My Quest to Find the Best Burgers, Pizzas, and Poutines in the Ottawa-Gatineau Region
Review: The fries were smaller than a standard cut but not quite julienne. They could have used more time in the fryer as I did get a few that were a little raw. There were a lot of cheese curds. The gravy had some BBQ elements, which I tend to like, but this one was …

Review: The patty had a decent outer crust while still being quite soft and easy to chew. It was topped with a lot of cheese. Vegetables were very fresh. The bakery-style bun was perfectly toasted which really elevated the burger. Rating: 8.2/10

Review: The crust was thin and quite crispy with some nice char marks. There were some thicker spots on the outer crust where the density made it a little hard to chew. The sauce was nice and fresh. I could have used a little bit more. There was a good amount of cheese and it …
Review: The burger came with a fairly large patty. It had a strong beef flavour. It was covered by a this amount of cheddar cheese. The burger also came with candied bacon, which was pretty unique, though I’m not sure regular bacon would not have been better. The burger also came with a house ketchup, …
Review: This featured skin-on fries. There was a good amount of cheese curds. The gravy was the most interesting element. It tasted like a combination of beef and chicken gravy with a pepper note. Rating: 7.4/10
