What people say, in short
Canard is known for its steamed bun sliders, a White Castle-style burger, and many commenters recommend them. One calls them an elevated take on fast-food burgers, one excellent, and one a good-value item with good fries. Not everyone agrees: one found them too sweet and not much like White Castle apart from size, one called the food bad and overpriced, one says it does its own style well but calls the result bad, and one says it is good but not the greasy dive meal they wanted.
