Absolutely FANTASTIC cheeseburger! It's not crazy looking or anything. Actually, pretty normal looking, but the taste and their mix of type and amount of toppings is perfect! I was having a beer next door while stopping in town in the bike and the bartender told me about the food next door. They delivered the burger, which was awesome. And then, the taste, it was just like a McDonald's Quarter Pounder with Cheese, but with a better bun and little more taste. I'll definitely eat here when I'm in St Anne again.

We had a single and a triple gyro Closest thing in town to up north food. It was fantastic. The single made 2 very big gyros The triple… if we would have asked for 3 more pitas. There still would have been leftover meat! Super fresh Taziki sauce. Made in house! Fresh sliced onion and tomato. (That was actually ripe!) And they have the good fries.. (you know what I mean) They put oasis to shame.. 10/10 will return!

Friendly staff serving hot and fresh food made to order with great prices!! I had the daily special (Monday) Gyro Cheeseburger and it was excellent! Made the mistake of sharing a picture in the Family chat and now guess who has to buy them dinner? Lol. At least everyone finally agreed on a place to order from. I will be back! Hidden gem!
