    So a bit of a misleading name as there is no longer a charcoal pit there. Rather, meat is cooked on the gas grill. However, there's not ethical issue as that's the name they had when they opened 50 years ago - so I can't blame them for not changing it.

    The menu is effectively, burgers, hot dogs, fries, poutine and pita/souvlaki type items. We went with the chicken souvlaki combo with fries. Both the fresh cut fries and meat was cooked to order. Pretty simple, but as the saying goes "good food makes good food". Perfectly cooked chicken with a nice char that was well-seasoned in advance. The tzaziki was authentic and went well in the wrap with lettuce, tomato and the grilled onions available at no extra charge. Fresh-cut fries are always a win. Similar tasting to the fries at Swiss Chalet.

    Seems like a place that you can't really go wrong with if you're in the mood for this type of thing, and good location right off the lake.

    I got a Greek souvlaki pita wrap. This place is conjoined with a convenience store. It looked like a takeout place but also has some old fashioned seats....its located downtown Burlington on Lake shore and James close to Brant street.
    The fries were thick and the chicken tasted very good.

    I tried the super burger.  And they weren't lying lol...it was one SUPER Burger alright,    and the thing is.....it wasn't just BIG...IT WAS DELICIOUS!!!! Definitely not cheap with the fries...and they were awesome as well. If you haven't tried Charcoal Pit get down there ASAP. You won't be disappointed.
