  Wow! What a delicious burger! Came here with the fam and we all got cheeseburgers. Burger patty was nice, thick, and seasoned well, toppings fresh and buns came from COBS. Fries were really good too.
  
  I didn't have high expectations but was VERY impressed. Much like a primo backyard burger. Will be back!

  So very, very sad.  As my son said, "Well, it was good while it lasted."  Went to Dex yesterday. (Sunday afternoon, about 430 pm.) No smile, no hello, nothing.  These used to be friendly, happy folks at this place. Anyway, on to the BIG disappointment.  Many years now, we have ordered the "Atlantic Salmon" burger.  It USED to be an actual piece of salmon filet.  Grilled, delicious.  It is now basically a cat food patty.  Pre formed, salty, dry, overpriced YUCK burger.  The lady that used to smile and put on your toppings-with care-I might add, just squirted mass amounts of mayo on each side of the bun.  I guess to off set the dryness of the "salmon" puck.  Anyway, as I said-so very sad as it's hard get a decent salmon burger for a decent price anywhere on the North Shore. Won't be back.  :(

  Sometimes I just want a simple bacon cheese burger, and this place gives me just that. Everytime I visit the Quay, I'd come here to get a burger and bring it to the brewery to enjoy it with a pint of beer. That's the way to go.

  I really enjoyed my hamburger from here.
  Plain and simple, this is what they do best in this food court area.  
  
  Honestly, I was surprised their burgers are this good.
  They're not too fashionable, not over the top.  I didn't really care at that time if it was from a frozen patty or hand made.  The results were good enough that I enjoyed it.
  
  TBH, I feel bad for reviewers like Robert G who had a bad experience with the food here.
  It can happen to anyone.  However maybe the owners are new?
  Places like these are rotating owners all the time and sadly most of the time they're not as good as the originals.  
  I can attest that this place is not like what that reviewer wrote about. (it had to have been an off day, or something).
  Read the other reviews who have written more than just one and those that post their pick and have some info about themselves.  A little bit more trustworthy than some inconspicuous hidden writer who's only review on Yelp was to complain.  Sorry.
  
  For me, I came with unsure expectations and was surprised how good it was actually.
  I would order from them again when I am in the area.
  
  I'm always amazed when I see couples working together in a place like this.  To me, that is something special. Working with the one you love and cooking food that most people enjoy.
  
  There are a lot of regular customers here.  That should speak for itself than some random writer who doesn't really Yelp unless it's to rant.  I don't have much respect for those who use this platform to simply rant something they didn't like.
  
  There are other places for that.
  
  I hope you do enjoy a meal here. If you did or even didn't, please tell me what was good or bad about it. I'm always curious how others experiences are when it comes to something so personal with tastebuds and culture as food.

  We've been going here, steps away from McDonalds, for years -- fresh cooked as you watch, delicious beef (or chicken or salmon if you like) patties with a variety of toppings including jalapeno, and great hot dogs for the kids.  If your appetite is a bit smaller, order the "junior" burger which is still sumptuous.  Juicy and delicious every time, this "mom and pop" corner of the market is terrific -- certainly the best in Lower Lonsdale.  And they even do a good breakfast.
