Woody’s Burger Bar and Grill

I’ve been here many times and the burgers aren’t consistent. This time the patty was so over cooked that the beef was rubbery. Even all the toppings and sauce couldn’t make the burger taste better. I’m done and never going back. There is plenty of good burger places that can cook a proper patty.

Great bugers, and the Mac &Cheese is better than I have ever made. This is where we order when we want a real buger that taste like real meat, not over processed and full of fillers. We always get take out and eat at home, the location is a bit small and it’s always full!

Enjoyed the best burger in a long while at Woody’s. My Partner and I dropped by and enjoyed burgers and fries. The burger was charbroiled goodness – nice thick patty fully cooked but not dry. I found the bun a bit too thick for my liking but it didn’t prevent me from enjoying the burger. I think I would prefer slimmer sesame seed type bun. The topping choices were numerous and they are generous with portions. We enjoyed the Yukon gold fries they were cut and deep fried perfectly. Service was excellent the cashier was super friendly.

Interesting burger joint. Has a lot of menu options ranging from your classic burger to wild variations and some vegan/​vegetarian options. I have only been here once but was happy with my classic burger. My friends vegan burger was good but falls apart easily (it’s probably hard to keep it all together when it is just vegetables). Fries were great, both sweet and regular fries. The coleslaw is different tasting than anywhere else I have ever had it, I’m on the fence about that food option, not sure if I would order it again.

You can always tell a place by how busy it is, not the biggest place so thought I’d takeout but a seat came up just as soon as my food was about to be ready, amazing food and service can’t wait to try more of what they have to offer!!!

Friendly service-​great burgers-​GREAT value! This is currently my favourite burger joint. Their scrumptious meat patty is legitimately the definition of fresh burgers prepared right. Most of their burgers run under $ 10 with the choice of various customization. Unlike most burger places, the patty is still juicy and think coming out of the grill top. The warmth of the shop was created by the light saturation with the sweet fragrant of burning wood used. The buns they use are nicely soft to absorb the sauces that I so frequently slather on top, yet was resilient enough not to fall apart into a sloppy blob. The sweetness given off by the bread balanced the taste of the meat quite well. I rarely ever play it by the KISS (keep it simple stupid) rule, but this would be one exception I would be willing to make. The burgers are out of the WORLD!
There are other items such as fries and sweet potato fries, I like it, and however, they are not the crispy kind. They used a variety of potato that gave their fries a nice chewiness rather than the usual starchy kind. The sweet potato fries are good but also do not have that crunch I normally like. Passable was the coleslaw. I did not enjoy the dressing as it had more of a pickle water taste to it, plus the portion was not that appealing either. They also offer mac and cheese, I have yet to try. They have a few type of local draft beers and ice creams available as a palate cleanser too.
Overall, this is a must try place for their burgers… well worth the travel and wait. Service is fast for the sheer volume of customers they get from time to time. We rarely waited more than 15 min for our food from time of order to delivery. It’s a great place to enjoy a fast laid-​back meal and take a chance to explore the surrounding local area.

Excellent, distinct tasting burgers. It’s a one of a kind burger place and it’s absolutely delicious with great friendly staff. I’ll definitely be back.

Great burgers! Decent prices. Beer selection a bit limited but hey thats a burger joint. The cashier was a bit rude but I understand it was crazy busy and all other employees were so smiling that they made up for it. This place was packed and it makes sense because the food was yummy and the ingredients fresh. Love the pager system that let you know when your food was ready.

Best burger I ever had!
Excellent quality of meat and toppings. Good fries

I’m on a mission. It may be impossible. But, That won’t stop me. I want to try every gourmet burger, and every poutine, that the GTA has to offer. Yesterday, I came one step closer to completing that mission.
Getting to Woody’s was easy. From the 427, I took the Brown’s line exit and headed south until I got to Lakeshore. Parking is available in front of Woody’s and on the street next to it.
Once inside, I had a hard time choosing an item from the menu. Everything sounded equally tantalizing. I settled on the Bistro Burger and a Poutine on the side.
The wait for my order was slightly longer than I expected. But, the wait was worth it.
The offerings for toppings are as creative as they are diverse. I opted against Salsa and roasted red peppers but loved that they were both available and didn’t cost extra.
The beef was charred to perfection and crispy on the outside but soft and juicy on the inside. If you’re looking for a traditional poutine, their poutine is one of the best I’ve ever tried. The portions were just the right size too.
The staff is young and very friendly. The atmosphere is casual and laid back.
I would have given Woody’s a 5 if the burger was warmer when it was served. It had cooled down a lot by the time I got to my table. Perhaps my fries weren’t ready? And it cooled off in the meanwhile?
Great stuff, keep it up!

So let’s start with something critical, the food is good. But not something memorable. I’d say three star food.
Ok, on to the rest: this place is trying to occupy an awkward space between fast food and gourmet burgers in a world full of the «quick serve» Chipotle style «fast casual» eateries. I’d say they do ok. Decent beer list, fun combinations of food, and tv’s to keep you occupied. The problem is the food takes just slightly too long if there’s a line, then there’s not enough seating to really enjoy the beer you drink while you wait. Now keep in mind I was here in the winter, and they have a patioto expand in the summer, but I assume it would be equally busy.
Now, all of this said, I could see it being worth it considering the menu’s creativity, but the food was simply a combination of the ingredients stated with a decent base burger patty. There was nothing that set that creative combination above the cut of a diner putting on those ingredients nor did it even come close to true gourmet burger that comes from top quality beef. It just felt like each bite left me hanging, waiting for the combination of flavors to meld and hit my toungue with an awe inspiring snack. Sadly, I kept waiting during the whole meal. The salad had great dressing, but the ingredients were cheap. The bison was lean and flavorful but the Tokyo combo was just a combo with each flavor separate. It just seemed unbalanced, like a kid who just took his training wheels off. Wobbling, but not falling, making it to the end of the cul-​de-​sac just barely staying on.
Overall, it would have gotten three stars if the register attendant wasn’t so nice. She was kind enough to ask a group to split off an empty table so I could sit down. Then she cleared my dishes and made sure I finished my beer before I left. Good people put this place to 4 stars.

Came here after reading rave reviews from other elite members.
This restaurant is located close to the long branch loop, literally 1 block!
There is little parking available so we parked at long branch go.
There is very limited seating available in the winter months as there is a large patio available outside however only about 10 tables inside the restaurant so you have to either take it to go or hope someone leaves.
The menu is quite large with plenty of non beef items.
I ordered the memphis pulled pork sandwich with a garden salad.
My sandwich was pretty tasty however it was cold in the middle.
My salad was fresh however only one dressing is available for the garden salad.
I shared some of my husband’s poutine which was delicious.
The portion sizes for the sides are huge and can easily be shared.
Overall I was happy with this restaurant, the food was pretty good but could have been better.
The staff were very helpful and quick to clean our table, and the food came out quick.
Pricing was decent as you can get a combo with unlimited pop refills!

I had bookmarked this place ages ago and finally made it.
Virtually every positive I heard about this place was fully accurate, from the high quality beef, numerous choices of high-​quality toppings, wood-​fired grill, great value and others.
I went for the ‘California Burger’ which had guacamole, salsa, pesto mayo, crispy onions and a few other things. There were numerous choices for toppings, but I decided it really could only use another, which were the roasted red peppers. I also ordered the ’50/​50′ fries which are a mix of potato and sweet potato fries.
The quality of every ingredient was top-​notch and the taste was excellent. Again, can’t say enough about the quality and taste of the beef.
It’s true the seating is a bit awkward, but I think it can be explained by the fact they’re trying to fit as many seating spaces as they can in a fairly tight area.
The value here is phenomenal and altogether the bill was about $ 13.50 which also included a pop. Within this price range, Woody’s absolutely deserves 5 star as they’re amongst best in class in that regard.

Stop # 7
Another reason outside of my library goal to visit this area. As a burger guy, Woody’s was on my list for too long and now I finally get to add it to list.
I wented with cheese stuffed burger, large poutine and drink for about 16 buck and given and it was filling, given I had eaten about 2 hours before this, I dont know if that contributed to but I figured all the walking I did would have burned off that meal, their poutine was pretty big, at first it was short of gravy but a request for more solve that, and help melt the cheese more.
The extra gravy made it go from meh to good, the gravy itself was alright but i like melted cheese curd not lumps of cheese. The fries were good, I was here with a friend and his girlfriend, she said they need salt but I didnt really taste the problem
Between the burger and poutine it was great meal and worth the trip and the hype

Woody’s is THE place to go for a burger in the South Etobicoke area.
The burger patties are made fresh and grilled to perfection. They have several burger options for all types of taste, from Turkey to Beef, to pulled pork. It’s all delicious. My favourite is definitely the Tokyo burger.
Woody’s is a order and sit down kind of restaurant, it gets packed! So many sure you’re ready to wait, as sometimes it takes about 15 minutes to get your WELL worth the wait burger. They have several additional toppings that you can get with your burger. They also serve sides like salads, fries (omg, fresh cut), poutine (better than smokes in IMO) and MILKSHAKES, and even beer for those who want some beer and burgers.
Service is not the greatest, but they get your order in and serve your food hot and ready, so that’s worth more to me!
Our go to place for burgers ;)

First thing I notice about Woody’s is all the flies that are there. Seeing them leaving unattended bucket of uncooked fries hovered by tons of flies was a big turn off. Regardless, I got the poutine and the Coronary Burger! It was a massive burger was hard to hold it and not drop anything. The patty was a little overcooked and dry other than that it was good.

My sister recently moved to Toronto for school and my parents told me about Woody’s. I scored out their menu online and I needed to check it out.
The only reason I didn’t give this place 5 stars is:
1. The staff could’ve been friendlier. The girl taking ordered looked less than thrilled to be there.
2. The cheesed stuffed burger does not have cheese on it.
The burgers were a great size and you get to dress them with your choice of toppings. I had the cheese stuffed burger and it was awesome. They also have some really awesome looking specialty burgers.
I give the poutine ¹⁰⁄₁₀. They use real cheese curds, none of that shredded cheese nonsense. The gravy was awesome and the large was an idea portion to split between three people.
They are licensed and have local beers on tap. As well as a few in bottles (corona, Coors light and steam whistle).

I like to say that I have tried a lot of different burger shops in town from burger priest to gangster burger to burger legend in Mississauga, but this place is probably my favourite. Their meat is locally raised and you can taste that in the quality of the meat. Also all of there ingredients are fresh and you can choose exactly what you want on your burger.
I tried the bistro burger which comes with Brie cheese, onions and Dijon mustard. When I saw the burger I knew it was going to be good because it was stacked high with topping and a thick piece of beef right in the middles.
My friends had the alpine and tandoori burger. The alpine burger visually looked amazing with melted cheese, bacon and mushroom. This is what I will get next time.
The tandoori burger wasn’t that great, but if you are looking for a chicken burger it is the best one.
This is one of those places you tell all of your friends about.

Woody’s Burger Bar is a small corner burger joint on Lakeshore right by the Brown’s Line. The place is tiny inside, but they make good use of the space. As soon as you walk in, you’re pretty much staring at a menu on the wall that is almost strictly burgers (with some pulled pork specials as well). After ordering, you take a seat and a buzzer and you’ll be called up when your burger is good and ready.
Despite the many options, I opted with the Alpine Burger and was ecstatic as it looked incredible and tasted just as good. The Alpine consists of their original beef burger topped with swiss cheese, mushrooms, onions, bacon, and dijon. The burger itself is cooked rather well, but still tasted great. The toppings only made the meal that much better. The combination of those toppings along with the fact that they had some pretty nice free toppings like fried onions, salsa, cole slaw, etc.
Also got an order of 50/​50, which is half yukon gold and half sweet potato fries. The small was enough for 2 people to pair with your massive burgers. Bit on the oily side, but definitely worth getting to complete the heart attack combination.
Be ready to unhinge your jaw because these burgers are actually rather tall. The flavor and the prices are pretty good for a burger joint. They have a nice patio outside that you can enjoy while the weather is still hot. Fountain soda has unlimited refills so take advantage, and parking can be found alongside the road where residential is. Might make this a regular lunch spot whenever in the area.

Just had the pleasure to try Woody’s delicious veggie burger ($ 6.95)! It’s chickpea-​based and made fresh at the restaurant, you can choose from a nice variety of toppings and at least 5 different hot sauces, which is impressive! Most burger places have only 2 hot sauces to choose from.
We also ordered a small green salad ($ 2.95), which was very filling all on its own and a large order of ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ fries (sweet potato & yukon gold) $ 4.95, they were delicious, we could barely breathe after sharing all this food between 3 people, everything was so good! Of’course, I also had to try the Woody’s draft, which was pretty good :)
