The Burger’s Priest

Thought we would try this burger place tonight as we heard some good things. On first impression the décor is really stark. There was a large mouse trap located to the left of the front door. Eek! I ordered the Priest burger and my daughter ordered a cheeseburger. The server told us they would be ready in 7 mins. Hmm. I thought the burgers were made to order? Wonder how they get them cooked so fast. We took our meals to go. My burger was very greasy and lacked Amy remarkable flavour. No seasoning at all. The cheese was processed cheese slices. The pickles were like McDonald’s pickles. No tomato in sight. We were very disappointed. We have been to other privately owned and managed burger restaurants in Hamilton that were much better for taste and price. We won’t be returning to burgers priest.

The quality of the burger was excellent. Had the basic burger (can’t remember the name) but it was so tasty and you could tell it was fresh. Love this place and would go back all the time if I lived closer.

I had the option — deep fried cheese stuffed Portobello burger — and oh my goodness it was mind blowing!!! So so tasty! The cheese just oozed out — I couldn’t believe the amount of cheese they managed to stuff in there! I’m looking forward to trying some of the milkshakes!

Tried the California burger (or something like that) which the buns were fried in butter and as tempting as it might sound it was the worst choice I have made in my entire life! ;-) It was greasy and soggy and my sandwich was falling apart after the first bite.
The chilli fries weren’t any better either in terms of soggy-​ness!
Chocolate milkshake was the best part.
The service and the (religious?!! Or whatever was the idea) concept didn’t really give me a pleasant vibe.

I had the Vatican with Stern fries my buddy had the 4 Horseman on June 26^th. One of the best burgers I have ever had.

This place is alright but not great. Peters denial was ok. It consists of southern fried chicken smothered with corn and gravy on a fresh bun. The chicken was cooked well and a little spicy but I found the bun couldn’t hold up to the gravy and the heat of the food so basically it fell apart and was messy. Good thing I ate in the restaurant, if I had opted to take it home the bun wouldn’t have made it. The Red Sea is a burger smothered in chili on a fresh bun. My b/​f had no complaints except again the bun was just too soft. It should be a crusty more substantial bun for these messy sandwiches. We shared a side of fries and gravy. I really liked the fries with a little salt and ketchup whereas he said they were ok but needed more salt and gravy. Not sure if we would go back.
Our meals mentioned above with 2 cans of pop was around $ 25.

Great food. Great service. Try Peters Denial, it’s a very unexpected delicious sandwich. My husband loves the burgers. I personally find them a wee too greasy for my liking. The fresh cut fries are delish! Happy this resto migrated west.

Burger Priest is innovatively profanely religious.
This place is honestly all contradiction.
The menu is extensive ranging from chill fries to hot dogs to burgers to desserts to floats & milkshakes.
I loved the cookies here — reminds me of the sugar cookies from elementary school bake sales.
«What’s Right»
The chill fries were meh — chili was a little too bland.
The burger was salty??? I’m not sure if that’s what they’re going for but if it’s salt overload then they got it right.
BUT I’d like to be back to try other things on the menu.

Great burgers and burger style creations! Burgers and buns so fresh they put their competition and the run-​of-​the-​mill burger chains to shame. I’ve tried the Red Sea, Peter’s Denial, the Option and the Jarge-​style burger with smoke (from the secret menu).
The Red Sea is a burger with a thick, meaty chili, my favourite to date. Peter’s denial is a breaded chicken breast served on a bun with cream corn and gravy, a great choice for those days when you want to change it up a bit. The Option is a vegetarian patty, unlike any other vegetarian patty I’ve ever had, a «custom blend of cheesy goodness sandwiched between two roasted portabello mushrooms, breaded and deep fried then placed on a bun with your choice of toppings» — finally a vegetarian option that carnivores can enjoy!
The Jarge-​style — mustard grilled patties with fried onion — very juicy with a taste all its own.
Don’t forget to order «smoke» which are deep-​fried jalapeño rings if you want to spice things up.
All said, they make great burgers!

Newly opened, first time ever eating at the burger’s priest and I have to say it was amazing! All the ingredients and especially the meat patty were all freshly prepared and made on the spot. Super juicy and delicious. A bit pricey, but definitely worth it. Will come back for sure.
