Review:
The fries tasted like pretty high quality, standard-cut, frozen fries. There was a reasonable amount of cheese curds. The gravy was a pretty standard brown gravy.

Skinny George’s Smash Burgers – Burger
Review:
The burger came with 2 smash patties. They were a little crispy, but still relatively soft. They were heavily seasoned with something like Montreal steak seasoning, which was actually my least favourite aspect of the burger. It was just a little too much for me, especially because of the high flavour/fat content of the brisket patties. The patties were topped with cheddar cheese. I really enjoyed the sauce, which was similar to a Big Mac sauce. The only vegetables included were pickles (tons of them). I do regret not asking to add lettuce to the burger. I felt like it could use something fresh. Everything was served on a very soft bun.

Review:
This came with frozen shoestring fries. There was a decent amount of cheese curds. The gravy was the highlight. It looked like a standard brown gravy, but it had a “real” beef flavour.

Big Rig – Burger
Review:
The burger came with a pretty large patty, probably in the 7oz range, which had good grill flavour. It was topped with a slice of Monterey jack cheese. The bacon was nicely cooked and there was a good amount of it. The caramelized onions provided a nice amount of sweetness. The spicy mayo was actually quite mild. The bun was very large and lightly toasted.

The King Eddy – Poutine
Review:
The fries seemed to either be dredged or to have been previously frozen, which left them a little pasty. The gravy had a good, beefy flavour. There was a nice amount of cheese curds.

The King Eddy – Burger
Review:
This burger came with two smaller patties cooked on the flat top. They were topped with cheese. The veggies were all solid (iceberg lettuce bonus). Their burger sauce was good. I liked the sesame bun, but it would have benefitted greatly from toasting.

Canadian Fryer – Poutine
Review:
The poutine came with typically good fresh-cut fries. The gravy was lighter than I’d hoped. There was an abundance of cheese. This was quite good, but with a richer gravy, it would be top-tier.

Review:
The patty was albout 1/4 lb cooked well done on the grill. It was topped with some processed cheddar. The bacon was perfectly cooked. I liked the vegetables. The bun was a pretty standard sesame bun that was lightly toasted.

Local Public Eatery – Burger
Review:
The burger came with two thin patties that were quite crispy. They were topped with a generous amount of processed cheese. The veggies were good, though there was excessive lettuce. The pickles were the standout item on the burger providing a pop of brightness. The burger sauce was decent, though there was a hint of spice that kinda didn’t fit the burger. The bun looked good but had a bit of the texture of a fast food bun (hard to describe, but it’s like a tighter grain than homestyle buns).
