Met two friends here for breakfast, probably not Burger Shack's best meal of the day. T went for the standard two eggs over easy, bacon, home fries and toast. It passed muster. D had the banquetburger, fries and a root beer. What else would he have at a burger joint at 9:30 in the a.m.? He loved it. I opted for the grilled cheese (probably the weakest choice) and fries. Oh, those fries. They made the visit worthwhile. read more

Pretty dees fish n chips at 3am... it's cozy and full of drunken uptowners. Nothing much to say except that the portion was good - it's cheap, I would go again if we were passing by. I wouldn't purposely travel down here to grab a bite though...it's very average when it comes to quality. read more

I heard quite a bit about new contenders around the city. Despite going many different locations, I still find Burger Shack's burgers to be the best. The beef patty seals in flavour and the selection of toppings will please most everyone. I particularly like their sautéed onions. The only thing the new upstarts have that this place doesn't are sleek dining areas. (Burger Shack could very much use a renovation.) The clientèle tends to be local families during the day. Since I never eat late night, I can't really speak for how it is at that time. The home banquet burgers are what you want to order. I have everything minus barbecue sauce on mine. Always ask them for the gherkins on the side! read more

The patties had an amazing flavor and the many many toppings they offer put it over the top. The fries were good but needed salt. The onion rings were tasty as was the gravy. Very low key kind of place where you order your food at the counter and then they call you up when its ready so you can tell them what toppings to put on the burger. The buns could be a bit better but that's my only complaint. read more

Service is okay, nothing too professional. Average price for a hamburger about average taste. Not worth going out of the way for. Perhaps the chicken souvlaki in a pita might be a better choice. read more

The Burger Shack - Homeburger - Hot Dogs Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Burger was good, poutine was really good (gravey was excellent), home made soup was very good as well... hits the spot when looking for a greqsy spoon place for a burger and fries.. will be back! read more

With all the 'trendy over the top and superbly OVERPRICED burger joints' popping up in Toronto the past couple of years, I had to write a review for My go to burger staple in the city. Burger Shack is not the best burger this city has . . that can be debated until the end of time! But I believe that it is the Best Bang for your Buck Burger in the city! BUT Burger shack has consistently cooked up quality fresh tasting burgers for me for a very long time. They have proper pricing for their food. NONE of this $9.99 base price for a burger BS. Their staff is always nice and not smug (like other trendy burger spots). I also enjoy their Chicken Souvlaki very much.. it's not as good as the Danforth, but it's pretty damn good coming from a burger spot! For people who don't want gross mcdonalds flavor in their mouths after eating a burger or would like to have some extra $ in their pockets after, I Highly recommend Burger Shack! OH and they're open LATE! read more

As usual, I can't vouch for any meat items but I'm happy to be an intrepid reporter on behalf of my fellow veggie burger hunters, especially those who want that classic homestyle flav with no "weird stuff". These ones are what you hope for - big, juicy, flavourful (especially when ordered with the works), perfectly charred and on a fluffy bun. Will most definitely eat again. And again. With fries next time. I also had the Shack's take on a fish burger on one of their apparently famed kaiser rolls. The fish is the kind with the deep-fried smooth golden shell (à la fish-and-chips). I usually prefer breaded fillets but, with a mouthful of pickles and mayo and kaiser, I had no complaints. Delish. I was pleasantly surprised that such an old school joint had these options, and at less than $20 for two veg and one fish, it was well worth it. Call ahead and pick up if you want; the inside of your car and the inside of this restaurant are probably on par in terms of decor. read more

This review must go higher! In truth: there is no knowing whene the precise source of my joy in du shack stems. I grew up in the vicinity and it is conceivable that many many late night shack attacks have coloured my memory in such a way to make the shack insunderably linked with the happy joys of youth. As evidence against this I will mention that I recently brought three friends along to sample the shack--none of whom had ever visited previously--and all of whom were delighted by homeburger, fries, rings. In fact, I give support to nothing beyond those items---my little brother loves the bacon grilled cheese---but whatever. Note that the other reviews are from people who thought it was unclean: it ain't unclean...it's just not the latest iteration of Burger and Company Gourmet Burger Co. You can wait in line at BCGBC. I'll be at this shack. read more

Good prices. Normal burgers (like hone made) but the service of the hosts increible. Disgusting attention. And only cash. If you dont have, try in the atm in the store. 2$ per use that. I'm really disappoint. Bad service from the kitchen helper to atm all. read more

One of my favourite places to go in the city. Location is very close to my house and staff is always friendly. Yes - it can be busy but the food never disappoints. Highly recommend the home burgers, onion rings, and chocolate shakes. read more

ugh...this burger joint came with high recommendations from a few, but honestly, i was not impressed. it's a small dive, that doesn't look very clean, and the staff behind the counter making your burgers don't either, plus they're not the nicest. the only plus this place has is that its open insanely late, so makes for a good pit stop after a late night out. but if ur in that area around a decent time then i'd recommend heading a few blocks east to yonge/eg and eating there! this is not worth it! its around 7 bucks for a burger, no thanks its not gourmet, why would i pay that much? must try: obviously their fresh patties as opposed to their frozen ones (why even have frozen option?) but of course fresh costs more, and still not worth it. read more

CASH ONLY in this place. Old fashioned and delicious. Nothing extravagant but the food is fool proof. Went here after my buddy recommended it while he lived in the area. Basic condiments they provide. The steak burgers looked good but I definitely want to give their fish and chips a try. If I were a local I would definitely be a regular. read more

I first have to apologize to my fellow yelpers who had fairly warned me this place wasn't all that great. But I thought 'the place has been there around 30 years, it has to be good' and I held onto the glimmer of hope left by the good reviews. But I have to say I was left very disappointed with Burger Shack, and its thin unflavorful burger. I wasn't overly impressed with the french fries either, which had an odd taste to them, and the milkshake was a huge let down. I think I might have been somewhat ok with my burger had it not been just under $12 for my burger, fries and shake. I came home wishing I had gone to Craft Burger instead. And like other reviewers, I'm also left feeling confused at the two burger options....fresh or frozen. read more

Was the too-go location for me when it comes to burgers for the longest time...they have the right amount of bun to go along with the right amount of charred meat in order to get the right amount of taste....i said right a lot didn't i??i guess they make burgers right!!! RIIIIIIGGGGHHHHHHTTT....great place!! read more

I'm a regular. The burgers are fantastic! Bun to burger ratio is just right; burger patty is thick, homemade and juicy; ingredients are fresh... good prices and the onions rings are the best I've ever had. I don't go to revel in the ambience or to be flattered by the service... I go for the food and the burgers and fries/onion rings hit the spot! read more

Home Burger is made fresh, not frozen. Choose toppings, including sautéed onions. Great fries. Fast and friendly service.

I showed up on a Sunday evening at 7 pm, the place was still buzzing with customers. I ordered the Twin Burger, a side of fries and a can of pop and everything was finished quickly and done to perfection. The atmosphere feels like you've stepped back in time and it's a very cozy little space. Highly recommended if you are in the area and even worth a trek if you aren't close by. read more

Amazing homemade burgers. Solid fries. No frills. They keep it simple and they do it exceptionally well. The entire place does have quite the shack vibe, reminiscent of old diners but without the color. But you grow to enjoy it. Oh and it's cash only but they have an ATM in store. read more

Been a patron of the Burger Shack for over ten years. The burgers are consistently good, much better than the typical fast food joints. Fries and gravy are awesome, and their onion rings are huge! They also have the most extensive assortment of Canned pop. If you want a quick lunch or dinner at Yonge and Eglinton, drop in to the Burger Shack. read more

Went here for breakfast a couple days ago and I can't stop thinking about it. Super cheap fried egg sandwich with a full order of hash browns was under $8. Added some cheese, seasoned onions and a tomato - freaking perfect greasy breakfast. I've also had the fish and chips, pretty good for a burger joint! Will definitely return. read more

Great food. Tables only really fit up to 4 people, and the place isn't huge. Been going here for years, the quality has always been good. Little hot in here in the summer. Reasonably priced burgers and souvlaki read more

Ohhh ya burger shack is just the best. Also really funny because they have a sign that says "No trans fats" on their window but it's like wait what?? There is definitely trans fats in the food so not sure what that is all about. They have really really amazing peach juice that is hard to find other places now! You know, it's just the mix, but it's soooo good. I get the veggie burger and it's just a regularly good veggie burger. The only down side is that the last time I went the bun was a little bit stale but I mean for the price I look the other way. The cashier was also really nice when I went in. oh AND the onion rings are incredible! Just a bit greasy so best to split them with someone. read more

This place is good,yet average. Home banquet and onion rings are good, but not overwhelmingly so. Average overall. Way better burger places in other parts of town. read more

Burger shack has been around for ages and is pretty solid place to go to for a burger. It freshly made and the toppings are all prepared in house. I have been told the shakes are really good to however have yet to try one. read more

This is a gem. Neighborhood favourite with excellent burgers made as you like, fabulous onion rings, souvlaki, poutine. The people who work here are awesome - left a winter coat with a wallet in the pocket there by mistake, came back the next day and they had found it and kept it all safe and sound. Good people and great food. read more

Good burgers. Good fries. Good shakes. Open late. The only downside is that it's cash only but I know that going in so it doesn't bother me.

Best burger joint in toronto...it's super cheap for toronto prices and the food 'nd ingredient quality were outstanding..what else is there to ask for from a fast food joint? Would recommend to any and all! Plus their onion rings are some of the best I've ever eaten!! read more

I usually have glowing things to say about this place but today not so good. It seems they have joined the growing trend of fast food places that are trying to save money by recooking food instead of using fresh. My burger and shake was amazing but the fries were terrible. They tasted and looked like they recooked cold fries. Either that or they need to changed the cooking oil.. I should have said something at the time because as soon as I saw them I knew just by their colour.. Too bad because their fries are usually fresh and delicious. Their banana shake is sooooo good! Best reason to go there! read more

A solid 4 stars for this burger joint. It's a total 70s throw back and I don't think anything has ever been updated since it opened but that's A-Ok with me. The fries were spot-on, the onion rings were ginormous, the burgers were finger-licking good and the milkshakes topped off this calorific meal with just the right amount of je ne said quoi. You get to choose your toppings a la Harvey's style, but I think next time I'll just stick to basic toppings so I can taste that scrumptious charbroiled flavour flave! read more

Local joint that has been in the neighborhood forever. Great for a quick pickup, drop in or after bar food on the weekend. I always order homemade banquet burger and sometimes fried or poutine. Local establishment which even top chefs from around the city have been know to stop by (Mark McKewan and David Lee). Probably my favorite burger in the city, followed by Chuck or Priest or if were talking high end Allans on the Danforth. Shack is great at anytime of the day and would recommend it to anyone who isn't trying to compare it to the burgers at places like Bymark or One. read more

Burger shack has been in the same spot, doing the same thing for as long as I can remember. Staff are friendly and consistent with their behaviour. Burgers are great value, simple, and don't leave you feeling like crap 20-minutes afterwards. If you're more into overpriced burgers with toppings you cant even pronounce, then stay away from burgershack...otherwise, get off your high horse and enjoy a classic burger! side note: while the onion rings are epic, i would stay away from these if you tend to shy away from greasy food... They are massive, they are epic, and they may leave you on your back in a food coma;) read more

The burgers here are way over priced..for meat is driping in grease do not eat here......

I went the other day for the first time, they have great burgers, and awesome onion rings. A must to try read more

This place is a classic, can't beat the homemade banquet burger with onion rings! Been coming for years. Its especially good late at night on the weekend at the end of a long night. read more

Burger Shack is by far the best burger place in Toronto. These new age burger places that are popping up all over the city have nothing on the down feel of a homeburger from "the shack". The Gravy is out of this world and the milkshakes put this fine establishment over the top. Long live Burger Shack! read more

What a fantastic place this is. The food is cooked right in front of you, the portions are huge, and the burgers are as tasty as burgers come. I wish they would give a bit better prices and better combos, but a great place none the less. read more

My friend advised me to check out the Shack for a decent burg. I don't think I'll be patronizing this establishment any further, due to their extremely poor service. I ordered a home burger combo, and waited for my order, sipping the soft-drink I had been given. Apparently, the cashier had forgotten to ring the drink in properly, and I had only paid for a burger and fries. The manager freaked out on both the cashier and I, glaring at me like I had punched the order into the cashier myself. Yeah, I routinely try to scam greasy spoon diners out of dollar fifty worth of shitty fountain pop. He made a big scene, and forced me to pay for the cashier's mistake before assisting further with my order. The food was mediocre. The people that run this place are a bunch of shady assholes. Don't come here. read more

They make a fine burger. It will not dissapoint, but also won't blow you away. I was a little put off by the food handler using his hands to take others' money and without washing his hands, build my burger. read more

The burgers are good and they have good fries too. I used to get the ibion rings but I can't eat onion now unfortunately. Would recommend to anyone for lunch. read more
