Oh geez - after looking at all the pics for this place I practically had a food boner! I drove over there ready to be amazed. It is a small mom and pop joint with an easy going atmosphere. The menu was unique and I was intrigued. The food was fresh, cheap and plentiful. There really is no reason not to like this place. Sorry to reprot: I was disappointed in the food. We ordered a Bahn Mi & a Buckeye hot dog plus an order of fries. I wanted to love this place but this is one bandwagon I simply cannot get with. Basically, you get a hot dog topped with a garrish array of competing ingredients. The food didn't go together. The toppings and the dog were not in harmony. It is kinda like when the Houston Rockets teamed Olajuwon with Drexler and then added Barkly. Three great players but they just didn't seem to go together. The Buckeye dog - pork belly, corn, cheese and mayo- just didn't work. The Bahn Mi - Pork belly, slaw, siracha mayo- just didn't work. The fries were just normal too. They were supposed to have parm cheese but I tasted nothing. Maybe a sprinkle of some spice mixture and that's it. I didn't even finish the hot dogs or the fries. This place has great reviews - so by all means check it out. This is just one guy's opinion. I guess I just like my dogs with some kraut and mustard...

2 stars is being generous. 1 star is for a great location in Old Montreal and the other star is because my wife likes their salt and pepper chicken wings. It fails at being a sports bar. Sure they show a few games but they simultaneously pipe in Whitney Houston and Celine Dion greatest hits over the sound system. Food has no imagination, variety or taste. Service and management are very weak. Have had several issues over the 5 times that I have been there with no satisfactory resolutions. Waste of a great location in Le Vieux Port!

This location is Cherry Lash Lounge's newer venue, and it is just as good as the one on the west side of town. It is a smaller location, and a bit hard to find, as it is nestled in a small shopping center off of Eastern Avenue. Despite its slightly hidden location, the customer service and quality is just as good as their other store. They are not yet fully set up on Yelp, so in order to receive the check-in discount, you'll have to check into the west side location, but they happily applied it for me. While I'd prefer to continue getting my lashes on the west side, my lash artist now works in Henderson- so it looks like I'll be making the trek- she's that good!

Looking for someplace to have a reasonably priced late breakfast, we settled on Max Brenner's. Deciding upon the Belgian waffle. This was more of a dessert than a breakfast, but it was still plenty tasty. Inside, the place is something like if Willie Wonka had become a hipster. There are pipes running throughout to make it seem like there is chocolate running through the ceiling. Downstairs there's a tiny shop to buy massive blocks of chocolate or little souvenirs. Service is friendly and we were well taken care of during our visit. I can't think of anything to make Max Brenner stand out as amazing, but the place is creative and everything is done very well.
