burgernator

it was my first time to the place and i'll definitely be back! i had the bulldozer hold the jalapeños and it was delicious! my friend tried the islandburgerthat was on special and it was just as tasty. nothing beats a juicyburgerand all the fixings dripping down as you attempt to eat it. awesome job!

this is hands down the bestburgeri've had. the meat is very juicy and the flavor is also good. kensington street is also very cool. zabihah and halal

my vegetarian cinematographer told me this was the bestburgerjoint in toronto. how can you refuse that recommendation? he was right. the burgers are juicy and fall apart in your mouth. from simple standard burgers to more gourmet options this place excels across the board. only thing that would make it better would be more outside seating.

as you may or may not know, big chubby’ s was one of my favoriteburgerrestaurants.  in fact, i even helped along the new place when they took my advice on fixing the decor that was turning off some pedestrians, so i really liked the place that was there before the burgernator   showed up. which meant i was like old arnie was in the 80s: no mercy. the theme, which revolved around eliminating enemies and conquering the city, as well as weapons and war, might just make michael moore take back what he said about canadians being peaceful [if g20 didn't already, or with what the oil sands are doing to the environment, look, it's callumpolitcizestoronto!], but i noticed something more subtle as well. mayor rob ford’s motto the burgernator is reminiscent of theburgerpriest: flat top cooking, some crazy-a$$ [as if dollar signs actually censor it] challengeburgerwith a triple patty and grilled cheese sandwich buns, and that sleek modern decor. it also had the other feeling, oh, what was it

halal
great ambience.
we ordered a b seven combo and an atomic burger.
i’d give it. 3.5 stars because of the b seven, which was tasty and good. atomicburgerwas okay, a lil bland. and fries were just okay too. but big portion of fries.
burgers were fresh and juicy though.
staff was friendly!

i would actually definitely go again and try something else on the menu, or just go for b seven again.

and they had a prayer room downstairs, so convenient.

small and neat restaurant. helpful and alert staff. they offer yummy burgers. the big bang, the atomicburgerand the burgernator are super and highly recommended. as for dessert, fried mars bar with vanilla ice cream is a must try. high hygiene. fast service.

dark and cold, the place is best suited for take out or a break from the sun on a hot day. the burgers however… holy f. are they ever tasty.
for a great experience:
order the atomicburgerwith the deep fried herb crusted cheese. nuff said.

...also the daily specials are pretty out of this world.

without doubt the best burgers we have had ever. we ordered an atomic, drop down and give me spicy and lieutenantburger

great juicy burgers. excellent surrounding of colorful kensington market

ambiance/decor

the walls are painted dark (black). not much decor at all. the menu is written on the wall. it's a pay and choose your table kind of establishment. they bring your food out while calling your number. the place does get packed quickly on weekends.

food:

tried the original commander with burgernator fries (chilli fries). much tastier then the works, montanas burgers. it was the perfect amount of flavor. it wasn't dry and tasted fresh.

the chili fries were very tasty too!
sweet potato fries: tasty

the prices don't include fries and drink. it's an extra $3.50 for that. but the price of theburgerrange from $5-14 which is reasonable!

overall, definitely tastier then mostburgerplaces i have tried!

have captain jerk and atomicburgerwith my friend. cozy place. not crowded even in saturday evening. the fried cheese in atomicburgeris super yummy

best halalburgerjoint you can find in downtown toronto! with multiple burgers to choose from i picked the big bang and it was fantastic! the beef and chicken sounded like an odd combo but it takes way better than it sounds! will be coming back to try some of their other burgers.

if you love burgers, you must try this place. i'm not a hugeburgerfan but i'd definitely go back to this place. the decor is lovely and the restaurant is spacious. on zomato's recommendation i tried the captain jerk and it was worth it. my friend had the bazooka jr. and she wasn't disappointed either. if you're in the area do give this place a visit.

our friends brought us here for dinner, we all ordered the big bangburgerwhich was quite delicious. the chicken was super crispy till the last bite and the garlic aioli was a great touch. theburgeras a whole was juicy and a tad bit too greasy. the poutine gravy was bland. not a fan of the communal ketchup and hot sauces and the ventilation isn't that great. i would do take out here.

like most fast food services you order at the front and wait until your food is made. the only difference here is that they will deliver the burgers when they are ready. napkins and other stuff can be found in the middle of the restaurant. i know tipping is always a big debate in the online communities, but like i personally wouldn’t tip more than 15% here unless you do a huge take-out order.

milkshake
definitely not horrible. average at best. i really can’t comment too much on it because it was just okay (easy to slurp but the taste wasn’t long-lasting).

[burgers]
to start off, everything is made on the spot so supposedly it’s fresh. the burgers are definitely warm when they are served and unlike other restaurants, they will fit into your mouth (no surgeries required to overly widen that jaw). the atomicburgeri ordered was quite good, especially the fried crusted cheese – i would say it is to die for. the bun itself did not surprise me as it was not super soft. my boyfriend’sburgerwas just regular lols, we don’t even remember the name (damn).

overall this place is pretty nice, given that it’s located in kensington market i’m surprised there’s room for bathrooms downstairs. unfortunately they were renovating or something so the entire floor was covered in wet paint (referring to the basement) and i did not know how to walk around it. quite a chill environment. i do like it, but no wow factor.

all together not a badburgerhere folks. the burgers are made from relatively fresh ground beef and cooked on the spot. the sweet potato fries were delicious so i highly recommend those.

they have gluten free buns which is a plus. theburgeritself is well made and tasty and the toppings are fresh so no complaints. sure, it's not as good asburgerpriest but few burgers actually are.

my husband had the challenge featuring 3 meat patties and said he'd go back which is a high compliment since he's a dedicated bp fan.

they also have some board games including citizens of humanity which is nice but you'll end up smelling like burgers for days since they have an open kitchen.

overall, not our favourite but it's decent so we'd probably go back. we haven't tried the milkshakes yet :)
