Stopped in here for the first time last night and I have to say the food was decent but Pierce, the person working behind the counter, was absolutely lovely. They were knowledgeable, friendly, warm and made us laugh. A true gem to have on any hospitality team! Thanks for the amazing service Pierce!

This is the only Habernaros/Cheese Curds I've been to ; because I live close by. I end up there around once every couple weeks after work because they have some great food.
But huge shout out to the staff at this location that are always friendly and personable! Love the way they communicate with both their co-workers and the customers. Shout-out to the guy with a beard and glasses that works up front and actually gets you excited for your food - that guy deserves a raise!
Really top notch people working there.

I’ve simply had it with this horrible restaurant.
NEVER order in advance and pay online.
1. When you go to pickup your order lots of items missing and not available on the day you’re there. But they do nothing for the charges they’ve put on your credit card.
Always an excuse…..”we’re not making that today”. So what are you going to do to make up the difference in price bc I paid online and 2/5 items ordered, you’re not making that today. Unprofessional.
2. The location is horrible. You have to walk around the building to get in as there is no access from the parking lot. The parking lot of for Starbucks and pretty narrow and small as it is.
3. Decided to give them a 4th chance and went today. Asked for a menu. The worker behind the counter told me to look it up online. There’s a hanging sign from the ceiling with 5 items on it. She told us to read the sign. The online menu has more than 40 items.
4. This place is filthy
I highly recommend to go anywhere else.
I see most online reviews that aren’t glowing, aren’t acknowledged. Only the good reviews.
Horrible place. Nasty workers. Dirty restaurant.

Best burritos in town! Fire.
Went in last night for a quick meal & wifi. Burrito bowl. It was alright... until I finished and saw the staff.
She had the sniffles while preparing food, and using her glove hand to wipe food/debris off the counter but the major concern was she literally sneezed again, again and again over the counter, open air, and directed towards food/containers. No effort to cover herself. Sanitation standards are nearing rock bottom.

The staff has completely changed. The employee did not know how to make a proper burrito, it looked like his first time. We also each had a poutine, there was barely any sauce. We had it to take out, by the time we were home it was too lte. It just is not the same. For the price, this place used to be a treat for us once in a while, now it is over priced low quality food. The staff was also extremely hard to understand, definitely a language barrier. No gloves were worn and I did not see anyone washing their hands.

Ate here for the first time in a little over a year, used to get this pretty often when I lived in the area. Sad to say I won’t be getting it again, at least never from this location.
First and foremost, I am ALL for hiring immigrants. But why would you put someone who doesn’t understand English as the cashier?? It just seems cruel to them and to your customers.
This afternoon I lined up with 4 people ahead of me. I overheard communication issues when the first two people were trying to pay. The woman at the cash kept giving them the wrong change back and was being defensive when called out. When it was the man in front of me’s turn, the regular employee had to do something in the back, so she took over the taco station. He had to repeat everything he wanted at least twice, and when he told her he wanted cheese on only the second one, she put corn on instead. He requested a new taco as it was mixed pretty heavily with everything, and instead she took her finger and wiped half the stuff off and wrapped up the taco without replacing the stuff. The man didn’t say anything but he looked bewildered and annoyed.
When it was my turn to place my order, the woman asked if I wanted fries or a drink with one of the burritos I was ordering, I told her no combo just the burrito but I had other items. She then tells me it’s $13 and again I repeat, I HAVE other items! She got very annoyed at me “I ASKED you if you wanted something else!” - in very broken English. And I again told her that I said I didn’t want a combo. She then huffed and rolled her eyes at me, I asked for the other two items for my family’s meal and every time I finished saying one item she would loudly go “IS THAT ALL”. I was originally going to give her cash, but after watching her with the other woman I had meant to switch to debit but was so taken back by her attitude that I still accidentally gave her cash instead and was also given the wrong change. It was only off by $1 and some change so I didn’t say anything cause I wasn’t happy with her attitude towards me either.
As for the food itself, it’s gone downhill badly and the proportions are terrible and not worth the money. One of my burritos was a jumbo, the other a regular and he put the exact same amount of beef on both. When I confirmed it was a jumbo and questioned him about it, he said that I didn’t pay for extra beef. No I didn’t, but when I say I want the largest burrito I expect it to have more meat than the smaller one.
I decided I’d also get a drink to go and asked for a regular fountain pop and handed her change. I was given the smallest cup there and I asked if this was a regular or a small? She told me that was a regular and the other “small-medium” ish size cup was a large. That cost almost $3 and when she ripped me off on the change again, I did call her out and she just shrugged and walked away.
What a terrible attitude and atmosphere of a restaurant. Also, the poutine was disgusting and it looked like someone had added fat or mayo to the bottom. Fries were undercooked and bland.
I didn’t understand the hate towards the owner before when I lived there, but I sure do now.
