Review: The burger was small and pretty typical of local fast food joints. The patty was dense, slightly overcooked and topped with processed cheddar. The bun was plain, but suited the burger and was nicely toasted. Iceberg lettuce and free grilled onions earned it bonus points. Rating: 6.2/10

Merivale Bowling Centre – Pizza
Review: I didn’t plan this review at all, but why not? The pizza arrived looking thick and heavy, but it was deceptively light. No ingredients stood out as particularly great, but nothing was bad either. It tasted like best frozen pizza ever, to be honest, and I didn’t mind at all. This was surprisingly easy …
Maison du Burger – Burger
Review: The 4oz patty was heavily seasoned and had meatloaf-like texture that suggested it featured some binder. I was not a big fan of the seasoning, which tasted more like an Italian meatball than a burger. All other ingredients (bun, thin bacon and processed cheddar) were acceptable, but far from premium. The lettuce was iceberg, …
Maison du Burger – Poutine
Review: This was a very competent poutine. The fries were real. The gravy was a little thin, but it was appropriately salty. There was a fair amount of cheese curds. All items were there in the correct proportions. Rating: 6.7/10
Fiazza Fresh Fired – Pizza
Review: I’d eaten from here before and I always thought it was decent, but this was the best pizza I ever had from this place. The crust was light, crispy and just a little charred. The sauce was pleasantly herbaceous. There was plenty of cheese and the sausage was of really high quality, though I …
Chelsea Pub – Burger
Review: I have to first apologize for the picture. I was at a work function and I was rushing. It was actually a picturesque burger. The patty was ½ lb. It was slightly overcooked. The cheese was of good quality and there was a good amount of bacon. Vegetables were fresh and I really liked …
Chelsea Pub – Poutine
Review: The fries were a pretty standard cut, real, and crispy. There was a fair amount of cheese curds. The gravy was a little too thin and ended up at the bottom of the poutine. It had a good base flavour, but needed quite a bit of salt. Rating: 6.5/10
Capitol Burger – Burger
Review: The burger came with two thin patties cooked on the flat top. The meat was very soft and cooked perfectly. There was a generous amount of cheese. I normally like a toasted bun, but this one was very fresh, and held up well without needing to be toasted. It had a little too much …
Capitol Burger – Poutine
Review: The website and others suggested that this place featured fresh-cut fries that are apparently pretty good, but the 3 times I went, I ended up getting frozen crinkle-cut fries, so that’s all I can rate. The fries were ok, but were actually hurt textually by the gravy. The gravy was thin and a little …
Burgers n’ Fries Forever – Burger
Review: The 1/4lb patty was more smashed than typical BFF burgers, which made it crispier. If they could increase their patty size by an ounce or two, this burger would improve its ranking a lot. The cheese seemed to be of high quality. They offered thinly-cut tomatoes, which is always appreciated. Their BFF Sauce was …
