| - My daughter sends me a link explaining how (yet another) condo is being built, now on the site where Steer Inn Burgers is. And, they are going to reconstruct from the same restaurant, the New Steer Inn on top of the condo that is going on this piece of land. Ok, seriously? That will never happen. When the land is turned into a condo, and unfortunately, that will indeed happen. It will be the end of Steer Inn. Before I tell you what to order there, let me continue. The fellows who work the grill, have been there forever. When I read this lying link about the reconstruction, I went for lunch to Steer Inn to find out what's going on. I guess from the response to my question, these guys are being bombarded with the same question. The guys there do NOT own the land that the restaurant is on. If/when it does go, so do they. One fellow is 70 years old. Working keeps him going. And he does work hard. So, when they finally cooled down, they explained to me that this internet story is a bunch of crap. And indeed, if/when they close, they will then be forced to enjoy some retirement.
My burger joint finally came to a close many years ago, "Hamburger King" just north of Glencairn on Bathurst, on the east or west side, depending on your time line. Once these comfort food places are gone, they are not replaced.
Ok, enough, the food: Burgers are great, not the smash type, but still a great burger. The fries (must have with gravy,) are home cut. The onion rings are second to none in the city. If you are a fan of rings, go for that alone. Souvlaki on a bun is always delicious. Chicken fingers and fries are real chicken, not those nugget thingies. Give it a try before it is gone. When its gone, it will not be on top of a condo. It will be going places way higher than that.........sadly.
