Romer’s Burger

Romer's Burger Bar on Urbanspoon

We were walking around the Kits area, trying to find a good place to eat. We were looking for a cheaper dining place, but ended up at Romer’s Burger since the friendly hostess actually came out of the restaurant to greet us while we were looking at the menu outside.

We decided to share a dish, and ordered the special chicken burger of the month. For $12 we thought it would come with some side dishes, but to our surprise, the server said the price was only for the burger itself. Woah! Super pricey – should at least come with fries! So we ordered a side order of sea salt fries $4. They were a bit greasy, nothing wow per say. The food took a bit of time, but the burger was pretty good.

The server was friendly and the place had a good ambiance. Nice interior with the washrooms (which are located downstairs) had individual rooms with toilet and sink each. Alright food, but overpriced.

Subeez – CLOSED

Subeez on UrbanspoonThis was my third time being there, though the other 2 times, it was during the day, so it was a different atmosphere. It’s nice to see that they finally got a real menu, since the first time I was there, it was just a legal size printed paper that was crinkled.

 

The staff greeted us as soon as we walked in, and were seated in a booth. The friendly server took a while to come to our table, but it wasn’t dreadfully long or anything, so no complaints. The decor in this restaurant is quite unique. It’s not so much my style…a bit garage, grungy, hipster or gothic feel. Seems like a lot of local artists get to put up their artwork on the wall. Not sure if they’re on sale or not, but good to see the support either way. The music was a bit too loud for our liking…we’re the type of people that doesn’t like shouting over the table to hear each other. It was dark and moody, with candles lit at every table, which was nice.

Their menu before…

Anyways, I had a Groupon coupon for $10, (it was originally $20, but the voucher expired…so back to $10). I didn’t find there were much selection to choose from…especially anything healthy, except maybe the salads. We ordered the nachos $13 (ah! I know…very unhealthy >_<)

The food came fairly quick (though I can’t imagine nachos taking too much time and effort to prepare). I found it way too salty…the sour cream and chopped up tomatoes and onions on the side were good. However, for $13 it wasn’t anything spectacular. I remember Boston’s Pizza’s nacho platter being way more bigger and delicious (though that was before I become more health conscious, so who knows how I’d rate it now)

For me, it’s not the type of food or setting I like, so I likely wont be going back unless a friend wants to go or something. However, the service was pretty good.
