“Do yourself a favour and get the maple bacon onion smash burger, and make it a double! Incredible flavour, and the smash burgers were perfectly crispy around the edges, and basically melt in your mouth.
Service was also top-notch! Friendly and fast (even though everything was made fresh) - we waited only 15 minutes for two burgers and an order of fries. We’ll definitely be back again!“

“Got the beef brisket burger with fries and their in-house Slayer Lager. About $25 out the door. A cute little robot brang the food to my table. The brisket was thick, juicy, tender and pulled apart like butter. It was so fulling I could not eat all the fries. The fries came with house-made chipotle sauce and it was de-licious. Well worth the price.“

Our guests kept asking us where the delicious gyros was from. Skara! I would highly recommend Skara for your catering needs. I will definitely continue to use them. #bestgyros #skaracatering #catering #partyfood“

“The food was great. I dined in here with a couple of friends around 9 and there was plenty of seating and parking. I got the gladiator burger with an extra patty, mushrooms, extra cheese, a fried egg, grilled cheese buns, and bacon. We also got a poutine to go with our meal. The cashier was very friendly, opting me to modify that burger (Gladiator) because they don't sell the General Maximus anymore. The price came out to $37.30 for that and a canned coke. The price is reasonable, I've definitely been charged more for similar servings at different restaurants. I am happy with the experience.“

“Super friendly staff and great food!“

“In one word...delicious The sad part.... difficult to find a parking“

“My husband and I were on our honeymoon last week and decided to try The Burgers Priest. We were so blessed to be served by a man named Steven. Not only was he super friendly and patient while we tried to decide what we wanted...but once he found out we were on our honeymoon he went out of his way to make us feel at home. He was happy to hear that people are still willing to take honeymoons and to see true love. I swear he was the friendliest person we met and he blessed us so much this visit. Anyone who is served by him is a lucky person :) keep it up Steven! The world needs more people like you!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had an amazing experience at A&W in the Eaton Centre food court! Manpreet Kaur gave me the best service — she was friendly, quick, and made sure my order was perfect. It’s rare to see such a positive attitude and genuine care in a busy food court, but she made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Thank you, Manpreet, for your excellent service! 👏“

“Friendly service. Good food. Can smell the old grease, though.
---
EDIT: Sadly, after getting home with the food, we discovered that one of the burgers did not get the extra pickles we requested, and the fries were pretty much all the wimpy little ends after eating the top layer of full-sized fries. That's just not cool.

Next time, I'll listen to my nose.“

“Great Service & Budget-Friendly Prices!
Had a lovely experience at this restaurant. The service was really good—staff were friendly and attentive throughout. The food was tasty and, best of all, very reasonably priced. A great spot if you're looking for quality meals on a budget. Will definitely visit again!“

“Great chicken wings and having a pool table is a great addon will defiently be back“

“Just had a great experience eating at the new Burger’s Priest in Pickering @ Pickering Town Centre! Great food, great service on their busy soft openings. You’ll definitely see me again!“

“I had a fantastic dining experience at this Harvey's thanks to Anjali and Komal. Their warm service and great menu recommendations made our meal truly enjoyable. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. I highly recommend visiting this location and experiencing the excellent service from Anjali and Komal!“

“Was hyped up quite a bit by a friend of mine but definitely did not disappoint. The side of curly fries for the combo was enough to share between two, especially if you’re both getting doubles. The burgers themselves were super well done, great crust and the an insanely satisfying bite. The service was also great, we went on a Saturday and both ladies at the front of house were friendly, kind and accommodating.“

“Firefly Burger Toronto absolutely exceeded my expectations. From the moment you walk in, the vibe feels modern yet welcoming, and the staff greet you with genuine warmth. But the real magic starts with the food.

The burgers are on another level … juicy, perfectly cooked patties loaded with fresh toppings that burst with flavour in every bite. The Firefly sauce is addictive, striking the perfect balance of tangy and savory, while the Kamikaze Burger takes things up a notch with a bold, fiery kick for spice lovers. The buns are soft but hold everything together, and you can taste the quality of the ingredients.

The portions are generous, the presentation is sharp, and every burger feels crafted with care rather than rushed out. Fries and sides come hot, crispy, and seasoned just right … the perfect companion to the main star.

Toronto has no shortage of burger spots, but Firefly sets itself apart by combining premium taste, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere. Whether you’re a classic burger fan or looking to try something creative and daring, this place delivers.

Highly recommended & easily one of the best burger experiences in the city!“

“The food is very fresh with real meat and lots of fresh veggies. They even sell vegan burgers, Lightlife Burgers overall experience, excellent. 5 0ut 5“

“It's a great place, I think it's maybe some dollars above for what they offer, but the sizes are convenient.“

“Tasty burger gluten free bun was descent. Have yet to find an awesome GF bun.“

“I’m a vegan visiting Toronto and dropped by Soy Boys on my last night in town. I ordered their single cheeseburger with waffle fries. Wow. That was a good vegan burger. Now I wish I’d visited the restaurant on my first night as I’m not sure I’d have ordered from many other places.“

“Delicious food!!! Must try…“

“Harvey’s is hands-down the best spot for lunch! The food is always fresh and delicious, but what really makes this location stand out is the amazing staff. Everyone who works here is so kind, friendly, and welcoming—it truly makes the whole experience better every time I visit.“

“This is an extraordinary, authentic charbroiled burger experience. This establishment has some of the best burgers and steak sandwiches I have had the pleasure of eating and the staff keep prices incredibly fair.

I woukd highly recommend Johnny's to anyone who would listen.“

“Honestly, the best burger in the city. They took a little dip in quality for awhile but they have come back STRONG. Haven’t been able to stay away from the Baby Crudy for about a year now 🔥🔥 So good. A bench to eat would be nice though.“

“10/10 drive-thru experience. Wish I remembered to grab the name of the wonderful lady, she was funny, in good spirits, and easily understanding of everything requested. Will be back and asking for the name of the lady to ensure she gets the recognition as the iconic figure she is“

“I visited Kathy's Grill for the first time a few days ago after having lived in the neighbourhood for the past year. Had I ventured in earlier instead of over patronizing my local Timmy's, KFC, Harvey's etc then I would have discovered the best chicken souvlaki dinner that I've ever had.“

“We enjoyed our meal but ... a bit too much salt on my burger. And just two very thin onion slices! But yes, I'd return. Our server was very nice.“

“This was the best juicy burger I have ever had in the heart of Kensington Market. Nothing else compares to their delicious hamburger. Great, ambience, staff who were so friendly. I can't wait to come back!“

“The sousis bandari is absolutely delicious! 👌🏻“

“This place is generous and delicious.“

“Its was first time i visited this restaurant its quite good as compared to other restaurants of same chain khushpreet took my order she was quite helping and give us guys a fabulous customer service will sure visit this place again food was fresh and was cooked properly as pee our instructions“

“This is easily the best fast food spot downtown for me. The food is always hot and fresh, not like other places serving cold fries that’ve been sitting around and charge $16 for a combo

Prices are good compared to other fast food joints, but what keeps me coming back is how clean they are and how serious they are about food safety.

They wash their hands a lot, which I notice since I’m super germ-conscious. Only one time, I had to call out a guy who handled cash and then started packing food without washing his hands after. It seemed weird because I’d seen him wash his hands a few times before and after using the POS (no cash) while I was waiting to order.

Anyway, please keep up the hand-washing; it really stands out and matters to people like me who’ll ditch a place over one cross-contamination issue.

The workers are also nice and polite. This location is great and other franchises could learn a thing or two from them. 👍🏼“

“Amazing Interesting burger choices were so yummy and huge.“

“I'm genuinely so impressed with the service at this location. Ali's service was phenomenal. He chatted with me about my day and was extremely friendly. The food Zain cooked was good as you can ask for late after a long day. I don't usually leave reviews, but I'm more than happy to oblige for their outstanding service“

“I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with the incredible food we ordered from John Anderson for our recent school function.

The meal was nothing short of amazing! Each dish showcased Greek flavors, and I must say, it was probably the best Greek food I have ever tasted. The portions were incredibly generous, which was perfect for our gathering.

Additionally, I would like to highlight how friendly and accommodating Tom, the owner, was throughout the process. His warm demeanor made our experience even more enjoyable.

I highly recommend John Anderson for any event or gathering. You won't be disappointed!“

“Nice atmosphere, excellent service and delicious food.“

“Hands down the BEST Burger in the city. Whenever I get the urge for a berg its hard to top my own,, A big pain in the arse. BUT no more!! Because Yonge Burger is is the best of the best Burg's in Toronto! French fries, onion rings are delicious too. Also, you can't beat the price. Also Quality & Service is outstanding.“

“You know how you get that good crust on a properly made smash burger? They know and they do it right. You have to wait a bit because these aren't fast food burgers but it's worth it. If you don't have time to wait because of lunch break limitations then order ahead on Uber eats or skip for pickup.“

“Very nice staff , they made this night memorable with writing Persian and nice sentences .“

“We discovered this amazing place at the Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.

I LOOOOOOVE spicy food and I got the Tennessee tenders (Bad Blood Version).

DAMN, they were simply AMAZING.

The first bite was sooooo spicy and then my mouth got used to it and it was the tastiest tenders I ever had.

Finally a restaurant who’s serving tender tenders not dried tenders.

The chicken was juicy and flavourful and the fried buttermilk was crispy and savoury.

I definitely had to really well licked my fingers to not get any sauce somewhere else on my skin later on.

Absolutely no BAD BLOOD against them.
It was delicious.

Thanks for this great discovery.“

“My favourite burgers in town! The House Burger is so good and the onion rings are the best. They're open late so it's the perfect place to have a bite on a patio in the summer. Elias and the staff are always friendly. Great neighbourhood spot.“

“Visted Mama's boys burgers for dinner and highly recommend! Cozy, family-owned restaurant with old-school vibes and delicious food. We had the mama's specialty burgers (of course), poutine, onion rings and milkshakes. Everything was so flavourful, well cooked and hit the spot. Highly recommend!“

“Fantastic experience! Friendly staff, quick service, very clean and the food was amazing. A traditional, family owned burger joint with delicious food. Support these folks -- they're local, not a chain, and offer old-fashioned menu favorites.“

“used them for a company picnic and they are amazing!! the best burger and chicken burger! brisket was melt in your mouth! so tasty! David and his staff were easy to work with. friendly and so accommodating. Highly recommend Fearless meats!“
