| - 4.5/5
I'm going to start with the cons, since there's only one main one, which is that they only accept cash, which in this day and age, is insanely annoying. I'm gonna say it to every vendor, please accept debit and credit cards, it makes it easier to spend our money at your location. I should add that there is a TD just around the corner, so it kind of helps, but only if you're a TD bank account holder. That's the only con.
Ok let's get to the burger already! I ordered the cheeseburger (I wanted to keep it simple) with fries, my buddy, who is a vegetarian, got the option (which is two portabella mushrooms with cheese between, breaded and deepfried). It took just under 10 minutes for the order to come through, even though it was a full house.
The burger was a foodgasm in my mouth! It was so tasty, and easily one of the best burgers I'd tasted in ages (and let's be honest here, I'm pretty promiscuous with my burger eating habits...). It was a fairly small cheeseburger, but good value for what you get, and it was more on the soft side of the burger spectrum, as opposed to the patties that are harder these days.
Surprisingly, I liked that aspect, and it just melded everything together really well. The fries were simple, yet delicious (it's hard not to eff these up). From what my buddy ordered, he said the option was super tasty, but buyer beware, this can be really hot right after ordering, so don't bite into it too soon. BE PATIENT YOU PIG. In the future, I'd recommend getting a cheeseburger with the option in it, and skip the fries, since this will fill you up real good.
As for the service, the woman at the cash was super nice and friendly. That's about the only interaction I had with the staff. One cool thing she mentioned to me when I asked her if I could recycle my can was that they subscribe to a garbage/recycling sorting service which sorts everything out, even if it goes in the same bin, so good for you guys!
Atmosphere-wise, you're in a small space full of people with one common goal; eat burgers, so it's pretty sweet. I actually like the fact that within this small space, an ethos of friendship is fostered between burger-craving humans. Asking strangers if you can borrow a seat if it's not being used, or even squishing in beside a stranger wouldn't seem like such cardinal sin here, which is kind of nice in Toronto. Rejoice in burgerism with others and make some friends while you're here :)
