Opening week I was anxious to try this place out after friends raved about South Street Burgers. Was impressed with the topping and spread options! I was on it dressing the burger like a kid in a candy store with eyes glaring at the endless possibilities. Let's just say the first experience was mediocre but I have myself to blame for my inability to dress a burger! Given numerous options other than the standard burger offerings, I butchered the good name of the beloved burger.
Fast forward to my most recent visit- I am happy to report the South Street and I connected on a whole other level.
I decided to seek professional help and allow the South Street connoisseurs work their magic. I ordered the infamous Hawaiian burger- explosion of awesome flavours that I typically wouldn't handpick myself. Sandwiched in between a whole wheat bun selected by moi was ginger glazed pineapple, crispy bacon, wasabi mayo, lettuce, and hot pepper relish. An awesome subtle kick of heat but nothing you fellow Yelpers can't handle.
A side of NY fries and it just can't get any better. I ordered a regular which I felt was small compared to other gourmet burger joints but this girl isn't complaining- less running for me. Found a few undercooked fries which I'll overlook.
Service- was uber fast and friendly! I was asked if I wanted modifiers to my Hawaiian and indicated no at which point was offered up a seat to sit down while I waited for my order. No need to rest those legs- a minute later I was on my way out.
Resto was squeaky clean and that darn burger won me over.
For those wondering- avoid Big Smoke Burger (housed in the food court) unless you're craving a dry patty and burnt fries.
