The Bulging Burger

Really great burgers and more recently had some french fries and poutine.
Great comfort food and reasonably priced menu items.
A little further down the beach but worth a trip for a good patty!!!

Little small family joint. Staff seem friendly, I went with their signature The Bulging Burger, onion rings and chocolate shake. The onion rings were pretty good, the burger was massive got the price and really juicy. Over all a good meal. It’s just milk shake that disappointed me.

I asked my mom: «how many stars shall we give him?» And she said, enthusiastically, «Five!» — this is my third burger here and my family’s first (they were visiting from the east coast). Highly recommend ANY burger !

This place is a hidden gem in the east end beaches. I’ve been probably 3 – 4 times since they’ve opened (less than a year I believe). I’ve had the Moo Moo with cheese and the Smokey and the Pig. If you enjoy fresh, juicy, ground on the premises beef this is your place. The fries are julienne cut and spiced to perfection.
Attention burger lovers, check this place out.

Tried the veggie burger twice already… sorry I haven’t gone in earlier. It’s hard to find a decent veggie burger but this place has hit the nail on the head. the onion rings are to die for. Very friendly, family oriented atmosphere.

I enjoyed the burger. Larger than most being offered at the «gourmet burger» places around Toronto. Especially for 5 $. Fries were nice and crunchy and light on the grease. Only criticism, gravy wasn’t the best. I find I get quite the bang for my buck at Bulging Burger and plan on returning soon!

the burgers here are amazing. I got the bulging burger last time I think and it was humongous and delicious (had 2 patties I think, cheese, mayo, special house sauce, sautéed onions, lettuce, tomato, a soft bun with bread in between (I don’t know what that thing is called separator maybe) kinda sucks it’s 10 $ but it’s huge so I think it’s worth it cause I couldn’t finish it and I didn’t get any fries or any sides but their fries are also really good usually and so is their gravy and poutine and milkshakes (I’ve only had strawberry and vanilla but they were really good) and pretty much everything they have. I feel like the only thing is they should have more healthy choices if you want to go healthy one day like grilled chicken sandwich with a side Caesar salad that’s less pricey since it’s only a side and more choices of drinks. I miss when this place used to be Tino’s sometimes cause it was really healthy back then with the chicken souvlakis and gyros. I kinda wish they had more selection though like especially healthy selection cause I’m already really scared of getting a heart attack so I almost never go here anymore but I think they should also have specials sometimes cause it keeps people interested but the first time I had their burgers when they opened up I thought it was the best burger I’ve had in my entire life or one of the. If they made their own smoothies or lemonade in the summer that would be pretty cool but their burgers are definitely better than ViVetha’s and theirs have really gone downhill it’s just ViVetha’s fries are more consistently amazing but I think I’d prefer to have an amazing burger. their poutines are also the best ones in the beaches or from the ones I’ve had. their veggie burgers with everything on it (including hot peppers) is also extremely delicious cause it’s herbed and has mayo and chipotle mayo as well as ketchup, mustard, relish, BBQ sauce, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and sautéed onions. I wish they’d have sweet potato fries though but overall they make really burgers and food. something else is I kind of wish they had balsamic dressing for one of their salads.

Tried their Moo moo & cheese burger and The bulging burger.
They were huge and juicy.
The meat was fresh also the veg inside.
Loved it. Craving for more once I was done eating the burger.
The bulging milkshake was not for my taste…
They know what they are doing. Recommend this place A+

Ding ding ding. Ladies and gentleman, we have a new neighbour champion: Bulging Burger.
What an incredible and tasty burger. Had the moo moo and cheese and for $ 9 it was quite a treat. My companion had a double burger with cheese and bacon, which he ate with no complaints
Fries were also good except a bit on the small size for 3.75
Overall ⁵⁄₅ stars

The price point was great — $ 8 for a bacon cheeseburger with whatever toppings you want.
I wanted to love the burgers from this place but it was just ok. The burger could have used some seasoning as it lacked flavour. The onion rings were pretty doughy.
I would rather have a No Bull Burger on Kingston Rd.

The problem with the Toronto food scene is that there are too many chains serving overly processed food with additives and unknown mystery ingredients and not enough ‘mom & pops’ that take great pride into their product. This is one of those places. They stick to a small menu and from what I can tell so far… they do it well and they care that you like their food.
The place has only been open a few weeks and I wandered in after a very long bike ride… famished. I ordered the moo burger (?) which had cheese, onions, lettuce, tomato, and two fresh ground beef patties. Yes, ground on the premises. Who does that anymore? This makes a difference.
I also had a side of fries which were AWESOME! Fresh cut julienne fries that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Have it with vinegar and a little salt.
Everything was fresh and delicious. The beef patties were so fresh that it did not need anymore seasoning. If they do put seasoning then they don’t over do it. Nothing worse than an over seasoned meal.
The place is small with maybe place for about 20 people, it is clean, and the owners are friendly and want to do a good job.
I will be back the next time I am in the Beaches area on Queen St. E.
Rated ⁵⁄₅ for the fresh ingredients, good preparation, and beef patties ground in the restaurant.

Busy little burger joint on Queen St. East in the Beaches. Great food! Great value! I have eaten twice before. I am slowly working my way down the menu. So far the food is great! You have to try the «Bulging Burger».Best value are the combos. Friendly staff. The owners are very nice… A+.I will be back again and again.

We had the burgers April 11, 2015. They were ok. Probably the best burgers on Queen east of Hero Burger.
I had a few pieces of hard gristle in my burger which was off putting. I found the buns to be toasted too much which made me think that maybe they were a bit stale? The veggies on the burger were very fresh.
Would I prefer this place over Burgers Priest, or No Bull Burger or Five Guys? Probably not. But if I was in that area and looking for a burger I’d definitely go again.

I was pleasantly surprised! Love the secret sauce. Very friendly service and great burgers. Love the concept of ground on site. Saw them do it! No frozen burgers here. Busy store but well worth the wait.

I drove to this restaurant after they told me they would be open until 9. At 8:25 when I got to the door they had locked it. The staff looked at me through the door and ignored me. I called to see what happened and they hung up on me. Unfortunately the food may sound good but no customer service. Sad to see a business start off this way after opening.

Excellent addition to the beaches! The hand crafted burgers are to die for. Had the smokey and the pig burger. Very juicy and tender meat… Ground on site! Hand cut fries were fresh and crispy. Excellent concept complimented by the super hospitality. Will be back for more.
