Review: This patty appeared to be treated correctly (a proper smash patty on the flat-top), but it came out incredibly dry. I suspect they used extra lean ground beef and it desperately needed fat/moisture. There were too many vegetables. The bun also needed fat or at the very least, some toasting. It was just too …

The Brig – Burger
Review: This had a really nice patty cooked medium-well. Crispy onions added a nice texture, but the burger could have used the tang of raw onions to go with the shaved lettuce. The aioli was a really good sauce option. The bun was the weakest element. It was just bland and pasty (they used to …
Shakey’s Homestyle Cuisine and Deli – Burger
Review: This burger had a real, unseasoned ¼ lb patty cooked on a flat top. It was topped with processed cheddar. The toasted sesame bun was nice and the vegetables were pretty fresh. Rating: 6.6/10
Atomic Rooster – Burger
Review: This featured a hand-formed patty with a crispy outer layer. It was not seasoned. There was decent quality cheese. Vegetables were fresh. The slightly crusty bun was excellent. Rating: 7.5/10
Grillades Torino – Burger
Review: The patty was dense and pre-formed. It seemed to be seasoned quite a bit. The grill did add a little charcoal flavour. The cheese was standard processed cheddar. The brioche-style bun was probably the best part of the burger. It was pretty heavy on the toppings, which actually detracted a bit from the burger. …
Rock’n Deli – Burger
Review: The patty had a nice charcoal smokiness and it was covered with a good amount of processed cheddar. The veggies were fresh. The sauce was a little sweet. The bun held up pretty well. Rating: 7.0/10
Casse-Croute Limbour – Burger
Review: This was a pretty typical chip truck/stand burger. It had a small, dense, well-done patty. It seemed cheesier than most similar burgers. The tomato was a little too thick. Everything else was just adequate. Rating: 5.7/10
The Burgery – Burger
Review: This had a 6 oz patty that I believe was cooked in a panini-press-style grill. The bun fell apart a bit on me, but it was good. This was their attempt at mimicking a Big Mac which is pretty common for burger joints and I have to say that among the ones I’ve tried, …
Grill 41 – Burger
Review: This burger had a very thick patty that would fall in the 6-8oz range. It was juicy and deliciously seasoned with a nice crust. It was topped with aged cheddar. The bacon jam was very good and the aioli was perfect. Veggies were all fresh. The bun was good, but maybe the weakest element …
Valentine – Burger
Review: The burger was on the smaller side. The sesame bun was good. I got a double because the patties were much less than a quarter pound (similar to a McDonald’s burger), except they were “real” (hand-formed). The cheese was standard processed cheddar. They offered free fried onions, which is always a bonus. The lettuce …
