Staff at cashier wasnt really welcoming and gives I dont wanna work kind of vibe. Ordered two rosies burger and onion ring, fries and banana pudding. Burger was a bit pricey for taste. It was a bit blend nothing special but onion rings are so crunchy and delicious. Might go back for onion rings and banana pudding but not for burger.

Visiting from NYC and tried Rosie's for the first time. I thought the burger was delicious. However, I found the poutine to be too salty and with unconventional crinkle fries. The star of the show was the banana pudding. It is light years better than the famous Magnolia banana pudding and even better than any banana pudding I've had in the South and I work as a consultant in almost every state. It's easily the best I've ever had. It's not just the graham cracker crumble that they put on top but the actual pudding is just deep flavored and not too sweet. The crumble is also exceptionally good tasting. The hype is real around the banana pudding.

TOP NOTCH hamburger. The Rosie is exactly what I was craving. The restaurant is clean and the staff are great. 11/10, can't wait to try the rest of the menu.
I definitely understand the hype around the banana pudding. We also got the cocoa crumble (seasonal) pudding along with the classic banana. The cocoa crumble was tasty and rich b/c of the chocolate ganache. But there was something about the banana pudding that reminded me of a childhood memory. It just makes you feel warm & fuzzy. A must visit for this exact reason.

Rosie’s Burgers is often mentioned in conversations about Toronto’s best smash burgers, so I decided to give it another try—this being my second visit, nearly three years apart. My first experience was memorable for one reason: the burger was so unmemorable. Sadly, this second visit left me with the same impression. If anything, Rosie’s is consistent—consistently underwhelming.
That being said, I’ll give credit where it’s due. Rosie’s gets several elements right. The pickles are flavorful, the shredded iceberg lettuce adds a crisp, fresh texture (in my opinion, the best choice for smash burgers), and the bun—which I believe to be a toasted potato bun—offers a soft yet sturdy base. These ingredients certainly help elevate a burger. However, they are just supporting players. What truly makes or breaks a smash burger is the patty, the seasoning, and the sauce, and this is where Rosie’s struggles.
The beef patty is bland and underseasoned. While the smashing technique itself is solid, yielding a decent crust and reasonable juiciness, the flavor just isn’t there. A smash burger is meant to pack a punch with bold, beefy flavors, but this patty lacks depth. Perhaps a fattier beef blend or simply a heavier hand with the salt could go a long way in addressing this issue.
The sauce, unfortunately, doesn’t save the burger either. It tastes like a generic mix of mayo and ketchup, with possibly a hint of mustard or other spices, though it’s difficult to tell. Regardless, it’s forgettable and lacks the tang or complexity that a good burger sauce should bring to the table.
In summary, Rosie’s Burgers gets a 3.5/5 —it’s perfectly passable. If you’re in the area and craving a burger, it’ll do. But it’s not a place I’d go out of my way to visit, and it certainly doesn’t deserve to be in the conversation for the best burgers in Toronto. To truly earn its spot in that discussion, Rosie’s needs to focus on the fundamentals: a more flavorful patty and a standout sauce. Until then, it’s just another burger joint.
