| - After hearing so much about The Burger's Priest, we decided to make a day of it in the Beach, and this would be our first stop.
We arrived during lunch hour, and the little place was incredibly busy. I can't say I envy the people working the counter, but they had a demeanour that was almost depressing. The joint itself is very small and the music is loud enough that a few customers that went up couldn't hear the cashier; you're best off heading out to one of the parks around.
Now on to the food itself. The meat they use for the burger is ground on the spot, and you can tell. It's very soft and juicy, even being well done. The bun is just your average store bought quality, and the cheese on the burger taste very processed. The burger is not over flowing with flavour as it is, and having a better cheese could have gone a long way to helping.
But the thing to complain about the most is the size of the burger. It's tiny, and not just for the size. I'd be surprised if you could find such a small burger at any other place in the city. For what you're paying, it's really disappointing.
We also had a side of fries. They tasted great and fresh, although the fries were incredibly soggy in a little bag. They were okay, but once more.. the portion is small.
After we finished lunch, we were both disappointed by the cheese burgers and fries. The Priest offers a 'secret menu', which can be found by Googling the term. We'll have to try an item, or two from the menu, but I don't believe it'll change my opinion. We paid $17 for two burgers, fries and a coke. This might seem in line with a place like BQM, a bit further west, but when you consider the portions are half the size and you're not receiving anything special toppings wise, it boggles the mind.
When we're in the neighborhood, we'll try them again, but I put them in with the ranks of Chippy's & Burrito Boyz right now. Everyone flocks there because it's hip, but I don't know why.
