Generously stacked signature burgers freshly cooked on the grill

  • Classic Beef Burger

    Go with the classic burger. It’s a juicy 125g beef patty, fresh lettuce, soft bun, and the sauce blends in nicely. Just a perfect burger.

  • Combination Burger

    Me and my best mate Dawson grabbed the Combination - a massive burger stacked with southern fried chicken, beef and bacon - and it was next level. Every bite was full of flavour and cooked perfectly.

  • Sweet Potato Chips

    these were so so perfect, so thick but still perfectly soft inside and crispy on the outside, fully cooked through and the salt on them DELICIOUS! i would come back again and again for these sweet potato chips.

  • Onion Rings

    The onion rings were honestly some of the best I’ve ever had - crispy, golden, and not greasy at all.

  • Poutine

    Great food - we had the Spicy, Classic, Poutine, Vanilla Thick Shake.

  • Vanilla Thick Shake

    Delicious shake. Beer cold. Only negative part of the experience was getting beaten by my 13 year old on Donkey Kong! (Great to have the old school upright coin op to play while you wait).
