Reviews
The place was empty and quiet. The person at the till took our order said it would be a few minutes and we can grab our can of pop from the fridge. The price was a bit of a shock but we were already in too deep at this point having driven so far.
We looked for a place to sit down, which was difficult. There were fries on the floor, tables were greasy and had crumbs and salt on them. Had to get a napkin to wipe down the least dirty table we sat at.
Waited close to 25 minutes, which is quite long for 2 burgers and fries. When we got them, the buns looked like something you’d get in those plastic see through bins at a grocery store deli that sell for 20 cents. I would consider myself a decent cook, not a professional; but the “smash burger” showed 0 evidence of maillard reaction which is the whole point of a smash burger. The fries that arrived in a bag just bled oil everywhere and were very soggy and overly salty.
Would strongly not recommend, perhaps it was a combination of several things, driving so far, the price, food being bad and the restaurant being dirty that cumulatively amount to the worst “dining” experience in my 5 years of living in Thunder Bay.
However, there were a few minor things to note. The service was a bit slow, which made sense because when the food was ready, it was exceptional. There were a lot of takeout deliveries, which probably contributed to the slow service.
I wish they had non-plastic flatware options for those who dine in to lessen environmental impact, but I get it if it’s typically a take out place. I appreciate that the other containers weren’t styrofoam.
Passing through Thunder Bay, I found the place through trip advisor. I got jalepeno cheddar burger. It was so good and only $10. On my way back through, I stopped again and got the swiss mushroom. Also excellent. Will have to stop here every time I come through Thunder bay now.
Nice location in Current River. It is nice and clean inside
The service was excellent with very friendly staff.
The atmosphere was perfect for a burger joint.
I will definitely be back.
