I was traveling to Toronto to see the Hot Docs festival and between two films I was a little hungry. not wanting to pay $11 for popcorn I decide to stop by this restaurant to order a double smash melt burger. total: $18!!!! but oh my. that burger was criminally good. the meat was juicy and the bacon crispy. the cheese was melty and the bread soft. Is it worth eating this for $18? yes but I think it’s a one spot to try without necessarily coming there regularly

Gotta be the best burger I've ever had. Thin, unique, chef-prepared tasting patties. Very much unlike those in the typical burger joint. Longer wait to prepare worth it.

First of all, big shout out to Maddie. She was so helpful over the phone and answered my questions kindly.I love the fact that they are halal and gluten-free. But if you want to adjust your order like removing an item, you can't leave a request while ordering through apps. I was told that I can't do that unless I order from their website. (They also offer delivery, apparently. And it comes cheaper.) So, my request got refused at first. But then, somehow, I realized that they did it. So, thank you.Everything was alright. I liked their gluten-free bun a lot. It's so soft and tastes nice. But all the burgers were lacking flavors somehow. I don't know why. Maybe the sauces are not strong enough, or maybe the problem is with the ingredients. But I might come back since they are both halal&gluten-free (depending on the item, but they have quite some options). However, the prices are so expensive for overall performance.

I saw a tiktok about burger and fries forever's gluten-free chicken sandwich.I live two hours away, but I was in the city, and I was so excited to try it, but I left a little disappointed.The gluten-free chicken was delicious ?But it's served on a regular bun that kind of defeats the purpose.It says gluten-free on menus they don't tell you the bun isn't GF.I'm Cecilia, so I double-checked because I know eating out is risky, and thank goodness I did.I had to pay an extra $6.50 more for gluten-free bun after I had already paid for my meal.The manager I talked to was very polite and said they are going to fix this issue.

These aren't the prettiest photos but I was in the area and decided to give them a go for my luncheonI chose the shrooms burger and the melt Burger. Wow.The shrooms burger was loaded with mushrooms cheese and that aioli. It was leaking out and I had to slurp it all up haha it's so goodThe melt Burger had thick delicious bacon on it and was super flavorful. My coworker ended up stealing half my burger. The bugger. But it was so tasty I understand why he couldn't have just one bite .Great prices and a craft beer menu on the wall. Nice tunes and ambiance.Parking: Parking in the area sucks.

I found this place on a random walk around queen west. I had the picante burger and the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. Both were delicious and highly recommended. The Picante patty is a smash style patty (but not too lacy edgy!) with a very nice crust. The bun was soft, the jalapenos pickled and the sauce very flavourful. The Nashville hot was just the right amount of heat and the chicken thigh incredibly crunchy. The coleslaw was very nice and I wished there was a bit more on the burger. The only point deducted from this place is that they need better ventilation as several other reviewers have pointed out. It is incredibly smoky inside and folks with smell sensitivity or breathing difficulty may have issues sitting inside. There are a bunch of tables just outside for better weather eating.

Highly disappointing! The food was mediocre and to add insult to injury, they lacked basic utensils, leaving us to wait 10 minutes just to get a fork. The tables were dirty, and it seemed the employees couldn't care less about cleaning them between customers. Overall, the service was rude and the food mediocre.

Good burger in general. Not smashed that thin, not juicy so I put my poutine in the burger and that was gas.

Food and service was great. Although the place could use a lot more ventilation. It gets really greasy and smoky in there.

Hands down one of the best spots for halal smash burgers downtown! A great spot to take people when showing them around the city, and the menu is always changing with new types of burgers and fries. Recently I had the birria burger and it was delicious :)

Everything here was amazing. I wish I remembered to take a photo but I was too busy indulging in. The Patty is VERY fresh and tasty. They gave a 25% bigger patty, so big it was tipping out the burger bun. Their sauce is amazing, it’s the cherry on the top. The Fries were properly salted and tasted amazing, they weren’t sagging. The service was very nice and fast. Everything was very clean, good seating and Clean Bathrooms. Plus it’s all halal, I wish I could rate this a 10/5.
