Absolutely perfect drive-in burger stand. The quality and price is as good as anywhere I've been, and the location is lovely. Excellent service. Top notch coated fries. Shade tree. Simple well done classic burger stand food. Staff have been well trained on the deep-fryer, which is getting rare these days. An absolute must for anyone who loves a good burger and fries.

Came here 3 days in a row while visiting nearby. We got burgers, fries, and onion rings the first night. Poutine and zucchini sticks the next night. Delicious, cooked-to-order, so it's all fresh. One of the best poutines I've had! Will be back next time I'm in in town!

We got the 2 piece fish and chips and they were really good! The fries were crispy and fresh and the fish had a good batter / flavor. Good portion for the price (around 15). The milkshake was good too. They have little picnic tables and tables around outside and a bathroom. Busy little place in the summer!

We went with a very large group (14) and ordered quite a few different things on the menu and EVERYONE enjoyed their meals. Everything was hot, crispy and delicious. We all finished off our meal with some patty balls and they were amazing! Highly recommend.

Lovely service and great variety of food. Good value too. The location is a little out of town on the road so we got takeaway and took it to the lake. They do have a little seating out front which is nice.

Nice stop for ice cream, milkshakes, fries, burgers and other yummy goodies! We stopped here for a quick ice cream on a hot summers day, and decided to try their fries too. Super crunchy and delicious fries! Portions are great! Good value for the money.

Really great chicken burger, fantastic service and they gave me an ice cream cone for free since they were testing their machine! Try the river burger if you enjoy spicy food!

Great little roadside fast food option just off the highway. Varied menu and the young women working that day did a great job. I didn’t take a photo but my burger was so neatly put together it was a shame to mess it up but it tasted great. It’s only open until Oct 6 because there is no indoor seating so enjoy it while you can.
