pountine
Jo | Aug 1 2011
去完離島半天遊出左來, 與友人食埋晚飯先回家.2個人來到此店食share一個burger & poutine食...
此店即叫即整, 保証食物夠熱騰騰呀..這一點已經令我好欣賞.
等左一陣個牌就震我去取食物...一見到個poutine已經令我飽左一半....滿滿既cheese加上gravy真係十分誘人, 但愈食就愈飽漏..好彩與友人share來食, 唔係真係會浪費食物.
至於burger我只係order左個普通burger..所以材料亦唔算豐富..至於塊肉我都係覺得屬於一般啦..如果要選我都係覺得個fries比較好味d.- How much did you spend?

Build your own

It is a good idea, and lots of fun to build your own burgers. But the strong greasy smell, and the overly greasy burger kind of puts you off a bit.

Build my own burger ... at home that is !
jason.bonvivant | Jul 15 2009
I am usually not very harsh when reviewing restaurant, but this might be the first one to break that rule. Dropped by this place while in search for nice burger for lunch but I should have been less lazy and continue walking up to the SoHo area to find another one. First thing I noticed was that the menu was rather confusing, with words all over the wall / board. On the left was a bunch of individual items / ingredients to select from and on the right was a list of pre-set burgers. This place is promoting the "build your own burgers" concept hence the large selection. I was not sure where to start and stood there for over a minute until someone came over to help me. I ended up picking the (1) Jimmy the Greek value combo which comes with fries and a can of Cheery Coke (imported directly from the US for sure).
This place is more like a fast food burger joint with two dozen or so stools around some bar tables. The kitchen area was of open style hence the greasy smell you would definitely carry with you when you leave. I arrived around 1pm (peak lunch hour) but there were only 5 customers and over 7 or 8 staff in total (including the cooks).
(1) Jimmy the Greek
The main condiments under the bun were grilled peppers, cheese, black olives and hummus. Alright, where should I start. The bun was cold, the beef was definitely overcooked even when the menu said medium was the standard, the sauce was overly sour for some reasons and the fries were stale! Did I mention the beef was very dry as well? Maybe I picked an interesting style to try but the bun and beef should not be cold and dry respectively.
Its key slogan is "build your own burger," and I think they are right about that or at least trying to tell me something: I should make my own burger at home!
Likes:
* Not busy even during peak lunch hour (is it a good thing indeed?)
Dislikes:
* Cold Bun
* Dry Beef
* Stale Fries

There are better burgers in town

It's nice to see a place that lets you customize your burger's construction. However the end result isn't as tasty as could be, and the strong greasy smell means you don't want to go too often...
