Burger Shack

I went the other day for the first time, they have great burgers, and awesome onion rings.
A must to try

Pretty good burger joint for a family owned business. Burger was big and juicy. really tasty.

The food is okay and the prices are fair. The ambience however, will ruin your meal. I’ve never been in a restaurant with this kind of racket. It literally can hurt your ears. The combo of the kitchen noise, yelling out the orders, and the general acoustic level makes this a place to avoid if you want to actually enjoy eating your burger.
I’ve been to plenty of McDonalds playrooms and they aren’t even close to this with 25 kids playing. This was like putting your head in a metal garbage can while people hammer away on it with metal pipes.
How does your burger taste now?

The burgers here are way over priced. for meat is driping in grease do not eat here…

Mom and pops burger joint. The burger is homemade, yummy and juicy. No bells and whistles, you won’t see thousands of burger to choose from. It’s as simple as it gets… burger, burger with cheese, with bacon, or with everything.
They also have souvlaki and other Greek food. I’ve never had those so I can’t rate that.
I think it’s reasonable priced for what it is.
If you’re in this area and looking to grab a burger, I highly recommend this place.
Also, one last important note. It’s cash only. But, they do have an atm in the store.
It’s not something I suggest to go out of the way for, but I gave it a 5 because everytime I go here, they are consistently great with their service and burger. Sometimes the wait line goes to the door, not that they’re slow, they’re just that busy.
Something I wanted to add, they have a free parking lot, which is rare in this area lol.

CASH ONLY in this place. Old fashioned and delicious. Nothing extravagant but the food is fool proof. Went here after my buddy recommended it while he lived in the area. Basic condiments they provide. The steak burgers looked good but I definitely want to give their fish and chips a try. If I were a local I would definitely be a regular.

What kind of restaurant only takes cash? Step your game up. You would rather have an ATM to get even more money out of your customers. Well, I won’t be a customer then. Smokes Craft Burger it is.

This is a great old school burger joint. Really traditional char-​broiled burger place, open late with solid dependable food, and the homeburger patties, the fries, and the onion rings, are all fresh cut and handmade.
Favorites are the big huge battered onion rings, fresh cut fries with gravy, banquet homeburger, and the chicken souvlaki on a bun is decent as well.
I would say that their fresh, hand patted burger patty, and their dark brown beefy gravy, are both a little more well seasoned and peppery than some, but very good, especially late night on the way home from some nefarious adventure.
Slight tendency to over cook the burger patty, so I ask for not too well done, and I prefer the gravy ON the fries, rather than in the little cup on the side, they are happy to accommodate.
All in all, a really solid neighborhood burger joint, the kind that are disappearing and still much appreciated by me. Give them a shot, you won’t be sorry.

Always have to get a burger from here when in the area. $ 5 for a homemade awesome burger!
Make sure you go.

I had a burger — just a burger. It was delicious! Flavourful and totally matching all the great reviews others have posted.
If you’re in the area and looking for a not classy diner atmosphere with delicious food — this is your place.

The patties had an amazing flavor and the many many toppings they offer put it over the top. The fries were good but needed salt. The onion rings were tasty as was the gravy. Very low key kind of place where you order your food at the counter and then they call you up when its ready so you can tell them what toppings to put on the burger. The buns could be a bit better but that’s my only complaint.

Ha another tasty feast at the Burger Shack. I like the burgers here, very tasty. I just love the old diner ambiance too.

A Must Do while visiting Toronto. Oh how I miss the Burger Shack. My last stint in Toronto I ate there every day of the week for 2 months. Its that good, and I was back last week, and nothing has changed. Perfection on a bun!
What can you do with a burger you say, well you can do this. Grilled burgers in their own juices on a well seasoned flat top, and an extensive condiment bar to custom build your juicy burger with, and thee best milkshakes in the known universe. I’ve tried to replicate their pineapple shakes many times with no luck. Check it out, it looks like a little hole in the wall and it is, but its one of the best burger joints in the world.

Amazing homemade burgers. Solid fries. No frills. They keep it simple and they do it exceptionally well. The entire place does have quite the shack vibe, reminiscent of old diners but without the color. But you grow to enjoy it. Oh and it’s cash only but they have an ATM in store.

Great burgers. Place is dated, from the seating to the menu board. What’s not dated is the deliciousness of the food. It gets pretty packed in here and for good reason.
Try the banquet burger, homemade. Big and delicious and homemade BBq sauce… Damn.

It’s an ok neighbourhood fast food joint. Not «one of the best burger joints in Toronto» as I had been told. The burger had that homemade taste I liked even though the patty was too dry. The poutine however tasted like a poutine-​wanna-​be. Gravy too salty and wrong cheese curds. A decent place to eat if you’re in the neighbourhood, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to use my cheat day here.

As usual, I can’t vouch for any meat items but I’m happy to be an intrepid reporter on behalf of my fellow veggie burger hunters, especially those who want that classic homestyle flav with no «weird stuff». These ones are what you hope for — big, juicy, flavourful (especially when ordered with the works), perfectly charred and on a fluffy bun. Will most definitely eat again. And again. With fries next time.
I also had the Shack’s take on a fish burger on one of their apparently famed kaiser rolls. The fish is the kind with the deep-​fried smooth golden shell (à la fish-​and-​chips). I usually prefer breaded fillets but, with a mouthful of pickles and mayo and kaiser, I had no complaints. Delish.
I was pleasantly surprised that such an old school joint had these options, and at less than $ 20 for two veg and one fish, it was well worth it. Call ahead and pick up if you want; the inside of your car and the inside of this restaurant are probably on par in terms of décor.

You know when you crave those greasy burger, fries and want that staple in the city to go and find it. This is that place.
Burgers are a great size and are always amazingly. Top it with some fries and gravy and you have a memorable diner experience.
Love it!

We got a couple of banquet burguers and they were really tasty.
The place is open late and they have quick service. I just wouldn’t advice to ask nor the fries neither the onion rings because they were saggy…
I read in BlogTO that his place has infractions that cold make you contract Food Borne Illness, so I decided to change my rating.
I hope they learnt from their mistakes, train the personal and improve.

This is a great place to go if you want a fresh-​never-​frozen 6 oz. homemade burger. They make their own barbecue sauce as well, and offer hot sauce. Definitely go for the FRESH one, don’t get the frozen one.
They have an extensive variety of drinks to choose from. Your regular Coca-​Cola products, to San Pellegrino sodas, Arizona iced tea, Snapple, and a bunch of other random lesser-​known drinks (like fruit nectars from Egypt and Israel). I ordered the Israeli mango nectar and it had a taste that was reminiscent of when I accidentally spray perfume in my mouth. It was $ 2.50 for a can. I wouldn’t recommend it.
The banquet burger I ordered was delicious. Fresh patty, nice charcoal taste, fresh toppings, cheese and bacon. The burger came to about $ 6.
As for Yonge and Eglinton burger joints, I would definitely recommend this place over Gourmet Burger Co., McDonald’s, Burger King, and Harvey’s. South Street Burger is another good option in the area but this one is independent and charbroiled so I’d choose this place for sure.
