I heard through the Yelp Vine that there was a place downtown that had a very solid burger, possibly the best burger in Toronto. That is one of the things that makes me sad about this fine city, the lack of a fantastic burger joint. Even though this isn't a burger joint I had to find out what the fuss was about.
They gave us the option to sit downstairs or in the lounge and we chose the lounge. That turned out to be a fantastic idea as they had couches and a large screen tv showing football! I ordered the burger and headed to the washroom. Guys, drink LOTS so you have to use the urinals!!!
After washing my hands (I'm no filthy Yelper) I headed to my table and awaited my burger. The burger arrived and it looked awesome. It's how I expect all pubs should serve up a burger; a home made burger patty on a bun with fresh cut fries. They also came with a side of homemade ketchup which wasn't bad at all. Definitely a lot less sugar than the bottle of Heinz.
I started with the fries and they were solid. I had a bite into the burger and it was a solid burger. Not the best I've had this year but a very solid burger for the places I've tried in TO this year and definitely one of the better ones. The problem is at $17 I won't be coming back often for it but something I definitely had to try. I will probably have a shot at some of the other items on the menu in the feature though.
The staff were super friendly and attentive even though they forgot the extra homemade ketchup.
