It depends on the time of day. At dinner, our burgers are served with fries, and you can substitute a salad. At lunch, our handhelds are priced on their own, and you can add a side of fries or a side salad for an extra charge. Lunch prices are lower to reflect that.

A 15% gratuity is added to groups of 8 or more. There are no other automatic charges. If you are unsure about anything on your bill, ask your server and we will explain it before you pay.

Yes, and they are marked on every menu. Vegetarian options include our house made black bean and chickpea veggie burger, hot cauli bites, fried dill pickles, poutine, caesar and pomegranate salads, veggie omelettes and breakfast bowls, pancakes, french toast, power oats and a breakfast banana split and more. You can also substitute a veggie burger patty for chicken on any salad.

We offer gluten free bread and buns as a substitute on most handhelds, burgers, breakfasts and omelettes for an extra charge, and gluten free toast is available as a side. There are many good gluten free options. If you go to the “Allergens” tab you’ll see all the allergen details for every item. Please tell your server about any allergy or dietary restriction when you order so the kitchen can handle it properly.

All of our chicken is halal.

We do not take reservations, just first come, first served. If we are full, we seat guests using a waitlist. Stop by the host booth and add your name/number, and we will send you a text message when your table is ready. You are welcome to walk around town while you wait. Because we seat in the order people join the list, you may see guests seated ahead of you who added their name earlier.

It varies with the season and the time of day. Mid-summer lunch between 1:00PM-2:30PM and dinner between 6:00PM-7:30PM are our busiest periods. We pride ourselves on being fast and getting our customers seated as quickly as possible even for large groups. When we have a waiting list the time our guests wait is often 5 to 10 minutes but extreme cases can occur where it’s longer. If you are in a hurry, takeout is usually the fastest option.

Yes, and we are good at it. Large groups are a daily occurrence here. We regularly seat tables of ten, fifteen and twenty, and we have sections that can hold up to forty people in one area.
