The Works Gourmet Burger Bistro is a chain that opened shop in the Bloor West Village sometime in November.
The menu is very extensive, some might say overwhelming. After a few minutes I decide on the BT Breakfast Burger which comes with real mayo, fried egg, ripe red tomato, cheddar cheese & crisp bacon strips ($13.95) which is accompanied with a side order of fries and I add a ginger ale (bottomless for $2.91) to wash it down.
The drink came in a measuring cup which was kind of odd and the burger and fries were served in a baking pan. The burger was a decent size and it was good but not great, they use fresh Canadian beef and it's cooked medium well. I had asked if I could get it medium but they said they cannot do less than medium well, as result the burger was little bit dry but the seasoning was fine. One thing that surprised me was the quality of the fries. The fries are fresh cut and lightly seasoned and crispy but not too crispy, I find fries in most burger places to be too soggy or too crispy.
Overall, it's a good burger that's a decent size with really good fries. The servers are attentive, informative and friendly. It was pretty busy on a Saturday around the lunch hour.
