Las hamburguesas jugosas, carne bien sazonada y papas fritas crujientes y el servicio amable suman puntos. El ambiente es casual,

As I have sent many Airbnb Guests to this location recently since they were traveling to Prince Edward Island via Cruise ships they wanted delicious local quick dining & a long distance relative of mine owns this, Moo Ice Cream ( closed for season). What was found out from them most recently is that an overwhelming majority found that the overall value/ quality of the items purchased fell flat to the expectations for monies spent. Each conversation had concerned the rather messiness of individual items, wait time, the tone, appearance , communication of expeditors . For this, with their collected responses & approval for comment submission I must share this with the Public I will no longer promote this establishment (or Moo's Ice Cream) so not to embarrass myself, or Family on Island read more

Food is delicious i definitely recommend and the service is really really friendly It was to good to stop eating for a photo And the restaurant was really clean!!!!!!! read more

They use Cows Creamery butter and cheese for their burgers. Fast friendly service. Ambiance was that of a "Five Guys" bright lighting and pretty basic Décor with white tables and black plastic chairs. Clean environment. read more

Boom Burger - Menu in October 2023 - Burgers Near Me - Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

See all

Boom that went bust. I cannot fathom why someone should fork out $20 for a run of the mill nothing burger that you can get at any greasy spoon for half the price. To compliment your burger you get a sad little 8oz coffee cup with fries. In my case, the fries were over-salted. There really is nothing to redeem here when the whole business philosophy is wrong. If you are not going to bother to toast or steam the bun, that the onions you fry up aren't the sweet ones that every hot dog vendor in Vancouver knows to use, the burger is smaller and more tasteless than anything you can get at Wendys. Moreover, they stuff your food into a lunch bag instead of giving you a reusable tray. They also don't allow reviews on their Facebook page which speaks volumes about how these people are running their business. Honestly, go to Wendy's, their burger is better and you get far more for $5 less. No idea how these guys are still in business. read more

I had lunch today at BOOMburger. I ordered a Big Boom burger (two patties) and a Diet Pepsi. It was a good burger. I'd go back! read more

Reasons to eat at Boom Burger: 1. You love Five Guys but there isn't one in the area. 2. You have heard of Five Guys, but have never been to one. 3. You are hungry and just want a damn good burger. Great stuff, although it is totally the Five Guys business model, down to the menu items and the preparation. The only thing missing is the peanuts. read more

I was going to have lunch here until I noticed a cook with hair down to his shoulders with no hair net, GROSS! No manger to be found. Not cool guys. You lost a customer today read more

A good place for burgers and fries. Pricier and takes time, it's fresh and consistently good.

Six years after our first review, we're still eating here when we visit PEI and still loving those tasty loaded cheeseburgers. Can't think of much to complain about (wish they served Coke instead of Pepsi), so there's a lot to be said for consistency in food quality and service. And also, that COWS creamery is still next door (see our review of that, please). read more

Great burgers and delicious poutine! Everything is locally sourced from the island here! Support this amazing burger joint!!

Great burgers and fries. Quality shines and you have to pay for quality. Glad I spent National Cheeseburger day here. Might as well add bacon on a holiday right? If you've been to Five Guys it'll seem very very very familiar. read more

One of the best burgers I ever ate in my life!!!! I had a single patty cheeseburger with the works. Sooooo good! The fries are from PEI and were perfect. Loved that they were cooked to perfection and still had some of the skins on. Excellent stop in Charlottetown. read more

Can't be found on Skip, which is ok I guess but possibly losing business. Called twice in the middle of the afternoon, no answer. That will definitely lose you business. Website says no delivery. Too bad a Hilton hotel 1km up the road. read more

I had double patty hamburger and small salt sea fries and zasty pepper fries with small pepsi $20 ...expensive but tastes great ...everything was fresh and even patty were so good...fries were yummy read more

The best burger in PEI. The hand cut fries are delicious. Clean restaurant. Very friendly staff. Everyone is well trained.

Boom Burger is the newest addition to fast food in Charlottetown. Yes, it's a burger joint (obviously!), but what sets it apart is its focus on using local, fresh ingredients including Island beef, Cows Avonlea cheese and butter and potatoes. Located in a brand spanking new building at the North River Causeway just next to the Cows Ice Cream Factory (convenient as they share the same owner), the décor is all hip and funky in a black and gray scheme with lime accent colours. The space is very clean and bright with lots of natural light. The tables will seat two or four and are designed so they can be put together to accommodate larger groups. When full, the dining room is a bit loud as there is little in the way of sound dampening materials. I visited on Thanksgiving Monday with my family. The line moved pretty quickly. The menu featured the basics--hamburgers, hot dogs, and veggie burgers, grilled cheese and fries. You can watch the food being prepared. This was only the second week in operation so the crew was still scrambling a bit. The menu could use a little more explanation. My burger ended up having two patties. I guess the junior burger means one patty and the regular burger has two. If I had known, I would have ordered the junior. You have your choice of toppings including mayo, ketchup, mustard. relish, onions and pickles. It was a very good burger, but I don't know that it was worth $6.49 plus tax. The patties were stacked on each other inside a Bens' bun (maybe they could get buns locally?), sliding off each other and drowning in onions and mustard making for a messy eating experience. The fries were a bit of a let down. I like a super crisp fry and these were good, but not great. Not super greasy but not the best fries I have had. Perhaps they are a work in a progress, but at $5.49 for a large, I'd like something at the higher end of the scale. Boom Burger is definitely pricey. Lunch including a hamburger, cheeseburger, bacon dog, regular hot dog, a large fries and two drinks set us back $40 so I wouldn't be stopping by every day. The opportunity to check out this new place while supporting a locally owned business and local suppliers made me glad I stopped by. read more

Food is good, not cheap. My last 2 visit our orders are messed up! This place is run by kids who jist do't seem to care or lack quality control interests. read more

Very reminiscent of Five Guys. I think someone else mentioned this but the menu font even looks about the same. Burgers are leaner / dryer than Five Guys. Its well cooked, just a leaner cut. Their poutine was delicious. Great place to stop and get something quick to eat. read more

It's just like a 5 Guys in the states, but everything is locally sourced and of course they have poutine on the menu. Cost is about the same. I read a blog post that described the burgers and thought we'd try it before my husband threw a fit over another night of lobster and seafood. Yea, I married that guy. read more

Boom Burger - Burgers Near Me - Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

I 've eaten Burgers in a few places in Canada, Europe, and the U.S. And this burger is as good if not better than any I 've had. They don't taste like any other i 've had and to compare this to any other place is to miss the point . really , really good. Now if only they had Cherry Coke !!! read more

Really great place overall ! Food is fantastic ! But everything is a bit overpriced .. I usually take a Little Boom cheeseburger with no toppings but ketchup ! I also take either a fresh cut PEI potato fries or a poutine that also has Cow's Creamery cheese in it ! Definetely the best burger I've ever had in PEI ! read more

We really enjoyed our burgers and fries. They must have changed a but since the earlier reviews, as we were told that Jr. burgers has one patty and regular burgers had two. The fries were great and the zesty pepper was a nice addition. Subtle, but tasty. Prices are a bit steep but we really liked it. read more

The guy preparing the fries couldn't tell the difference between the zesty pepper and sea salt fires when they were put in front of him. And neither could I. At his is about what you can expect, bland and over priced. read more

Seemed like a PEI-version of Five Guys from back in the states, except the burger wasn't as good (even the font on the menu and the topping list seemed really similar). The burger wasn't bad either. The staff seemed a bit aloof, but the poutine I got with the order was really pretty solid, which made up for the burger, which was a bit dry. Right next to Cow's Creamery which is great and right on the way off of the (really expensive!) Confederation Bridge. read more

If you like burgers made with fresh ingredients and delicious Cows Creamery cheese, this is the place to go. Not to mention the Best Poutine Ever. I'm not Canadian and was not sold on the concept of poutine. The two times I'd had it before were not impressive. Now I understand. YUM. read more

Not good enough for me ... I didn't like the meet, I didn't like the cheese, the veggies and the pickles ... The fries were almost "burn" and as been served without any class at all ... Either way I do think that this could improve a lot if they start looking not just to the burgers but for all package. Two stars is because I've already taste worst but it isn't far from the one star only. read more

We were encouraged by the positive reviews and comparisons to Five Guys, but probably arrived too late on a Fri eve (8:15) to get the fresh stuff. Burgers were dry and french fries old, though we really enjoyed the trad poutine. Could have been a different story two hours earlier. Note to self! read more

Fries were great!. Over priced for such a flavorless burger. I have had better at Wendy's. $36 for what we ordered... 2 little booms with a small and large fries plus 2 drinks. Everyone seems to be comparing this to 5 guys..saying it is as equally as good...if this is true I will not be eatting at 5 guys either! read more

It's a little noisy and slightly stark but it's also very bright and clean. The burgers are OK (truthfully, they taste almost exactly like A&W but at least all of the ingredients are local). The fresh, hand-cut fries with zesty pepper are nice. Very limited menu and quite pricey for burgers but a tasty meal from local producers. Oh, and you can get Anne of Green Gables Raspberry Cordial there! The best part, though, was the super-turbo hand dryer in the bathroom. It makes your hands look like they're sky diving. Try it, it's funny! read more

I can't believe how many times I've driven by here and never tried it! What brought me in was their burger love entry, the 'Foxy Dill'. It was so delicious ! And when I told them about my gluten allergy they were very careful to keep my order gluten free. While it is a little bit pricey - this is definitely not just another burger and fries place. Their burgers are fresh, made with island beef, all the toppings are fresh, and their staff is very friendly and welcoming ! read more

This was our second year to visit boom burger. If you know how "Five Guys" works in the USA then you'll understand this place. Great burgers and great poutines. Will definitely come back. Prices are a little higher than other places, but I feel that it's worth the money. Enjoy your "bag" fries. read more

The burgers and fries there are really tasty. It can be noisy at times, but the food makes it worth it. I haven't had this place in a while, and I would really love to try it again (if only it wasn't so pricy.) :( read more

I got take-out of burger and fries from this location on the North River causeway this summer just past. Boom Burger does do fast food very well, making use of fresh local ingredients at affordable prices in a clean and accessible location. I'll definitely be coming here next time I'm on the Island. read more

Awesome burger and fresh cut fries...our new favorite burger place :) a bit pricey but you have to expect that in a beautiful little tourist town :) read more

I went here during the off season. This really feels like they are trying to trap tourists. I got a hot dog and fries and my girlfriend got a burger and fries. The hot dog and bun looked like they were bought at the grocery store and had nothing special flavor or size or anything sooo plain. The place was pretty much empty and the 1 person working at the counter wouldn't smile to save her life it felt like. Service was bad. Food was WAY over priced and I filled out a comment card about how displeased I was with it and got to response at all. Never going back. Only relying on tourists and one time visits. Save your money and go to one of the fry/burger trucks around town instead. read more

I tried the Halifax restaurant out of curiousity. I like a good burger. Yes, it is about 40% more pricey than international fast food burger chains (burger, small fries and a drink cost $14). However, the food is not mass-produced and I guess they need to make a profit. The Halifax outlet is much larger than I expected and probably too large for the area. The inside is spartan. Music is piped in at an appropriate volume. The staff is extremely friendly. The best part of the meal was definitely the beef burgers. They actually taste like beef. The patties are small at 3 1/2 ounces but the double burger hits the spot. I made the mistake of ordering "the works". There was so much stuff on the burger that the bun fell apart with the first bite. Next time no mushrooms, and raw onion instead of fried. The fries were good. I agree with another reviewer that they need a minute or two longer in the fryer, or maybe they should be twice-fried. Just a little more crispness is all they need, but otherwise they are quite tasty with a generous portion. The pop is the usual watered down stuff from a dispenser. If I were to make a suggestion, it would be to give the option of ordering better quality drinks. Maybe real coke or root beer in an old-fashioned glass bottle. It would enhance the 1950's burger joint experience. I give it a thumbs-up. It's also nice to see a local business succeed. read more

Lets just say I was on the toilet for 2 days after . Poutine wth ground beef tasted like it was picked up off the floor read more

Love the burgers. This place is a twin of 5 Guys in the states...same set up, same menu, same serving method with paper bags and lots of fries. Bags of potatoes on display, just no peanuts. Took off one star because I paid $1.49 for their special sauce. For $1.49 I got 2 tablespoons of dill fry sauce...really, $1.49, 2 tablespoons, for lots of fries!!! Don't order the markedly overpriced sauces,or maybe bring your own. For the money you could get a good sized bottle of something at the supermarket. read more

Decent place and likely still going through the growing pains of any new restaurant. PROs: Local beef and potatoes are a big plus and it's nice to be able to see everything being prepared as it's prepared. The selection of condiments and customization is excellent as well. CONs: This is a tourist joint in a tourist mall, and has tourist prices. The burgers don't include fries and a meal quickly gets very expensive when you have to add $6.50 for a burger, $3.50 for fries and $2 for pop (free refills though, nice touch). They desperately need some meal combos to add some value. Also, the choice of buns is something I hope is temporary. They are (currently) Ben's bakery buns which are produced locally but I find very dry and often unpleasantly bitter. Given how greasy (and copious) the toppings and burgers are I hope they are considering alternatives to the buns. Would I go back? Meh, honestly I don't know. The price will keep me away but the burgers were decent. read more
