    Food came out quickly, however we still didn’t have our drinks after 10 minutes of eating. Drinks eventually arrived when our food was almost finished, and no apology offered.

    Lovely food and lots of choice! 7 of us ate and all had a variety of options and enjoyed everything, especially the to die for buffalo fries! Only downside was we were sat next to the door and it was freezing we had to keep our jackets on from the door opening with customers but also staff taking food/drink outside.

    Food fantastic as always, outside seating in January is always risking for the temperature but usually if you are in the middle or under the heater it's warm. This time however we were the tables next to exit where there is no overhead heater so coffee & food went cold faster.

    Lovely place. Nice and clean. Excellent food. Good atmosphere. Lovely staff. The only down side is the toilet is in a wee cabin at the side. But it's warm and clean and tidy. Highly recommend booking as it can get very busy. There's limited seating indoors. But plenty out door seating. Don't worry. There's space heaters so you don't get cold.

    Brilliant lunch, great service; there's a reason my friends and I travel 45 minutes out of our way to meet here, and its because it's always amazing. I had the Beef Dip, my friend had the onion burger, we shared a maple bacon poutine and each had a coffee. All delicious and served super promptly! 10/10 would recommend (and frequently do).
