My thoughts:
My friend HF and I originally had our hearts set on going to Buddha Pie, but after walking for about 20 minutes, we were dismayed to find that it was closed. We arrived at 5:17pm, and according to the sign posted on its front door, its hours of operation are Tuesday to Sunday from 5pm to 9pm. This is the second failed attempt I've made to come here. Needless to say, I was disappointed.
Our Plan B was to head back to Bloor Street and my friend suggested The Works. We were promptly seated by a young, friendly host who was able to provide us with a table by the window.
HF and I decided to share a burger and an app so that we could each try more things. This is what we got:
Tower-O-Rings ($10) - Crispy breaded onions rings served with 2 dipsticks (aka dipping sauces). There were literally 10 onion rings, which if you think about it has is crazy markup. That's not even a whole onion, for crying out loud! The batter was good though, just expensive.
Grills Gone Wild (about $12) - Grilled eggplant, avocado, salsa loco & feta cheese. Comes with a side, which we paid $1.50 to upgrade to sweet potato fries. The toppings complemented one another well and the burger itself was very good. The sweet potato fries were not bad, but were nothing memorable. The dipping sauce though, was a really disappointment. It was very spicy but didn't really offer much in terms of flavour. I'd rank the fries as one of the worst ones I've had recently.
All in all, this is a nice place to hit up if you're in the mood for burgers as there are lots of options and there is surely something to suit every taste. But if you're also in the mood for some good sides, you won't find them here. Very limited apps (there were maybe 5 or so when I went).
