We popped in since we were staying at the Château Frontenac & it was fairly busy because of the upcoming St. Patrick's day parade. The staff were very accommodating as we had a sleeping baby in a stroller & made it very easy for us to sit & grab a quick lunch.

We menu is interesting enough. Very heavy, for the most part, but broad enough. My only disappointment was no children's menu. Even just a small portion of salad with a sliced chicken breast would have worked well. But we were able to manage.

Our food was fine. I had a chicken sandwich that was nicely prepared & had interesting flavors. My husband had a poutine bowl that he really enjoyed & I agree, the sauce was excellent. I wasn't overly impressed with my cocktail but that's fine. It was still barely noon :)

We'd stop in here again if we were in the area & needed something quick. Particularly because the staff were so great.

Love the food & service every time that I am in town. The mushroom poutine is to die for.

F.Y.I., if you want to try the hot sauce, the original is probably the one to go.

Ate here as a walk-in: had noted it was the closest restaurant to Chateau Frontenac where we were staying & the menu looked interesting.

Got seated without issue & ordered a burger, chicken burger & a poutine to share. We also ordered two boozy milkshakes (although we found out when the bill arrived that only one of the two contained alcohol - the Maple shake on the menu has a boozy cousin which is the one I ordered, but not the one I got).

The burger was good, but unfortunately the chicken was overcooked & chewy to the point I couldn't finish it. The poutine was very good - in a super savoury mushroom sauce & served with grated cheddar.

Service was OK but largely absent (I think tables in the window where the customer is facing outward can cause this unfortunately).

Okay so… starting off on a positive note: the burger was amazing. Very well done & delicious. However the poutine was EXTREMELY disappointing. The potato was cold & cube shaped. Like cold old fries. The sauce was thick & not warm to melt the cheese. & we asked for extra sauce cuz the poutine was DRY & they charged us extra For it. Unbelievable. We asked for extra cuz we were eating cold dry poutine…!!!!! Was not a good experience overall. Left disappointed.

Les burgers sont excellents & d'une grosseur normale. Les frites étaient bonnes & les sodas maisons sont bien (personnellement je mettrais plus de sucre). La poutine classique n'était pas une poutine : des patates grelots avec de la genre de sauce au vin & du fromage en grain. Étrange, pas tellement bon.
Puisqu'on a mangé à côté de la cuisine ouverte, l'ambiance était bruyante & on est ressorti en sentant la friture à plein nez.
Je recommande surtout pour les burgers, mais essayez de vous asseoir dans le palier du haut, plus loin de la cuisine.

Deuxièmement visite : Burgers toujours décadents! Limonade délicieuse. Les tables sur le bord des fenêtres, donnant directement sur la rue, offre la meilleure vue sur la rue, les passants & même un bout du Château.

Atmosphere is fun & worth it. I had the poutine with bacon & a maple sauce. It was very delicious! Others had the burgers, a little small but they seemed to enjoy them. The milkshakes were thick & very good.

It was good but the sauce was a little too thin, which made the potatoes soft not crispy & not enough cheese

Nice spot for good food near to the Chateau Frontenac. The fries are excellent, as are the hot sauces.

Les burgers étaient bons . Mes deux amies ont pris des poutines . Elles ont dit que ce n'était pas terrible . Sauce liquide & des patates à déjeuner pas très bonnes à la place des frites . Première & dernière visite !

Wir bestellten zwei Burger-Combos, die jeweils Pommes bzw Süßkartoffelpommes und Softgetränk beinhalteten. Fleisch, Bun und Pommes sehr lecker, hätte etwas mehr Sauce auf dem Burger sein dürfen. Hausgemachte Mangolimo war sehr gut. Sehr schön, dass es noch Lokale gibt, die Drinks selbst machen. Es war insgesamt etwas zugig und eng, ansonsten hat es uns gut gefallen. Glutenfreies Burgerbun gegen Aufpreis möglich. Nur Kartenzahlung, man wird vor der Bestellung darauf hingewiesen.
