Another old classic that has stood the test of time. Three generations of family have kept this Thornhill landmark going strong. The service is great, beer is cheap and the homemade burger puts just about every chain to shame. Toppings are fresh and if you are lucky enough to see the original owners son, he'll recite the classic lines of 'Golden Star it's the best by far, you can get there by car........' As the flames from the grill leap up a good foot and a half or so.
The decor is probably mostly original from it's opening in 1964, where Yonge St was a drag race haven for old muscle cars in what was a much more rural Thornhill. Now stuck between a massive condo development and a crappy used car dealer it's still an iconic burger joint and not just for the trip down memory lane.
