Turtle Jack's Muskoka Grill in Burlington

Last Friday, during the crazy snow storm, and late at night (9:30), we happened on the restaurant Turtle Jack's. Of course, not many people were as crazy as us to be out in that weather, so the place was practically deserted.
I generally like the atmosphere of this chain. It's lots of wooden beams, pictures of up north. There is a nice bar area with lots of tvs tuned in to different sports. We were very quickly seated at a booth and given menus. There is a fair amount to choose from, though it's mostly burgers, sandwiches, and that type of food. I ordered the steak sandwich even though I was a little skeptical of how it would turn out. It did take us a while to order the food, which was odd since there was hardly anyone else in the restaurant. After we had ordered, it took about 10 minutes for our waitress to come back and tell us that the soup one of my party members had ordered was no longer available. That information should have been given to us right away, not 10 minutes after you order!
The steak sandwich was great. Cooked just the way I liked it. The side cesear was also pretty good and after that we didn't have any more service problems.
