The Works Gourmet Burger opened up near my house awhile ago and I've been meaning to check it out for awhile. I've been obessed with Five Guys Burger and Holy Chuck for awhile so that's why it took me awhile to drop by.
I dropped by for lunch on a weekday to find the restaurant almost full with financial crowd. They have a nice rooftop patio that is open during summer which is worth checking out.
Once we walked in, we were seated immediately and were given a menu that was couple pages long. They offered so many options for the burger itself that it took me awhile to make my decision. All of their burgers are made with 100% Canadian beef and they take pride in all the fresh ingredients that goes into their burger.
Ordered: Hamburger Mary 3/5
* Served with mayo, egg, tomato, cheddar cheese and bacon for $14.77
* Ordered with sweet potato fries and diet coke
* You can choose your own artisan buns from white, multigrain, bunless or gluten free
* Burger patty was cooked just right
* Overall I found the burger to be under-seasoned even after I added extra ketchup and relish
* We had to add extra salt and pepper to have some flavor
* Sweet potato fries were probably one of the worst I had
* They were soggy and limp, even the spicy mayo dip couldn't save it
Ordered: Three Ring Binder 3/5
* Served with fried mushrooms, chipotle mayo, gouda cheese and 3 O-rings for $13.97
* Ordered with french fries and ginger ale
* I personally enjoyed this burger more than 'Hamburger Mary'
* Onion rings added nice crunch to the burger
* Again, the burger wasn't seasoned right and I had to add quite a bit of salt and pepper
* I personally like crispy fries and wasn't a fan of these, they were soggy
Summary: Overall, I wasn't too impressed with my meal at The Works Burger. I could tell that the burgers were good quality and all the ingredients were very fresh, but I didn't like the fact that I had to add so much extra condiments on my own. If they worked on their limp fries, I am willing to go back for another try though.
