| - In my quest to not only find the GTA's greatest burgasm-inducing slice of ex-moocow, but to satisfy my ravenous appetite last night, I made a discovery.
After driving around and found most BBQ and burger dealers closed, the one sure thing told me that they were out of burgers. Seriously, are there any sentences as cruel as that at 11pm on a burger-lusting weeknight? I think not. But I pressed on, and stumbled upon Burger Shack!
First, they get a wink for the late hours. There really aren't enough places that stay open this late, or maybe I'm just not looking hard enough.
Inside the restaurant, it looks...how do I put this accurately...like shit.
Seriously, a high school bathroom would appear more hygienic. The tables were fairly clean, but the seats fold down from the table and are probably as comfy as the homeless guy in the parking lot coming in and shanking me in my balls. In case I didn't make the point strong enough, it's uncomfortable.
The cashier seemed a little ticked at yet another customer ruining her night by coming into the joint, but she was polite with me. I ordered two 6oz burgers, and that's it, which were priced just right. The burgers were cooked quick enough to not be McDonalds alarming, and I left. Screw those tables.
When I arrived at home, to my horror, I noticed that one of my burgers was overcooked. Ok, it was burnt, but I'm trying to make the fact that I still ate it seem less pathetic.
The fact that it was scorched aside, it still had some decent taste to it, and I toughed it out.
Burger the sequel was MUCH better, perfectly cooked and tasty. The buns were also very fresh, and I highly approved of it.
In the end, I'd recommend this place as a 'buy it and get the F out' option for night-owl burgies needing a fix, but beyond that, it's nothing special.
