ottawa foodies

I made it there today with some colleagues for a tailgate meetup . Everything looked good - but it was all really salty. The fries and the buger (I had the bacon cheese burger). I also ordered a chocolate shake that magically turned into strawberry by the time I started drinking it.

I so wanted to enjoy this place, but the salt content was just way too high. This was the Merrivale location, maybe I just got unlucky.

I stopped by for a cheeseburger this week. Covid Protocols are well defined even though I was the only customer. (Heads up that online ordering seems to have a mandatory tip page). The cheeseburger was fresh and very tasty. I had the full complement of toppings and overall the burger was reminiscent of an A&W offering in both flavour and price. Big difference was the Priest’s bun. Surprisingly, it was great.

So the wife and I went by on opening weekend to try them out. I got myself the Vatican (a double cheeseburger with grilled cheese sandwiches as buns) and she got a double low priest(Their big mac essentially).

So, the burgers were really good. Patties were tasty, as was their special sauce. The grilled cheeses were surprisingly good.

The fries would be perfect with a hit of malt vinegar, so if you get takeout, make sure you have some at home for em.

That being said, they are heavy heavy burgers. I am no longer a young man, and I overate to the point of feeling cruddy all night, so maybe next time I won't go into such hedonistic excess.
