“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.“

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

“Excellent and pleasant counter service. Wait time for our order was reasonable as well. The original burger did not disappoint however we made the mistake of ordering doubles and they were a little too substantial to finish so next time it will be singles. Onion rings stellar and cheesy fries pretty good too. Banana desert was a not bad but I think next time the lemon tart looks like a less rich and sweet option which might be a bit more doable after a single burger. Location is good proximity to Bud stage and Coca Cola coliseum.“

“The sousis bandari is absolutely delicious! 👌🏻“

“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!“

“This was the best burger I think I have ever had sincerely. Ordered a cheese burger but asked for no cheese and it was just incredible. A real burger with a real beef taste. Seasoned but not over seasoned and extremely fresh. Even the lettuce was just perfect and fresh. My husband and I ordered one as a combo so it came with fries and a drink and added a extra burger. The total was 24 with tax. It was more then enough fries to share and the water was large to share . Worth every cent. Absolutely a life time customer was made today. I also love the history behind this business and prayer on the wall. May God bless this business 🙏“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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! 👏“

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

“Delicious food!!! Must try…“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Great friendly staff right from when you walk in. The food is delicious and they definitely are consistent!! And very, very clean. Thank you for your good size portions and great prices.😋“

Cheeze burger and chiken burger were so good. Chiken strips were also unreal
I wish I lived closer so I could get this again. Can’t wait to go back to Toronto for this“

“I’ve walked past the Restaraunt a lot of times before, but decided to try them out yesterday.

Could feel that good vibe the moment I walked in. The people were so kind and I ordered with mama (such a sweet person, she reminded me of my own nanna who I dearly miss).

I ordered a souvlaki dinner. The portions were good enough for a single person. Not too little, not too much - just about right, after a long day’s work. The chicken was rightly done and the bread was good.

The right proportions of the salad and the rice did not make me feel overwhelmed. A problem I’ve always had ordering Greek food from other Restaraunts.

The place was very clean and neatly decorated. Thank you Mama and the team for the amazing food and the kindness you spread around 😊 Totally recommend this place!! 😊“

“The kindest people work here. I ordered for pick up and accidentally placed my order for the Bathurst location because I'm an idiot. The kind person working behind the counter DROVE TO THE BATHURST LOCATION, picked up my order and brought it to me at their Bloor location. SO NICE. And the burger was incredibly delicious! Thank you!“

“This place is generous and delicious.“

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

“Probably the tastiest chicken burger I have EVER had!! The owner was so nice when i asked how spicy the burger was he had us sample the taste. He came by later to ask how we liked it. It was amazing, the place is super beautiful and the chicken was so soft yummy. Found a new gem in Scarborough“

“Had a great burger experience at Rudy's. Me and my friends went to grab just a burger and we ordered the big rudy and banana pudding. Honestly, it was one of the best burgers that I've had in a while. The staff were really cool and very interactive. Would totally recommend this place if u wanna grab a bite.“

“Rudy is truly one of the best burger spots in Toronto. If you’re looking for a properly made burger—juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked with care—this is the place. Skip the big fast-food chains and spend your money here instead. The patties are consistently juicy, the buns are soft but structured, and the balance of flavors is spot on. Simple, honest, and executed extremely well. Rudy never disappoints.“

“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.“

“I go 2 or 3 times a week. The staff are very friendly and professional. I love their chicken wraps and the hamburgers are awesome. Thanks alot!“

“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.“

“Good quality, tasty and generously-sized burger. Onion rings are crispy and addictive. Will definitely reorder from here.“

“The service was fast and friendly. The burgers are amazing! Milkshakes are also very good. Portions are large for the price which was very reasonable. We would definitely eat there again.“

“Came late on a Tuesday night (ordered pick up through Uber). Not only was the food delicious, made to order with special requests actioned accordingly, and incredibly fresh tasting - the staff working were pleasant, efficient, AND went above and beyond by adding a nice note on the food bag and wrapping my drinks with plastic wrap to avoid spillage - which I didn't ask for, but very much appreciated!

I was incredibly impressed all around!“

“Excellent customer service. Whenever I come here, I see the employees engagaging with the customers with highest quality. I think this location is the best A&W in the city. The employees are genuinely kind and they go above and beyond their job. Particularly the young man with glasses who was taking orders today around 4-5 pm. Highly recommended“
