| - I needed something quick for a sunday lunch while I was in the area of Yonge and Bloor. I knew of a Craft Burger location that's just a little north of that area.
Now Craft Burgers have slowly been winning the average customer over, but it has also slowly been losing the burger lovers of this city. The decor inside is a nice and simple with a large communal table in the middle of the shop. It's clean and looks like your typical slightly upscale pub. During the lunch hours the crowds do pile in and the wait can be a little longer than usual. Yes, even on a sunday afternoon so prepare to give it around 15 mins from the second you walk in till when you receive your order.
I ordered the cheeseburger poutine combo. Yes, a heart attack just waiting to happen but that's what the gym is for right? *cough cough* I gotta pay them a visit realll soon. =(... *Awkward silence*... Sooooo I topped my burger with Lettuce, pickles, tomato, red onions, mayo, ketchup. And their patties are 6oz of fresh Ontario triple A ground chuck made fresh daily. Sounds great and hey I'm a big supporter of local farmers. So all things looked good.
As expected, it took around 10 mins for my order to come after paying. While waiting they give you these little poles that you put on your table which has your order number. I thought this was a little cute. My burger came and had to inhale that sucker quick due to time constraints. The burger was good. It was cooked medium with just a little pink inside. It retained moisture and it tasted fresh. I'm also aware that at times, they do overcook their patties or the patties just come up dry. The poutine was alright. Nothing special but nothing bad about it. My only complaint would be with getting a poutine, the piece of paper on the tray gets soaked. And as your enjoying your meal, parts of the paper actually break off. So be careful as you're eating your poutine or you might just surpass your daily recommended intake of wood pulp. If I had to re-pick, I'll go for their onion rings instead.
Overall, I like Craft Burger. It's not horribly expensive and I do like their burgers. They may not have a huge selection if toppings like a couple of other burger joints, but they don't need it with their burgers (as long as they're not overcooked and dry). They keep it classy and tasty.
