I tried the Beach/Beaches location a while back but for living close to Yonge and 401, it's definitely a trek. When I found out they were opening a location on Yonge, I was excited... When I found out it would be north of Lawence, I was even more excited.
Since opening about a year ago, this place consistently has long line-ups and inside it's a bit larger than the Beach/Beaches location. It can feel small still as the lines do snake around inside the store and into the seating area, especially if it is cold outside.
The atmosphere is great but nothing fancy. It does however, nod to the "religious" theme for which the name suggests (and lives by).
I've yet to order from the secret menu although I know what's on it but I do find the burgers quite good. It is priced where the gourmet burgers are priced but are perhaps slightly smaller which is often why I go for a double or "the option" which is a panko breaded portbello mushroom and cheese.
The burger cooked on a flat-top and much of the juices stay within the patty during the cooking process. I prefer the cooking method over something cooked over a flame and where some juices can be lost in the process.
Since there are so many burger places to choose from so I don't know yet if this is my favourite but I would be comfortable in endorsing it as one to try... at least once.
