| - Okay so for the first time I finally went to this place and you know what? I'm not going back. Basically Apache burger is:
Expensive, dry, and flavourless with very average (or below) tasting fries and onion rings.
I ordered the basic hamburger (I find this is a good measure of whether or not a restaurant's burgers are up to scratch or not) and the fry+ring option (fries and onion rings together in the same box).
The hamburger bun was huge and pretty decent, but the burgers were extremely thin and only had finely diced onions in them with no seasoning whatsoever. The bun was too big and the patty was too thin.It made the hamburger way too dry and tasteless. And keep in mind I put almost EVERYTHING on my burger: Ketchup, mustard, relish and all the veggies. Definitely one of the worst tasting burgers I have ever had. I mean it seems like they acutually make their own patties but could they not add some seasoning and make them slightly thicker so they at least taste like SOMETHING in that mountain of a bun?
Since they seem to make their own patties, what is the point if they taste the same (actually they were more flavourless) than the frozen ones?
In addition, the rings and fry box was very expensive at over $4 and was the size of one of the smaller boxes at McDonalds. Neither the fries nor rings were salted (I guess this is good for some but if the salt isn't put on when they are freshly deep fried it doesn't stick to them and they taste bland). Any bar/Hero Burger/McDonalds/almost anywhere else has better fries. I don't know why people rave about these ones so much.
The place has NO combos and as a result a BASIC hamburger with the fries and ring box mix option (which was so small) was around $9.90 with NO drink. Such a ripoff.
Unlike other comments I have seen, the service we had was pretty good, but sadly the food was not.
If you do decide to go to Apache and try them out, keep in mind they only accept cash. Thank you so much Apache burger for thinking this is still 1982.
Seriously, Licks, South St., Golden Star, Hero, Burger's Priest, Johnny's (in Scarborough) have better fries, are cheaper, and have MUCH better hamburgers (except for Johnny's, theirs are flavourless too but at least aren't as dry as their buns are slightly smaller with larger patties).
Bye bye Apache. I wanted to love you as you seem like a traditional burger joint. Sadly, you just don't cut it. And I LOVE burger joints. And you know what, when it comes down to it, how hard is it to screw up a burger?
