The Burger Cellar

Friday lunch was busy! We were seated, but never given menus so we had to self-​serve. Burgers are great, the black angus patties that we ordered were a good size and were juicy. Prices are high though, a special burger will run you about $ 12-​$ 13 without sides and a side of fries is another $ 4.95.
I had the ultimate burger. Goat cheese is one of my favourite toppings to go on a burger and overall this burger tasted great. The mac and cheese is another story. The noodles were firm as I prefer, but the sauce had little presence — there wasn’t much and it didn’t taste very cheesy. Unfortunate way to spend $ 5.95, it wasn’t filling either.
Service was slow in general, missing menus and they took our burger to a wrong table (rather strange since the waitress had brought it to our table but another waiter took it out of her hands). Mayo squeeze bottles are frustrating to use — they don’t work unless they’re absolutely full. Unlike ketchu, mayo doesn’t really flow so no amount of squeezing will get the mayo out.
Free wifi. Wifi password is bcburgers.
They have a bagged lunch special: $ 10 for burger, fries and drink. I wish I went for that.

Visited for the first time recently. Food was great. Some add ons for the burgers seemed a little pricey but overall $ 100 for 2 with wine and appetizers is very fair for the service and quality of food. Nice place for dinner and drinks.

Very delicious food and great service! We went there for New Year’s Eve and they say us right away, no wait (only for 2) and they were super busy. The burger I had was one of the best I’ve ever had. I got the duck poutine as a side and it was amazing. The waiter was so friendly! The staff came up to us a few times to ask how we were doing so we never without. We will definitely be coming back soon!!!

Went for dinner with a meetup group last night. I love burgers and especially with bacon. The place was packed for at Tue night which is a good sign.
They have a good selection of burgers. The burgers do not come with sides and you have to order the sides separately. Now I am usually happy with just the burger but if you do want a side or two it will add up. Also they have 3 options for the burger patty — Angus beef, Prime beef and Bison. The Prime and Bison cost extra.
I got the Angry Burger with Prime beef and it was $ 15.95. It came with jalepeno Havarti, sherry peppercorn bacon, crispy jalepenos and spicy Buffalo mayo. The burger was very juicy and good. They also have different bun options including lettuce wrapped. I will definitely get that next time. I opted for their brioche bun and it came at no extra cost. The menu comes with wine pairing suggestions and I got a 9oz glass of the red that was suggested with my burger. It paired beautifully.
I was stuffed and ended up ordering coffee for dessert while the rest of the group ordered chocolate cake and they all loved it.
I will definitely be back even though it is a bit pricey. I don’t mind splurging for a good burger every once in a while.

Really good burger place. Bison burger was great. Bit expensive but really good! Will be there again.

The Angus beef patties were tad bit too dry… But overall service was good, servers were friendly. Milkshake was good but nothing compared to Bareburger.

Modern interior with lots of rooms for you, service is friendly and great and the food… spectacular. We had chicken wings and house soup as an appetizer both very decent. And we went for the special burger of the night which was capres which balsamic and pesto aioli … I tend to not eat bread so they offered lettuce wrap… They also have gluten free buns if you’re interested… The best burger that I had in Toronto do far… highly recommended and I’ll go back for sure

Heard of The Burger Cellar from friends who live around the area so I came here on a Friday night for dinner. Ordered a wine and then realized after ordering it that they actually paired burgers with wines. But I had my heart set on the Burger Cellar Burger and both wine and burger were delicious, nonetheless. The sides were just okay. The mac & cheese was a little dry and the poutine was not bad but not great. Given that these sides were $ 6.95, I would’ve expected better. Atmosphere was great and no complaints about the server — he had good timing and was pleasant! Overall, a good dining experience and I will be back!

One of the best burgers in Toronto — if you get the more expensive beef patty option. It was smooth, creamy, had great beef flavour — like some kind of salty chopped beef whipped cream. The bun was soft and pleasant and the veggie toppings fresh and crispy.
Sides were ok, good fries but not outstanding — its called burger cellar, not fry cellar.
The wine selection seemed good, but I drink beer. I had a Beau’s.

Fairly standard burgers, nothing too crazy or exotic that sets them apart from other burger restaurants. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and décor but for a place called burger cellar I expected a bit more exotic/​different burgers from the menu.

Way back when I played dodgeball, we wanted to celebrate our dodgeball championship for the season, so we went out for some burgers and brews. I heard about the hype from some friends so I decided this would be a great place to check out near Yonge and Lawrence. The place was large and comfortable for seating. So we were greeted and seated by our friendly hostess. Then came by Jeff, who was our server and was quite witty. I was also impressed about his knowledge of the menu. He was really elaborate and descriptive on our options. I ended up getting a pint of Shock Top Belgian White beer for $ 5 beer special. As for dinner, I decided to order THE BURGER CELLAR BURGER (THE BCB) — Ontario smoked cheddar, apple wood bacon, sautéed mushrooms, chipotle BBQ sauce and a beer-​battered onion ring. It was pretty good, but a little small. I was still hungry after. You would think that a burger would come with sides and that you didn’t have to order them separately. This is the reason why I am not giving this place a 5 star. I am still in search of the best burger in the world. Im getting close, I can feel it! Until next time, JimStar Out!

Gave the restaurant a second try. This time ordered the DC burger Angus. As my last visit indicated that the burger was WAY over salted I asked the server to make sure they added zero salt. This time all of our burgers came out very juicy and not to salty. Sides were great and seasoned very well.
Question to the restaurant… If the beef you buy is HACCP Certified (HACCP is a management system in which food safety is addressed through the analysis and control of biological, chemical, and physical hazards from raw material production, procurement and handling, to manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the finished product.) why is it we can’t get a rare or medium rare burger??? And why is it we can’t get the lamb burger rare (it’s not beef)? almost all reputable suppliers are HACCP Certified
We had the same server and she was still way overly personal. I can see calling us friends once but not every time she came to the table. I really dislike when servers use the words dear, pal, friend or even our first names if they don’t know you. What ever happened to calling guests Sir or Mam?
Again she hovered over the table as the bill was payed by credit card.

The waiter was too rude! Didnt ask for drink, didnt ask what type of bun and meat did we want. took the menu from us when we were still reading it. Grab our plates when we were eating the last bites!!!
Flew away without saying thank you after we payed!
Food was nothing special!
Come on!!! Worst experience ever!
Wont go back again for sure!

Had the fancy bison burger with goat cheese was delicious service was great the place was nothing fancy but clean.
Definitely a must check out… not sure if it would be a regular spot for me though.

Late service; kids meal was the last!!! Forgotten extra ordered toppings for burger; a rotten lettuce on a $ 18 burger…

I came here for lunch very nice sophisticated ambiance. Had interesting items in the menu like Organic Bison burgers and Vegan Lima bean and Chickpeas Crusted burger. I ended up ordering the Vegan burger and side of sweet potato fries, my husband ordered the grilled chicken with rosemary potatoes and veggies. ($ 17.00)
The Vegan burger was Panko crusted, fresh and to die for! Price for my burger was $ 13 but it did not include the sweet potato fries they were extra $ 5.00. Actually none of their burgers come with sides, you have to order them separately and they range from $ 5-​$ 13 dollars.
It’s great addition to Yonge and Lawrence restaurants.

I was indeed sceptical of the concept of burger and wine. But I ended up liking this place. The «Hoisin Chicken Lollipop» was very tasty (as are many things covered in Hoisin), the «Duck Poutine» as outstanding and the «Angry Burger» was very good. The wine selection was not bad and very reasonably priced. The server was very knowledgeable. We were in a group with lots of toddlers and the server was very patient and attentive.

The side of Mac and cheese is delish. I had a burger with blue cheese and Carmelites, spicy onions, also good. The burger was a little dry, but had great flavor. My sweet potato fries were a bit salty (I liked). The onion rings were homemade and the size of a necklace. Although I did not try it, the calamari went quite fast on our table. Tuna tacos were lacking a bit in meat and flavor. My favorite part of this dinner was the Caesar drink. Like an American Bloody Mary, but lighter and quite wonderful (not a Bloody Mary fan). The most unique thing about this restaurant is pairing a juicy burger with wine!

Well I’m not sure why this place is rated so low. But hubby & I just had lunch here & thought it was rather nice. We both had the BCB burger but different toppings & sides. Burgers were delicious & the fries were nice. Not soggy like one reviewer said. We also had the brownie for dessert. The brownie was okay but not amazing. Service from the waiter was prompt & polite.
I even like the décor here. It kinda reminds me of the Keg vibe. Leather covered chairs, wooden tables, brown tones in the décor, fireplace too. I would come here again. Definitely looks like a nicer dining experience than the burger priest which was cramped & tiny.

My boyfriend and I were in the area today and decided to stop here for lunch because he wanted a burger. I liked my first impression of it. All wooden décor with a fireplace and cozy booths made for a really nice atmosphere.
I had the arugula salad with goat cheese and roasted peppers topped with a salmon fillet. The salad alone was $ 12, which seemed pricey for what it was. But the salmon was pretty cheap ($ 6) considering the portion size (7 oz). And it was was actually cooked quite well. Overall I enjoyed my meal, although the dressing tasted like it was from a bottle. My boyfriend was impressed with his burger too — he said it was really juicy and flavourful, although overpriced.
