Very bad experience at this location. Went there this morning . Ordered breakfast. Several people got their order before ours . One of the sandwiches were made and stood in bag and waiting a long time for the second . When questioning when the order would be complete . Was told rudely it's coming . Again while waiting still no sandwich was done and other orders were completed . Went up to talk to manager to say don't worry about the food , can you just refund . Was told no ....wowsers. Finally received food and the quality was terrible ( to be honest something tasted off with one of them) . I am also sending a message to corporate ( I actually work in a corporate environment)about this experience because this location needs to be visited by them and their policies reviewed .

I was surprised biting into my husband's spicy crispy burger. It was much better than I was expecting and made me want to get one, but I didn't lol. We ended up walking by when it was 50% off all burgers!!! (On a Sunday) so that was fun. 2 burgers for the price of 1 basically! My husband is a big fan😌

Good serving. Tried the Ruffles Crunch Teen burger with extra patty. I think this is All Dressed. Fantastic idea to use the tanginess of the chips to enhance the burger's flavour. Person behind the til was kind and patiently answered my questions about burger differences. Also gave me a booklet. Very good observation skills to ensure repeat customers. I didnt catch his name, but the receipt says Amanjot K, wearing a grey shirt. Kudos to him, and I hope he gets the support he needs to grow well in the company.

I had the All Canadian Breakfast this morning and it was so good. It included 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausages, 2 slices of tomato, one large hashbrown patty and 2 slices of buttered toast. They offered packets of jam, jelly, marmalade or peanut butter for the toast. I also ordered coffee with my breakfast. Everything was cooked perfectly and the coffee was hot and delicious. The staff were all very friendly and smiled at me several times while I waited. My food and coffee were served to me on a stoneware plate and mug. The restaurant was very clean and tidy but I opted to take my meal outside and eat at the patio table in the sunshine. With a coupon, I received in the mail, my entire order came to $9.00 which is great value. This meal was one of the best restaurant breakfasts I've ever had and I'll definitely be going back again. Shaughnessy Street is very busy so it's a bonus that this location has ample parking behind the restaurant. Friendly Service, Hearty Breakfast, Great Value!

Mama burger: plentiful of juices; decent taste. The employee that served me was informative when he told me that the spicy version is cheaper than the non-spicy. They have a wheelchair assessable entrance and their washrooms require a password to go in.

My experience at this location was nothing spectacular. Its so heart wrenching when walking thru the doors to ANY business in your hometown and the seating areas are gone, there are no customers to observe as they enjoy a nice cold sip of their A&W Root beer in that classic & signature frosted ice cold mug in between bites of their scrumptious Momma Burger.....However the Manager was fantastically pleasant. Took my order and served me with a great smile.... The one complaint I do have is the fact that they have no ice because why do you need ice when they serve your A&W root beer or soda of your choice they serve it in those iconic chilled mugs. when you're having to take your meal to go your soda is served in one of those awful to-go cups there for your soda is not icy cold.....and on a hot day you want an ice for an ice cold drink

The guy went from touching the $20 bill I handed him to making my burger with no gloves or hand washing in between. I questioned him and he said he washed his hands before, I asked for my money back and went to subway instead. Now as of this morning there is paper all over the windows and they appear closed. Wonder if they had too many health violations like this.

I forgot how bad the service is in that location, i had 15 min to spare before my bus showed up, i waited 12 min for a burguer, that was never made, 3 girls working,no customers and i had to leave with no food, such a shame no wonder is always empty. Today is March 9, and i come to the restaurant(i was craving the spicy chicken burger) and after this visit, i had to changed my review. Today experience was very pleasant, i was greet right away, the food was fast and very good, i ordered by mistake root beer which i dont like, i asked if i can purchase a diet coke and they give me one for free, the girl working at the counter was really friendly, very good. So, from one star i upgrade it to 4. My only complain was the fries,the oil must be old cause they tasted bitter.

Employee went straight from sweeping the the floor to making my burger by hand, talked to the manager and they denied it happening and offered nothing in return. Asked for a complaint number or email to contact because i was not happy with my experience(or the managers response) and the manager said he would not provide that to me. Reporting for substandard food safety and cleanliness.

Oct 18 2023. - mmmm could not resist a spicy chicken in a lettuce wrap with a coke and a side of chubby chicken today . Its the only fast food actually worth paying for. I miss the days when the staff would notice the kids and automatically just give us root beer suckers or Madegood bars for free. Now that was excellent customer service. Ill admit, I sure did come more when that happened. Having to ask for it and even ask the price to prompt staff doesnt feel so good. A customer sure feels valued when staff are thoughtful and generous! Still 5 stars. Just noticing that things are changing at all locations.

Good food and service. The place was shockingly dirty though. I m not a clean freak, but the entire floor looked like it hadn t been cleaned in a week. Caked with week old dried lettuce, food debris and the restaurant floor hasn t been mopped in so long the entire floor looks like it does when the roads have been salted and everyone s dirty feet drag in de-icer but it s been sunny all week and no snow for months. The table tops were smudged multiple colours of muck, even the seats were dirty. Both bathrooms have two soap dispensers and all 4 dispensers were empty (sign of how little they are tended to). The bathroom smelt so strongly of stale urine I opted to hold it. Clearly they are lacking a proper cleaning schedule and cheating out on staffing. I changed my order to takeout and ate in my car. Food tasted fresh and service was friendly, clearly newly renovated but yikes, the dirtiest fast food restaurant I ve ever been in. Need to deep clean it desperately and then need to stay on top of regular cleaning throughout the day!

This location was charging people 25 cents per bag and saying that they were allowed to do this and it was a bylaw, which is not the case and has never been the case. After enough people complain and the bylaw office made it out they stopped, but I certainly don t feel comfortable coming here after that theft. (Not to mention how unsanitary this restaurant often is I can go elsewhere thanks)

They have been gouging EVERY customer $0.25 for a bag fee which they have said is a city bylaw, and has been confirmed by the Mayor does not exist. They should be shut down for ripping off their customers.

We went for the whistle dog and what a disappointment. The Shaughnessy st restaurant was dirty so we ended up bringing both orders home. One whistle dog was cut part way the other whistle dog was not cut at all, certainly not butterflied as the original was intended. If you want a hot dog I d suggest stick with Costco at least they re only $1.50 not $7.50. I d tell the restaurant owners themselves but they won t answer the phone.
