| - has to be in my top three burger joints now. came here on the recommendation of a boss in my company and was not disappointed in the least. walked in to a bit of a line up, but a very bright restaurant with windows facing the direction of a sunset, and we were here to pick up dinner. when we got through the line up and placed our order, I picked one of the signature chicken burgers and one of the build your own turkey burgers. I was promptly told that my signature burger was set in stone, couldn't take away any topping and could not add any on to the burger...a bit strange, but I enjoyed what the piri piri version had to offer. my significant other ordered a milkshake to go along with our food which was hand made. stood in line to get our food after payment, and the topping selection is kind of over whelming, from simple stuff like lettuce tomato onions and sauces ketchup mustard and relish, to premium free toppings such as jalapeno sour cream, mango chutney relish and Guacamole at no extra charge. with other more premium items being at extra charge (cheese and bacon) at the time of the burgers being made, one lady was doing the fixing of the burgers and one guy was doing the burgers on the grille. even though they weren't directly near each other they were very much a fluid team, which is rare to see, but always a treat to me. I was again reminded that my toppings for the piri piri burger was set in stone, to which I agreed, but when it was time for turkey, I asked for awesome toppings. after all this we grabbed our food and went home to munch on everything.
the flavors of the piri piri were outstanding, even if it was on the mild side, but the build your own turkey burger was astounding in every way, I also had poutine(of course) to go with this which I have to say, this place has a really amazing, rich and dark gravy which brought everything together.
a wonderful amount of parking is available, with a little of a crazy parking lot to get to and through.
transit options are the 110 islington south, and the 80 Queensway if you want to do a bit of walking.
was really happy with my experience/transaction and I can't wait to come back!
5+/5!
