Try some of the Canteen's "Originals," like the Sweet Potato Fries and the Bacon and Egg Cheeseburger (which is excellent). On the burger , go for a double if you've got a large appetite.

Looks further from the map, but prob < 10 mins from 95 or Merritt. Don't snooze on the Mac & Cheese bites , but try something *besides* the Bison Burger and lemme now know how it goes.

Devin Brooks

This place is just awesome. Their angus burger , fish sandwich , chili dog , fried zucchini , clam chowder , and finally their deep fried brownies are AMAZING. Open late too which is awesome. Five stars

Their chili dogs are amazing, but really hot so if you're not a fan of spicy , I'd recommend the bacon egg and cheeseburger

Karl With A "K"

Chili dog and Mac and cheese bites are awesome! Beware, the chili is spicy so you might want to order a drink as well .

Eduardo Mueses

It never disappoints!! Be it burgers , hot dogs or my personal favorite: the red hots! Beware of the chilli , it is really, really hot!

The best hot chili in the world!! I normally get the chili dog topped with cole slaw . While my honey gets the bacon egg cheese burger .

Their New England Clam Chowder is probably the best I've ever had. And their chicken sandwich is very tasty :D

Bacon egg and cheese burger is soooo delicious. The fried Oreos are amazing.

The food's good & it's a landmark , but the chili is NOT hot by any means. You want it 'hot', try Kuhn's chili . :D
