Our Must-Try Signature Burgers in Thunder Bay
The Classic
Our house-made beef patty with ketchup, mustard, and pickles on a toasted kaiser bun. Simple, juicy, and executed perfectly — the gold standard for a great Thunder Bay burger. Customize it with your favourite cheese or toppings.
The United Burger
House patty seasoned with Caribbean spices, topped with grilled red onion, provolone cheese, Monty's signature burger sauce, lettuce, and tomato. Sweet, smoky, and packed with flavour — a standout favourite for Thunder Bay diners.
The Mac Daddy
A juicy house-made patty loaded with smoky gouda mac ‘n’ cheese and house-made chorizo onion jam. Rich, cheesy, and incredibly satisfying — one of the most indulgent burgers in Thunder Bay.
PB&J Burger
Sweet heat at its best: peanut butter, Sriracha strawberry jam, pickles, and jalapeños on our house patty. Sounds unexpected? It’s one of the most talked-about burgers in Thunder Bay right now.
We also offer excellent Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwiches, including the Mac Mommy (chicken version of the Mac Daddy) and classic buttermilk chicken with garlic aioli.
