Second time being at the dirty and I have not been disappointed! Food is phenomenal, great barbecue but especially the chicken dishes, and the service was very tentative and quick. Overall fantastic time!

Burger felt very over cooked, once you add in the crispy onions and crispy bacon you’re left with very unsatisfying and dry meal. Fries were okay. This is the second time I’ve been here and it’s been very average each time. There are too many good smash burger/fried chicken options in the city now to sell this combo for $20. I know this place has been around for a while and I know people who enjoy it, but I think I’m done trying this place.

A group of six of us went for a Friday work lunch. We were able to sit down immediately and look over the menu. We ordered (4 chicken sandwiches, 2 brisket hoagies) thinking we’d eat and be back to work in no time. Then we waited. For most of our visit we were the only patrons in the restaurant. After a considerable wait, without explanation or apology, we were served our meals which were very good. It’s good food but they’re going to need to figure out the delay in the kitchen. I didn’t use the restroom, but a colleague suggested it needed some attention.

I have ordered from this place countless times over the past year and they’ve always been good. My usual order is the fried chicken poutine which is generally fried in a fryer with batter. The past two orders I have gotten has been pan fried chicken or they used the bare minimum amount of batter to fry. I feel The quality of the food has seemingly gone down since it’s opening. The box it came in was also not the restaurant we ordered from… some research on that showed they closed their location in July with the new Name on the box was taproom. If this came from them I Will not be ordering again from either locations

Had a great experience here! Cute little location with a good vibe and indoor or outdoor seating. The server was very attentive, the drink was strong, and the food was good. Price was good/normal for what you get. It was very clean and well kept. Definitely would eat here again.

After our walk on the Mountainview Park west pathway my wife and I stopped in for lunch one Saturday. She had the OG crispy chicken and I had the big cluck . Although mine cost less , it came with a side of tater tots while my wife got nothing , so I shared. Both sandwiches were juicy and delicious. Fountain drinks come with free refills . Service was fast , and the server was friendly and attentive. Nice little diner with clean washrooms and nice atmosphere . They’re only open until 2pm .
