The much praised Burger's Priest is located just a 5 minute drive from Toronto Downtown. This was my first time going east from Toronto Downtown and it was kind of exciting (maybe a little). The drive wasn't very long and we shortly arrived at the Burger's Priest. If you drive there, they have street parking at the front and it's $2 for an hour.
Apparently they always close on Sundays because they go to church (note the burgers PRIEST) because the owners are very religious people. I read couple reviews before going in and many people mentioned how small the store is but obviously I didn't have a good idea until going in.The store is VERY VERY tiny. I wouldn't even say that you can Dine-in in here, all they had were 4 stools against the wall. Usually people do Take out from the Burger's Priest but I decided to Dine-in because I like to be a rebel (but really, it was too cold to do take out and eat it in the park nearby like some reviewers suggested I should).
They specialize in Burgers and Fries, varying from double burger, cheeseburger, the priest burger, fries and chili fries. You can add fried onions or bacon to your burger for a $1 if you wish.
Ordered: Priest Burger - 2.5/5
*Regular Cheese Burger with the 'Priest' (deep fried 2 portobello mushroom with cheese in between) for $9.99 plus tax
*the price does not include drinks or fries
*Bread is soft but it's just too small to hold all the ingredients/toppings that's inside
*Meat patty is cooked to Medium and is juicy throughout
*You get the option of toppings and I just added everything to the Burger (ketchup, pickle, mustard and mayo) because I am just too lazy to pick and choose
*First 2-3 bite of the Burger was really good.
*The soft bun, juicy patty and the crispness of the priest went really well together
*After couple bites, regardless of all the fresh ingredients inside the burger, everything became really mushy and there was no texture
*Taste and Texture was same before you start chewing and after you chew
*Outside of the 'priest' is crispy but the cheese between 2 mushroom patties were cold (so I am assuming these are pre-made and reheated once you order your burger)
*Too much going on in the Burger and it's just a giant mess at the end
Ordered: Chili Cheese Fries 1/5
*French fries drench with chili and topped with cheddar cheese $5.79
*Read reviews about how their fries are not very good so decided to try their chili fries.
*They were just ok and not the best chili fries I've tried
*The fries were too mushy to be made into chili cheese fries
*This just turned into a big mush of potato later
Anyways, thank god I got there early right after they opened because it gets super busy here. Maybe it was my fault for wanting to Dine-in but half way through my burger, there were so many people standing around me it was so uncomfortable. It's just hard to eat when people are elbowing your back as you are trying to hold the burger together. Plus they don't have anything to do while waiting for their order so they just stare at you while you get ketchup all over your face.
Summary:
People working behind the counter wasn't the nicest and the Priest burger was just too much for me in terms of price and taste plus I had hard time even finishing it cause of the texture. It's an interesting idea to have the deep fried portobello mushroom patty in between but I found it to be nothing special and felt like it was over-rated. If I wanted a burger, I would much prefer to visit Big Smoke Burger down the street or even McDonalds.
