Visited this joint on a Saturday with a burger craving and received exactly what I was hoping for! Riverside Burgers serves up smashed burgers cooked to perfection and a great sauce. The dining area is small but can seat 6-8, with a wall that allows customers to sign on. We were served quickly and the burger was a good size. read more

Riverside Burgers - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Riverside is a humble burger joint. They don't have a flashy interior or a gimmicky "flagship" item to draw the TikTok/Instagram influencer crowd. What they do have is a great lineup of classic burgers, cooked well, and served at a very reasonable price. I had the walk-in special which consists of a cheeseburger, an order of fries, and a can of soda for $14. Compared to the trendy smashburger spots in the area, this is an absolute steal. The cheeseburger had a sizeable amount of beef, was sauced well, and had a great bun to boot. The fries weren't anything special, but it was a great compliment to the burger. I can definitely imagine making the painful walk over to Riverside after a big night and getting another walk-in special to nurse a hangover. read more

It was suppose to be a good day today. Get up. Go to get materials for job. Do the install then head to Toronto for a concert ! Que getting materials . Nothing was right. Things were missing. Which all caused a late start to my day. Job went well but left later than planned which landed me in lots of drive home traffic. Arrived in Toronto, parked and wander up near the theatre to find a bite to eat. Of course arriving late kept me from my plan A through D. So what is a guy to do now?! A Quick Look left than right than across the street and wa la !! A burger place. In my experience a burger place is a crap shoot. It can be super good, just terrible or somewhere in between. This place is definitely up in that super food area . From the roll to the sauce and everything in between was above and beyond what'l I was expecting . The lovely woman working really hard was also a delight. If she is an employee she deserves a raise ! Go Eat Enjoy Walk it off after ! Then come back for seconds. read more

Came in for a quick bite and not sure what was happening but it reeked inside. That was unpleasant so opted to site outside at their patio. The patio is nice, they have umbrellas for shade. Tried the cheese burger and it was alright. Found it a bit dry, so neither of us could finish it. It was just lacking flavour. The fries were tasty though, perfectly crispy. Service was quick. read more

Ordered takeout and it was a pretty solid meal. The menu is stacked with a lot of great options and are very creative. I ordered a regular cheeseburger and as mundane of an option as it is, all of the ingredients in the burger tasted fresh. I don't know what kind of bun they use but it held all of the ingredients really well so there wasn't a hot mess afterwards. As for the poutine, they didn't skimp out on cheese curds or gravy and it was still hot. read more

A solid place for fresh cut fries, onion rings, sandwiches and of course burgers! Although the interior is quite small there is limited seating inside, as well as the potential for some bench/outdoor seating when weather permits. As expected from a burger restauraunt, the burgers are fresh pressed to order and juicy! There are lamb burger and chicken burger options, as well as several types of beef burgers (vary based on the toppings). I got to try a few, but my favorite was the signature 'Riverside Burger' which is a 6oz beef patty, a huge panko-crusted onion ring, bbq sauce, mozzarella, garlic aioli and bacon. read more

Riverside Burgers is a small local burger joint located on Queen and Broadview. They offer a selection of specialty burgers with cool names such as Riverside (with Panko-crusted onion ring), Dill-I-Cio (with Panko battered deep-fried pickle), Hot Hawaiian (with sweet pineapple), Brunch (with fried egg) and others. They also offer a selection of classic burgers such as Cheese Burger and Banquet Burger, and sides such as onion rings, poutine, fried cheese, fried pickle, Greek salad and more. I was craving a good burger when in downtown and came across Riverside Burgers after a quick search on my phone. At the time of this writing, seating is available on the street patio. In my first visit, I ordered the Riverside (6oz beef patty, Panko-crusted onion ring, BBQ sauce, mozzarella, garlic aioli, bacon). I was impressed with it; it tasted great and the onion ring added a nice texture to it; the amount of BBQ sauce was just right and didn't overwhelm the other flavors. The brioche bun was a nice touch as well. In my second visit, I decided to go big and ordered The Big Boy Burger (12 oz beef patty, double cheddar cheese, red onion, pickles, fried egg, garlic aioli, jalapeno). It was an epic burger for a big appetite; the jalapeno added a nice zing to the burger, but it would had been nice if it had something to add more texture to this burger, such as the onion ring in the Riverside. Riverside Burgers reminds me of The Burger's Priest when they started their first tiny store on Queen and Coxwell, before they went corporate and lost their edge. You can feel the love put into creating their product and the pride serving a delicious artisanal burger. Service was good and friendly. Street parking available. The neighborhood is served by TTC 501 and 504 lines. TLDR; tasty burgers, good service, highly recommended read more

We had some takeout from here and their burgers are served up in delicious, creative and classic ways! I had the Dill-i-cio Burger with fried pickles, bacon, sriracha, garlic aioli and mozzarella, and highly recommend it. I'm hungry just looking at my pics. Rest of the team had the Classic Cheeseburger and Riverside Burger. Compliments all around. Update: tried the Brunch Burger, good but egg was overcooked for my liking. So ask for runny if that's your style. Also had the Liberty Burger, which is very heavy on the blue cheese read more

Riverside Burgers - Outside - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Long Story Short: Delicious burgers, with lots of variety of meats and toppings! Very friendly staff, the type that would remember your name if you're a regular. Long Story Long: I ordered the Cheese Burger with caramelized onions instead of red onions. They were very accommodating with making those small changes. Very fresh, and watching the ingredients being placed on the burger with care, made me feel that the owners really put effort into their service. The staff were very kind and courteous. The space, although small, was clean. Good for a quick order and take-out, but I recommend ordering ahead of time, because if there was a lineup, it would get uncomfortable pretty quickly. Definitely recommend it. read more

Riverside Burgers - Cheese Burger with caramelized onions instead of red onion, with a side of sweet potato fries - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This looks like a hole-in-the-wall in the east side of the city. However, prices are not that way. A little pricey for the quality of food. I got the jerk chicken burger and husband got lamby. My jerk chicken was better than his lamb burger. He was not happy at all with his lamb burger. It wasn't seasoned properly and there was not much taste. The saving grace was my burger which was decent and the burger buns were very good too. The staff were very nice and got our food out quickly. read more

Excellent burgers and fries! I ordered the banquet and it was the best burger I've had in recent memory. Great bun, meat, bacon, sauce and veggies. They even added jalapeños as I requested. The fries were also excellent; well seasoned and fresh. This is my new burger spot! read more

Came here the other day to grab a late bite. Got the Hot Hawaiian and it was good! Bun was fresh. Not too soft but also not too hard where it hurts your gums when you bite. The fries and onion rings were amazing. The only thing was the seats /tables were a bit small, though i don't blame them since the space is fairly small compared to other joints. Their aioli was vinegar based. Overall amazing service and good food! read more

Delicious and fast. My son and I stopped here for burger and poutine. Ate outside at sidewalk table , and it was great!

Best burger I have ever had hands down! Hand made 100% ground beef with non -processed cheese. Toppings are so fresh as well as the buns. Better than I make and that's a lot. Fries are good you can tell oil is new. Highly recommend! read more

Amazingly WOW!!! Is the only way to describe this place. Everything is homemade (the sauces). Burgers are fresh and locally sourced. I had the Riverside burger and it was impeccable. The bacon and fried onion added crunch to every bite which was so lovely! The fries were fresh cut and small size which is what I prefer. The fries had an amazingly garlic flavour and were also crispy which I love! I highly recommend this local goody!! I'll be back. read more

Terrific burgers and great fries. Also had the onion rings which superb as well. Overall a really solid meal and the staff are so friendly. Very homey and cozy place to duck in for some burgers and a side. read more

Hole in the wall places are usually the best. Riverside Burger did not disappoint! chill outside street seating and bench seating inside. the burger selection is vast and each hits the promise their website said! A must hit stop on your way through Toronto or a pre dinner before a show at the opera house, just steps away! read more

I've been looking at this place for years, always curious if it was any good, it looked nice, clean, visually appealing storefront. This past Saturday, finally my beautiful girlfriend wanted burgers for dinner!! We wanted to give a local place some business and settled on giving Riverside Burgers try. My partner said she tried this place many years ago, but it looked like it was under new management, her previous experience was very good so we gave it a try. My partner had the Riverside burger and i had the banquet. we also ordered fries and homemade onions rings to share as a side. The burgers were absolutely EXCELLENT. The toppings were also perfect, just the right amount, and fresh. I loved the shredded lettuce. Their bacon was also thick and crispy. Their burgers were served on really nice and fresh brioche buns that were grilled. Thes burgers were assembled beautifully as well. Their patties were deliciously spiced and had the right amount of fat to make them juicy without being too greasy, they obviously use a very well balanced and high quality ground. Their fries were also excellent, i personally prefer well done, crispy fries, but these were great either way, clearly fresh cut instore, shoestring style. which i love, they would have been even better well done. We also loved the onion rings, they were DELICIOUS! but if i was going to complain about anything, $7 for literally 5 onion rings is a sad joke. they were great, but 5 rings? c'mon guys, these are the cheapest items to make on your menu, be a little bit more generous please, you'd likely sell more, i assume most people order them once because they only get 5 rings for $7. Besides the lack of value for those rings. Riverside burgers was the best burger i've had in years, super delicious. I am really looking forward to ordering from them again! Great food! Delicious Burgers!!! read more

I think they have the best burger in Toronto. I have been there four times now and I'm hooked. The burger is homemade, great texture, and just the right thickness. I get the regular burger special (with fries) each time. The fries are also tasty and homemade. As a bonus, the married couple that own the place are super nice and you can tell that customer service is very important to them. This is my first yelp review, and I'm inspired to post because I love this place so much! read more

Amazing. The two people working ( maybe the owners?) where kind and attentive. Food was off the chart good and fresh. The poutine and jerk chicken were a surprisingly terrific. Hope it stays just like it is. Will be back for sure. read more
