Gourmet Meat Hunks

1. The Works Gourmet Burger Bistro
I may have just found my new burger love in Toronto. It took a while to find you but you were worth the wait my darling. I'm really worked up for The Works!
The menu here is like a mail-order bride catalogue for hamburgers. What isn't on the menu…More »
2. Big Smoke Burger
Boutique is the word here. The interior has an industrial sheik with local prints on the wall that you can buy for a mere $250. The lighting above the cash desk is recycled high bay covers (warehouse lighting) with some paint on the inside.
The…More »
3. Peters' Drive-In
This is a must visit for Calgary. As a born and raised Calgarian I have spent many nights as a teenager hanging out in their parking lot or waiting a good 20 minutes in their drive-through. The food is good, though not fantastic, but the milkshakes…More »
4. Burger Inn
Always a good burger to be had here. And it's one of te original place in Calgary to get a choice of meat other than beef. You wan bison, or ostrich, or fish then this is your place.
5. Bamburger
Toronto, ON M4S 2A5
(416) 487-2420
Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant and Davisville
These guys gave me a little shock and awe, but not in a way to give them 5 stars.
Shock: The bamburger is only $7.95 for a 1/3 lb hunk of meat
Awe: It only comes with lettuce, onion, and tomato
Shock: It costs $1.25 for some garlic mayo
Awe: They give…More »

Burgers
Neighbourhood: Mission Valley
Hello Beautiful!
I popped my Smashburger cherry here on a wonderful sunny Sunday afternoon in September. It was busy, the line was to the door, but it was worth it. While my friends, being from SD, were a little conservative with their orders, I…More »
7. Alley Burger
The stars finally aligned so I could give these guys a try on my most recent trip back to Calgary.
(Un?)fortunately it happened to be the day that Eat Street was filming them. The weather was cold and rainy and with the extra publicity the line ended…More »
8. Holy Chuck
Toronto, ON M4T 1Y7
Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park
These burgers are chucking good!
I'll admit that I was rubbed the wrong way a little at first exposure to these guys. When they first opened there was a ton of biased (now filtered) reviews popping up and my first attempt to actually visit them a few…More »
9. Zet's Express Premium Burgers
Just down the road from their original location, Zet's has opened a second express location. I happened to be driving by and popped in for lunch. When I asked at the counter when they opened, they said yesterday! Good timing on my part.
Everything is…More »
10. Acme Burger Company
I put Acme a cut above your typical fast food joint, but not as good as boutique places like Craft Burger. This is really a 3.5 star review but I'll give them a bump up because the service was good.
They have lots of great toppings including their…More »
11. Gourmet Burger
I changed it up today and got the chicken burger. Its nice to see things like avocado, mushrooms, and carmelized onions as part of the topping list and not an extra charge. The place is small with only a few tables and clearly we had just missed…More »
12. Apache Burgers
Etobicoke, ON M9B 1A7
(416) 233-3046
I can see why this place is an institution in Toronto but its still not the most fantastic burger by any means. The onion rings are hand dipped but you may want to share an order of them, there is soooo much batter that you can feel your arteries…More »
13. Zet's Restaurant
Welcome to old school burger shop meets Greek restaurant. You can get a burger or souvlaki and more. The burger patties are the cheap, frozen variety and the buns fall apart while your eating. A plus for these guys is that they have lots of…More »
14. Crazee Burger
San Diego, CA 92104
USA

Categories:
Burgers,
Dive Bars,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: North Park
For the hype its been getting it wasn't that impressive. Between the Ostrich, Alligator, Kangaroo, and Brie burgers we all tried, the only one that was worth it was the Brie burger.
The interior is drab and its a little confusing when you walk in.…More »
15. Oh Boy Burger Market - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M5V 2B6
(416) 361-6154
Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Queen Street West
So after sending my original review to Oh Boy!, Joey the proprietor of Oh Boy! emailed me and asked me to come by and he would buy me a burger and a beer. Of course I brought Kat F. with me so she could ge the low-down on this place too.
Joey's a…More »

16. Retro Burger - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M4T 1Y5

Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park
So straight up, this place is better than the big fast food guys but not as good as the gourmet places like Craft, Hero, or Oh Boy.
The prices are very reasonable with a combo eating your wallet for a mere $6-10. The menu is quite diverse with a range…More »
