| - I'm not sure how I feel about the burger I had at Wild Burger. Was the beef patty nicely cooked and flavourful? Yes, albeit a little over-peppered. Was their home made blackberry sauce unique and perfectly suited to the burger I ordered? Absolutely. Other toppings? The ones that were present were good. The bun? The bun was alright, but too much bun for the size of the patty I thought.
The whole of the burger didn't taste greater than the sum of its parts. However, when adding the personable service, relaxing decor and music, delicious sides and five dollar Mill St. pints that come with ordering dinner-the whole becomes something that I haven't found anywhere else in the neighborhood.
I can't help but think that if more of the fare reflected the Canadiana adorning the charming little place I would have liked it more (yielding a simpler menu with more focus on being the best staple burger).
Pound for pound I have to say when I'm jonesing for a big juicy burger in the neighbourhood, I'm probably going to think of Fat Phil's burger. But for having an overall excellent casual dine-in dinner, Wild Burger wins by a landslide.
I'm sure the kangaroo or ostrich burgers live up to the standards of the rest of the food here, but I was most happy about the service, awesome sides, beer, charming ambience and the sauces. The sauces! I walked out after dinner with a couple nicely sized (and reusable) jars of their amazing sauces for only six dollars each!
