À ma première visite le propriétaire se pleint à moi que son entreprise n'est pas payante , bien que pas payante ce n'est pas plus payant pour les clients qui ouvre leur portefeuille avec de bonnes intentions et qui finissent par jeter de la nourriture dégueulasse au poubelles , enplus de m'arrondir à 20,00$ une facture de 18,95$ , ce service à la clientèle possède tout les éléments nécessaire à l'échec d'une business

Notre dîner à fini à la poubelle !! Ce n'était pas bon, la bouffe est garoché dans le sac. On a trouvé un bout de gant en plastique dans le hot dog, assez dégueulasse !!! Et que dire du fonctionnement et l'attitude de l'homme qui fait la caisse et la cuisine, très bête.

J'ai souvent entendu dire que le propriétaire était malhaisant avec les femmes mais la ca dépasse les limites de loin. J'y suis allé avec ma fille de 15 ans car elle voulait un petit snack et nous étions devant. Le propriétaire avait les yeux absolument scotchés sur la poitrine de ma fille tout au long de la transaction. C'est innacceptable et j'ai porté plainte. SVP n'encouragez pas ce commerce.

Je suis très déçu par ce restaurant. Le cuisinier est également le caissier, ce qui pose de sérieux problèmes d'hygiène. Il passe de la cuisine à la caisse sans se laver les mains, ce qui est inacceptable. Il était impoli et m'a parlé méchamment sans raison, simplement parce que je n'avais pas mis les déchets dans la "bonne" poubelle selon lui. Hygiène Le cuisinier portait des pantalons courts et des souliers de plage, ce qui n'est pas approprié pour un établissement de restauration. Il manipulait l'argent et touchait la caisse, puis préparait les commandes sans se laver les mains. Qualité de la Nourriture La qualité des frites était médiocre. J'ai visité ce restaurant deux fois. La première fois, je n'avais pas prêté attention à son comportement, mais la deuxième fois sera la dernière. Conclusion À éviter absolument. Ce restaurant ne respecte pas les normes d'hygiène et le service est désagréable.

The cooks nose was running and he was wiping it on his hand. He didnt have a net. He ate with his hands while he made our order. The man says it closes at 7:00. While on Google map it says 8:00 a.m.

Semi-cooked fries... Slow service.. Interac for the 2nd star but not Credit even if it is listed on Google...

Very disappointing. The cheese in our poutine was out of date and tasted like old foot cheese. We will never go back again.

A snack bar there for years, but does not serve steamed hot dogs....euhhh Hello its the base and it has definitely too much sauce the bread is soaked. In short, if you come from the area, make your hot dogs at home, grilled, it will be better and cheaper!

Potatoes were a bit cardboardy, the spaghetti sauce on the Italian poutine was lousy, and in addition to the dining room you could see the cook licking his fingers while preparing the food... without washing his hands.

Absolutely nothing royal in our case. We stopped there for a quick dinner on July 30, 2016. Cold service and not very welcoming. The guy charged me too much and changed the total when he realized his mistake when giving us our order. The hot dogs and hamburger were absolutely very ordinary to be polite. The portion of fries was tiny. Everything was too expensive for the inferior quality offered by this restaurant which is nothing royal. A place that left us with a bitter taste. Hot dogs $1.85, hamburger $3.00 and fries $2.75. See our photos all the same if you feel like it. We do not intend to return while not recommending this place.
