| - I've been spoiling myself with burgers lately.
GBK may get lost in the shuffle between Big Smoke (formerly Craft Burger), Gourmet Burger Co., and Hero, but it can definitely hold its own within the group. I had a Classic (hold the mustard & pickles) and an order of onion rings, and got a poutine to split as well.
The burger is a good size, not huge, but not tiny (I think the Classic is a 6oz?) and tasted good. It may have been a little bit dry, but I think places like this just aren't allowed to serve food rare, so I can't really complain. The onion rings were great, crispy and large, good amount of batter... but I think there were about 5 in the container. They could use something bigger for rings and squeeze a few more in. The poutine was quite good, and I like the fries here (I guess I tend to like them darker, rather than golden yellow).
Overall a very good option for a downtown burger if you want to go upscale from the typical fast food chains and get something a little more substantial.
