One thing I realized about restaurant trends in Toronto is that there are so many Burger places. Big Smokes being one of them. Big Smokes Burger is so conveniently located a block from my house, did I mention I love living in downtown? everything is so close!
Interior is done quite nicely for a Burger place, there was seating area enough for ~15 people and the high ceilings made the restaurant bigger than it was. Of course I looked at their online menu before I went in, and I have this theory that when you try a restaurant for the first time, you should always try their specialty- something that is named after their restaurant. Therefore, I went with the Big Smoke Burger Combo (horseradish mayo, caramelized onions, smoked cheddar, tomato & lettuce). For $10.75 plus tax, it comes with refillable fountain soda and fries.
My Burger was huge in portion, they claim to only use Ontario AAA beef and fresh ingredients which was quite obvious when I took a bite. The burger was fresh and juicy just as I expected. However, there was too much horseradish mayo in my burger and it was a little salty. Fries on the other hand, was so good! They were perfectly cripsy and piping hot, love love love em! Other than that, it was very good and I would def go back- next time probably try the Craft Burger with sateed mushrooms :)
