A 'must' stop for a traditional cottaging experience. Webers has been serving up great simple burgers to cottagers for decades. No cottage trip is complete without the experience of standing in long lines to get your hands on a delicious burger and fries (hotdogs and veggie burgers also available). But don't let the long lines fool you, they put the FAST in fast food!
