I just learned they have closed. I am so upset I love this place and all the people who work here. Talking to Phill when I came in was always a highlight. Best of luck in your future endeavours and please let me know if you pop up ANYWHERE in Toronto. I will be there.
Love, Katie

What a disaster. Twenty minutes to get an order of onion rings
The owner is so drunk he can barely stand up and keeps forgetting everyone’s order. It’s 11:30 in the morning, by the way. Two customers have demanded refunds and sent back their food in the short time I’ve been here. Gravy is good though.

I was around the area and was looking for a fast lunch found this place on a phone search. Checked Unilocal and they had some nice things to say so over I went. Their is not really any parking found a spot and went in. Place was busy but very clean. I greeted by the manager/​owner as soon as I walked in like I had known him for years. After taking a few mins to look at the menu I went with the 4oz mushroom Swiss and the jalapeño poppers and came to under $ 12. The burger was cooked perfect lots of flavour the poppers we’re probably the best I have ever had only down side their was only 3 of them. I will definitely be returning to this little gem next time I am in the area

The food here is really well done, I was a regular in the neighbourhood (Hi Phil!)
Highly recommend any burger, he’s the king of burgers, so good!
My personal favorites that he also does REALLY WELL is the fresh breakfast sandwich, it’s big and I think the same price or close to of the crap Tim hortons calls breakfast.
Sweet potato fries. Yum.
His pulled pork is actually better that my moms. Highest recommendation!!!
The veggie soup. So so clean SO delicious it’s crazy.
Deep fried pickles is another he’s mastered.
Last but not least on my favorites list is hot honey wings and mint chocolate milkshake!
I miss having the friendliest man in the neighbourhood serve great fresh food, I’ll be making a stop soon!

Remarkably friendly service.
Burgers were tasty but the patties were not on the same level as five guys or burger priest (they were cooked all the way through and are a bit dry).

The Davisville location is spacious and moderately clean. Décor is a bit tacky but I guess it adds some character. Service by the only employee (cook, cashier, etc) was good. He was friendly. Where as the owner just stood there on his phone — which made me feel a bit uncomfortable?
The prices are okay. Ordered the ½lb wings and fries for $ 7.50. Suicide wings were hardly suicide… I wouldn’t even say it was mildly hot at all. The fries were more disappointing. They were dark, and tasted or felt stale. I think they probably fried it some time before and refried it for my order…
I’ll only come back for desperate times as it is fairly close to where I live.

Marlee Ave Fat Phil’s is the worst for it’s food, serves and cleanliness charges more money them the other locations, burgers are horrible and dry and will charge u $ 0.50 extra for tomatoes and a few times the lady putting the food together would put it in her pocket, there was garbage all over the tables and none of the staff had hats or hair nets on… Disgusting place on Marlee Ave, Toronto

Swung by Phil’s recently. Heard good things about their homestyle burgers. Overall. .. charcoiled meat-​patties were well executed, but, overall burger. .. so-​so. Mid-​scale burger joints. .. licks, acme, big smoke (craft), goumet burger co, south st. burger, the priest etc. It’s all about the details ie bun (toasted), condiments (mayo — wasabi, garlic, chipolte etc). Bacon (double-​smoked). Cheese (aged) etc. That’s were phil’s fails. Ordered the mushroom-​melt and greek tycoon burger. Flavour wise, both were weak. Mr. greek owner. .. head down to the danfourth and take a taste of ‘patty and franks’. These peeps are the real deal. They know how to make a r-​e-​a-​l greek style tasting burger. Gobs of feta, fresh tzatsiki etc.

This is one of the best places for quick bite in the area. Phill’s has a pretty big menu and a friendly staff.

Big selections of toppings and Greek influenced fusion. Place looks rundown and can use some good cleaning and renovation. The burgers are only ok because of the toppings, remove toppings and burger meat is over cocked and lack taste! Obviously, those who liked this place or have it high review; compare it to fast food franchises like Burger King and McDonalds. Not comparable to gourmet burger joints such at Burger Priest or Holy Chuck!

Comparable to Burger Shack, but with several signature burgers. Thick 7oz patties with crispy bacons with homemade taste. Poutine came with better gravy than Burger Shack but soggy fries. Earned one more star than Burger Shack for more menu choices and service. The owner came by to check on every customer to see if everything was ok. A small detail, but it shows he cares about the quality of his products and customer satisfaction.

Great all beef hot dog, with good quality bun. Good size, didn’t think I could eat it all but it was very tasty and I finished it! Nice people. I like that they don’t use pork.
Milkshake was a bit thin. The place is not much to look at from the outside but well worth a visit for food quality. If I worked near here I would probably stop in regularly.

Amazing burgers. You can tell they take this seriously and passionately as they tell you all they have to offer, and they offer quite a bit. Lots of bang for your buck.
The bread is great and more importantly the quality of the meet is really good.
We had the Swiss Melt and the Big Guy with a side of poutine and all three items were absolutely solid choices.
Watch out for the slippery floor ;)

Awesome restaurant. The owner is incredibly friendly and even have me some brie on the side when I couldn’t decide what cheese I wanted.
Burger was excellent. I highly recommend the Swiss melt !

Nice staff. I like that they have things other than beef burgers on the menu eg. Pulled pork, chicken breast, ground turkey. I ordered the Greek tycoon and asked for a turkey burger instead of the beef. Good burger but I now know why most places don’t carry turkey patties — the burger went from $ 6.50 to $ 9.50…for a 4oz patty.ouch. Considering there is a place down the street that literally grounds steak patties in front of you and offers a double cheeseburger with bacon on it for the same price, I’m not sure I could return.

Nice service, considered it’s a plain décor burger joint.
I had a Greek Tycoon Burger. It was a bit salty.
Will go back to try something else next time when I’m in the area.

While ordering, the owner Phil came up and chatted it up with me. Very friendly guy was talking to everyone and staff provide amazing service.
Had the Chicken Souvlaki on a bun. was quite delicious. The texture of the bun was soft like my buns. And the chicken was juicy and tender like my thighs. Overall great experience for a quick take-​out style joint.
Hard to find a places where the owner is so friendly.

So let’s start with the good…
Fat Phil’s has some of the friendliest outgoing staff that really makes an effort to make everyone feel comfortable, whether it be making jokes or simply greeting you despite having a long line up of people ahead of you.
The burgers are made with meat in-​house a large variety of toppings that you generally have to pay extra for at other gourmet burger places. The original burger choices (Any time you can add Pineapple to a burger you do it!) are outstanding and they offer a ton of greek food choices as well.
So the not so good…
Not a heck of a lot of room to eat a meal with a group of more than two or three people, additionally the fries (2.50 no size choice) are reminiscent of a happy meal sized small fries, which left me disappointed.
Utlamtiely I was happy enough with the burger but the side order left me feeling a bit… frustrated to say the least

I was in the area and saw Fat Phill’s, so I popped in for a bite.
I got a Little Guy and fries with gravy.
The burger was pretty good. A little more pink than I like it, but it had a nice flavour. Pickles were great.
The French fries are to die for. Fresh cut Russets deep fried… Like a good old fashioned chip truck. Their gravy was fantastic too.
When I ordered from Phill (who isn’t actually fat), he made some jokes and saw it was my first time there. He offered me free ice cream for dessert. It was so good.
A little out of my area, but if I lived near I’d definitely be back.

I was stranded on Marlee Ave. with nothing to do for an hour and an empty stomach, so I decided to walk in to Fat Phill’s.
Low and behold: Phill isn’t actually fat. However, he can whip up some mean burgers. The burgers were above-​average quality for the price, and the place offers a very wide range of condiments. Not the absolute best burger I’ve ever eaten, but it’ll do if you’re in the area and you’re hungry.
The place also has souvlaki, ice cream, and other miscellaneous foods, but I haven’t had the chance to try them yet. Maybe you should. Who knows? You might be surprised.
