Sadly this chain has gone through alot of changes due to the explosion in the number of locations. Nice to see more places but unfortunately the burger has taken a big big hit. I used to sink my choppers into a noticeably juicy slightly pink burger that tasted fresh and way above average. Now you get this spaghetti looking patty kinda like the ones you get frozen from the store. So... loosely packed and it looks like the strands you get from a grinder. I just had a fairly dry and tasteless (except for the condiments_ still good) combo burger for the whopping price of $11.50 before tax... so you are buying a freakin burger and the smallest size fries you can buy plus a fountain drink for 13 bucks. The fries are still good the drink I had was pretty watery so that is not worth anything to me. The burger itself is $6.95 for the 6 oz... People... I would rather spend a bit more and buy a steak at Loblaw right next door ... forget the fries and drink. Now if I were starving I might knuckle under and pay their pound of flesh.
I hate to say it but I have had better burgers from the chain that sells burgers out of gas stations... you know the ones with all the ads on TV. I found those fresher tasting as long as you forego the seasoning salt ... and you know those fries are pretty decent as well. I think South Street is much less value for the dollar in my minds especially since it is just a burger. And the new replacement patty is laughable... like grey matter. Even the good lettuce and tomato cannot save the burger portion. Mediocre patty.
