    GREAT burgers and fries. Prompt and genuine service. Well done gentlemen.

    Just tried OBQ Burgers on Browns Line in #Alderwood for lunch and it did not disappoint. I like to think of myself as a burger expert and don't really go out for burgers often because I can make them myself but their burger was really good. I just went for their basic cheese burger and it has really good flavour. My wife and I shared the basic poutine also and it was very good and it looks like they have a lot of options for specialty fries / poutines which look amazing too and can't wait to try them all. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a tasty burger!

    Menu has a decent selection

    I've seen this place for quite some time but never made the effort to pop in and give it a try. I have friends that live on/near Lakeshore and there's a handful of places down there I check out from time to time like 850 and Woody's so Brown's Line for me was just me passing through. I finally decided to give it a try and they close kind of early during the week (8pm) so since my wife had to go somewhere nearby I popped in for a quick bite. The menu is large and a lot to read and some of the bigger options I hate to say I was rather afraid to ask about them. These burgers were upwards of 20 bucks and I wasn't really in the mood for a crazy huge meal but I did get the bacon and blue because I love bacon and I'm all about cheese. Smokey Blues as it's called has also comes with fried onions and I was asked if I wanted to add anything else so I asked for banana peppers as well. For a side they serve up fries many ways as well. I just wanted to go with the traditional poutine which is just gravy, curds and fries. They make a version without curds and cheddar if you're into that sort of thing as well as other options that I didn't bother to look at. The menu is diverse and if there was anybody behind me I'd let them go ahead as I had some decision making to do. I had placed my order and sat down to wait for it as I'd be eating in instead of taking it to go. The place only has a couple 2 seat tables so it's kind of small inside. The strip mall they are a part of, they occupy the south end of the building that shares with a really large Pizza Pizza, probably the largest one I've ever seen with booths and lots of seating. The parking in the tiny strip mall is a little awkward. It's small but also sort of tight, especially if there's a lot of snow. The burger was good but it didn't seem to be over the top impressive. I liked the bacon and blue but that part can't really be messed up. The burger itself was good and it was tasty but it didn't seem filling enough. The onions, peppers and sauce added some complimentary flavor however the bun for whatever reason was toasted and a bit over toasted on the inside. I would have preferred the bun to not be as toasted if at all. Still, overall the burger was good. The poutine was what I'd expect from a standalone burger place in that it would be done right. The fries didn't get overly soggy and the curds were as they should be. The burger while not necessarily extraordinary the poutine was very good. Overall the bang for the buck at OBQ seems only satisfactory. I liked the choices and such but it seems rather expensive for the value. It's not often I'll get a burger, poutine and drink and have it be close to 20 bucks. I'd still like to return and try something else since there's so much to try. There's options for adding patties to either 4 or 6 oz burgers and if the preselected menu isn't the way to go you can always customize as well.

    SUPER skeptical about going in here since it looks so sketchy from the outside, but the burgers are crazy good. The poutine, too. I mean, I just had the normal poutine with gravy and Quebec curds, but it was perfect. They offer different ways to top your fries/poutine, but that seems sacrilegious in Canada. Why do people want variations on an already perfect dish? Makes zero sense to me. The fries to gravy to curd ratio was impeccable. There's an art to making a good poutine, and these gentlemen have it mastered. Anyway, the fries were fantastic and the burger was really, really good. Ignore the terrible signage out front and get the hell in here.

    Tasted nothing like fresh cut fries!! Comparable to Harveys fries (not the Swiss chalet ones)

    This place is small, wasn't busy when I went and its next to a really large pizza pizza. No bathrooms I came here with a craving for poutine, let's just say I love poutine with every ounce of my being. It's the epitome of being Canadian Sadly, this place does not have fresh cut fries!! The sign on the exterior lists "fresh cut fries". Final verdict? Glorified harveys poutine, but double the price.

    Hands down the best burger joint in the city. And it's much more convenient than Priest Burger. Free parking, easy to get to, and doesn't take 30 minutes to get your burger. Did I mention it was effin' delicious? Best quality of meat I've ever had in a burger. Pretty much eaten half their menu already and their menu is HUGE.

    Great little take out place for burgers and such. Here is a breakdown of the food: 1. Onion rings - nice and tasty, smaller rings than what I would have preferred, I like my onion rings 1/2 inch thick. With that being said I would order again. 2. Burger: Bun- nice soft sesame seed bun, a little too bug for the burger as I want the patty to full cover if not over lap the bun. Patty - cooked to perfection, still juicy but fully cooked. They added either onion salt or garlic powder in the patty which I would like to go with out. My wife lived the burger I enjoyed it.

    Not the best pic but this is the "OBQ Burger". It's supposed to be 6 oz but, as you can see, it's only about 4 oz or less - almost $9!

    I was really hungry so I stopped in here for lunch on my day off as the place I was planning on going to ran out of the menu items I wanted. It's basically a small, take-out place with only seating for about eight. I ordered the OBQ Burger which I was told was six ounces and it came to close to $9.00 with tax. I waited about 10 minutes while it was being prepared and, luckily, it was ready before three very sketchy individuals came in. Once I smelled the weed off them, I realized they just had the munchies! Pros: meat was definitely good quality, fresh and not frozen; enough napkins were provided; service was friendly. Cons: the sauce that comes with the burger was watery, which caused the bun to get wet; bun was not fresh; meat was four ounces NOT six ounces as what I was told; meat to bun ratio was way more bun; meat had no flavor; no gloves were worn while preparing food; NOT good value for the money. I should have just drove down to Woody's ...

    Yum yum, a 6 oz double banquet burger, mmm mmm good!

The I Heart Butter Tart Concrete ($6.49) that I ordered was a little too much for myself. I did decide to go through and finish the ice cream / sundae just so I don't have anything to go. The interior of the place was properly though out and well designed. Self order stations are available to order from and the ordering interface is one of the better systems I have seen. When I dined in early afternoon on a weekday it was a rather slow day. There were a couple of Shake Shack employees constantly roaming about the premises ready to attend to any customer request. 1 such employee was thoughtful enough to serve me and a group of other customers some water. I have mixed feelings about the bathroom setup. Yes, it is clean and there were a few toilet rooms available, but it requires a code to be entered prior to using. The door screen shows as vacant but an employee still needs to give out the 4 digit code needed to access the toilets. I also found some issues with the water faucet sensors. It is inconsistently picking up my gestures resulting in an unreliable and unsteady flow of running water when I was washing my hands.

    This may be toted as just another burger place spot but it is far from your average joint…read more I had lunch here recently and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The service was friendly and patient as I was greeted upon entry and took my time perusing the menu. The restaurant was very clean and organized, not a lot of stuff on the walls and the bathrooms were in top shape which I appreciated. I ordered the classic double burger, with a side a fries and a cane cola. The burger was delicious! Toppings were fresh and tasty, and it made a mess with the sauces and condiments which is a sign of a great burger. It wasn't overly huge, a good size for my hands and they did get messy as I devoured this scrumptious burger. The Cane Cola was a nice accompaniment to try for the first time but not necessary to enjoy the burger. The fries were golden and crispy and quite a large portion for the price. I just wished the fry lengths were a bit longer as I received a lot of tiny pieces instead of longer potatoes which meant I was scooping them up in my hand to eat them. Not a dealbreaker, just an annoyance. The wait for the food wasn't very long, about 5-8 minutes and they brought the order to the table. I really enjoyed the burger and fries making this NOT just another burger spot but MTTBS = Must try this burger spot!

Went on Monday afternoon as I was on my regular driving route and ordered the crispy chicken burger. It came out looking smashing as they use a complete chicken breast, really juicy and the taste is pretty good other than it was a bit salty. The only gripe I had was the shoestring fries, I would have much preferred fresh straight cut fries.
