Review from Diana D.

This place has a bunch of different types and sizes of sandwiches to choose from. 4-8oz burgers, chicken, salmon, steak, vegetarian, and hot dog sandwiches.
But it doesn't stop there. You can customize your sandwich with 15 toppings and 16 types of condiments. These toppings and condiments isn't your typical ketchup, mustard, onions and lettuce. It's more like brie, avocado, eggplant, chipotle bbq sauce, roasted red pepper sauce, and corn relish, just to name a few. The down side of this was that the toppings ranged from 0.55 to 0.95. But the condiments were free.
What did I have? I had the 8oz Hero Signature Burger combo which included ultimate fries, a drink and red onions and tomatoes on the burger. The wait for the burger was a decent wait for them to make my meal, but not that long where I'm looking at the time. My burger was made perfectly medium rare, just how I like it. Juicy where the juices are coming out but not too messy and ruins the bun of the burger. The fries were crispy and hot with the right amount of salt. The thickness of the fries was not too thick or thin.
I'm definitely coming back again, whenever I'm here, in the good land of maple syrup. -

Uhhh, this is suppose to be a gourmet hamburger place. The hamburger itself was bland, no real true flavor. It gets two stars only because they do have a large variety of condiments to choose from, beyond the typical mayo, mustard, lettuce, etc. Also, the hand-cut fries were really good; but after all those added condiments, the burger still tasted like soft paper - lol. Different, but not a place I would be running back to the next time I'm in Toronto.

For whatever reason -- maybe it is the unhealthy stuff that gives burgers their flavour -- the burgers here are just bland. I still eat here from time to time but I have never craved a hero burger.

Not bad! I had the veggie (Sol patty) burger, on a whole what flatbread with a really tasty Chipotle sauce and assorted toppings. Combo with fries was about $10. Personally, beef is not my thing, but hero claims all of the good stuff with full transparency, hormone & antibiotic free meats. The salmon is labelled wild and alaskan, but there is NO mention of where the chicken or Turkey comes from or the quality of the meat.
There are gluten free burgers for my celiac friends.
The man taking our order must have been management, or at least very well trained. He was excellent at dealing with us, making sure everyone in line got their order started before he rang us through, and even came over to apologize when they (very monumentally) screwed up my order.
Me and the coworkers were all impressed with the quality. Solid Lunch, just give me info on the chicken and I'll be happy. -

What a difference good management makes.
I've been to sit down restaurants that offered worse service than this Hero Burger location that's just opened up at Yonge and Irwin street. We were greeted by the manager, who happened to be standing at the door and he followed us inside to take our order. He was friendly and efficient, taking our orders carefully so that the person he was training could observe what he said and did. He apologized, saying that he was training someone, but far from bugging us, it just highlighted his attention to detail.
The food was actually excellent. We each ordered a veggie burger combo (one with sweet potato fries and one with regular). Malt vinegar was available, a bonus as far as we were concerned. The burgers were delicious - I was especially happy about the high quality sesame bun that had a chewy texture so different from the standard air you get at most fast food places. The fries were also great - sweet potato fries crisp and a good balance of sweet/salt. Regular fries dense with a solid earthy flavour. No doubt about it, we were eating real - not over-processed - food.
There is seating outside that is well maintained and even the bathrooms were clean.
The manager actually came out to check on us in the middle of our meal to see how we were enjoying the food. How often does that happen at a burger place? All in all, A for this location of Hero Burger. We'll be back.
Vegetarian Score: 7/10. There is only one veggie item - the veggie burger - but that's still a sixth of the menu. Plus, the veggie burger is quite good and the toppings are fresh. No complaints here. -

If you have a craving for a fast food burger, please please make it this place. It's obviously can't compare to some of the other gourmet burger places in town, but compared to the major burger chains, Hero blows them away.
They have a decent selection of burger staples and a few odd and quirky burgers like the soy, bison, or turkey. Throw in your choice of bun, condiments and veggies, and you can get a decent fast food burger.
Definitely the type of restaurant I avoid these days, but a quality fast food place considering your other options. -

So this was my first time ever. It was AMAZING but got 4 stars cause it was a bit burnt. Combo signature burger ran me 12-14 dollars can't remember. It was GOOD though :) Fries are so good!!!!

I liked the concept, and on the whole it's not bad, except... ....the MEAT! I felt like it was actually worse than commercial-meat. It just tasted like meat-filler. Sure, the meat is 100% angus, but there is very very little meat in their meat!
I could never go back, I still have this bad taste of fake meat. I would suggest a more honest burger place.
Not good enough.
