I have tried their hotdogs before but they were not my cup of tea.

Found out recently that they have burritos and milkshakes so came back to try them.

The milkshakes that they do are:
CHOCOLATE
VANILLA
BLUEBERRY
STRAWBERRY
CANADIAN MAPLE
PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE
CHOCOLATE BACON
EARL GREY
SEA SALT CARAMEL

They used to have MARSHMALLOW and MYSTERY (mixed flavour) milkshake as well.

If you are missing FOODJUNKIES lobster rolls, they serve that here too for $140.
The decor has not changed since my last visit.

Here was what I tried:

Sweet potato fries:
They were the same as the ones at Heirloom but saltier and were fried too long.

Beef burrito bowl :
The chicken was sold out so had to get the beef.
The beef was so chewy that I didn't eat it and I was not the only one complaining according to mjhk's review.
I found the rice oily and tasteless too.
Quoted from mjhk's review:
"The first was very chewy, quite poor quality meat....The rice is oddly yellow in color and tastes of tumeric and not much else."

I liked their refried beans, sour cream and the usual stuff but they don't give you much here.
Normal burritos don't have olives but they allow you to pick anything from their condiments section which is why your seeing them.

Came here twice for milkshake and I believe the lady usually makes them because the guy wasnt sure and the ones he made were sweeter.

Quoted from mjhk's review:
It was clear that the people working the counter were googling "how to make a milkshake."

They make all their milkshakes with icecream.

Sea salt caramel:

This was made by the guy and it was too sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Earl grey :

This was the only one I liked because it had a really strong earl grey taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
chocolate and bacon:

The chocolate and bacon was very disappointing because it was just blended chocolate icecream so it was a waste of $40 on blended chocolate icecream which you can get at 7-11.
Although there were pieces of crispy bacon but that was expected because it is a milkshake with bacon!!
