What time do you open and close?

Nine Locks Brewing — Mon–Tue 4–8 PM, Wed–Sat 12–8 PM, Sun 12–7 PM. Bayers Lake — Thu–Fri 11:30 AM–7 PM, Sat 12–7 PM, Sun 12–6 PM, and we're closed there Mon–Wed.

Those are the regular hours at our two home bases. For festivals, events, and wherever else the truck lands this week, check the schedule page.

How do I order — walk up or call ahead?

Walk up to the truck window — that's the whole system. We cook to order, hot off the flat-top, no apps required.

For catering (100+ guests) or large group orders, give us a call so we can prep ahead.

Do you cater weddings, events, and private parties?

Yes — weddings, corporate lunches, festivals, birthdays, private bookings. We've done everything from backyard parties to 400-person company picnics.

Head to the Catering page or call us directly to start a quote. Give us 3–6 weeks notice when you can.

Do you have a gluten-free bun?

Yes — ask for a GF bun at the window, no upcharge. Our smash patties, cheese, and toppings are naturally gluten-free.

Important: our fryers handle both gluten and naturally-GF items, so if you have a severe allergy, please flag it ahead of time. We'll work with you.

Is the menu kid-friendly?

Very. Plain smash burger + hand-cut fries is the go-to. We can leave off pickles or sauce — just ask.

The MACnificent (our double-stacked smash) is also a quiet kid favourite. Spice is never default; it's only on items where it's part of the name.

Can I book the truck for a private event at my venue?

Yes — we travel across HRM and beyond for private events. Backyards, breweries, office parking lots, family farms, we've parked there.

Travel fees depend on distance and date — easiest is a quick call so we can quote you exact.

Where's the menu and how do I see prices?

Full menu lives on the Menu page — every item with a name and an honest description (we use 100% PEI spuds and hand-cut, old-fashioned french fries, in case you were wondering).

Prices vary slightly by event and location, so we keep them at the window where you order.
