| - My friends and I visited this new burger joint in Streetsville last night because of Yelp's Burger Binge Week. Burger Legend offered their signature burger, The Great One, for $5...plus a free drink with a check-in on Facebook.
The restaurant is small and the decor is very minimal. With a few tables and bar stools, they also have three TVs (now playing the FIFA World Cup games). The cashier was very friendly and quick to take our orders. We waited about 20 minutes for the food. Even though we had a table, each order came in individual paper bags, which I find was quite wasteful.
Fresh Canadian beef patty, maple-smoked bacon, mixed greens (a.k.a. a bit of lettuce), tomatoes, and Bawss sauce. I really liked the thick slice of bacon, while the bun and beef patty tasted fresh. But overall, I did not find the burger was anything special. My friends and I thought the patty was quite small, too. For $5, it was all right, but I'm not sure it's worth the usual $9 for such a simple burger.
We also ordered a large maple-smoked bacon poutine. The fries were soggy with a generous amount of cheese curds and gravy. I was disappointed to see how little bacon was added... (The maple-smoked bacon was truly the highlight of last night's meal.)
All things considered, it's nice to have a burger joint in Streetsville -- another great option when you are in the area. I am not a fan of The Great One, but I wouldn't mind giving their other burgers a try.
