  The incredible veggie burger with the patty made of perogies was outstanding! So creamy and just the right amount of gooey potatoes! When I took my first bite the patty wanted to slide off but I held it together with my hands and after awhile it just stayed in place. It came with lettuce and tomatoes and a pickle and maybe onions. It was excellent! The St James cinnamon French fries were okay. Not salty and thick enough for my taste buds but the cinnamon did add an appealing and interesting element to them. If only they were a bit chunkier and longer!
  5 stars because it is so far, one of the best veggie burgers I've had in my life.

  +.5 for service
  
  I honestly found it a hit and miss. The stuff they do good, it's really good. What they don't do good, it's...really bad.
  
  The good: Their fries are amazing here, probably one of the best in Winnipeg. They add cinnamon salt as default, but you can immediately request regular salt or no salt if needed...cinnamon salt is definitely an acquired taste I find (none of my friends like it).
  
  The meh: I was also here for fried chicken week and tried their Chipotle BBQ Fried Chicken burger. I honestly wasn't that impressed, the fried batter was a bit tough to eat. At least the chicken was juicy though.
  
  The bad: Went back for poutine week 2019 and tried their perogie poutine. Honestly not one of their best products (apparently their 2018 one was a huge hit here), the perogies were bland and they use shredded cheese, not cheese curds. I don't try and let that be the deciding factor, but the gravy was also sadly disappointing.
  
  I haven't tried their regular burgers yet here. It looked really good though, so perhaps a future visit is in order.
  
  Service is good, and yes the food is slow here. However they warn you beforehand, so please don't give them a hard time for that.

  Tldr version; got time and want a burger feed? Try this place. Highly recommended. Long version follows;
  
  Finally got a chance to get in here. Burger was hot and fresh. Tasted great. I love the egg addition, adds richness to the burger. It doesn't say, but I think they rise maple bacon.
  
  Homemade fries are an awesome touch! But I think they need to buy bigger potatoes s. Mine were like mini fries. Whatever though they were crispy and delicious. Read other reviews about greasy fries and burgers. Not my experience. Maybe it's a time of day  thing? I got there not long after they opened.
  
  Service was great. Super friendly if not overly quick. Nice to see them giving back to their community as well.
  
  Seating inside is limited, which is no fun on  a winter day. Outside seating for the summer looks nice. They make everything to oder, so food is a bit of a wait. Good food takes time.
  
  Going to have to go back for a poutine, since I saw they won Best Poutine 2018!

  I have seen these guys around but, I'll be honest, I was hesitant at first. Anyone that knows the old Red Boot Inn will know the history. A few owners have come in since it was the  Boot and didn't really do it justice. Hence my hesitation. Well, one afternoon a craving for hotdogs hit hard and you know how hard it is to find a good hotdog cart dog (which is what I really wanted) in Winterpeg in December?! I figured ok, let's try these guys out. Uhm, yeah, we've been there at least once a week ever since! I love so many things about this place and these guys.
  
  First off, burgers made with fresh (never frozen) angus beef, fresh veggies and just the right amount of toppings to make it filling and a little sloppy. They are very accommodating with dietary challenges and allergies (no shellfish on site Yay!). I read another review about greasiness but I haven't experienced that. My fries have always been crispy and, oh yeah, the cinnamon salt?!?!?! I know it sounds weird but it's addicting!!! And who knew, chicken burgers with a slice of pineapple tucked in has changed my whole way of thinking about them. The aforementioned hotdogs are made a little different (butterflied in a brioche bun) but I think I like it way better. Again, fresh topping and so so so filling. All burgers come with fries and, for me at least, it's a full meal you will want to have a nap after!
  
  Today I organized a work lunch and they took such great care of us and the multiple orders with varying requests. I asked for a specific time and our food was coming off the grill as I arrived (I was early oops) and still pretty hot when I got back to the office. The team was raving about the food and asking for directions, I probably made them 16 new customers lol
  
  The greatest thing about these guys, I think, is the fact that they are wanting to be a part of the community. They support our troops/veterans and the area schools. They give back to the community and want to keep making St. James the awesome place it is. So try them out, I don't think you will be disappointed. They are super friendly and just want to make sure your experience is awesome. Support them, our troops and our community!!

  The burgers are alright, if they don't take 20-25 minutes to get to you, or aren't charcoal burnt!
  
  I haven't seen a more "popularly disorganized" burger joint in Winnipeg other than this one. The owner schedules 1 person to work lunch rushes and the screw ups they make are hardly worth your money.
  
  Find yourself a burger for less time, money and better quality somewhere else.
