Like many other yelpers, I had a just-OK experience at The Works. Toronto's a tough town for burgers when you've got A1 newcomers like Burger Priest & Capitano, and institutions like Allen's and The Pilot, to compete. My previous experience at the Danforth location taught me that these patties are drier than the Serengeti in a drought, so I opted for the Jamacian Jerk with a thick layer of spice, cheese and chilis, and asked for relish on the side just in case the toppings weren't enough to spice things up. This round, the patty was admittedly a little juicer, but I found the Jamacian spices barely came through at all and I was highly tempted to just drown the burger in ketchup and eat it the ol' fashion way.
The verdict: OK burger if you're in a "whatever, I need something to fill my belly now" kinda mood, otherwise give it a pass. There's so many other fantastic burger joints in town that deserve your dollers.
