this isnt mcdonalds. all good burgers come with a price. Allens has the best burger ive ever had and is always cooked exactly how you ask for it. everything is always fresh and if you do want fries they also have amazing yukon gold chunky fries. allens does not deserve to be taken off the list what so ever, i think it deserves to be higher up.
On the plus side, he won't be back so we won't have to read anymore of his foolhardy claptrap.
Terrible.
I really want to try this place though!
1. If you are going to ask customers how they want their burger cooked, you better cook it right. Mine was not even close.
2. Dijon mustard on a hamburger? Offensive.
3. Tomatoes with a nasty green core in the middle are not good.
4. The onion that came with my burger was just a regular yellow onion and it was easily an inch thick. Gross.
5. A wilted piece of romaine lettuce with a huge spine is not what anyone wants on their burger. Not even a rabbit.
6. I ordered cheddar, they did not tell me it was white.
This place is typical of Canadian restaurants who claim to have a good burger, they just try too hard to be fancy and end up with a pile of puke.
Yeah, a wee bit pricey for pub menu, but when you see/taste the food you'll have no complaints. My only gripe was the service...slow, less than friendly - she must have been having a bad day.
It depends on what your criteria is in choosing a burger. I like a flavorful patty that is, above all, juicy. Also, the bread to meat ratio has to be right.
I have had Lick's and found them to be a little too dry. Nothing that special. This evening I had Craft Burger and found it to be nothing that special either.
At this point, I like Apache the best. I find it to be flavorful and very juicy. I don't care if the patty is frozen because the final product is good.
I'm looking forward to trying Johnny Burger because I have read it to be the best on several web sites. We'll see.
I think the "best burger" is something we can only determine for ourselves by our own standards.
is that 10.00 before tax or after.
I sell bacon burgers that include fries and
a drink for 9.50 + tx. and i get some complaints
guess it depends on how popular your establishment is
and who your guests are.
The worst part is that both my friend and I wrote the owner/manager of the restaurant (e-mail on their website) and never heard back.
That experience has put me off going back to try the food which I have heard is very good.
They have a fabulous 12 oz. burger.
(or divided into sliders 3 x 4 oz.)
Once the wings arrived and I took my first bite I realized why there isn't such a big variety. What the give you is perfection and there is no need to change a thing. I have been to many wing places and this is definitely a spot I will return to when I have a craving!
The burger is very good... But my experience was enhanced by the patio setting. Perfect place for a brunch/lunch date on a hot summer weekend...
Its pricey and service is a bit slow... but the world isnt perfect. Patients is a virtue.
It's a pub... P U B.... You just hear it... get a babysitter.
I don't want to have my evening ruin because a crying kid.
Some McDonalds have playgrounds so you can take your kid after 8 pm.
Cheers!
