" I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Merritt Canteen! The chili cheese fries were simply divine, and I was blown away by the hotdogs, which had that perfect snap with each bite. The onion rings were crispy and flavorful too. The only hiccup was the wait time, which felt a bit long, but it was worth it! I can't wait to come back and try their burgers next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a classic spot! Their burgers are amazing, and I've never had complaint about the service. They’re quick and friendly, and the atmosphere is charmingly retro. Perfect for late-night cravings after a long day, I always leave satisfied! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved this place! The staff was friendly, and my burger was spot on. It's located in a prime spot and can get busy, but the food comes out in a relaxed manner. If you're looking for vintage-style fast food with comfort food vibes, you have to check this place out! " (*Curated Review*)

" A gem of a diner that delivers delicious fast food! I typically order their classic cheeseburger and fries, which never disappoint. The flavor is reminiscent of my childhood visits. One drawback is the atmosphere—it's slightly cramped and offers little in terms of decoration, but it adds to the nostalgia. I can overlook that given how great the food is! This place remains iconic in my book, and I know I will be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great late-night spot! I had a delicious grilled chicken sandwich that was grilled to perfection. The only downside was that the seating was cramped, making it a bit uncomfortable. However, the food quality makes it worth it. I love their late hours—they're open when nothing else is! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I thought this place was overrated. The chili dog I had was fine but not something I would crave. I had to wait longer than expected, and when my food arrived, it was lukewarm. Price-wise, it makes sense given it’s fast food, but I'd rather find somewhere with more consistent quality. I'm not sure if I’ll be back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wish I had a better experience here. The food seemed too greasy, and not in the enjoyment sort—more like just poorly made. I was put off by the service as well; we were forgotten and had to remind them about a drink that was not delivered. Not sure if I will be back again soon. " (*Curated Review*)
