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.

The onion rings were honestly some of the best I’ve ever had - crispy, golden, and not greasy at all.
James Russell Poutine
Great food - we had the Spicy, Classic, Poutine, 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).

Practical dining advice for ordering, seating, and entertainment
Customise Your Salad Ratio
The kitchen stacks burgers with heavy portions of mixed lettuce and fresh salad; ask the grill team to go light if you prefer a meat-and-cheese focused ratio.
Carry Coins for Vintage Arcades
Bring physical coins if you or your companions want to play the upright retro arcade games like Donkey Kong while waiting for meals.
Plan Around Limited Stool Seating
Indoor seating is limited to bar stools and just a couple of tables, so plan around peak hours or opt for takeaway if you need back support or dining space for a group.
