| - The whopping three reviews of this place are all over the map...I'll give my assessment based on my recent visit (and as an out-of-towner).
I was visiting a nearby establishment and so happened to find my way into East York Centre...which was quite interesting and had a vastly diverse crowd. Hero is located just outside the main mall, you have to go outside and was a pleasant find. You walk in and I immediately noticed the Coke Freestyle unit, you can get one of dozens Coke products!
It kind of reminded me of Chipotle mixed with Five Guys...hormone free, Halal certified burgers, with free rein on what you want on your burger. If you're one of those that take FOREVER to make up your mind, do your homework before going in...I managed to figure out they had a a couple "pre-made" options, which kept scrolling by on the LCD menus (annoying!).
I got myself the Signature Combo, which include fries and bottomless soda (thanks to the Freestyle machine!). From what I could gather (when my burger arrived), Signature meant cheddar cheese, Hero sauce, onion and tomatoes (appeared legit). What i thought was creative is the wrapping, unique in a way that allows you to eat your sammich without getting it all over yourself...love it!
Now...the burger was good, but nothing I thought was ultra unique. The cooking was spot on, flavors were good (again, nothing cray cray) and served quickly with friendly service.
If you need a burger, don't want to spend a ton of change...hit this place up!
