Will The Works lure away those loyal to Square Boy across the street?
Get beef, try something crazy like peanut butter on your burger (you won't regret it) and dip everything in beechhouse sauce. And get a 500ml cherry chocolate milkshake.
As for the price - it's a little pricey yes, but I don't understand why people go out for dinner and moan about $12 for a burger and fries. At McDonald's you'll pay $7 for the same thing. I will happily fork out the extra five bucks and forgo the diarrhea.
I've only really tried one sauce (dijon-haze) it wasn't spectacular. I've had three burgers from there, however, all were awesome. And I tried the poutine mentioned above. I personally liked it. Mine wasn't 'drowning' in gravy, the pork wasn't dry, and the bbq sauce was not bitter IMO.
The burger was 1. expensive, and 2. DRYYYY
The service was good, though!
BP doesn't use the same grilling technique, which is why they have the juiciest, fattiest burgers around - and mighty damn tasty. The Works grills them, so the fat drips off .. a lot 'healthier', but dry as hell.
