Deep Dive: Meet the Four Must-Try Burgers
Let’s talk stacks. These aren’t your sad backyard burgers. These are Warehouse-level creations, messy, meaty (or not), and loaded with flavour. Bonus? They all hover around $11–$12. Insane, we know.
- Works 2.0: Juicy patties (yes, plural), melty cheese slices, and crunchy bacon all slathered in our Macho sauce. It’s the burger blueprint, the one people call the benchmark.
- Mushroom Melt: Swiss cheese + garlic onion crunch + rich mushroom gravy = steakhouse flavour, bar-food budget. You don’t need a tux. But you will need napkins.
- Texas BBQ: This one slaps: BBQ-chipotle aioli, jalapeños, and smoky vibes. Pairs ridiculously well with a cold draft and questionable decisions.
- Veggie Burger: Black-bean patty stacked with guac, feta, and corn salsa. Proof you don’t need meat to throw down flavour. Vegetarians, this one respects you, and it respects your budget also.
Each of these legends is served with fries or greens, so no sides are left behind. There is a reason we are a local favourite. Seriously, show us another trove of food in Ottawa where this much taste hits under $12.
Sides That Upgrade The Meal
A burger is great. But a burger with extras? Life-changing.
- Poutine: Rich gravy, squeaky cheese curds. Turn any plate into a full feast.
- Loaded Fries: Melted cheese and spice make everything nice.
- Wings: Make your burger meal a team sport.
Drink Pairings: Budget Cocktails & Drafts
We’re not saying you need a drink with your burger. But we are saying it might turn your Tuesday into an event and make your meal a whole lot more wholesome.
- Pink Warehouse: This is the tower you’ve seen on Instagram. Gin, peach schnapps, and a flipped Corona? Absolute madness. Try it with the Works 2.0 for full chaos.
- Watermelon Jalapeño Mojito: Cool, sweet, spicy, refreshing, this one smooths out the BBQ jalapeño heat like a charm.
- 14 oz Corona: Cold, clean, and crushable. It goes with everything from Mushroom Melt debates to 2 a.m. life talks.
- Guava Spritz (zero-proof): Non-alcoholic, full attitude. Because fun shouldn’t mean sipping sad soda.
