text: If your choice of burger is sloppy then this is your spot nnThe trend of all these burger places continues unabated however Guys really does nothing extraordinary despite this reinvention of the wheelnnThe plus is the ample selection of condiments to add on the foundation that is your burger but the very same foundation is cracked and flawednnThe burger is small and flimsy quickly cooked up on a greasy hot plate Judging by the before and after what does look like a nice fresh patty quickly shrinks to a tiny puck that does little to cover the bun This is all too common with ground beef that has a high margin of fat Shrinkage can be avoided with better cuts of beef and better ratio of fat to beefnnThe toppings are fresh but once said and done the first bite quickly brings to mind the old Wendys adage of where is the beef In fact after all this Wendys may have been a better choice at least I could have a small chilli and cheese with my burgernnFries cannot complain They were good but why people go on about their Cajun fries like it is a new thing is beyond me Even Mikes started serving these decades ago under the heading of spicy fries just unfortunate in their case they went with frozen over freshnnOverall there is way better out there avoid the line up for this temporary niche and maybe find the nearest Dic Annes Way I see it if Johnny Rockets which made an awesome burger could not survive the high standards of Montreal then it is only a matter of time before Guys goes the way of Krispy Kreme Some highly commercial US eatery that may look great on the food channel when Guy Fieri chomps down on it but once North of the border it loses it is appeal in the face of burger joints new and old which have real character and charm rather than a box of salty peanuts
