Decided on this restaurant for dinner, was there just after 5 pm. The restaurant itself was empty but clean. Was greeted right away as I looked at the menu to figure out my order. It had been several years since I'd last been to this location. I tried the High Priest Burger, Poutine and Salted Caramel shake. The shake was tasty but I found the amount inside the cup was less than it should be. The Poutine was great. The Burger was good although the condiments on the burger were lacking. I also remember the Burger patties being thicker the last visit. Shrinkflation maybe?
It was very sad to see how the quality of customer service went down! The secret menu is now forcing you to sign up on their web site!! Really? Lol Also out of two washrooms, one was completely out of service and the other one had no soap! When we informed the staff, their response was: "ok..." :) I watched the happy staff dancing to music and nobody went to the washroom to fix the issue! It's just sad because they lost a loyal customer. But a note to the business owner: In this year, 2020, customer satisfaction is not even enough to make the business successful. Now businesses should try for "customer delight" I can tell you as a customer I was far from being satisfied!
This was my second time eating a burger from here. My first experience was takeout. I wanted to write a review after dining in, when the food is hot and fresh. I think food tastes better when you eat it right away. Unless it's pizza or something. Leftover pizza is good. Today, I decided to try the Holy Smokes burger. It's a double patty burger with breaded jalapeños inside. I opted for all the condiments and toppings, except for tomatoes and onions. In retrospect I regret not including tomatoes into my burger. I think tomatoes would've added a bit more flavour. I just wasn't in the mood for tomatoes today. I also had a side of poutine (which I shared with my husband) and a milkshake. I don't think there's anything special about the burgers I've eaten here. Even the breaded jalapeños couldn't convince me that this burger was different than other burgers. I will say the jalapeños did add a bit of spicy kick. I just wasn't impressed by the quality of the bread and the beef patties. The burger was large and I needed to take huge bites to eat it. It was messy to eat. I used a pile of napkins by the time I finished my burger. I like the Riggs and Murtaugh milkshake. It's sweet and tasty. Can't really go wrong with vanilla and chocolate. It's the perfect consistency to drink with a straw. They have a variety of milkshakes to choose from. The poutine was good. I appreciated the decent amount of cheese curd and gravy. I unfortunately didn't take a picture of the poutine but it looked like your typical poutine. The fries were also okay. Overall, this is a fast food restaurant that serves okay burgers. Next time, I might try their secret menu items to see if there's anything exciting that I'm missing. There are many menu items that I still need to explore.
Burger priest 8.5/10 I had the og cheeseburger. It was phenomenal but my only complaint is way too much grease. All that grease from the og cheeseburger hurt my stomach. But overall the burger was amazing and had a lot of taste to it. The burger was a bit messy though. I would recommend to wait till you get home to eat the og cheese burger. The fries were pretty good. Not alot to say about them.
Affordable for the burger but about 30 people got their orders before us. The place was full of people waiting, not eating. I recommend ordering online before you go. We ordered two high priest burgers. See the pictures. The top bun and burger had zero toppings or sauce between them. The burger patties seemed deep fried, and a bit dry. I took the first bun off the top, and set it aside, then took the middle bun and put it on top. Then anywhere there was no condiments I added ketchup. Then I stuck the whole thing in the microwave for one minute, (I like my burger hot) . It was ok for an 11 dollar burger. I don't think I gave it the best possible conditions for taste, taking it home-so I do plan on giving The BurgerPriest another chance.
Burger was disappointing. Thin boring bun. Barely there toppings. They offer a 12 minute burger at lunchtime or else its free here. Location is in a busy downtown area but luckily has loads of free parking. I ordered the bacon double cheeseburger. It came relatively quick in less than 5 minutes with noone else there. The burger appeared quite small for $10. But the meat quality was good and it was extremely flavourful. The part that was dissapointing was the toppings were barely there and looked slightly soggy (lettuce, tomato, pickles and onions). Seriously it had to be the smallest tomato slices i have ever seen in my life and half a peice of lettuce, hardly a slice of a onion and two tiny pickles. It did not add to the taste of the burger as there was not enough veggies for every bite. Either a tomato, or lettuce but never both in one bite bc of the portions. The bun also fell apart as i held it and it was very thin that it fell apart as i ate my burger. Overall the burger was okay but i could find a better burger for a few dollars less at so many other places. I wont be rushing back and id much rather go to wendys, harveys, or fatburger for a significant price difference with better quality.
Definitely one of my favourite burger spots in the city when I want something quick. Their burger patties are nice, juicy and thick! They have some pretty creative (and intimidating) options. My favourite is the Holy Smoke...double patty, cheese, and deep fried jalepenos. They also have a gourmet Big Mac option called the High Priest. Their poutine and milk shakes are also very good. For the scary stuff (as in scary for your heart), check out their "secret menu". I was pretty excited when I heard this T.O. export came to town. Pro-tip: like most burgers, they should be enjoyed fresh off the grill. I've made the mistake of ordering through a food delivery service and the experience was pretty lack lustre. It's much better when I order online, then pick it up fresh from the shop, and I'll eat it in the car. With this pandemic, we've grown used to these "car picnics".
Being the closest burger place to my office, i came here for a lunch. I reached around 1 pm and it was completely packed up. I placed my order of Chicken low priest and had to wait for around 15-20 minutes for order. I relished the combination of fried chicken, Burger Priest's secret sauce, jalapeño and american cheddar served in a sesame seed bun. Rating: Taste: 4/5 Ambience:3/5 Service: 4/5 Value for money: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 ( I would love to explore other items on their menu as well on my next visit)
Why five stars? Because the team there is awesome and it makes the food taste even better! Went there the past two nights and 3 times total in my Edmonton stay, I'm addicted to the tokens. Anyway the staff Monday night and Tuesday night were awesome, I came in close to closing around 945 and instead of being annoyed like a lot of places they were accommodating and choice choice pieces of chicken. For my sandwiches. Thanks guys can't wait to come back!
This is probably my new favourite fast food/high end burger place in Edmonton... and that's saying a lot. Particularly as I'm not religious at all and found their original marketing campaign for this location to be frustrating/annoying, I'm surprised to be giving it this high of a rating, but the food is just plain delicious so I can't fault them on this too badly. It is not as if they're shoving religion down my throat or anything -- in fact the clean restaurant has some of the most delicious burgers I've had in a long time -- the meat is made into patties here and the cheese is absolutely so good -- I've only tried two burgers on the menu but totally look forward to trying more! And even the simple ice cream float and milkshakes are good (I need to have a milkshake next time). But yeah I think my default is going to be a cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato and occasionally I'll splurge for the pricier options too. But yeah. Go at non peak times for the least lineups (eg. not during lunch hour or between 5-8pm on weekdays -- I've had good luck going at 4pm or 4:30pm!). When you pay you'll get a number. When they call your number, be sure to drop it in the bin they have for numbers and pick up your meal. The seating area is more comfortable on the tall stools as they have back rests to them rather than the backless short stools. I love the fact that the tomatoes taste like tomatoes and not like water. I like the portabello mushroom in the option (and the ooey gooey cheese!). I enjoy the meat patty the most but I'm sure to be trying more items as time goes on because it really is a delicious spot for a burger in downtown Edmonton!
When it comes to great juicy burgers, this should be one of the first thing that comes to mind! You should make the most of that walk friendly location as you are heavy when you walk out of there. It has a great location,downtown doorstep, it's perfect for that feel me up before/after going out. It is a longer than normal wait fast food but the burgers are worth the wait. Very, very tasty burgers that are a bit pricey. They do not offer meal combo so it gets up there. I had the Token with a side of fries. The Token is everything I want in a chicken burger. I really enjoyed the mix of hot sauce and blue cheese in there. I believe the fries are made with sweet potatoes. All in all, when I crave a burger, that's where you'll find me!
Love the free communal parking lot nearby. Easy to read menu. Friend was happy with her double bacon cheeseburger. Fries were made fresh to order so were nice and hot. The Priest burger. Wish the battered mushroom had more mushroom. Had this weird cheese in it which didn't melt really and was more globby. Beef was cooked fresh. Milkshake was good. Not too sweet or artificial. Overall decent burger joint. read more

I used to love their option burger. A portabella mushroom stuffed with poet gooey cheese. Delicious. Until today. The pickle is bigger than the 'burger'. Come on. I'm sure this is a button mushroom not portabella read more

Came here and got the High Priest burger solo with no bun to-go. The flavors were delicious however the burger was over-cooked and on the dry side (which ruined it). Reminded me of a flame broiled whopper, with the secret sauce but I must say BK whopper is more delicious than the burger I tried here. I would like to try this place again, order something else and add fries. read more

You've truely never had a burger until you've gotten a burger from The Burger's Priest! I had the heavy which was the perfect combination of lettuce a special sauce meat patty pickle breaded Jalapeño. It was truely an amazing burger, I wanted to take a bite close my eyes and savour every taste! Amazing doesn't come close to describing it! My boyfriend had the Vatican City, which is a MONSTER of a burger! The buns are grilled cheese sandwiches and in between you have the juiciest patty that truly tasted fresh! Ordering from skip is always hit or miss, how long is this going to take to get to me and how soggy is the bun going to be ? Well these burgers held up to the challenge! This is a bucket list burger place! Now If only I could take it back to my home town with me! read more

I must have gotten yesterday's chicken burger (The Token) and they compensated by saucing it so much my bun was soggy and falling apart. This was disgusting and not even close to being worth what I paid. Sorely disappointing. read more
Absolutely. Yes. Yes. Yes. Listen up I was apprehensive to come here seeing some negative reviews. But oh my priest I'm so glad I tried it anyways - it's so good! Firstly, there is nothing wrong with a big ol' burger BUT quite frankly that is the theme of every burger place I go to - the bigger the better. But ladies it's not the size of the boat am I right? Their burgers run smaller but honestly I don't want to feel sick after eating and these are the perfect size. On top of this they offer single and double sizes so if you have a bigger appetite then you should find satisfaction in their bigger burgers. I ordered the California single and it was so reminiscent of a grilled cheese - which may sound like a bit much but it really wasn't. Like I said, it was the perfect size and definitely curved my cravings. If you think the burger may lack in size then you won't be disappointed with the fries - they were massive and delicious. I'm already dying to go back! read more
I actually really liked the burgers here! I got the Vatican one time and the California classic another. Both were greasy and delicious - just what I want in a burger. You don't need to order fries unless you're really hungry. Or you could share the fries between a couple of people. Overall I did like burgers, they are massive. And for anyone who doesn't eat beef, you can replace the beef with chicken. Just don't get the chicken burger itself as the gravy is beef gravy. :) read more
Burger. Fantastic! Service. A little on the rude side. Fries. Well...they looked much better than they tasted. California Classic Single. Fresh. Juicy. Well seasoned. ~$8.00. Really enjoyed this burger. Service. Seemed a liitle annoyed I didn't know the process. When they call your number, a woman yells from behid a counter that's franky as tall as I am. Then she turns away. Then she calls again. I dont recall seeing any of the usual "order here" and "pick up here" signage. I'm also pretty sure that having to tell me that they only sold cans of pop was troublesome for her. Chilli Cheese fries. Looked so very good. Tasted...unfortunately quite bland. Overall. I would certainly like to try more offerings from their burger lineup... But I will never again go out of my way to eat here. read more

When I got to burgers priest I opened yelp to read a few reviews and find out what's good. The consistent theme seemed to be that all of their burgers are pretty good and that their fries are "soggy". I made the decision to order the bacon double cheeseburger with secret sauce, mayo and ketchup with tomato and pickle on the side. For the fries I asked to have them well done. The burger was awesome, it wasn't too big despite being a double and all the items went well together. I really liked it. My buddy got the fries cooked regular. I thought the regular fries were good, but the well done fries were even better. So next time you head in ask for your fries well done, you will be happy you did! read more

What an awesome burger. I had the bacon double cheeseburger with "smoke" added, everything went together well and it tasted about perfect. The fries are really good, I have to remember to order them well done so they won't be soggy. I have been here several times, the quality is consistent and always good. Portions are just right for the burger and the order of fries is huge! My favorite place to go when I'm craving a burger. read more
The Burger's Priest made a huge splash when it announced it was coming to Edmonton. It seemed that a lot of people were excited to see this open. I visited it a few weeks after it opened hoping to avoid the crowds of people that wanted to try it out. That didn't work out for me! I dropped by on a Thursday after lunch hour even and it was still packed. Not a seat left in the house. The line-up wasn't too long and actually moved pretty quickly. Walking in you immediately get hit with the great smell of fresh beef being cooked. It really reminded me of the smell walking into Fuddruckers when they were still in Edmonton. I had the High Priest Burger (double cheeseburger) and Fries. Cost was about $14 without a drink. The burger was nice and juicy and fell apart quite easily because they don't use any filler and binders. Taste was great! The buns are pretty basic but a step above a typical fast food bun. Toppings seemed nice and fresh. The fries were the big let down for me. they were kind of greasy and I must have drawn the short stick on the fryer because a good majority of my fries were the little end nubs and not nice sized fries. The small fries are just greasier because of their size I imagine. I didn't have a drink but your options are either 1. their homemade shakes which I heard were awesome or 2. bottled pop, water and juice. Bottom line: I like the place. The burgers were pretty good. Disappointed in the fries but will give them another chance. I need to try the milkshake! read more
