We also had the Reuben and a Brisket poutine. The poutine and rib sandwich were our favourites. Was a little on the pricey side but quality was good. Lots of seating and cool vibes (love the Anthony Bourdain poster) with 90s hip hop music playing. We ordered on the self service machine and they called us to the counter to pick up the food when ready.

I really love the atmosphere they've created which has thoughtful seating, great decor, and a niche, cozy feel. For my first visit, I went with their Smash Burger ($9.95) and upgraded to a double for about $4 more. The pricing is pretty reasonable compared to other smash/gourmet burger places. The burger features dry-aged, house-ground Canadian beef chuck, smashed thin and crispy, topped with cheddar, S&S smash sauce, S&S pickles, caramelized onions, and shredded lettuce on a freshly baked potato roll. The bun isn't the most "pillowy" soft I've had, with a slightly brioche-like top, but still delicious and elevated. The seasoning on the edges was a bit salty for me, but once everything came together with the bun and condiments, it worked well. Simple, classic, and satisfying. Service was friendly, and there's ample parking. They offer online ordering, but I recommend going in person for the full experience and to pick up their stamp card (buy 10 burgers, get one free, and yes, you can redeem it for a double). Next on my list to try: their Montreal smoked meat. A hidden gem and great find.

The service is super quick, and they keep things classic--nothing too out there, just a great bun, perfectly cooked thin patties, cheese, and a tasty sauce. Personally, I love ordering it plain so I can enjoy the pure flavor of the meat with that delicious melted cheese on a soft, toasted bun. Don't forget to check out their house specials! They've got some amazing exclusive burgers like the Mac Jab and tasty chicken bites, with my personal favorite being the honey Dijon sauce. When I go for the regular menu, I can't resist the double burger--after all, double cheese is a must! And I love swapping out the regular onions for that sweet onion jam; it really takes the burger to a whole new level of flavor!

Fresh Burger is literally just that - the freshest (and best) burger I've ever had! I'm from the…read moreUSA, but I don't think I've had a better burger than here in Canada thanks to Fresh Burger. I usually get the Freshburger combo #1, which has cheese and one smash patty, and I ask them to load me up on the veggies. The combo comes with fries and a drink, and I upgrade my fries to the Cali fries- similar to In N Out's animal style fries which include their special sauce, caramelized onions, and cheese (you can also add other toppings too; my fam likes to add the spicy jalapenos and mushrooms). The service is always 10/10; everyone is super nice plus I love that they put each person's order in its own labeled bag! The restaurant is also pretty clean and the ambiance in general is very minimalistic - it's clear that the star of the show is the food! Definitely recommend this place if you're craving a really good burger and fries! (PS. Please bring a location to Michigan )

It's a little more pleasant too when the meal is served up by an enthusiastic owner at this new location. If you're looking for fancier options, you will be disappointed by the back-to-basics. As a bonus though, you can upgrade their combo fries to poutines with a Yelp check-in. Coming here is easier than firing up your own BBQ in the middle of winter. No need to wait for In-N-Out Burger when we have places like this around town.

Superb burgers. I tried their OZ burger which is the basic burger with crispy fried onion string…read more The patty was flavorful and juicy. I also got their Yukon fries which I absolutely loved neither super thin or thick just the perfect cut. I do recommend getting the Z sauce to add on the burger or just eat with the fries, really yum. I do want to try more of their burgers the next time I visit. You can either build a burger or go with their specialty burgers. Do checkout their menu. I came in after I had been hearing about them for sometime and I can say I left happy. If you're looking for a halal option this place has crispy chicken as an option but again pls ask before you order. The overall service was very good. My food came out in timely manner.

Ordering was quick and easy with the self-service kiosks, followed by the classic buzzer and wait with the crowd experience. I got the Avocado Bacon Burger and a Double ShackBurger, along with fries and bacon cheese fries. Seating is limited to the genera food court which can get very packed. The burgers were delicious. The Double ShackBurger was the standout, a classic, juicy smash burger that really hits the spot. The Avocado Bacon Burger was okay, but I didn't find that the avocado and bacon came together particularly well. The fries were probably the weakest part. They were pretty underwhelming, and considering there aren't really any discounted combo options, I don't think I'd order fries again. The bacon cheese fries were a little more indulgent, but definitely contributed to that "I feel disgusting, but in a good way" feeling afterward. Overall, amazing burgers, decent experience, but I'd skip the fries next time. Really happy to see more Shake Shack locations popping up around the GTA.

The bacon mushroom Swiss was also great, very filling and packed with flavor mushrooms were fresh and juicy a great addition to the burger and the bacon added a great bit of salt to the burger 10/10. When I ordered we also got the classic chicken burger and I was lost for words it was so crispy and crunchy but the meat was juicy and tasted really good. Over all I would come back here the prices are a bit high but it's is reflected in the quality of food you get.
