    The lines are often long and places to sit are few and far between. The food is great and worth the wait. Try the CNE exclusive stuff and don't settle for the fast food chains - you won't regret it!

    2014: The Dutch Fries with spicy mayo is exceptional! Don't take my word for it - at the front they have a sampler and you can try all their sauces (6 different types) and chose for yourself.

    Take your time to find the right food for the average price! This place is constantly packed. Go really early or really late to avoid the crowds. And always everything overpriced!

    Ice cream sammies. Excellent choice. The waffle sammie won't melt quickly so go for it.

    Make sure to grab a deep fried pickle. For only $4.50 it is the most delicious deep fried snack option.

    Lots of variety but unorganized. Very packed during the CNE. Prices are not that bad though.

    DO NOT get the meatball spagetti at the Primo booth. $2 more than the standard one and we literally got two meatballs. What a rip-off!
