Without hyperbole, I would say I'm the world's biggest burger fan, ever. Always searching out the finest burgs wherever they may hide. I'm kinda like the Indiana Jones of Burgers.
And Ol' Indiana Burger has found a quiet, unassuming little gem in Harbour Sports Grille, tucked into the bottom of a condo at the foot of Yonge Street - right across from the Toronto Star building.
The decor is standard sports bar - upholstered booths featuring olde-timey sports graphics, lots of TVs, attractive servers - and the place is slammed before/after events at the ACC (so beware).
But...there's something special about an unassuming sports bar that delivers the goods (Burgs) better than places that are far more assuming. I think they make their burgs out of the same prime rib meat that the Keg makes their sliders out of - it tastes quite similar anyway. If you've tried the Keg's little burgs and enjoyed them (which you'd have to be missing your tongue and or brain to NOT enjoy), step up to Harbour Sports' full-sized burgs and be gently dazzled by the simplicity and rich flavour. It made me want to regurgitate my burger so I could eat it again, actually. Then I decided I'd just come back to eat there again. Probably less mess.
Try the Mushroom Swiss burger for added fun, and enjoy it on the patio on a summer evening. With the fountain going in the square the patio sits in, it's a great chill time.
