I've been to this burger place a few times now. I think the burgers are absolutely fantastic. I had been skeptical about coming at first. I call new places to see if they're cutting fresh fries. When they said no, I just moved along. I was brought in one day while coming out of the vet office (best in town!) and I figured I'd just grab something quick. I ended up ordering and eating in. Burgers? Out of this world. I don't know who thinks there is filler in them because there isn't. This is a delicious beef patty and the burgers are available in 2oz-12oz options. The 12 is 2 6oz patties and is quite a filling meal! The toppings are the standards (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, ketchup, etc) and to be honest, I'd say one of the top 5 burgers in St Catharines. We've also enjoyed the spring rolls and chili. Pretty decent chicken strips, too. My ONLY gripe so far is frozen fries. The bane of existence. I feel this place could do AMAZING fries if they took the time. The home fries are a bit better than the French fries, but still frozen. With burgers so fresh and delicious, a side of fresh cut French fries would absolutely rock. It'd be the perfect burger joint. I'm a stickler when it comes to frozen food from a restaurant. I like fresh. There is a good selection of other items like fish and chips, chicken, sandwiches, and daily specials. The owners are so kind and amazing, friendly people. If you love a good, fresh burger, go in and grab one. You will not be disappointed! The 12oz cheese and bacon is fit for a king! This place is a gem.

Best burgers ever! The cook took fresh meat out of the fridge and cooked the burgers to perfection. The final product is absolutely delicious, juicy burgers. All the people who reviewed this place and gave it poor ratings, claiming that they use frozen patties must be paid by the competitor. You are greeted by two very kind human beings who are not your typical burger joint owners, but who cares?! You get excellent food, amazing service and a very clean restaurant. All for $8 (no combo). You pay more than this in McDonald's but oh please don't even compare! If you can't differentiate between good food and bad food, because the establishment is ran by people who look different, then you deserve not better than McDonald's. I will definitely go back to this and I thank the owners for their great food and amazing service

Highly recommend visiting them, one of the best burger spots in St. Catharines. They have 12oz burgers for reasonable prices and the staff is very friendly.

Burgers and fries are on point. The patty is a ground beef and filling blend with great flavor. They also have home style Chinese meals, which was superb. It has good portion size and very subtle taste. would definitely recommend it if you are in the area. Try avoiding it during noon since all the kids from secondary come here for lunch.

Great little spot. Good burger and matching price. Had some egg rolls that were fresh and delicious. The sweetest little older lady and her husband behind the counter. Big smiles and warm greeting. Set out my condiments and served me at my seat. checked on me and the other guests once we had tried our food to make sure everything was good. I miss this type of quality from mom N pop shops 10/10
