Our story
We are a Calgary burger joint and natural-wine bar hybrid in Mission, serving house-ground hamburgers, crinkle-cut fries, soft-serve, and a drinks list built around natural wines, beer, and cocktails. Our space is designed around a retro, nostalgic feel, and we focus on simple, satisfying food made from quality ingredients.We run a virtual waitlist when we are at capacity, offer takeout when available, and do not take reservations. Our menu combines classic burger-joint references with playful house specialties, and we have become known for a fun, unpretentious dining experience just off 17th Avenue SW.

Y’all coming for the burger but don’t sleep on the Szechuan chicken sandwich!! We liked it more than the burger, the flavour profile was top notch and it had a great crisp to it. Super duper fries were yummy too, I loved the Coney chili because I’m a fan of HK and Filipino-style meat sauce, so a bit of sweetness worked for me 😋
Best food, service and atmosphere ive experienced in awhile. Coney sauce kicks ass and the limited time coca cola soft serve was amazing. Luckily i was by myself because it was super busy for a tuesday afternoon but im not from Calgary. The kind host quickly cleaned a spot for me at the bar to fit me in. Special thanks to the bar tender for telling the couple beside me about to cola sundae because i love coca cola. Burger was perfect aswell. I'll be sure to come back so my gf can get a chance to try it.
[UPDATE JUNE 2026] Went back again. It’s better each time. Try the Cherry Coke Sundae if you can. The new waitlist system is slightly better that it gives you 10 mins to arrive, however we had to wait upon arrival as our table wasn’t quite ready, citing internet issues.. no big deal. Ava provided amazing service =^.^= 🫶🏼[UPDATE APRIL 2026] Went back again, it was better than the first time. Review adjusted to 6/5 stars.[March 2026 Review] Wowza. Sensational. The Donald McRonald was fantastic, and the Super Fries are the best we’ve ever had. We tried both Sundaes, Malted and the Guinness Pretzel Fudge (limited time offer), both were fabulous.Jake provided excellent service and good vibes; he really made our night special. Thanks, Jake.One thing to note about the waitlist: upon receiving y
So we went to this place to see what was the Hype about and it was 100% worth it. We didn’t knew about the waitlist so we had to walk around for an hour but we got a seat earlier.Me and my wife order a burger with the super duper fries. The food took a little but it was definitely worth it. You can taste the “made at home” flavour. Everything was juicy and tasty. Definitely recommend to try it.
I can tell why this place is so hot!The California Classic burger is amazing, pretty big portion for girl like me, patties are smashed to thin so they are crispy on the outside but still can keep the juiciness inside, they put lots of lettuce which i love, not a lot of burger places do that, sauce are just enough to make it not too greasy.I came for the fries cause it looked so promising but turned out fine but not to my expectation lol. Coney Fries has a savoury and sweet taste ground beef sauce, but more on the sweetness, i think made from tomato sauce, it goes well with fries, and the cheetos crumbs on top (idk i thought it was cheddar cheese but its crunchy and fun to eat with the sauce, just the fries was not fried to it golden and crispy so a little minus on that, wished it could hav

Customer services is wonderful, the girls are supper nice and friendly keep checking on hows the food and refiling my water.
This was a great experience with a fabulous burger at an affordable price in a clean and cozy restaurant. It was super quick, perfectly portioned, fresh crisp toppings, perfect bun and perfectly spiced patty. The whole staff were fun and engaged and helpful.
I joined the virtual queue and got a table after about 2 hours - it was pretty simple and convenient. I tried the winnipeg fat boy and my family had the BBQ burger, chicken royale and the veggie. Both the bbq and the winnipeg were incredible and definitely worth a try if you enjoy beef burgers - however the chicken was also highly commended and looked incredibly juicy.
Music is super loud so if you don’t like that just know in advance. Would definitely go back.
