| - I was looking for the perfect burger and looked at some of the reviews here. Turns out, the reviews need some revision. Burger Bar is not better than any licks or regular Harvey's. There are many reasons why:
1. its expensive for what you get
2. Unless you order the OMG burger, all others come with basic gourmet topings and nothing else!. I ordered a market burger that came with a pesto spread and blue and brie cheese. I figured it will also come with lettuce, tomato, whatever..I did not ask and it just came like that, plain. The burger as is was ~$12, and you need to add $1 for any extra toppings, not great
3. services was incredibly slow and crappy. Even though there were free tables at the place and no signs of whether we should seat ourselves or get seated, the waitress made us wait 15 mins by the door. We were about to leave when she came and told us to pick any table as there was no hostess and they don't have a seating service. Well, a sign would have been useful, you think?
4. The beers they have are the one good thing, however I will skip on the burgers.
For now, I will continue on my quest for the best burger place in TO. From what I have tried thus far - Craft Burger, Grindhouse, etc. I stick with the Yellow Griffin pub on bloor west village.
