I have been a customer of John's since he had West Lynne Burger in the Late 70's early 80's and he always puts out a good product along with some Soup Nazi thrown in!
Burgers are factory made and very popular (very similiar to a Harvey's Burger) but the Steak on a Kaiser is handcut and my personal favourite.
If you are a Hockey fan..well it is literally a hockey Museum and you can even see pictures of Joe Neuwendiuk eating fries and Gravy out of the Stanley cup when he brought it in ...
A Whitby Landmark and always great value :) -
Review from Mr. B.

The food is like my rating, A-OK. The portions are large and I've personally never finished an entire meal... which was $5... Cheese Burger with pickles/mustard/relish/ketchup, fries and a Coke. (I hate not finishing meals tho, so that says something) The environment is okay, if you're a hockey fan, and that is where customer service comes in...
Johnny ("The Burger Nazi"... from what I've been told... several times) is not a very pleasant man to be around or talk to (unless you have hockey gear on, he knows you play hockey, or knows you at all). If you don't have the typical hockey swag or have anything different from a Bauer cap and a Sidney Crosby Reebok shirt, he may just shun you off. *Time to retire?...
Experience: (Back in the day i had long hair and a skateboard in my hand, i was the only person at his counter, i only wanted onion rings and he said i should leave. I've also seen him yell at a little girl for changing her mind from wanting a chicken burger to then wanting a hamburger after the order was filled. She was around 6-7 years old. Disrespectful.)
Choose STARR BURGER if you want a large meal, for a good price, and a free, honest smile. (Down the street, north, passed the railway bridge)
The 3 stars go towards the food, nothing else. -

The food's ok. Nothing extravagant, and with all the other great burger joints around nowadays, its really nothing to write home about. Average, ok taste, etc.
The service though? Completely different story. Johnny (or the likes of that old jerk) has no business working in an industry that requires any form of customer service. I understand that he's been around for a long time and has established a good customer base over the years, etc, but try going into a place that offers great food and even better customer service and is actually welcoming instead of North End where you are treated like dirt just because old Johnny thinks he can (and because he's been allowed to get away with it for all these years). Move over with your piss poor nasty attitude Johnny! Shake Rabble and Roll, and even Pete's Big Bite blow you right out of the water (food-wise, and service-wise). With all the local competitors we have now, an attitude adjustment should be considered. -

Great food! Johnny's North End Burgers is nearly identical to another place in Oshawa called Mr. Burger in terms of their food. Johnny's has great burgers, fries and homemade onion rings. The place is covered in hockey paraphernalia, Johnny screams out when your food is ready and asks you to go behind the counter to get your drinks. Very cool!

I'm SOLD on North End Burgers
Johnny is old school but knows his stuff
Just like the original Harvey's in Toronto
You get it the way you like it
LOW price = get you own drink from the fridge
He yells when it's ready
Loads of Hockey players trivia from Whitby & Oshawa
A must visit when in WHITBY -

Best burger and fries you are going to find. Fantastic service, the owner is the uncle of an NHL hockey player and the stanley cup has been filled with HIS gravy and these fries have been dipped!
