The Burger’s Priest

Vanilla milkshake with malt is amazing and I love milkshakes.
And it’s not like a sugar syrup LOL

Finally stopped in to try this place after years of hearing so many rave reviews about it. We had the California special, cheeseburger, chilli cheese fries and Pepsi float. Portions were smaller than average burgers, especially with the pricier tags. Burger was definitely juicy and flavourful, although not fit the health-​conscious with all the grease. Thought it was pretty neat to have finely shredded cheese on the fries. It’s a cute restaurant set-​up with sufficient seating capacity. Probably would not return, once is enough to satisfy our curiosity… can get better value elsewhere!

Ordered the fiery something. chicken burger. It was literally a 2bite burger. The taste was very very average. My buddy ordered a double hamburger and was happy with the quantity.
Wish they increase the size of the Chicken. Overall ambience was nice.

This is my first negative review on Unilocal but I had a really disappointing experience here.
I’ve heard so much hype from Toronto friends and maybe the Toronto locations are better run but I was totally underwhelmed and a little grossed out here.
So the food is EXPENSIVE. And I don’t mind spending many dollar bills on good food. But this was expensive for TINY portions of completely greasy food in a dirty restaurant that had zero maintenance cleaning-​wise that I could see because it looked like it had been a few hours since anyone swept the floors or cleaned the tables.
And there were several hairs in my food. Which is SOOOO NASTY. Come on! I’ve worked in food service and it’s not hard to put on a hair net for your shift underneath your hat.
Needless to say based on the price and the portion size I would expect flawless service and restaurant cleanliness but nope!
Sorry Burger’s Priest but you have to step up your game.
PS if you want a REAL burger with way more fun flavors and combinations go to Holy Chuck’s! Clean restaurant and 5 star quality meat and toppings. And no I don’t work for them but I have to suggest a better option for anyone reading this.

One of my favourite burger all time. Their burgers are so tasty, it almost got me laid on a 1^st date once. I can’t take all the credit, the burgers were real sexy. People complain that they are expensive, but almost tapping that a** was an investment like all the finer things in life.
A must try for anyone in Toronto.

I can’t give the five starts I want to, because they DON’T have all you can drink fountain drinks. Get with it Burger’s Priest! I’ve been trying burger joints all over the city. Finally (!) tried this one. OMG! Seriously!!! Best food ever. I mean seriously. Not cheap, but then good food never is! I’m very afraid I’m going to live there!!! I had the double cheeseburger with bacon. Amazing. Fries good too! My only beefs (?!!): they charge a ridiculous $ 1.50 for sauteed onions, five guys gives them free. And, no real cheddar, only cheese slices. Still, awesome! Cheers!

Average at best.
Unseasoned burger
Dry
Overpriced
Overrated
Shulda went to McDonalds…
Honestly the amount of people who love this place makes me emotionally disturbed. If you have ever had a sirloin burger you would know what 4 – 5 stars tastes like. 16 $ for an average burger, fries that seem like someone barfed chilli on it and a canned drink? Thank you for wasting my time.
Edited to 2 stars: they forgot to give me my cookies.

Finally got to try out the Burger’s Priest after hearing so much about it! I ordered a regular cheeseburger + fries + coke, and my boyfriend got the double cheeseburger + fries + coke — the total came to about $ 25 altogether. Portion sizes are a little bit smaller than normal, but maaaan these burgers taste good. If you’re feeling really hungry, then I don’t think a regular cheeseburger is going to fill you up — double it! It didn’t take that long for our food to arrive, and when ti did, it was hot and ready to go! Super flavourful and left me feeling safisfied and not bloated or greasy. I know there is also a secret menu on their website, although apparently those are quite expensive.
Service wise — when we went up to the cash, the girl asked us «what do you want» and proceeded to look really bored when we gave her the order. My boyfriend and I were a little taken aback at first, but maybe she was just having a bad day? We weren’t taking that long to order either… It was noon on a Tuesday and wasn’t busy so idk. So I’ll dock a star off for now, but I’m sure service will be better next time!
The tables are quite low and the seats are just stools, so keep that in mind if you’re wearing a chunky jacket. (I say this because I wore one and I had nowhere to put it — maybe leave it in your car, haha)

Tried this location for the first time since they opened in the area. We live in thw area but weve never been in there.
We ordered:
The Vatican (made with two grilled cheese)
Chili cheese fries
Cheese burger
Cheese burger w. bacon
Side of fries
2 pop
Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothie
It cost us around $ 40.
The vatican my husband enjoyed.
My six year old enjoyed the plain cheeseburger which was just one patty and a decent size for kids. I liked my burger, which was on the small side. The chili cheese fries was a bit much with the topping and it got cold quickly. The smoothie was amazing. But the fact that the pop isnt fountain drink, you better drink that can of pop slowly.
The seating was ok. It was a little sucky with the chairs being small rectangular without a backrest. Winter time you have no where to put your coats. The tables are fairly small. Its not as family friendly. But the food was good for first try.

So yummy. My new burger place! Nothing to look at but the taste was amazing. I got the priest burger. Friendly staff and fast service.

Every time I go to Toronto, I stop by the original Burger’s Priest but this time around I didn’t have time to backtrack towards east TO so on the way out, I decided to check out one of their several restaurants that had been more or less opened recently.
This location has plenty of parking so that’s a big plus for me in comparison to the original spot and they have a restroom so no need to carry around a bag of disposal hand wipes because you can wash your hands after eating your juicy burger.
There’s also tables and seating (though when I went there it filled up in a matter of minutes) which is nice since the original spot only has a bar with stools for 4 people.
Service is great and helpful.
I decided to change out my routine and get their California burger, which I’m betting is an In-​N-​Out wannabe, though they openly confess their love for In-​N-​Out (i.e. they have a framed photo of an In-​N-​Out restaurant in their original location). It’s not quite like In-​N-​Out but nonetheless it was good. I’d probably go back to what I normally order next time though and leave the In-​N-​Out to whenever I go back to California.
I do wish Burger’s Priest had a soda machine so that I don’t have to keep paying for sodas since they sell them in the individual cans/​bottles (including water).
I have a top ten burger spots I’ve been to and Burger’s Priest definitely makes the cut (which it did with it’s original location but this location makes the food just the same).
Here’s how this place breaks down on my top ten burger list:
1. Burger Bar, Las Vegas (NV)
2. Healthy Junk, Anaheim (CA)
3. GBurger, La Habra (CA)
4. Left Coast Artisan Burgers, Seoul (KR)
5. Abbey’s Burger Bistro, Baltimore (MD)
6. Shake Shack, NYC (NY)
7. Gourmet Burger Kitchen, London (UK)
8. Burger’s Priest, Toronto (CANADA)
9. Root Down DIA, Denver (CO)
10. In-​N-​Out, California (CA)
Parking: Large shared lot
Price: $ 10+
Wait: 15 mins after ordering

Best Burgers in Toronto !
Service is always friendly & as fast as it can be when making from scratch food.
Remember check out the secret menu before going in !

Went to the The Burger Priest for the 1^st time last night with the g/​f. Would we go back No!!!
Why, 1^st fruit flies were a big problem there, seating had very small tables with stools for kids and adults, one high table for poss adults, smell of grease on your cloths when you leave there, and last no to accessible for some one who is handicap. At the moment i have to use a cane and i found getting out to buy another pop a challenge.
Well my g/​f enjoyed her burger and fries, but everything i mention prior we will not be going back.

So good! A little pricey, but if you want a quality fresh burger, you gotta eat here!
The California is my favourite, not too heavy. And the fries are awesome.
Gravy is okay, nothing special.

This place is soo overrated and hyped up, and I finally decided to try it after reading such great things about this apparently gourmet burger. It was not.
The burger was just average and nothing special, in fact my burger was a bit burnt around the edges and there is seriously nothing outstanding about it and bland is probably the best way to describe it. There was a lack of tenderness, juiciness, flavor, and that special ZING when you eat a really good burger. Not to mention it was EXTREMELY expensive (3 burgers and 1 fries was $ 30), an amount that I would’ve rather spent at five guys and gotten a much better burger.

The last time I was in Toronto (2012), TBP had one location on Queen St and I knew exactly 2 people who had tried their burgers. Both of them loved the food, but little did I know that TBP would really take off and even make it to Alberta!
Fast forward to this year — I am back in T. Dot for a few days and come to find out that TBP expanded their business a 10-​fold.
It was a given that we finally had to try their burgers now.
We came here for dinner one evening and the place was packed.
Luckily, we were able to snatch the last table though before ordering.
We decided on The Priest and High Priest as well as a side of fries.
The High Priest tasted like an amazing version of a Big Mac, but I totally loved The Priest. So tasty! The meat had so much flavor + was so juicy and those cheese stuffed portobello mushroom caps just took the burger to another level.
Awesomeness.
The fries did not blow me away, but whatever — I came here for the burgers anyways.
$ 10.49 per burger is not cheap, but they are totally worth their money.
Can’t wait to come back here in a couple of years. ;)

A bit chaotic — but we came with another family during the height of family dinner time. (Saturday, 5pm)
Burgers were really good — the buns are fresh and the fresh ground beef had awesome flavours. You can taste the subtle onion and spices that other burger places just don’t have. Impressive. The Chili fries were a tad disappointing but the regular fries were really good. My kids even got the cookies for dessert and even the cookies were fresh and tasty.
Sadly, however, the madness and loudness of the joint tainted the experience a bit. It could have just been the time we came. I’m used to places that are loud and kid-​friendly but this was almost extreme. Next time, I’ll have to come at a different time.

Went in hoping for a sinfully greasy burger, and it sure didn’t disappoint there! Delicious beef patty, though if anything it’s a little TOO greasy. I got the California single, and it was quite tasty, though I wish they had put more sauce on it. My date got the Vatican burger, which was smaller than I expected it to be, but it was DELICIOUS. Now I know it’s really the burger to get! I got fries on the side and they were just okay. Next time I might get a milkshake instead of fries as their selection of sweet drinks and treats is pretty impressive.
It is a bit on the pricey side, costing $ 11.50 for the Vatican, but significantly better than your typical fast food burger!

Again, I had the Vatican City but only that. I tried the chili cheese fries for the first time and they seemed really soggy. The burger was good but for some reason the one I had in Vaughan seemed better… strange.
The fries I ordered that didn’t have cheese on them were much better. Crispy, hot, tasty and just the right amount of salt. The chili cheese fries I wont’ get again… wasn’t really a fan of them.
The Vatican City was what it was but as I said the Vaughan one seemed better I don’t know why. The Riggs and Murtaugh shake was amazing. I am going to try making it at home one day and see how it turns out.
The next trip to BP I’m going to have to try something different to get a better gauge of the burgers. Still, a really good eat.
The place was packed… I was ready to take it to go but a table opened up so we ate in.
There was a posted sign upon entry that their liquor license has been submitted so it seems they are going to get booze in some shape or form soon. Beer would essentially make this place complete.

I had lunch today at the Burger’s Priest. I’d never had one of their burgers before but had heard they were good so thought I’d check it out. I got there just about noon.
I ordered a High Priest burger (minus the cheese, lettuce and onions) and a Diet Coke. The fella taking my order asked if I wanted to make it a combo (so add fries) and I said okay. It came to about $ 16 including tax.
Whether you eat in or take it out, your meal comes in a bag. The patties were good … tasty and juicy. But the bun didn’t stand up and it all ended up kind of soggy and mushy, especially the middle bun. I’m not a fan of big buns but I think they should make the bun a bit more substantial. The fries were good, though I only had a few. When I ordered my burger, I hadn’t planned on getting fries. Once I got added the fries, I should have downsized my burger to a single patty. There were a lot of fries so here’s a tip … if you go with someone, just get one order as it will be more than enough.
I’m glad I got a chance to see what all the fuss was about but I don’t think I’ll be rushing back.
