The server was really sweet and the food came out super fast! I got the smash burger and added cheese and bacon, it was delicious. Really filling and it hit the spot. My Caeser was good too. Thanks guys! (The service was so fast we were in and out within like 20 minutes!!!!!!!) Edit: it's been a week and I can't stop thinking about this burger Edit #2: the inital review was posted summer of 2023, I returned again summer of 2024 to enjoy the smash burger once again and was thrilled and delighted to find it is just as life changing as it was the first time. Edit #3: June 2025 I'm back in North Bay and that means my long awaited yearly dining experience at the Crown and Beaver is here! I'm am happy but not surprised to say that once again, they have exceeded my expectations and left me absolutely delighted. I had the good fortune to get to C&B last night for dinner and decided to get something new. Their smash burger is absolute perfection but my curiosity got the better of me. I ordered their soup of the day (potato bacon) and for the main, mac and cheese add bacon. Boy let me tell you. The potato bacon soup was a magical experience. Topped with scallions and scallion oil, with some seasonings I couldn't confidently identify, the blended soup was rich, smokey, homey, cozy, and healing. It set something right inside my soul. Not your average potato bacon soup. 12/10. The mac and cheese was stunning as well. It was very hot out of the oven, the cheese nicely crisped on top. The sauce was a cheesy/buffalo type sauce which was a really refreshing change of pace from the usual. There was a crisp and light coleslaw topped with onion, roasted garlic, and roasted corn which was delicious and a nice reprieve from the hot mac and cheese. This dish is dangerous because it was very hot but I simply couldn't stop eating it because it was so delicious. I didn't burn my tongue but it's a little tender. 8.5/10. For dessert I got the funnel cake fries dusted with icing sugar which came with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream drizzled with honey. Absolutely no notes, the fries were perfectly cooked, great flavour, and the ice cream and honey was the perfect pairing. 10/10. And of course I must mention our server Mia was an absolute sweetheart 11/10 service. See you guys again next year!
