Cactus Club

This was our group’s first foray into a non-burger joint at Cactus Club, headed up by Canada’s one and only Iron Chef Rob Feenie. I had high expectations going in and sometimes that can lead to a let down. The burger came dressed with mushrooms, bacon, cheese and sweet relish. A few of us commented we wouldn’t normally order mushrooms, but we all decided to order it as it was offered on the menu.


In our group, all but one agreed the bun was top quality, holding all the ingredients together. Two of us felt the sweet relish was overpowering and we all agreed the toppings and ingredients were top notch, but with all the toppings, it seemed to overpower the flavor of the beef. If I could do it again, I would have had the sweet relish on the side and I think the burger would have scored much higher. Good crisp fries, but very generic and fast food like, I personally expected higher quality, although I ate them all. We all left the restaurant satisfied, but half of our group felt a little underwhelmed.
