    Burger's Priest is among the pack of leaders in Toronto's burger race. While Burger's Priest holds its own, it's no Holy Chuck, which has better burgers, fries, and shakes! Don't get me wrong, the burgers here are creative and delicious. But the fries and shakes are average. Burger's Priest is the closest thing Canada has to In N Out, and while In N Out mirrors Burger's Priest by having good burgers, yet average fries and shakes, the prices at In N Out are much lower than Burger's Priest. In other words, good every now and then, but there are certainly better options out there.

    Was craving burgers for lunch and haven't had Burger's Priest in so long! We got 2 cheese burgers and a holy smokes. Along with that, we got fries and gravy. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't warm up the bun. The bun was cold and meh, the burger patty itself was nice and juicy! For whatever reason, even though we ordered the same burger, one cheese burger was saltier than the other? I always forget to never order fries, the fries here are not good- soggy and crumbs like.

    Not the first time I've been disappointed by this place but I decided to give it another try. I ordered some chili fries thru Uber eats and I literally got burnt fries covered in cold chili....mm what in the f? Really?, no quality check before going out the door. Never ever coming back or recommend it to anyone at all.

    Key Features: The Option... So here's the deal - everyone says this is the best burger in the city. And it's a tasty burger. It is. There's no denying how tasty it is. And, when they put "the option" on top, well - that's a little something special as well. What is this option? It's a giant mushroom, stuffed with cheese, deep fried. Sounds good right? But to get it on your burger - you're looking at ten dollars. Ten dollars! You just made the trek all the way out the east end of Toronto. Some might argue, they should be paying you for taking the trip - but, no, the East End is growing, and - so - why shouldn't it have a lovely little burger joint? If you charged me ten bucks for a burger, I'd sit there - I'd eat it. I'd like it. But the thing is, you can't sit there. You just can't. Eating inside is not allowed. And there's nowhere around to go. So, either you spend twenty minutes walking to the beach, and eating it there - by which time your burger is cold. Or, you sit in the KFC parking lot, and scarf down your meat-wich. This aspect? It's not ideal. Sure, the burger's good. It's really tasty. On its own, there's no reason not to love it. The option makes it a flavour treat you can't get anywhere else. But - the price? That takes it down a peg. The inability to actually enjoy your meal, due to seeking a place to eat it? That takes it down a peg. Go there once, say you've done it, and appreciate the experience. If you have a friend with a car - trick them into taking you back. After all, that burger tastes a lot better sitting in the passenger seat, than it does sitting, cold, on the curb. But, if you're looking for a good meal, well - there are probably better... options... out there. Ohh - and it should be noted, one ten dollar burger probably won't fill you. So, that's strike three, I guess.

    All the hype and I finally have a taste of Burger's Priest burger and see what it is all about... Cheeseburger the most basic one with no drinks or fries comes to ($5.25). Saturday night was so busy.. and ended up waiting for 20 minute+ in the little room for my burger to get ready... Is it worth it?? I have to say not really... at least for my basic burger.. it is really cooked with a tray of unseasoned medium looking ground beef and then form into the shape of a patty and pan fried them until it is cooked.. (Now maybe I can try doing that at home) The burger itself is quite small.. tiny... and I can imagine eating that as a snack... and still be hungry....(the cheap side of me talking!) I should have go for the option.. seems like people are more impressed with the options... The staffs here are really nice.. but I almost want to laugh when he asked if I going to eat in... I want to ask where?! The little shop is full of people standing around waiting for their order........that taking forever to be ready!

    This is the third Burger's Priest location that I've been to and the space is as small as the other ones. I don't like how they never make the restaurant bigger, offer more seating space, and just allow a better environment for all the people constantly lining up. It took me a good 20 minutes from the time that I started lining up to when I got my food. It was so hot in the store that by the time I got to the counter I wasn't really craving for a hearty, cheesy, fatty, greasy burger anymore, so I opted for a small Peter's Denial instead. It was like $6 ish after tax and when I got my food I was very disappointed. The burger/sandwish was pretty small and just didn't look good at all. Trust me I tried my best to take a good photo out of it. Taste wise it was like meh, the gravy was like something made from powder, the meat was kinda dry and over cooked, and the corn was definitely not fresh, probably made from frozen corn. I don't believe the Peter's Denial was worth the price I paid and the lineup experience was terrible. Oh and the cash only rule bugs me. Next time, if there will be a next time, I'll just order online beforehand to avoid the painful lines.

    Cannot get fresher than this! Burger meat was fresh, moist, and unfrozen. The size was smaller than I expected. I got the Fiery Furnace. Although I expected some spiciness, I ended up tasting nice crispy bacon. I only wish this place had tables and chairs, instead of only 4 bar stools... The space is also very small. I would say it can only fit about 5-6 people, at most. However, This place is not hard to miss. A giant yellow sign with big bold letters is pretty apparent.

    I don't know what I was more excited about: The burger, or the fact I actually found a seat in this busy place. I managed to eat-in here! At 1pm on a Saturday in the middle of Woofstock! Anyway...the fact I ate in here wouldn't mean much if the food wasn't tasty, right? Well, the burger I ordered was, indeed, tasty. I had the blue steel burger this time around (had a different one in the Queen West location). Pretty basic burger, so if they can't even do this one good what makes me think other burgers would be worth the price? Thankfully, the patty was extremely juicy and full of wonderful herbs; similar to the Queen West location. The blue cheese was thick and definitely had the blue feel to it. (Your tongue should be blue at the end. If not, they didn't do it right.) Perhaps the bun itself could be improved, but I know their grilled cheese buns are infinite times better. I would probably stick with the Queen West location in terms of seating, and since I'm typically never by The Beaches in the first place. Still lots of love for the original branch though!

    This is a really low end burger, as well as low end fries. Yet, the burger is a premium price.

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!
