Ganges Street Food - Salt Spring Island

I've had my fair share of poutine and this was by far the WORST. The fries were seasoned well but way over cooked. The gravy was horrible. It was so bad that after 3 bites the whole container was thrown in the garbage. It was a waste of time to wait for it and a waste of $8. Won't ever go back.

Four adults had lunch here and all enjoyed our meals. The french fries are home made and absolutely top notch, easily the equal of the best I've had anywhere. Quite happy with the value versus the price too.

The place has changed somewhat, in that they now serve a variety of stuffed burgers. I went with what I had last time (Lamb Shawarma) to see how it measures up against the old incarnation. OK, not too dry, and they asked how spicy I'd like it. Good on them. Note that this is about a $14 item by the time you add the tax and a little tip (counter service.) Filling, and fresh ingredients. I noticed that the traditional Shawarma vertical rotisserie wasn't in use, and was informed that they pan fry the meat instead. I get that, especially if you aren't selling hundreds of these things daily, but can you still call it Shawarma? However, it was fine. Good sauce too.The one issue that I had with the new regime was with a server who was on lunch obviously (but now finished,) and staring into her phone while there was a small mountain of garbage on my shared table a couple of feet away from me. Note that there are no accessible garbage receptacles in the place, so one of the employees has to come by and pick up all the paper plates, wrappers, etc. So, in the end, it gave a sort of slovenly, unkempt aura to the place. I think it was actually the owner who eventually came by to scoop up all the refuse. Note to owner: You may wish to have a little chat with the employees and their expected duties.

Fantastic burger. Best I have h ad in years. I came back 3 days in a row. Chef Steve is charming, funny and knows what he is doing. His flavor profiles are right on.

New owner (Steve) and great food, never disappoints. I am a local and now this is one of my favourite places in town for cheap eats.
