Jake SmithMarch 19, 2014Try some of the Canteen's "Originals," like the Sweet Potato Fries and the Bacon and Egg Cheeseburger (which is excellent). On the burger, go for a double if you've got a large appetite.
DensJune 11, 2012Looks further from the map, but prob < 10 mins from 95 or Merritt. Don't snooze on the Mac & Cheese bites, but try something *besides* the Bison Burger and lemme now know how it goes.
Devin BrooksSeptember 10, 2013This place is just awesome. Their angus burger, fish sandwich, chili dog, fried zucchini, clam chowder, and finally their deep fried brownies are AMAZING. Open late too which is awesome. Five stars
Darnell GrahamNovember 24, 2014Their chili dogs are amazing, but really hot so if you're not a fan of spicy, I'd recommend the bacon egg and cheeseburger
Karl With A "K"April 7, 2013Chili dog and Mac and cheese bites are awesome! Beware, the chili is spicy so you might want to order a drink as well.
FeFeAugust 11, 2012The best hot chili in the world!! I normally get the chili dog topped with cole slaw. While my honey gets the bacon egg cheese burger.
Charles LupoAugust 25, 2016Classic burgers and dogs as well as other modern short order cooked foods. Been a patron since I was a kid and it was Ray and Yahoo!
It never disappoints!! Be it burgers, hot dogs or my personal favorite: the red hots! Beware of the chilli, it is really, really hot!
Fabricio NunesFebruary 15, 2017Solid grease spoon...classic burgers n fries (chili is not that spicy!) joint. Food was good but nothing blew me away...gotta try a brutal dog next time.

Richie BonaparteAugust 23, 2013Food was great the chili dog was awesome... Mac n cheese bites ehh... but everything was fantastic!
Taylor WebbOctober 4, 2014Bacon egg and cheese burger is soooo delicious. The fried Oreos are amazing.- Tyler MurphyJune 24, 2013Cheeseburger melts in your mouth, as do the Mac and Cheese Bites. Certainly worth the trip!
Their New England Clam Chowder is probably the best I've ever had. And their chicken sandwich is very tasty :D
Chili is very spicy and makes the best chili dog I've ever had! Crab cakes are surprisingly good, worth a try
Merritt Canteen serves you great food. They can make you breakfast for dinner or lunch for breakfast.
Lauren DolyakFebruary 16, 2012The food's good & it's a landmark, but the chili is NOT hot by any means. You want it 'hot', try Kuhn's chili. :D
Demia WilburnMay 3, 2015Try the onion rings...this place mightbe good after a late night hanging out.- DJ SlashJanuary 20, 2012This place is amazing. Ordered the bison Burger great flavor and the chowder rocks
