| - I don't know if John Anderson Hamburger is still owned by the family of John Anderson, but this particular location is a good old fashioned hamburger joint. Tucked in a business plaza at the north east corner of 14th Avenue and Warden Avenue, John Anderson is as unnoticeable as can be. I ordered a home burger ($6; cheese $0.50 extra) and a coffee ($1.50). The burger was made to order. The patty was so big that it covered the complete face of the bun. It was not dry at all, and it was tasty. I asked for all toppings, and the staff was not stingy in piling them up. The coffee was good; it woke me up.
In addition to hamburger, JA also sells salad, sandwich, poutine, Greek food such as gyros and souvlaki, chicken finger, etc.. For breakfast, JA has egg/bacon/toast type of breakfast as well as pastries. This small store is a Jack of all trades. Just a note that the owner is a Greek gentleman, so I suspect that the Greek entrees are okay.
The staffs were very friendly and quick behind the counter.
The decor looks like the store used to be a donut shop. It has many tables. It does not have the vibe of a hamburger joint, but the store is clean, so it is competent as a lunch stop.
Customers kept walking in during my short 30-minute stay. They all ordered the home burger and poutine. I figure that a good hamburger joint is always a neighbourhood favourite.
They accept Visa and Mastercard.
Overall, a solid 3.5 stars hamburger joint.
