurant looks like every other fast food place on the inside, but it was clean. A secret that can't be beat, a homemade large burger for that price I'll be back, my new favourite burger joint.

Tried Charger through Uber eats tonight- very happy as they had a few specials on- buy 1 item get 1…read morefree- so I ordered that for my son who loves chicken fingers n fries and I ordered the 2 for 1 cheese and a burger/ poutine combo- The burger was super fresh and good/ my son said he loved the fries- yeah home made baby!- and the poutine was good- I only wish they included a sauce for the cake but that's ok! I ordered 1 pop but they gave 2- maybe to make up if no bottle? anyway was nice to do that! Definitely will get again from here -

Iron Rooster - Beijing wrap

Downtown Halifax

A good downtown food scene has lots of different options - different ethnicities, styles and price…read morepoints - to cater to the equally varied tastes and needs of people. I was wanting a quick bite before meeting coworkers for a drink, and Iron Rooster fit the bill. The store was quiet for a Friday evening, and the lone staff member doubled as both server and cook. The menu is somewhat lean (figuratively speaking, as it's more vegetable-adverse than KFC!), with familiar fried chicken items like wings, drumsticks, house-made popcorn chicken, strips and a chicken burger. Sides are equally deep fried and brown. I wish the menu would lean more into more obviously Asian versions of fried chicken, but a couple such options do show up, with the Beijing chicken wrap and a curry chicken bowl (effectively karaage don). I ended up going with Combo Meal A, which gives you the option of a chicken burger or the Beijing wrap, and fries or a couple chicken wings. Unsurprisingly, I went for the wrap and did not double down on chicken, opting for the fries instead. I was eating-in, so my food came as it was ready. The fries came in the now very common, mini-deep-fryer basket, with a decent amount of golden brown fries filling it. They were crispy-coated, so a bit of a cop-out in this golden age of hand-cut fries, but hey, they were still wonderfully crisp, hot and fluffy! Oh, and I got a garlic seasoning on them as well, so they had some more oomph. The wrap soon followed, rolled up in paper that has some very cute branding! It wasn't huge, with a couple chicken strips, pickled cucumber, green onion, and a sweet and salty, teriyaki-esque sauce. The flavours all kind of worked though, and the pliable wrap (not sure what its origins were, as it seemed too stretchy to be a standard wheat tortilla) held up well. The chicken's crispness suffered from the sauce and self-steaming, but these things happen. My second visit had me stopping in before a trivia night with friends, and this time I went for the half-sized portion of Cornish hen, once again getting fries for my side. There were a few takeout orders ahead of me in the queue, but it wasn't too long of a wait. My basket of fries came out first, and the crispy coating and garlic seasoning were just as good as last time. It was a bit longer for my chicken, but it was worth it. The batter was good and crispy, the meat tender and juicy, and it was an ongoing battle between my hunger and self-preservation instinct from the hot-out-of-the-fryer chicken. Interestingly, the chicken is cooked as one solid piece, as being broken down into its constituent parts would have made for a better coating-to-meat ratio, and it would cook quicker too. My chosen side sauce of honey garlic added further flavour and a contrasting hit of sweetness. Service on both visits was very friendly and helpful. Sometimes you just have to scratch that itch for fried chicken, and Iron Rooster has got your fix.

Themis restaurant had great fried chicken options. The dry seasoned and breaded spicy chicken wings…read morewere very tasty. They also make excellent popcorn chicken. The people at the restaurant were very helpful when explaining the menu and made good recommendations. I will be back if I am the area.
