What People's Say About Place

Delicious storefront of a by the bridge food trailer operation, and inside at the counter they even replicated their food trailer origins!! The poutine was outstanding, Just be aware that the gravy is served on the side, the hand cut fries were very good. My smashburger was excellent, I highly recommend!

The burgers here are fantastic. They make everything to order. It's well worth the wait. The Rodeo Cheeseburger, the Cheese Curds, the Swiss and Mushroom Burger, and the Bacon Ranch Mac and Cheese were delicious. The burgers were fresh, had a ton of toppings and cheese, but they were contained and easy to eat. I'd drive 45 minutes for this again.

Order arrived even faster than expected, hot and delicious We ordered the mac and cheese, hand cut fries, and two smash burgers. My daughter liked the mac n’cheese so much we ordered it again yesterday. Added another smash burger, I think she’s going to miss them when she goes back to school!!

We both had the rodeo burgers which were amazing! The poutine tater tots and chocolate shake was wonderful! The cheese curds weren't as crispy as I hoped but the flavor was good! Overall it was really delicious but slightly more expensive than I had thought it would be.

OMG this place is amazing. Not only is the service fast but the burgers are phenomenal. The fries are hand cut and the burgers are made to order. Im so glad my son took me here. I will be back the next time I'm in town.

Picked this place for dinner based on reviews. It definitely didn't disappoint. I had the bacon, jalapeño popper burger and poutine fries. The burger was excellent. There's something about the crispy edges of a smash burger that just makes it great. The bun was toasted and the cream cheese and peppers really did a great job of imitating a jalapeño popper. I would definitely get this one again. The poutine fries were good but I think I would just do regular fries the next time because it was a little pricey. The fries themselves were awesome and I think I'd like them better just with salt and malt vinegar. The staff was super friendly and quick to get our order out to us. Really enjoyed the place and the "food truck" counter is an awesome touch.

Stopped in for the first time today and seen Josh. Extremely friendly he and his crew were. I could tell by out 5 minute conversation how passionate he is about not just his business but burgers in general. Before anyone complains about the price, I'll say this. It's competitive if not cheaper than the big smash burger chain restaurants across the country. He also is sourcing a lot of the food locally. That's worth the extra few pennies vs a fast food restaurant or a sit down place. Now the flavor profile was on point here. You get the strong beef flavor, seasonings from their special magic as Josh calls it and the cheese melted perfectly. The fresh cut fries were crispy and salted up just right. Now finally i have to add that they even remembered the small things. Things like 2 types of vinegar for your fries, Poutine & Tots both on the menu. But most importantly the most lacked step in sandwich/burger making is toasting the buns. Yes folks! They toast the brioche buns on their flat top here. They don't miss even the smallest detailed step. This is a well thought out burger restaurant with friendly, quick and quality service. 5 Stars from me. *Note the burger in the photo sat in the bag for a while after purchase as i was in the middle of running errands. So the look is on me, not them.*

Delicious! I'm a Canadian and love my poutine and I loved what the Fry's! Was so yummy with real cheese curds, chicken gravy, perfectly cooked french fries at a decent price! Definitely coming back for more!
