This was our first visit, and the place was packed with people. I liked the atmosphere they created β€” it felt lively and welcoming. However, I wasn’t impressed with the food. Everything we tried was overly oily and too salty for my taste.

Our first time here at the Totem outlet. Delicious burgers - better than our usual burger joint Tipsy Cow. We love the burgers, so tasty and not super greasy. The crunchy coleslaw is delish! We had the waffle fries with burgers, and we like the regular fries more! The hot dog was also really good. Best part, great service at the bar and the music is amazing - not too loud and just the right vibe. Thanks for a great Saturday! ******* Just came for the third time on March 16. We tried the sliders again, like on our second visit last weekend, but strangely, they were served on hot dog buns instead of the regular buns we had last time. Hmm. The club sandwich was good, with the classic fried egg, but I was a bit disappointed by the inconsistency with the sliders. I’m adding a photo from today, showing the sliders with hot dog buns compared to last time.

We came here for lunch during the week when it wasn't as busy. The service was great, everyone was very friendly and helpful. It has a very nice atmosphere and spacious. The food was very good. We shared a burger and the Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich. The chicken sandwich was amazing and I've been craving it ever since. We will definitely return to this spot when in the area.

Great happy hours and pricing. Buffalo calamari is creative and well balanced with the salad, similar with the street corn, the pouting like dish is great too with retaining crispy French fries. Burger itself has great char and is on a soft bun, but very vegetable heavy like a salad is on top of it. Only complaint is the menu, the whiskey list will not display prices, and no displayed way of substituting your fries for a salad which is desired because of the amount of fried starters you could have.

Took my parents here and they loved every dish we have ordered. Definitely recommend it for anyone who wants to eat some burgers or fries with milkshakes. Great place for whiskey flights and old fashioned cocktails. Truffle fries are the best in town!
