South St. Burger

Popped in for a burger while shopping. It took 15 minutes or so to get the burger done. Slow service and pricey for such small burger. It tasted good but it was not worth it.

Popped in while in Vaughan Mills doing some Christmas shopping. The place is fairly large for a mall fast food joint.
Store is very clean (probably because it’s new) and the burgers are great… one of the best out there.
I went mid-​week during the day and it was quiet… but I can only imagine how hopping this place gets during the weekend when the mall is packed.
Staff (cashier) was friendly and efficient.
As an added bonus for Christmas… if you bring in a new, unwrapped toy, with a $ 10 value (for their annual toy drive), they’ll give you a 4oz burger for free. Great to see a company giving back to the community.

I’m giving them 5 stars because My children and I enjoyed the food and service. Our order was a 4oz combo, Mushroom & Swiss combo & a hot dog combo. Both my children enjoyed the food as well as I enjoyed it.
The service was amazing, usually in a mall its kind of fast pace and in and out! That wasn’t the situation here, I believe we lucked out by coming on a weekday and before 6pm lol. Our cashier took the order and answered any questions I had as it was our first time. We then moved to the side to get out condiments, the female doing this wasn’t very pleasant but it makes sense because she’s making orders. As I stood in line a male customer, older gentleman came behind us for his order and the line girl was asking how he wanted his burger and he was just an ass and rude! So I said no need to be rude she’s asking you a question. So then she’s making the burger and ask if he would like mayo or something and he points to the menu and says LOUDLY «I WANT THE TRUE NORTH» exactly how it is in the menu. The girl was so polite just stood there red faced and embarrassed. Obviously I had to speak up and I did. I explained there is no need to be an ass, she’s just clarifying to be sure.
She was great and did a lot better than I would in that situation. Much respect to her!!!
The only change I would make is, when you walk in to order there is no sign to let you know where to stand to order or pay first! Overall great place and service.

South Street Burger Co. is a child of New York Fries, who are moving out of french-​fry territory into the expanses of this new ‘higher-​end’ burger culture, probably hoping to compete with the likes of Hero burger, Fatburger, Licks (does Licks still exist?), etc, etc…
This is one of their several newly-​opened GTA restaurants, opened this year with the addition of the new wing to Vaughan Mills. They have a bunch of restaurants in the GTA, one in Calgary, oddly enough one in Dubai, but, despite the name, none in New York or any in the United States whatsoever for that matter.
Their menu includes, of course, New York Fries’ signature french fries and poutines, alongst with burgers, salads, milkshakes, I think there was some sort of chicken sandwich too…
Like its competitors, South Street tries to further an image of highly ‘customizable’ burgers, so they have a fair amount of options on the toppings… along with the standard cheddar cheeses you could also opt for goat cheese, pepperjack, or brie, they have a wide variety of different sauces (tho not as much as Hero burger, I think), fair selection of toppings, different types of mayo, different types of mustard, even different types of ketchup (regular or spicy) to choose from…
I ordered the veggie burger on a whole-​wheat bun, with mushrooms, goat cheese, lettuce & tomato, chipotle sauce. Was 14 bucks for the combo (they charge $ 1 for cheese and same for mushrooms! When did it become the standard to charge extra for cheese on a burger!)…so, about the same as any other burger place of similar class.
The employees were overtly friendly and cheerful to such a degree that it became somewhat icy, it was obvious their good-​naturedness was contrived and forced, but don’t hold me fast to that conviction as I’m not the best judge of people’s temperaments. Just my impressions.
The patty was decent, the bread was surprisingly good, the goat cheese was tasty, very creamy, and they were quite generous with it, toppings are about what you’d expect…
All in all ‘decent’, nothing spectacular, but hey it’s just a burger place in a shopping mall. You usually get what you expect with this sort of thing.

Being in the mega shopping complex of Vaughan Mills, this burger joint looked promising. It was tucked away in a quieter corner of the mall and had its own private seating area. I am not sure if my order was mixed up with someone else’s well done burger but the ones I received were all super well done and almost too dry to eat. They do have a lot of toppings to choose from and their fries are also served by their parent companies New York Fries, which were quite yummy. The lineup was always 8 deep and the wait from order to pickup was painstakingly slow (20 mins for a burger and fries). They do have their own private washrooms found inside which was a nice plus
