This place took over the old Pizza Pizza on the corner of Wellington and Church St.
I have been walking by here for weeks in anticipaction after I found out that it was going to be a "Burger joint" ressurected here. Burgers are one of my true weaknesses and I am salivating just thinking about them.
Anyway, the place finally opens and I wander in all starry eyed with my Gf. The place seems pretty cool with a faux industrial decor and cool music playing in the background. The place is packed when we get there.
After studying the extensive menu I decided to go with the Smokey mountain burger with a side of poutine. My gf ordered the Teriyaki melt with a side of onion rings and of course we shared. We also added an egg on both burgers just cause we can. They have several other add-on options to maximize the gourmet burger feel.
My burger was really good! the poutine was also done to my liking. It wasn't the greatest burger I've tasted but I'd say in Toronto standards it would be one of my top 5. My gf's burger on the other hand was boring as hell. LOL . they mixed up our burgers at first and placed mine in front of her. She was laughing at mine becuase it looked so plain and unappetizing. Then I asked the waitress to clarify which burger was which and she apologized about the mix up. MY gf was so sad when she found out hers was the crappy one. LOL. The onion rings were ok I guess nothing too spectacular or different from any other onion rings I've tried and they were crispy.
We ended up coming back here 3 times. Ordering the Smokey mountain burger with egg and poutine for a side. You cant go wrong with this order IMO. The last time we did go though my burger was undercooked, and my Gf's was overcooked. but 2 out of 3 isnt bad. I will keep you guys updated on our next visit.
Toronto needs decent burger places where you can sit and enjoy them.
The service was good each time I went.
This place is on my will visit again list. Hope they keep it up!
