Tips: - Deals that are online aren't advertised when you order at the store. - This store has a Coke Freestyle machine. Yesterday, after taking in an afternoon movie, I was ready for dinner. I looked at a row of five businesses nearby. I had visited 60% of them. I chose to get a bite to eat at Hero Certified Burgers. I love burgers. I had never been to Hero until last night. I did a quick look at its online menu. I saw a classic hero burger special going for $4.99. Toppings were extra, but I was okay to try it out. There weren't a lot of vehicles in front of this eatery at around 6 pm. My original thought was to walk over from Cineplex to Hero, but it was raining. I decided to get into my car and drive closer to Hero. I have never had any issues finding parking here. The lot is vast. I walked in. There was a couple seated across from the order area. I saw a lone man making food. I did not ring the bell. I'd give him the peace to work on this couple's meal while looking over the menu. I did not see the classic hero burger special. I was prepared to ask the man once he was done. He was great letting the couple know that their food was ready. He then went to help me. He seemed tired. I asked what specials he had. He only saw the heavy hitter burger, which looked huge. It was going for $13.99. Um, no. I indicated that there was a classic burger going for $5. He acknowledged this deal and let me know that it didn't have many toppings, other than pickles, onions, and ketchup. I was okay with it. I made it a combo, but swapped out the fries for mushroom poutine. I paid roughly $13 for my meal, which would have been the price of that heavy hitter burger alone. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. I got a cup. Lids and straws are at the order counter. This eatery has a Coke Freestyle machine. Sweet! I started with a Barq's vanilla root beer. It was clear in colour. I was expecting brown. I was so amazed by its clearness that I drank it without a lid. It was cold, especially with the ice that I had added. I loved it. I found a table next to the drink machine. I sat down and waited for my food. The nice man came over with my food when it was ready. I thanked him. It looked amazing. The mushroom poutine uses vegetarian gravy, so it's a bit thinner than regular gravy. The mushrooms were portobello. Meaty. I do think that they tasted borderline from a can. I loved the cheese curds that melted with the hot gravy. The fries were perfect. Delicious! I loved the classic hero burger. It was a thick angus beef patty. It worked well with the red onions, pickles, and ketchup. The bun had sesame seeds and was toasted. It was so good holding this burger together. I don't know why it took me this long to have a burger at Hero. My meal as excellent without breaking any bank. I used the washroom before I left. There's one stall for women and another for men. The women's was clean. No issues. I filled my cup with Minute Maid zero-sugar grape. OMG! So yummy. I'd return here for my burger and drink fixes. It was perfect after taking in a movie.

I had this food delivered to my hotel while I was visiting the area. I'd like to return to the restaurant next time to see what the ambiance is like, because I enjoyed the food. I appreciate that there are vegetarian options. I was able to indulge in poutine which was tasty! I also enjoyed the plant based tenders and the dip. It was nice to have a protein option to balance out the cup of carbs. read more

I ordered a 6oz burger no bun add cheese and a fried egg There was one customer in front of me when I ordered. It took approximately 10 min for my order to come out. The amount of toppings they give you is insane I definitely could not eat it with my hands had to use knife and fork. My egg was made medium well. ( I probably should of specified how I wanted it cooked) I was pleasantly surprised when I got to slices of cheese. The beef patty was tasty and thick but you can definitely tell that it wasn't hand pressed in the back it came pre portioned Overall I had a decent experience and I would go back read more

14 min from order to pick up, on a sat aft, and 2 other groups in the place (6 people plus me) Budget burger was good , tasty and enough for a small lunch . Fries were ok for frozen fries , they were fresh and hot.. Coke freestyle machine, a few options were empty. Don't come here if thirsty, no refills, not even discounted second drink. Experience was ok, but I wanted a refill... Not many places you can get a cherry coke. read more

I would have given this 4 stars if the service wasn't so slow. There was only 1 person ahead of me and I waited over 15 mins for a burger. The burger I must say was pretty delicious though, the patty was moist and had good flavor. I would return and try different items on the menu. read more

Great place for a burger that's a little better than just a fast food place. Location is clean. Service can take a bit longer than a normal burger spot but everything is being made to order. I just think it's something to note - I wouldn't suggest it if you're looking to get in and out very quickly. I like being able to customize the burger toppings. They are quite gracious with their toppings as well. I also like that they have the pop machine where you cAn customize your drink. For example, you can get vanilla or cherry coke. Note: They make the wrapper so you can open it and eat the burger without everything falling out. read more

No more cranberry sauce? ghetto burger... so, it's officially an overpriced Harvey's... And the new watered down gravy...mmm Congrats.. #pass read more

Let's start this off by saying you can get better quality burgers in and around this area, if you're looking to be wowed Hero burger ain't the place to go. That being said, for a chain, this place is pretty decent. I've been here a handful of times and haven't had a problem. A 6oz burger, drink and sweet potato fries comes out to around $12. I think the prices are fair but it does get a little costly if you start adding upgrades (cheese, bacon, etc). They have one of those Coca Cola freestyle machines which is AWESOME! So many cool drink options I've never seen before... Raspberry coke? Where did this ever exist? A high school must be near by because at lunch this place gets packed with teenagers gossiping in their uniforms. When this rush comes in the line can be long leading to late food and a over time lunch break.. read more

This review came after some great internal debate. i hymped and I hawed back and forth as to whether or not I award this place 2 or 3 stars after my recent visit here. I refuse to give a half star as 1/2 points are about as satisfying as kissing ones own cousin and seeing as I don't do one I refrain from doing the other... ok off topic there for a moment (this is what happens when you write a review at 12:30AM) I really cannot say anything bad about Hero Certified Burgers. The burgers and toppings are always, ALWAYS, tasty and delicious. Cooked to near perfection and the ability to make unique combinations is always a fav of mine. This being said, I must warm you all about the terror which is their specialty sandwich menu. The taste remains consistently good but more than 1-2 of these a week and you will for sure be headed to the poor house. THEY BEEZ EXPINSIVE!!! A recent late lunch stop here had me feening for a gourmet grilled chicken sandwich - enter the Italian Deluxe Chicken Sandwich (should have taken a hint that anything DELUXE will break ones bank). Topped with goat cheese, grilled peppers and mushrooms, cheese and special sauces all served on a toasted Chiabatta bun, I cannot tell a lie - it was amazing! BUT at $13 for only the sandwich I feel like HCB is going to struggle to make that sale 9/10 times. No fries and no drink with that order (they would have cost me extra). Not great value. My only other complaint here was the cleanliness of the establishment. Bathrooms and tables were neglected during the post lunch rush. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt here BUT I will be back HERO BURGER..... and I'll be watching (slanty evil eyes). read more

I love this location, very friendly staff! Yummy burgers and delicious french fries!! Cleanish restaurant and usually clean washroom that anyone can run in and use! read more

Great tasting food served in a clean environment. My friend ordered a Mushroom Poutine. It took at least 5 minutes after ordering for it to be finished. In the meantime, I was greeted by vandalised tic-tac-toe on one of their tables. At least the table was wiped clean! They called out our number on the speakerphone so we would go pick it up. Friend shared her Mushroom Poutine (which comes with a fountain drink) with me, and it tasted a-mah-zing. The mushroom cuts were bigger than I expected, but still good. The cheese curds were top notch, and the fries were well done. Fountain drinks are bottomless. Washrooms are tucked away at the back of the restaurant. read more

Im really glad this location is close to my work place I really enjoy hero burgers. The service is wonderful and during lunchtime it's not too busy. As a creature of habit I usually stick to the basic hero burger with the hero sauce and basic toppings but I'm never disappointed. You can't really go wrong with any burger you order here. Also the fries at hero burger are always delicious. Highly reckoned to any and all in the area. read more

I was stranded for a few hours up in da 'bridge and was desperate for a quick bite to eat so I hit up the Hero Certified Burgers located in the mega shopping corner at Hwy. 7 & 400. I probably should have crossed the road and gone to Mucho Burritto but it came down to what I thought would be the lesser of disappointments. So I finally settled on HCB. I ordered the standard Hero Burger with Cheese and made it a combo. If I ate this burger with my eyes closed in an undisclosed location I would have sworn I was eating a burger from Harvey's. This nondescript burger combo set me back twelve bucks. A total disappointment. The Hero sauce they put on the hamburger is that hideous Ranch styled dressing and it just ooooooozed out of the burger as I began eating it. All I could taste was toppings, I couldn't taste the meat at all. The fries were meh. Thoroughly cooked but greasy and somewhat tasteless. Ordered a side of gravy and got that instant mix gravy that most restaurants like to torture us with. Can someone tell me why the colour of their hamburger patties looks slightly orange? This has me kind of worried. I kept checking myself in the dark to see if I am at all beginning to glow. The only upside was that when I asked for just some water with my combo (I don't drink soft drinks) the gal behind the counter offered me a choice of Perrier. Usually they'll charge you extra for that. HCB's. Forgetable. read more

What a surprise this place was when I came in for lunch today! I was convinced that Canada did not have any good hamburger places until I went here. I mean, Harvey's is a horrible, horrible atrocity when it comes to burgers. It upsets me so much that they are the reason that Carl's Jr./Hardee's is prevented from entering Canada. I guess the only way to succeed for a burger chain in Canada is to make sure superior burgers do not make it to Canada. Wait until they get a taste of In-N-Out hamburgers... Hero is very similar to Five Guy's Burgers, except the meat is probably a bit tastier. You get your selection of toppings and sauces. I ordered the 8 ounce Hero burger with a whole lot of toppings. That was one nice chunk of beef. The onion rings were sweet, crispy, and delicious. The staff is friendly. If I need a quick fixin' for a burger, I have finally found my place in Toronto. read more

Not my favorite burger joint...there are better ones out there. This location has the unique advantage of being in the same parking lot as a larger multiplex theatre, hence its popularity. Do not, I repeat Do not, attempt to go into this restaurant 1/2 hr. before a popular movie starts...it does get quite busy and backed up. The burgers themselves are not stellar...the ones at Southstreet, Five Guys, etc are tastier. They are better than McDonalds/Burger King, etc, but the price point reflects that difference. I don't mind paying extra for a gourmet burger, but not for one of this quality. Since my last visit I haven't returned. It was far too busy, far too expensive, far too "unkept" for my liking. read more

The Hero Burger is a pretty decent place to grab a solid burger. In general, Hero Burgers are a pricier-higher quality compared with your run of the mill Harveys. They offer more options for toppings and have great tasting meats. The poutine here is average (at best!!) ...they're trying this weird dressing thing on their poutines ...not worth it. I tried the one with the bacon and it was like eating salad dressing: an interesting attempt, but disgusting. They kindly have a vegetarian option for gravy, but it really doesn't taste as good as other vegetarian gravy I've had in the past. Poutine = no no. The burger is honestly so customizable that I'm 100% sure you'll find something you like. The setup here is rather narrow. You walk in and order your burger and in the meantime you can play with their AWESOME (!!!) drinks selection menu. I swear each time I order a drink I think I'm in Star Trek. TL;DR: decent burger place, close to the theaters. You'll pay more, but you have many options to make it worth it. Avoid poutine here. read more

Came here for a quick bite to eat before a movie and usually love Hero burgers but was throughly disappointed in the service. My husband and I decided to order their speciality items other than their burgers, what a wrong choice. I ordered the cranberry turkey burger and my husband ordered their speciality chicken burger. I decided to try their black bamboo bun which you need to pay extra for and the cashier raved it was so different and tasted so good from their normal sesame bun. When we got our meals, I discovered the cashier had inputted my meal wrong and had give me a regular turkey burger with no toppings and just the black bamboo bun. Not really wanting to wait or pay extra, I took some toppings from my husband's burger and chowed it down. Definitely not worth the price. Next time, just stick with their regular signature beef burgers here and don't go with their other speciality options, you will be disappointed. One thing though I did appreciate is at least I saved on less added calories with having the plain burger option (but not my choice!) read more

Had a craving for burgers and fries when we spotted this place. I've never been there before but had high hopes. First off, customer service was excellent. The place wasn't very busy on a Saturday afternoon, the server was more then helpful and polite with us first timers. We ordered the 4oz beef burger with a poutine and drink. The toppings were fresh, the bun was fresh, the fries were hot, the gravy was good, they used REAL cheese curds and the drink machine was amazing ( digital coke machine with tons of drink variations to choose from! ) My one criticism was the burger patty. The texture was pretty rubbery, kinda spoungy.... Like pre-formed frozen processed patties. They boast 100% Canadian Angus beef, but the taste and texture is similar to a box of cheap frozen patties you can get at No Frills, in my opinion. If this place handmade their patties and charbroiled them, it would be a favorite spot to eat. If you aren't a meat snob like me, this place will not disappoint! read more

Close to our office and we wanted a quick meal so this was a good find. My coworker had a burger and really liked it and they have lots of gluten free options.

Let me start by saying that I love that this place is open until 2 on weekends....GREAT alternative to McDonalds for late night munchies After frequenting Hero burger for years I finally found a topping combination that actually makes it worth returning for a reason other than sheer convenience I get a 6 oz cheeseburger with hero sauce, ketchup, mustard, jalapeno and fire roasted peppers After eating burgers from Hero for years this is the only burger I have actually liked Gets a 4 for being open late on weekends and proximity to my house.....no more Mickey D's! read more

I stepped into the store last week with my wife, and we immediately fell in love with this place. The service was great, and their variety of toppings is refreshing. I got their 6 oz signature burger with a poutine, and my wife ordered the turkey fiesta with the sweet potato fries. The burgers were fresh and cooked to perfection and their poutine is a must try. We had our ordered delivered to us by the cashier within 8 minutes. Definitely going back soon to try their chicken burger. read more

Went in yesterday for a quick burger with my wife and two daughters, our order ( number 12) was taken at 12:27, by 12:47 I went up to the cash and asked the cashier why the delay, he said they were running behind as he served order 7, I explained that we had an appointment at 1 and couldn't wait much longer, he informed me that it would be at least another 30 minutes for my order! I demanded a refund, he asked me to wait for the refund, I have to explain again I had to leave. I finally received my refund without even an apology, as I was walking out I hear the same kid at the counter tell people that were in line for 10 minutes that he couldn't take their order for at least 30 minutes. I can understand if this was a sit down meal, but it's a burger place, 40 minutes to get a burger? Will never return to this location read more

I've always liked the burgers here but don't come often. I've had to sit through a smoke filled dining area twice in the last 6 months. Obviously there's a problem with the ventilation here, but it looks like they're either not fixing it properly or there are bigger construction issues. Either way, ruins the burger when you can smell all the burnt oil/grease. Takeout is probably a better idea. read more

My wife and I are not big burger lovers. My wife actually cannot eat any wheat products. On Sunday we just finished watching a movie and we were decinding on what to eat for dinner. We ended up walking over to the Hero Certified Burgers restaurant across the parking lot. The staff was friendly, they made sure we knew the different options and they took our order in a reasonable time. I had the Grilled Chicken and my wife had a cheese burger with no bun. The food was great and it was reasonably priced. We enjoyed our meal and decided that we would go back after our next movie. A second part to this story is that I paid with my Mastercard and then went out to get the car while my wife waited. Today I was looking for my Mastercard to pay a bill and I could not find it. I eventually took a look at my Mastercard transactions and remembered that I last used it at the Hero Certified Burger Restaurant in woodbridge. So I looked up their store on the internet, called them and sure enough they found my card. They had called the BOM and did as the bank told them - cut up the card. Now this may not sound like a good story but I have just gone thorugh having my Notebook, debit and credit cards, business cheques, etc. stollen and compromised. I was envisioning having to go through the whole process all over again for my MAstercard. The Manager at Hero Certified Burgers in Woodbridge did me a great favour and I pick up my replacement card this Thursday. Not only do I plan to patronize the restaurant again but I will be dropping off a small thank you gift for the staff. It is nice to know there are still honest, friendly people out there.

There are always other places that sells burgers that could be better than this one.. But i still give him 5 stars on their burgers

one of the worst burgers i ever had, they state its not frozen but the shape and the horrid taste lets me believe otherwise, Fries soggy and greasy..too much choice on toppings should really focus on the meat and simplicity. would never go again, awful read more

Im not the craziest for the Hero Burger but I'll often get the soul burger which I find decent. I decided to try the Turkey Burger this time and man do I ever regret it. I waited extra long for it and than once it finally came I took a few bites and was disappointed (nothing compared to Lick's Turkey burger) I got half way through (probably just because the toppings were helping mask the taste) and started to feel sick. I threw my 11 dollar turkey burger out. 1 hour after that I had all the symptoms of food poisoning. I have never felt as sick for the last 20 hours. Never again will I eat here or any other Hero Burger - gross and unsafe! read more
