| - The word of mouth around Ozzy's Burgers has been pretty spectacular since it opened, so I knew I'd have to stop in sooner or later.
We arrived around 12:30 on a beautiful February afternoon and the place was pretty much empty, although it did fill up while we were eating. Though the menu is full of over-the-top concoctions, I wanted to see what their hamburger was like and how it compares to other top-tier joints around the city.
It's pretty good, but far from great.
I decided to go with The Classic ("100% Canadian AAA Beef, Lettuce, Tomato, Pickle, Ozzy's Sauce"). It's certainly quite an appealing burger in terms of its visuals; the patty boasts a beautiful crust, while the toppings were placed with care. But there are a few problems here, all involving the cook on the patty. For one thing, it's been salted way, way too heavily. And although the meat is quite juicy, my burger was cooked all the way to well done.
Aside from those issues, though, I enjoyed the heck out of this hamburger. And at $5 (!!!), it's a steal.
