You know a burger is bad when you take a bite and think to yourself, \"Wow. I've had hospital food better than this. In fact, I've had vending machine hamburgers better than this.\" I'm not exaggerating. \n\nWe wanted a quick, simple pub grub meal for our last dinner in Montreal since we have to be up early in the AM. Since La Cage Aux Sports is right across from our apartment rental, it seemed to fit the bill. \n\nWe should have known when we walked in on a Friday night at and the place was COMPLETELY empty, save for two middle aged guys holding up the bar. Husband and I chose a seat at the other end of the bar, and upon sitting down noticed that most of the bar was dirty with crumbs and wrappers. I'm not sure why the bar would be so filthy considering there was nobody in it, but... okay. \n\nI ordered the Prime Rib burger. The burger had many flaws, but the most grievous sin was that it was burnt. Seriously burnt black. It tasted just like the kind of burger you'd get in a vending machine: the bun was your typical super-soft wonderbread kind, and the meat was standard factory-issue. I don't know why they would call it a Prime Rib burger when the beef had none of the juiciness or flavor of prime rib. It tasted more like the burgers you get in the frozen food section in a bag of 10 patties. I'm not above digging a Costco backyard burger, but burning it into a lump of charcoal is unforgiveable. I ate three bites, which is amazing for a girl who can eat practically anything. \n\nMy husband ordered the Hot Chicken Sandwich, which were two pieces of thickly sliced white bread (also of the spongy wonderbread variety) with chunks of chicken in between. The sandwich was then covered in gravy and then topped with peas. The bread-chicken-gravy monstrosity itself was barely warm, but even worse, the peas were cold and mushy. So. Very. Gross.\n\nDespite these huge shortcomings, the bartender/waitress was really nice (though mostly absent). Being tourists, we didn't have the guts to send the food back, so we just left our entrees mostly uneaten and hightailed it outta there after finishing our drinks. \n\nDinner ended up being cookies and chips from the Couche-Tard a couple of blocks away. Sad to end our great Montreal culinary tour on a bad note, but all the other awesome meals we've had here made up for this giant dud.
