Burger Revolution

The glowing reviews and high Unilocal rating convinced the wife and I to stop here for lunch, and we were not disappointed. Very creative menu and quality ingredients will make this my goto stop when passing through Bellville.

Faaaaaantastic! We made a point of stopping at the Burger Revolution on our way from Hamilton to Ottawa. Boy what a great decision!
I could not possibly overstate the quality of the food! When you take your first bite your mouth EXPLODES with freshness and flavour.
The menu is packed with inspired, creative offerings. The problem with the menu … too many amazing options to choose from. I’ll have to return again and again to try them all. Thankfully they offer such substantial portions that I got to eat my own food … and then to finish my wife’s and son’s as well.
And the fries… Oh the fries!!! My wife says she’d never had better coleslaw. I’d have to agree.
We got there at 2pm so the owner /​chef Jeffrey Camacho had time to come out of the kitchen and talk to us. What a great guy. We also appreciated that he buys all of his ingredients fresh from local sources.
I think the only thing to say about the Burger Revolution … You Gotta Eat Here!
P. S. Jeffrey, don’t be surprised if you see us again on our way home.

Pros
— pretzel burger bun was tasty
— fries were seasoned nicely with a hint of thyme
Cons
— found hair in my fries
— beef burger patty was over cooked to the point that it was burnt

I really want to love Burger Revolution. It’s such an easy place to stop for lunch between Toronto and Ottawa. And they source good ingredients. But in spite of asking for the burger cooked to order — which they say they can do! — they’ve never got it right.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a decent burger. The beef is local, grass fed, etc. so it’s better tasting than your standard all-​beef patty, but when you can’t have it cooked the way you like you give up a lot of the benefit of using that nicer beef. There are lots of toppings, but good toppings don’t make a good burger. The execution just isn’t what it could be. .
Fries and poutine are also decent.
Still, a good place to stop for lunch and just off the highway.

Absolutely solid.
Menu is a bit overwhelming, but lots of good choices. Locally raised beef, locally sourced cheese, lots of great fresh ingredients, and good friendly service.
I was impressed. A lot of these tarted up burger joints don’t really blow my mind, but this one is solid.

The cost is high but great burger place. Food is great and service as well.

I think it was the best burger I’ve ever had. The fresh, grain-​fed local beef was amazing. Creative menu. Fresh. Delicious. I’ll fondly remember the Chèvre Guevara for a very long time.
The vegan gravy may not be for everyone and seating is limited. But the crisp, lightly seasoned fries, the amazing beef, great pretzel bunsand the menu make this place a must.

It’s a good burger.
My mind wasn’t blown though.

I am not sure if I Gotta Eat Here at Burger Revolution. Just maybe I should not have order the Sliders Tuesdays Special — 2 for $ 11.
I have to give Burger Revolution the credit of all these unique toppings and combinations. I was staring at the menu for the longest time and not even sure «Which» one?!
We ended up getting:
THE REBEL
Roasted Garlic Mayo, Potato Chips, Tomato, Lettuce, Cheddar, Jalapeño Slices, Avocado Spread
THE ROYAL RIZAL
Caramelized Onion, Blue Cheese, Bacon, Red Pepper Jelly
Getting a smaller size version of the above burgers as a slider was not a good idea as the meat itself was thinner and ended up being drier and the taste profile/​combination ended up being off because of the mini size. I ended up not able to taste all the components. But I did like the idea of having potato chips in my burger!
We also upgraded our fries to poutine. The cheese curds was so squeaky! Love that! And it is gluten free. not that it matter to me as long as it tasted good!
The wait time was really really long and the place was not busy. I almost fell asleep waiting for my order… or did I really fell asleep?!
Burger Revolution would definitely worth a visit to try out their burgers. I Gotta Eat Here again but I want a full order and poutine with my burger!

Stopped off hwy after reading Unilocal reviews, had double burger and chili fries, ground beef is flavorful and chili is delicious. Can easily compete with premium burger joints like burger priest, works, big smoke etc.
Cool theme to the restaurant and great location off the 401

Small quick burger place just off the highway. Fantastic. I stopped here for a quick bite while travelling through hoping to get something tastier than the classic fast food joint. I was not disappointed! The signature burger with the blue cheese caught my eye with a topping new to me —
Red pepper jelly. Wow! What a great flavour addition. The bacon was exceptional — usually I hate the added fat but the bacon here was incredibly flavourful and well cooked. Buns were not my favourite but held the burger together well which was welcome because otherwise the mess would have been huge.
Thank you for encouraging reviews to allow travellers like myself a wonderful option for quick dinner on the way through!

Great place for lunch or dinner! Don’t tell anybody but I had fries too! Yum yum yummy!

Fantastic place! Great food and very nice waiters. I had a vegetarian and gluten free utopian burger, which was absolutely delicious. The fries were great as well. One of us had the utopian burger wrapped in lettuce which was great as well.
The meaty burgers were very delicious, too… as I was told.
We’ll definitely be back…

This NEEDS to be in Toronto.
All their burgers are pretzel buns, which can be good or bad, depending if you’re a fan or not. Obviously I am. I found that it makes the burger’s texture different with more depth and flavour. Everything was fresh and warm — The Rebel was amazing — the roasted garlic mayo was very flavourful without being overly salty, but if it’s your first time there try the La Revolution.
The burgers were a good size, but if you’re having dinner there you might as well make it a combo (their onion rings’ batter taste way better than the generic ones you would get at other places). The atmosphere was relaxed, with a fun wall of post-​its from visitors. The restaurant was clean and organized — not rowdy or too crowded like you would expect at Hero’s, which made it a comfortable and enjoyable visit.
It’s probably ranked the #1 restaurant in Belleville considering the limited number of restaurants they have, but it was definitely worth the visit and the ranking.

When I was in Belleville, I searched Unilocal for ‘Restaurants’ and this is the first hit I got. Let’s just say I’m on board with this particular revolution.
The burgers are definitely up there in quality, both in portions as well as variety. Their menu wall is updated monthly with different monthly specials. I stuck with the classic ‘La Revolution’ burger ($ 6.25) with bacon added, while others got the Rebel. The patty is off course of a high quality, and is of a decent thickness. Toppings are standard on the Revolution, but I counted at least two big strips of bacon in my burger, so they definitely don’t skimp on the toppings here!
Décor is fun, with a Post-​it wall of drawings from diners, as well as pictures of the time this place was from You Gotta Eat Here.
Anyway, the owners definitely deserve credit for shaking things up here in Belleville. Will make this a regular stop if I’m in this neck of the woods again.

Excellent burger joint for a town that consists of mostly chain restaurants. If you are driving by on the 401, or are taking a trip to Prince Edward County (like I was!) then this is the place for you. It was on You Gotta Eat Here, and I’d say John Catucci was right… you do gotta eat here (if you are in the area).
The burgers are pretty solid, though the best part is definitely the pretzel bun. The signature burgers have a lot of fun toppings, and I love the revolutionary theme to all the menu items. My girlfriend got the signature Rebel burger with Roasted Garlic Mayo, Potato Chips, Tomato, Lettuce, Cheddar, Jalapeño Slices, and Avocado Spread. I opted for the classic (La Revolution) with a bunch of toppings including the chairman mayo (spicy). La Revolution is definitely the best band for your buck at 6.25, and I also got it as I was planning to get The Amnesty Poutine (Pulled Pork, Bacon, BBQ sauce, Curds, Gravy on Fries) to wash it all down. The large poutine is quite massive, and I definitely planned to share it with my girlfriend and I have no regerts. It would definitely be a meal for one person, but I’m not sure I’d want to eat all of it as a meal… Definitely delicious though, and love that the gravy was hot enough to make the curds melt. Nothing worse than a poutine with unmelted curds…
Would definitely hit this place up again if I had the chance.

I was surprised how good this places was! I was reluctant to try it since Belleville is not known for unique places and I thought The Works was my go to place.
When you walk in it does feel like a cool place to be, hip menu on a chalkboard as well. The burgers were delicious and possibly one of the best I have ever had!
Negatives: Just a bit cramped and the staff wast as friendly or helpful as I thought they would be.
You have to try this if your in Belleville.

Coming from Toronto where there is an abundance of fantastic gourmet Burger places I was excited to enjoy what Belleville and the Burger Revolution had to offer. After a day at the beach my family and I arrived and placed our orders, (which we had decided the day before) I ordered the Outlaw, which was the burger of the month. With this burger I wasn’t entirely inspired, but my mom ordered the Viva which was spectacular. The combination of egg, sriracha hot sauce, spam, pineapple, and ghost pepper spread provided a unique and yummy tasting burger.
The poutine, fries and onion rings were quite good.

Tasty!
Great menu. Solid burger with the topping choices being the super stars of the menu.
We stuck to the things that we saw recommended here on Unilocal,with great success. I had the Chevre Gauvare, The Boy got the Rebel and Hubby got Malcolm Extreme. All were delicious and got gobbled, inhaled, wolfed down. Yes, we loved our meal. (Daughter stuck to plain basic cheeseburger — hers was good too, but not raving good like ours.)
Poutine was good — we’d probably try straight fries the next time. (The burgers are a good size — not sure we really need fries at all.)
Would I return: One of the best meals I’ve ever had in Belleville. (Belleville has not, in the past, been known for it’s restaurants — this is a welcome addition to the food scene.)
Would I recommend: Yes!

One of my favourite spots off the 401. I love driving to Ottawa just because I get to stop here as a pit stop. Trust me, take the 5 extra minutes off the highway to find this spot, so very worth it.
Inventive menu, amazing fries and friendly. The place is easy to love, sometimes it takes a bit long (one time over 20 mins) but overall very quick and seriously the best burgers in Ontario. I’ve tried a lot of burger places and burgers all over Toronto — Harbord Room, Marben, Burger Priest, Ten Restaurant etc and this place keeps up with them.
Such a treat and try their unique burgers, the peanut butter one was out of this world, I somehow kept some for my boyfriend to show him. Having that in my car for over 2 hours was no easy feat but seeing his expression was priceless.
