I have been frequenting this particular Burger Baron for about 4 years now and every visit I am amazed how good everything is. I have tried almost the entire menu and there is few things that I haven't loved. But my favorite is a double cheese burger with bacon. The amount of bacon that is put on shocked me the first time I ordered it. I was use to the standard two thin dry strips from most of the major franchises, but there was enough bacon to almost make a 3rd patty. The owner Mark is one of the nicest people I have met and is always friendly and accommodating. The building is a tad run down which can dissuade some customers but the interior is spotless. I remember my first time eating in and I could see my face from across the counter in the stainless steel shelving on the back wall! I think that its awesome that we still have little local places to grab a burger at that there is still care put into a customers experience. If you prefer not to indulge often, but if you do choose to, make Burger Baron your first stop. It will taste amazing, completely fix your craving and do it for a great price.

I love the Burger Baron. It's an Alberta legend that I'm glad is kept alive. They're an old standby that the locals know. I still think they should revive the old drive ins. Their mushroom burgers are the best thing ever. I know at this location you can grab a menu and call your order in and they'll have it ready at the window when you arrive. They're always friendly and rarely really busy. I've never had a greasy burger from here. Did you know they serve Tater Tots? I'm not a fan but their side dishes are way different and more interesting than any other drive thru. I usually grab a small order of corn fritters with my mushroom burger and once in awhile indulge in a shake - depending what time it is. They stop serving shakes a couple hours before close. Maybe one of these days I'll try something new on the menu but that mushroom burger is so good I haven't been able to stray.
Just a note - this chain is NOT affiliated with the American Burger Baron. This one was founded in 1957 in Lethbridge, AB. -

I drove by Burger Baron 500 times before I actually decided to stop and eat here. They look like old, run-down drive-thrus where girls in roller skates used to serve you. It's hard to tell if they're even open and functioning. If you ever have a fast-food fix, Burger Baron isn't as good as your New York Fries or Lux Burgers, but it's cheap, greasy and good. I ordered poutine and a strawberry milkshake and was comatose for the rest of the day. It was good. Too good. And cheap. I understand why there are so many obese people in North America. McDonald's is only a fraction of the problem. Burger Barons in Edmonton are open, alive and well in Edmonton, even if it doesn't look like it. They obviously do well enough to still exist, but be prepared to cut calories the next day or too many royal trips will go straight to your hips.

The majority of Burger Baron locations throughout Edmonton look old and run-down, to put it mildly. It never occurred to me to dine here, but some things have to be done in the name of research, and so during one of our car trips, my husband and I approached Burger Baron's drive-through window. I am not a huge fan of burgers, but aren't they what this eatery is famous for? Since there was no line at the drive-through, we took our sweet time deciding which burger to go for, and so we ordered a mushroom one, accompanied by French fries, onion rings and a milkshake. To our surprise, the burger was delicious! Beef patty in mushroom burger was thin yet juicy, and the burger was very satisfying. Fries were crispy, but lacked saltiness. Onion rings were crispy but somewhat bland.
I am sure I won't be visiting Burger Baron any time soon simply because I stay away from fast food. However, it's nice that our town has a fast food restaurant that is a great alternative to Wendy's, McDonalds and Burger Kings. I would much rather see a lot more knights with a shield and a sword then the famous golden arches.
