| - I came in here as a skeptic but left a believer. While the place has solid reviews, there's not a lot so my expectations were "optimistically low".
But I was actually quite pleasantly surprised if not blown away.
This place is located in what feels like subterranean plaza on the south side of 16 16th avenue off of Bayview, just off of petro canada.
Driving by you can VERY easily miss this plaza.
Entering this place, the decor is very minimalistic, as well as the kitchen. It's a walk up to the counter to order set up. The kitchen seemed empty as well, but things were clean. The person serving us was also very pleasant to deal with.
We ended up getting the classic burger combo, which came with the burger, a can of pop, fries, and 3 different sauce (ketchup, spicy, and "crazy spicy").
After ordering, the checkout also seemed to only take electronic payment methods, not sure if they actually take cash?
We sat down as we waited for our order, and our cook/order taker also brought us our meal to our table.
Upon first looks, the fries were quite nice looking, covered in some green flakes that I want to say is parsley, but could be wrong. 3 different sauces, pop and the burger itself.
When I opened the packaging of the burger it was very subtle but super duper tasty.
It's on a type of sesame bun that was crispy/crunchy on the outside, but melts in your mouth soft on the inside. It held all the juices of the sauces inside the sandwich whee they are supposed to be. A lot of other burger places over look this small but vital detail. Other burgers have nice soft bread, but as you eat the burger all the juices cause the bread to disintegrate.
The toppings and sauces seemed to be middle eastern themed, so pickles, tomatoes etc. Reminiscent of the toppings from a shawarma, so it doesn't have your traditional relish, mustard. The patty itself was very tasty. It's made from fresh chuck, and it shows. When you take a bite, it's juicy, meaty tasting with steam coming out, and just breaks apart in your mouth. It was very easy to chew.
Overall though it's a very unassuming place, all the subtle touches made this an incredibly tasty meal.
Did I forget to mention that the burger patty was also huge? I was absolutely stuffed after eating everything. I was full, but not overly. Some places make such big burgers I feel like I killed a cow after eating and feel guilty and overly stuffed. Other places I leave feeling wanting. This place really pushes the envelope between gluttony and satisfaction.
Overall, it was surprisingly tasty and I wouldn't hesitate to come back. Definitely a very well kept secret in Richmond Hill.
But if your a traditionalist, where you want your mustard, relish etc this may not be the place for you.
