I came here to try their burger and fries for the first time. I was highly disappointment with this place. The food was absolutely horrible. I got a fountain coke which tasted like pure syurp. The burger bun was soggy and the burger was dry and had no taste to it. I ordered spicy fries which were okay but not spicy at all. I wont be back

Came to this location by coincidence as the place we went to try didn’t have any seating. Quite a busy place during lunch. Looked at their menu and i tried their vege burger with spicy fries. The burger was decent looked like a regular burger and tasted quite good but their fries weren’t spicy. The fries were seasoned and then fried. Over decent joint if you want to have a burger.

Real classic burger joint look and feel to the place. However, they go with made fresh daily patties which in nice. Got the gourmet burger and fries and cannot find anything to complain about. Burger was fresh, juicy and well seasoned. Topping were also all fresh and plenty to choose from. Fries were not amazing, but they were real good. Staff was awesome and and the price was great for what I got.

Always excellent food here and relatively fast service. It’s a step up from fast food so a longer wait is expected but they manage to have everything cooked fairly quickly even when busy. The regular fries are mediocre but upgrade to spicy fries and you’ve got the best things ever.

Good price, and good music. Tasty and filling Burgers and the Magoo sauce and fries! Conveniently located, and good people.

Burgers were really good. Tastes like a BBQ at your uncle Tony’s when your were nothing but a little one. The décor sets a welcoming feel, due to not being way over the top. Burger places, please remember you serve burgers, not 5 course meals. Would recommend to anyone.

Similar to Lick’s, decent meal and well priced. They charge extra for everything. Other than that, can’t complain. The Magoo sauce is pretty good, but you gotta pay extra, and the spicy fries weren’t spicy at all.

Not much to look at, food is GREAT! I’m pretty sure this place still has the original décor as when it first opened. You will encounter the ice cream cooler first — tempting to skip the burgers & leave with dessert instead! Forge ahead a few steps to the«Place your order here» sign and go for it. Burger — 4oz is plenty — cheese & mushrooms for certain. Fries — hand cut daily — with Magoo Sauce, please! Staff seem friendly & very focussed. No time for small talk. If I read this right, Magoos looks to be family owned & operated. After a brief wait, I get called to dress my burger — choosing from a large assortment of interesting toppings, I get my freshly cooked burger and fries on my blue, plastic tray and head to a bright, yellow table by the window. Retro — for sure! Fries are awesome! Burger is tasty! Too much for me to finish.

I love old school diners, burger joins and malt shops. This place has the vibe of all three put together… I dig, I dig. I came in here with a friend who has frequented Magoo’s much of his life, and the lady behind the counter joyfully saluted him by name when we came in. Come on, this place is cayuuuute. I had their gourmet burger and an iced tea. The burger was juicy, made on a grill in front of me, and then I got to choose my toppings from a wide variety under the glass. Think Subway only cool. When next in this area, I will definitely return. Merci, Magoo!

Staple in the area. Got the 4 Oz. Burger bacon and Cheese fries with gravey. Get the Magoo sauce lots of other toppings. Staff friendly I use a cane so they will bring order to my table even if they’re busy. Never been disappointed, try the special burgers

I dont know why I keep looking around for burger joints. How does that saying go again? Oh ya. Dont fix whats not broken. There is nothing for me to say that is bad about this place. Last time I went in there with my two kids, I ordered one big burger two small burgers and three fries. The nice lady tells me thats too much fries. Okay then, two fries(pretending that im not as fat as i really am). I know very well that the kids leave leftovers. Anyway the service is always great. And even entertaining to watch how well they keep up with their bursts of multiple customers. Every one leaves there satisfied. I recomend this place to everyone. Get bacon and mushrooms on your burger:) And if your fat like me you will get two.

Overrated beyond belief. The burgers aren’t anything special. I’ve tried them various times, and always the same — bland. They don’t accept debit card. Big sign explains no debit«for faster service» which is a load of baloney. Order, sit, and wait for your burger to be prepared. There is LOTS of time to accept debit card. Five Guys does a better burger & fried than this place.

Great burger. Solid fries. What makes this place unique is the toppings. Not many offer sprouts in the first place, nor do many places not charge extra for things like guac and bruschetta, let alone have it as an option. I also prefer that they use grated cheese and not a slice. Makes the cheese melt in a much cooler way. As for the whole licks wannabe stuff, that’s just ridiculous. Magoos has been around for a long time. It has a relatively oldschool diner template, not sure why Licks is the poster boy for this.

I work in the same plaza where magoos is located. our staff visits this place a couple times a week. Everything is delicious. My colleague loves the chicken wraps(she doesn’t eat red meat). The burgers are amazing! Great food and super friendly staff. Cash only(would eat here more if they accepted credit).

Awesome classic burger shop. Ordered the 6oz burger with chilli fries and they were fantastic. The orders are prepared fresh right in front of you. This place has some of the best unique toppings to add to your burger including a house Magoos sauce and bruschetta. Only complaint is that they only serve Pepsi products for drinks.

Magoo’s knows how to do a good burger. Cooked to perfection every time and topped any way you like. I love their sesame seed bun and the alfalfa sprout option for a topping. Do yourself a favour and get Magoo’s sauce on your burger and on the side with you fries. This little gem is great for a quick and inexpensive meal.

Went here last night and really enjoyed it! I agree with the other reviewers that the place itself doesn’t look fancy but it delivers on the food. The burgers are grilled right in front of you and they have a wide array of toppings. Unlike other burger/sandwich places, they don’t charge extra for guac(which to me was a definite plus!). I thought the spicy fries and poutine(my husband and I each ordered one) were just ok — as someone mentioned earlier, they make them well before the burger is done so by the time you are eating, they are no longer really hot/fresh. The meat for the burger was juicy and fresh. The staff are really friendly and nice to talk to and there is a comfortable vibe, like those neighbourhoods in the movies where everyone knows each other. Just FYI — they only take cash. There is however a TD bank a couple of doors down.
