We've lived in the area for four years now and finally decided to try this place out this morning. The wait took a while, which we get, it's Father's Day. However, once we got seated, it became the most stressful breakfast I've ever encountered. One of the waitstaff was literally running around like a chicken with her head cut off, barking orders at the other staff who were doing their best at keeping up with the throng of people there to enjoy breakfast. One of my sons (6 years old) doesn't like breakfast food, so when he attempted to order chicken tenders, and we were told (by the barky waitress) that the fryers weren't on and he could only have breakfast, we totally understood. Makes sense! I attempted to order him a grilled cheese as it doesn't require a fryer, and she downright refused and left our table, saying "figure it out"! My son is really upset at his point because he's hungry and tired from waiting, and they can't seem to make him a grilled cheese. I have a feeling if I'd ordered him a "breakfast sandwich on toast with only cheese" it wouldn't have been a problem, but for some reason, a grilled cheese for a six year old was too much to ask. He ended up eating toast, and I made him a grilled cheese when we got home. We ordered an Eggs Benedict (pretty good, not nearly the best I've had) and husband ordered a burrito (we could have made the equivalent at home, just as well). The other woman who brought our food was very delightful, nice and accommodating to the best she could be. While there, I observed a family (also with a very young child, about 2) who was brought their food, and spent about four minutes trying to gain the attention from anyone working (all the while, everyone avoided making eye contact with this family) there because they did not have utensils to eat with. The woman from that table eventually got up and went to the back to ask someone for silverware. We love supporting small businesses and are always looking for new ones to try out, but unfortunately, this one, we will not be returning to.

First time here. Decided to try this place based off of the 4 star rating from Yelp. Once my boyfriend and I walked in we were bombarded with the large amount of chairs and tables even though the place was empty and not a single person walked in while we were waiting for our food. It was 5pm and the back looked like they were about to close. We placed our order and sat down while they were making our food. What was disturbing to be me was they were questioning their food to each other. They have a window where you can see the cook make the food and I saw that they threw the fish and the rolled tacos to fry in the same deep fryer which is a major cross contaminate. After the fish was done in the fryer they threw it on the griddle and saw the cook poke the fish like she was looking for something and then smelled it like if she was trying to determine if it was bad. We still kept our minds open and gave them an opportunity to see if the food was good because most hole in the walls places have some of the best food. We came home and openes the take our boxes and was disappointed. It looked very plain and ehhh. We took a bite and sure enough it had no taste at all. I would not be coming back to this location or recommend this place. Oh and they only accept cash only. I was disappointed.

Ok so here is what this is, a greasy spoon with an old decor that serves up some of the best burgers in town. I don't remember how we came upon it, but I can tell you I have been going there for well over 5 years and I go there for the burgers. The one I recommend the most is the prime-burger, which on today's visit was being offered as a trio, burger,fries and a can of soda, for the very impressive price of 8$. These are very good 5-10 napkin burgers,... huge patti (cooked to order and yes you will get it medium) unless you ask otherwise, but for me that is perfect, with onions,tomatoes, lettuce, mayo, cheese, and bacon. It is an old school burger that will be falling apart into in a hot squishy mess of flavors before you get done, so it is not for the first date experience (not to mention that the decor is not conducive to romance). but for the Burger aficionados. The place kinda looks like it was frozen in time (maybe 70' a bit of the 80's), your fellow diners may be varied, or it may seem like you just stumbled into a bingo hall, don't let that sway you. I have yet to sample a lot of the menu, but I am convinced you could find other secret gems, and at that price you would never be wrong. The service is fast, friendly and something about this place is endearing, at least to me, so next time your craving a burger, or have a hangover try these out, you will be happy you did and in no time you too will be hankering a steer burger, which is what we thought the name was, until I decided to review and found the real name FYI it is convieniently located near a dollarama, an SAQ, a Pharmacie and Valmont, so you can easily go there whilst running errands. Just a thought.....

We had a great time yesterday on a rainy (yes rainy) Sunday morning. We arrived around ten-thirty and the place was packed. There must have been two dozen ahead of us waiting in line. So, after a few minutes we decide to sit at the counter, since it was mostly empty. Our waitress was Briann, who set us up with some coffee almost as we sat down. Great start! We ordered the waffles with thick-cut pepper bacon with a couple of spicy sausage patties and some eggs, hashbrowns and bacon. Everything was very good and as we came to the end of our meal, we noticed the Hostess and told her to take our name off the list for a table. LOL! Turns out the list was for the counter as well. D'oh! Then why were all the seats empty? Anyway, the rains let up and we were off to the Phoenix Art Museum. Great way to start a Sunday morning. Our total was a fair $26.50 including taxes, but before gratuities. Enjoy!
