The Works Gourmet Burger Bistro

I have been to many Works locations but this ranks as one of the best. The staff were super friendly and very casual in conversation. The food was excellent as always is at the works. This location wasn't too busy at the time we went and we had a lovely relaxed meal. My daughter is vegetarian so we are always looking for a new place she can eat and she loved the burger here.

After trudging through an unfortunate amount of slush and rain, we got to the top of Bank and into the small restaurant. It's bigger on the inside than it looks, but is still small compared to most of its competitors in the chain family restaurant category. I'm a cynical man, so I usually raise my nose at the corporate kitsch that chains use to make their restaurants feel like they have a soul

The works is an interesting burger joint for all of the different types of burger toppings you can get there. It makes for a difficult decision when looking at the menu. It is pretty hard not to pick something that is good but nothing has really hit a home run for me yet. The milkshakes are awesome though.

Pretty good burger and lots of variety! They have a neat rotating menu that features constantly changing custom burgers and appetizers. Easy to get to location with a patio too. Highly recommend the lunch options as it's just the right amount of food for a good price.

I think we are being a bit generous with this rating on the basis of today's experience, but I've been here before and have enjoyed the crazy burger experience. That being said today was a bit of a disappointment. I'll start with the food, and then get to what I think put the nail in the coffin of today's dining experience.

I ordered the Beyond Burger to see what this no-meat plant-based burger was all about....can't say I was overwhelmed, but it wasn't bad. My son's bacon burger combo was good and he seemed pleased with it. My daughters breaded chicken was quite over done and she didn't even want to eat it.

The biggest disappointment was the service. Our server was pleasant, and service was good up to the point we got our plates. It was at this point that the service really dropped off. We didn't see the server again until we were done. I was too busy with the kids to really deal with it so we just said no to dessert, paid the bill, and left. Better luck next time, maybe....
