    a plate of food on a counter
    Carmen G.

    Standard Canadian breakfast that is a great option before a flight at Pearson International Airport. At the crack of dawn when you're hungry and waiting to board your flight, what better way to start your journey than to get some breakfast. I opted for A&W breakfast at Pearson International Airport and it didn't disappoint. Got the All-Canadian Special which consisted of two eggs, two strips of smoke bacon, two sausage links, hashbrown, tomato and your choice of bread. It's the standard Canadian breakfast items that you can't go wrong with. Wait times are long and the service is kind of slow. Perhaps it's because it was super early in the morning (we're talking about 7AM here) and the day was just getting started for most. Jam can be found on the side of the cash and you can grab it yourself. Ketchup is also self serve. The containers that hold this breakfast is like a large cardboard plate that you cannot throw away into their garbage bin, since their garbage bin is just a small hole. So I had no choice but to leave it ontop of the garbage Overall, it's your standard breakfast place that is great to grab before a flight!

    Nice to have some no nonsense, reasonably priced food choices at the airport, and A&W delivers in terms of reliable options. There was a line when I got there, but it moves quickly. They call out your order numbers once they are ready for pickup. I ordered a Mama burger without cheese. The burger was fresh and tasty. I appreciated the light toasted texture on the bun. I also appreciated the paper packaging for less environmental impact. Currently during pandemic there isn't seating in the immediate area.

    Double Uncle burger 10oz of pure 100% ALBERTA beef

    My view of A&W was that it is a greasy spoon and you need a coupon to go there; in fact, it still is. However, they have changed the perception of how bad of a greasy spoon they are by being the first to claim That their beef is steroid free, that their fried chicken is antibiotic free and that their coffee is organic amongst many other basic "claims" which are all true - BUT all beef, sold at even the smallest of the burger chains, is steroid free and all chickens served at Canadian restaurants are free of antibiotics etc. Being the first to make such claims in multi-million dollar ad campaigns on tv, radio, billboards and in-store has given A&W an image of a reinvented, wholesome, healthy fast food. Well, it's all about perception, and it is working regardless of The fact that it is a greasy spoon and you need a coupon to get in there; enough said. Now why am I still a fan? It's because A&W has, hands down, the industry's best (new) biggest single patty burger: the uncle burger. Everything else on the menu is crappy and greasy. But the 6oz uncle burger is burger-goodness-at-its-best. All other chains need two patties to make it a great big burger; the uncle burger changes the game and with the pepper seasoning and a diet coke to go with it, I'm in burger heaven for the ten minutes it takes to chow everything down and get the hell Out of there! It's still a greasy spoon and everything else on the menu is horrible, overpriced and... Greasy! (Hence why they put out buy one get one coupons in the mail Practically every month of the year lol) Located At the Pearson airport's Terminal1 post-security (at domestic gates D38-42), they have these nifty self-ordering automatic stations which let you customize the order and pay in seconds on the screen and wait till your order is called out and then delivered really fast. Which is great as the fumes of the fryers and grease from the open kitchen are starting to invade my lungs; time to scoot over to the gate and board the plane without needing a jar of gravol to calm down any nausea lol. Damn, this is a great burger!

    All Canadian breakfast 6.95 plus tax. Good deal

    Man, GC Burgers completely hit the spot! I was craving a…read moresolid meal and this place absolutely delivered. First off, the food they gave me was incredible-super fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. You can tell they really care about the quality because everything tasted top-tier. But what made the whole experience a perfect 10/10 was the customer service. Huge shoutout to Khaled, who was incredibly chill and welcoming. He went above and beyond and even hooked me up with a free cookie with my order! It's rare to find a spot that has both elite food and legendary service, but these guys nailed it. I'm definitely making this a regular spot from now on. If you haven't checked them out yet, you're seriously missing out. 10/10!

    If you're looking for not just a meal but an experience that feels like home, GC Burger is the…read moreplace to be. From the moment we walked in, Khalid--now officially our "uncle"--welcomed us with warmth and hospitality that you just don't find everywhere. He made sure we were comfortable, checked in on us like family, and truly made us feel cared for. And the food? Absolutely incredible. I had the Hot Canadiana, and it was a flavor explosion--juicy, perfectly cooked beef with just the right kick from the jalapeños. Every bite had the perfect balance of spice, savoriness, and freshness. It was so good that I had to come back the next day for round two, and it was just as amazing. This is what customer service should be. Khalid uncle runs this place with so much love, and you can taste it in every bite. If you're in the area (or even if you're not-- I come from Pickering for), GC Burger deserves your business. I know I'll be back again and again!

    Ever since this place opened, I've been meaning to stop by as it's nearby…read more When I walked in, I was absolutely starving and I saw the sign for the "Bros" lunch special, $9.99 w/ fries & a drink. DONE! Food did take some time, so keep that in mind. I think I waited ~10mins after ordering. Both burger and fries were in open containers in the brown paperbag. For the fries, I'm guessing so it's that they don't get soggy. Well, they did anyway within the 5-10mins before I was able to eat them. Not sure why the box that the burger was in was left open. Luckily, they use a wax-lined box because that thing was saucy! Great vessel to eat over as your hands will get dirty. Burger patty was a good size and it was JUICY. Bros burger had grilled onions and a creamy-orangey coloured sauce that had a bit of a kick to it! It was good and you can actually taste the meat flavour. Fries were good, well seasoned, but again, they did get a bit soggy during the short transfer. And like many of the reviewers mentioned, YES, there was a good portion - enough for at least 2ppl! Overall, it's a GREAT option that they have a Lunch Special, so that people can try them out. If you like burgers, this place is really a non-brainer!

    Got takeout tonight, I had originally wanted five guys, but we decided to try this place out…read morebecause UberEats had a coupon and their restaurant had one too (so I saved $50 on our order). The burgers were dry and crispy. I loved my burger, but my wife and grampa didn't and then the fries. They are edible, that's the consensus we came to, edible. I mistakenly ordered a large, it was a mistake because they suck. Super soggy and tasteless. I coated my fries in a meat rub and into the air fryer they went. I liked my burger, it was great. But my wife and grampa said theirs were dry and crispy. So it looks like 1/3rd of the time you'll get a great burger. I won't be going back. Sticking with the better gourmet burger places symposium or browns.

    I've lost count of the amount of times we've visited Burger Factory across Ontario…read more It was our first time visiting this newly opened location on Ridgeway and we loved our experience. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with a smile and friendliness from the staff. Jenna took our order and was very nice to talk to. She made our experience a lot more pleasant and memorable. This location is great, keeping the same aesthetics and branding. I loved seeing new menu items, such as the Nashville Chicken, which I decided to try. The verdict? Everything was great! I love how the burgers are always made juicy, tasty and that you can customize the toppings you want. Pricing is affordable, and there is a great selection to choose from. The strawberry milkshake brought back memories of CNE and tasted like a funnel cake - it was the highlight drink for me. The oreo shake was also good, though I preferred the strawberry. I love the spices added on the tornado fries. I personally prefer regular fries or poutine over the cheesy fries, but I still liked the options available for the sides. I also love the jalapeño poppers and Mac n cheese bites. Washroom was clean and the location is ideal. Though there's many sifferent burger restaurants options in the area, I'd still opt in for Burger Factory as they always keep the consistency of freshness and quality.

    Taste incredible Burger and fast service, quite place to get a great meal. Ambiance very goodread more
