  • "Atmosphere sucked when I came at around 1pm, they didn’t even have music playing it was way too silent for comfort."

  • "Pretty pricey."
  • "It is too expensive for what you get..."
  • "The complete menu (food & drinks) are overpriced!"
  • "The only reason I don't give 5/5 is because of how pricey the actual beer can get."
  • "Totally overpriced, the waitress gave me an old menu where the drinks were cheaper, when I called her out on it she charged me the full price anyway."
  • "Make sure you ask how much each part of the meal is! I got the sausage thinking the bun was included… it was an extra $4… nobody said anything."

Menu Variety

Pros:

  • "They’re happy to substitute the wursts for vegan / different meats based on dietary restrictions."

  • "They had a very extensive amount of options for their sausages and hot dogs."
  • "Their beer list is ever evolving."
  • "Poutine choices are extraordinary!"

Cons:

  • "Many of the drafts are smaller pours as well."
  • "The food menu and presentation needs work."
  • "They removed a lot of the exotic menu like the duck, lamb, and venison items and now only have much more mainstream sausage like kielbase, and chorizo way too many beef franks on the menu for me."
  • "Does not travel well is an understatement."
  • "EDIT: They don't give as much as they do anymore like shown in the older picture. Used to not be able to finish my serving but now I'm not satisfied when I finish the bowl 🙃"
  • "ALSO, I overheard the bartender saying that the fries are fried in pig fat...no one has ever brought this to my attention. I'm always ordering vegetarian so please mention if things are cooked in pig fat!"
  • "The salads are… ehh so so (overpriced small and underwhelming)."
