Main Street Burger Shoppe

The big chicken Was awesome… My son said the smoke house tastes like it was smoked for hours, he loved it

The burger is a good choice. My family ordered the platter and it was worth the price and atmosphere. Service is good. Good good good location and best of all good price. What a combination. I recommend this place.

I don’t live in the Stouffville area but Main Street Burger is worth the drive for me. An episode of York Region’s — You Gotta Eat Here featured this eatery so I gave it a shot… and I’m glad I did. Their Smokestack burger is my go-​to burger. It’s just full of flavour and the toppings really bring out the smoke. I agree with the prvious comments saying that their fries are proper but I always order their basket of chips with gravy which is always on point but sometime they sell out if you come too late. I guess unlike the previous comments, I really like their gravy, probably because it has this meaty-​smokey twist to it which again compliments the Smokestack.
Unfortunately, I have to also agree with a previous comment that mentioned expired drinks in their cooler. It seems to only apply to the specialty pops like Dad’s Root Beer and other Soda bottles. I learned this on my first visit so now I stick to the regular drinks like Coke and such. I didn’t factor this into my rating as I’ve had flat drinks everywhere but the experience is worth mentioning.

Very juicy burgers. Poutines are really good. Friendly people. Lovely place for great burgers.

Came in today as I was craving a burger, and the burger was in fact top notch. 5 out of 5. But the pop I bought was expired, which I never realized until I drank it and wondered why it seemed flat. So check the expiry before you take a drink out of the fridge.
The fries were good, but the gravy tastes funny (odd).
All in all a good experience minus the drink.

After 3+ years of living in Stouffville I FINALLY tried this place. I heard so many good things that I went in with high expectations. And I was not disappointed!
The burger patties themselves are delicious and juicy. They have a great beef flavour (instead of that artificial flavour you get in other fast food restaurants). They also have an amazing peppery kick. I’m a huge fan of black pepper and it’s quite evident in these burgers.
A yellow sesame seed bun is used, which is my favourite. It’s not too thick to take away from the burger and not too thin to keep all of the delicious juices and flavour in.
I love the variety of toppings that are offered. Quality toppings can make or break a burger and they definitely help make these burgers great! I haven’t tried the fried egg yet but I’m definitely intrigued!
Finally, the fries help top off the meal. They’re perfectly lightly browned and topped with sea salt. Delicious!
Overall, quality food and definitely the best in the area! I’ve been won over and will definitely be a regular customer.

This place is amazing for burgers
Solid eats
The Smokestack is my fav burger
When I am not feeling a burg… I go for the brisket sandwich
Watch out for lunchtime on weekends
This place gets crazy busy then

This place is great. Came in one day after playing a round of golf in the area. I ordered a double party burger with cheddar and bacon along with a poutine. It was a little bit expensive for all of this together but not outside of what other burger shops in Toronto would charge. The food was great. Everyone I was with really enjoyed their burgers. The Canadian burger was a popular choice. The double burger and the poutine was a lot of food. I would probably just get a small fries next time or share the poutine.
Also, if you check in on Unilocal you get a coupon for a $ 5 double bacon cheeseburger. I didn’t find this out until afterward so I’ll save that for next time. I’ll definitely be back if in the area.
PS: it’s easy to miss from the street.

Finally had an opportunity to try this place out, and was not disappointed! I took two of my colleagues and we all felt the same… the food is simply phenomenal.
You can find burgers pretty much anywhere, and dishing out more money doesn’t always guarantee a better product. Main Street Burger has great value and exceptional quality.
Between the three of us we tried 2 smokehouse and one hangover burger with one order of regular fries. There was a bit of a wait, but that’s only because they make the items fresh to order.
The toppings were great, the bun was perfect, and the meat was damn fresh.
How about this; I end the review here so you can get in your car and try one for yourself!

Best burger joint in Stouffville. All burgers are made fresh. As in the burgers are hand rolled and pressed to order. They’re just meat balls before you order. They’ll do a lettuce wrap and they have lots of free toppings.
It’s hidden beside the lion pub and car wash but great spot for a good burger in Stouffville.
Wish they’d add sweet potato fries and had longer hours.

I’m not in the Stouffville area much, but when I am I know where I’ll be going when hungry… and you know even not too hungry.
Place is a little difficult to find as it is in the back of another restaurant so be sure you know what you are looking for. I drove past it twice…
Great burger, cooked right around medium well. Still juicy but not at all messy. The bun was so fresh. I had the Smokestack which includes bacon. Their bacon is awesome, usually when I get bacon on a burger you can almost forget its there. No so here you get plenty of maple bacon flavor.
Fries were pretty good, better than average. However the plastic forks they provide seldom get past the crispness of the fries so you gots to eatem by hand. only a small nit to pick there.

Tried their smoked patty today ($ 0.50 extra) in my small burger. I thought it was drier than the regular patty although it was still flavourful. It was a good burger anyway as always. Had their sauce of the week — peppercorn brandy BBQ sauce.
Grilled chicken burger is now part of their regular burger. Moist but a little over-​seasoned!
Economy’s changed. Sautéed mushroom, sautéed onions (and one more item which I can’t recall) topping now cost 25 cents.

5 stars for by far the best burger in Stouffville. In fact this burger joint is one of the best in York Region as far as I’m concerned.
I love other burger places like Burger’s Priest but for me the quality and price at MSBS are great. If you were treating to my choice of burger I’d probably pick Burger’s Priest. But for my own money MSBS is the place. Also conveniently located in my hometown.
I personally love the Smokestack burger. If you aren’t a big fan of smokiness then I wouldn’t recommend. The smoked cheese and bacon on this burger are great. I recommend adding mushrooms as well.
The interior here is very small, so if its busy I’d recommend you take your food to go.
All in all, it doesn;t get much better for a great burger and fantastic fries. MSBS is in the group of the very best food you can get in the Stouffville area and for sure the best burger in town.

Love the burgers here. I go here almost every Saturday and it has been consistently good. The fries are good too. They use local Stouffville potatoes.
I do wish they will offer some additional stuff like Cajun Fries or some juicy hotdogs but overall, best burger place you can find around the area.

Just writing a review for Main Street Burger Shoppe gives me craving for a good burger!
All the beef used here is Certified Angus Beef with a small burger starting from $ 4.39. Which is quite a bargain as it is how much Harvey’s would have charge for their Original Burger which is not even half as good!
And if you want to be a little more fancy, you should try their signature burger. I love The Canadian ($ 9.50) with peameal, bacon and the use of Maple Syrup gave the burger a more balanced finishing touch.
Thanks for our CM Kris U for ordering all the sides for us to share. I love the potato chips! But the poutine tasted just as good!
I know I will be coming back and I know I will be ordering a small regular and just loaded it up with toppings and make a mess from eating that!

This is MUST try for all burger lovers!!!
My hubby and I are frequent customers here since we discovered it. They use local and super fresh ingredients (tomatoes are always nice and firm); beef patties are freshly made and super delish!
Hubby loves the Smokestack, while I enjoy a regular burger. They offer premium toppings for no additional charge; sauteed mushroom & onion and fresh jalapeños peppers are my fav

I didn’t think I would enjoy the food here so much but I was giggling like a little school girl while eating. The smokestack burger actually had a smoky taste to it which impressed me. The beef patties themselves were thin but juicy and when combined with the sesame bun and veggie toppings of your choice it made for a perfect burger at $ 9.50
The poutine with pulled pork was just as impressive. Just the right amount of gravy, cheese and meat. $ 5.99 for the poutine itself and an extra $ 1.75 for the pulled pork.
To wash everything down got an old fashion bottle of root beer for $ 2.25
I’m happy that this place is just far enough to be an inconvenience, cuz if this place was any closer then it would have to be a regular stop, turning my present one pack stomach into a really huge one pack.

Burger Binge Week review: Regular Burger w/​Cheese + Bacon
In the outskirts of the GTA lies a small burger shop on Main Street Stouffville aptly named Main Street Burger Shoppe. My wife and I decided to make this the first stop of our date afternoon.
So we don’t stuff ourselves too early, we decided to split one burger and since it was burger binge week it was pretty much a steal almost.
This is one of those remote places outside of town where they can get some unique products. In which case there pop also aptly branded «The Pop Shoppe» and we decided to get root beer. For those who came from the Philippines, I don’t think this tastes like Sarsi… it’s so much better.
The Regular Burger w/​Cheese + Bacon is also aptly named, now that I think about it their branding strategy is probably «stating the obvious». Doesn’t really matter, it’s still good. It comes with two grilled patties which are easily squished but there’s a lot of veggies on a toasted bun.
It took a lot of will power to prevent us from getting another piece, we had to remind ourselves that we are still having butter tarts at Maid’s Cottage later.
One flaw I would say is their straws are too short for the Pop Shoppe drinks. Otherwise at the regular price at $ 8.63 it is still worth it even with the drive to Stouffville with dessert at Newmarket.

Unilocal CM Kris U. of the Greater Toronto Area loves his fresh, quality homemade hamburgers.
So, what a clever idea for Kris U. to start the year 2014 w/​a monthly CMYE Burger Brigade for Unilocalers to try amazing burgers at different burger joints throughout the GTA. Hubby & I were fortunate to attend the 6^th meeting of the Burger Brigade, held on 6÷11÷14, w/​GTA Unilocalers for a sensory burger overload at Main St. Burger Shoppe in Stouffville (the «f» is silent) in Ontario, Canada.



The Main St. Burger Shoppe offers a choice of up to 4 fresh homemade hamburger patties (each is 4 oz.) grilled to order in a toasted sesame-​seed loaded hamburger bun. They also have their signature burgers:

— The Canadian — 1 patty, 2 bacon strips, 2 slices peameal bacon (boneless pork loin rolled in cornmeal & originating in Toronto), cheddar cheese, 100% Canadian maple syrup.
— The Smokestack — 2 smoked patties, 2 bacon strips, 2 slices smoked cheese.
— The Hangover — 2 patties, 2 bacon strips, 2 slices cheddar cheese, fried egg, sautéed onions.
— The D.O.A. (Dead on Arrival) Burger — 3 patties, 3 slices cheese, 3 bacon strips, pulled pork.
All orders come w/​free non-​meat toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles, relish, olive relish, red onion, sautéed onions, sautéed mushrooms, hot peppers, jalapeño peppers) & free sauces (mustard, ketchup, mayo, honey mustard, Dijon mustard, BBQ sauce, hot sauce).

Hubby & I had:
— The Canadian. Added lettuce, tomato, jalapeño peppers. So delicious & juicy, including the stellar toasted bun that was loaded w/​sesame seeds. A thick & filling burger, the freshness of the beef couldn’t be beat & loved it w/​the bacon & the sweetness of the maple syrup.
— Regular Burger — 2 patties w/​free toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles, relish, olive relish, sautéed onions, sautéed mushrooms) & sauces (honey mustard, ketchup, mayo). This was of the finest quality of freshness, juiciness, & full of flavor! Couldn’t believe how thick the burger sandwich was. As I had requested most of the toppings/​sauces, it was quite messy to eat, but not complaining, as it was too good to be true. Amazing! (also wished I had the appetite to try the Smokestack.)

Unilocalers paid for their own burgers & CM Kris U. paid for the drinks & sides for all of us (thank you, Kris, very much appreciate!). We shared:

— French Fries — freshly made & crispy; locally sourced from nearby Simpson Produce farm. Not bad at all.
— Poutine — French fries topped w/​cheese curds & gravy, originating in Quebec. A Canadian specialty that is filling & a meal by itself.
— Potato Chips — fresh, thinly cut, lightly salted, & served warm right out of the fryer. So tasty, crunchy, & out of this world! We all fell in love with this!
— Bottled Dad’s root beer & a green lime soda. Both were refreshing! They also had other bottled flavors, as well as canned soda.
Opened in Aug 2013, the Main St. Burger Shoppe is family run by 2 brothers, John & Dewey, who love their burgers & previously owned a pizza business for 13 years. Located behind a pub & next to a car wash in the small town of Whitchurch-​Stouffville of 38,000 residents — 31 miles north of downtown Toronto & surrounded by scenic rolling green hills of the Oak Ridges Moraine. I love these Main Streets of these small towns where you find quaint shops that you can’t resist going into!

This small burger joint is attractive & clean, w/​a few tables (check out that cool buffed silver top one) & window counter tables that can seat 18 total.
Many thanks to Kris U. & fellow GTA Unilocalers for their warm hospitality & introducing hubby & me to Main St. Burger Shoppe in Stouffville! Will definitely return if we’re in town! Something we can’t get back at home.
Note: Kudos to Kris U. for being a great CM for GTA in rounding up Unilocalers to drive long distances to attend Unilocal events! This area comprises the outlying suburbs of Toronto proper, & encompasses 2,751 sq miles w/​a population of about 5.5 mil; whereas, Oahu encompasses 297 sq miles w/​a population of 953,000. Demographics are surely different.

WOW. Yet another incredible MEAT-​ing of the Unilocal GTA Burger Brigade occurred here last night and it certainly did not disappoint!
I arrived a few minutes early to scope out the joint and grab seating, a word to the wise, this isn’t a HUGE sit down place, but they do offer about 10 – 14 seats with table space and about 4 – 5 bar stools by the window. If going during busy times, be sure to plan accordingly.
The burger options aren’t overwhelming so a decision shouldn’t be that hard to come by but the smoked ingredients included in the Smokestack sounded too delicious to not try. Other options were basic burgers in small or regular, a burger called the hangover and another named the Canadian.
The burgers are made to order so they take a couple extra minutes to make. They’re cooked on a flat top and pressed a little thicker than your average burger. Cooked to a crumbly meaty perfection. My burger was amazing and cooked through, I think I might even make a special request next time to see if they’ll cook it a little less as I tend to be a medium burger kinda guy (don’t judge).
For sides they offer the burger joint standards (fries, fries w/​gravy, and Poutine). I wasn’t the biggest fan of the fries but the poutine made up for it in my mind — then again I’m kinda off fries right now, so you’ll probably love ‘em!
The x-​factor here was their made to order potato chips. TO. DIE. FOR. Sliced fresh and deep fried so that they are still warm and lightly seasoned when they hit your table. No one else is offering this as a side option at the moment and between that and the burgers Main Street has found a way to set themselves apart!
To drink they also carry a line of Soda Pops that are a bit more «gourmet» if you will, including a flash back to my childhood — Dad’s Root beer! Yumm!
Great Burger joint — totally worth the trek to Stouffville!
Eatcrest Out!
