| - In my opinion, one of the best old-school charburger joints in the city, similar to Burger Shack and Real McCoy's and MUCH better than Johnny's and Apache.
OUTSTANDING fries, GREAT homeburgers, decent onion rings, crappy shakes but in a bunch of interesting flavours, and (sorry previous reviewer) truly awful from-a-cheap-powdered-mix gravy! I do however agree with another previous reviewer and ask for my burger bun to be double-toasted in the conveyor toaster.
In fact, the only thing preventing me from declaring Golden Star the king of drive-in style burgerdom is the truly horrid gravy that is not only made from a crappy powdered cornstarch mix, but strangely then pre-portioned into dozens of tiny styrofoam cups and is just sitting around under a heat lamp waiting to be ordered!!
Well, that and the halfway-decent, but unfortunately frozen onion rings instead of the amazing hand-battered killers at Burger Shack and Real McCoy's.
ON THE OTHER HAND, Golden Star has amazing homemade burgers (ahem - with extra/double/triple toppings yours for the asking) and really really great fresh-cut fries, which make Golden Star a can't miss choice for a great drive-in charburger.
Cheers
