The smash burger is awesome, will not disappoint. Im eating the single patty and I was impressed by the weight of the burger, thinking he must have thrown another patty on there. The owner was incredibly kind and even came out and offered a small side of fries free of charge just to try them out. First time visiting MADEATS, and I will definitely be coming back to support good business like this! Thank you so much!

Absolutely amazing food!! Max has always been someone who made great hot dogs, so seeing him achieve his food truck with great food and people to work with is amazing!!! The chicken burger was absolutely delicious, super filling, a real chicken breast breaded and deep fried to perfection with a sweet but spicy sauce, the fries were to die for!!! Surprisingly better then costcos ;)

Mad Eats catered an event for me, and absolutely THREW DOWN the best burgers any one of us have ever eaten. I cannot recommend this spot enough, it was so reasonable and excellent to work with for the event and unbelievably delicious burgers and dogs. Would 10/10 recommend!!

With all the people claiming they do smash burgers, here’s a rare smash burger done right. Can’t believe this is just sitting in Duncan. If you want a legitimate smash burger, come here! 100% worth the trip.

Mad eats is has the best burgers in town! The smash burgers are by far the best burgers you can get in the Cowichan Valley and the chilli fries and hot dogs are amazing too! Max is so friendly and always has a smile on his face when serving.

Let me start out by saying that I am a hamburger purist and smashburgers are my favorite type. Max here makes the best Smashburger I have had in Canada, that includes being better than mine. Max was super nice, very social and gives you value while he talks with you. Everything about this burger ticks all the boxes, toasted fresh bun, quality beef that is kissed with a great maillard reaction, seasoned properly, fresh toppings and even built in the proper order. I was making animal noises while enjoying this masterpiece. He makes batter fried fries that compliment the burger perfectly. I have to give a bonus star for having Mexican cane sugar Coca-Cola in the glass bottle too. I live about 45 minutes away from this place and I can see myself making the trip next time, I'm craving a quality Smashburger. Seriously, I was just at Hamburger America in NYC and George Motz wasn't able to deliver a burger to this standard of excellence. Props to ya Max, you got a skookum joint going there and I'll be more than happy to point peeps in your direction.

Best burger and fries in town burger is perfectly balanced and the fries are battered to perfection.

Stopped on the way to Tofino. I ordered the veggie burger and it was delicious. The rest of my group got the hotdogs and they said they were very good. The poutine was delicious and the large can easily be shared by four adults.

We ordered food there today, they totally forgot our order and served 5 people ahead of us. Also, saw the cook eating while making others food and pushing down garbage with bare hands (not washing hands afterwards or wearing gloves) and touching food after.

Never left a Google review before but this place really deserves some lines. Today we had the best hot dog (Smokie) and onion rings ever. The burger and poutine were superb as well. The food truck is run by a hard-working chef who s damn good at what he s doing and super friendly to his customers. We left full and happy. To anyone on Vancouver Island: This please isn t just worth a detour it s worth a journey. And we came all the way from Berlin. Hope to be back some day.
