5.0 star rating
  Update - 10/3/2010

Utopia's still got it. Stopped here on an overcast Saturday afternoon to grab a late lunch and I was thoroughly satisfied by the Utopian experience. Our server picked up on my reluctance to grab a beer, and adroitly suggested a Caesar. Yes! Because I…More »

    Great Grill on College.  Their burgers are mouth-watering.  Their veggie burger is one of the best… Read more »

 2. The Burger's Priest

Category: Burgers

Neighbourhood: Upper Beach

4.0 star rating
  Update - 6/11/2011

I returned to pray at the Holy altar of meat. Instead of The Priest however, I went for a more modest "cheeseburger". Still took about twelve minutes, and I left stinking like a deep fryer (there is literally oil mist in the air here), but that…More »

Because you will be confused: Hrvati is located just north of the intersection of Bloor street and Euclid avenue. Look for the round illuminated sign out front. It was a useful herald when my Dining Companion (DC) and I were struggling to find the…More »

Neighbourhood: Kensington Market

Contrary to some of the winds that blow, I rather enjoyed my burger at Burger Bar. It was perfectly juicy and slathered with bleu cheese -- just the way I like it. I shared the Saag Poutine (a must) with my date and we left quite satisfied -- and a…More »

Big Smoke Burger used to be known as Craft Burger. It turns out they didn't officially own the rights to "Craft Burger," and to play it safe they decided to change the name to a trademark they could secure. You'll note that nothing has really changed…More »

Y'all know when you're the club and this fly-looking honey comes up to you, and you're like, "damn girl," because she's beautiful and by some miraculous alignment of the stars, she sticks around long enough for you to sidle up to her and then she…More »

I was actually in the mood for something less-burgerish when I happened upon this lime-green monster in Kensington. "Craft. Fat. Burger," I remember reading out loud. What the mustard? Despite my better instincts, I strolled in.

This relatively large…More »

Here comes yet another player in the ever thickening Toronto burger market. Just south of Yonge and St. Clair on the west side of Yonge, Retro Burger is a fast-food style burger shop that's so orange, nothing rhymes with it.

Their menu offers 5oz beef…More »

Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core

2.0 star rating
  Update - 2/25/2011

Everything about my subsequent visit to this place was stunningly disappointing. It was downright comical actually. They were still honouring their $2 burger deal, so I couldn't resist. Late on a weeknight however, the service apparently goes down a…More »

Contrary to their nomenclature, the Fuel House does not sell petrochemicals. But it is indeed a house that serves drinks and casual meals. It's right by the corner of College and Clinton in Little Italy.

The restaurant itself is fairly intimate, so…More »
