Chef Burger has a great mix of iranian-style sandwiches from back in Iran. The portions are huge -- one sandwich can easily feed two people -- and the prices are very reasonable. The staff were courteous and friendly. The place itself is a bit small and the tables could be kept a little cleaner (the trash can was overflowing when we visited), but overall the food makes it well worth it. read more

A nice and cozy Persian fast food with very friendly staff. They offer Persian-style sandwiches in big portions and great quality. They are mostly famous for their burgers. We ordered a "super burger" and a "Brain-Tongue mix sandwich". Burger was really delicious and I would have more if it wasn't so full, lol. The Mixed sandwich was ok, but I believe it could have used more spices. Due to COVID-19, they don't offer dine-in at the moment and they don't have a patio. read more

Amazing burgers and fries! I especially love their beef tongue burgers (a Persian delicacy). Drizzled with sauce and served with lettuce, tomatoes and pickles, it is SO delicious and the perfect amount of greasiness. The staff there (a busy, all-female crew when I went!) is always so friendly and welcoming, and I love the relaxed, diner vibes of the place. I definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking to try Persian-style burgers! read more

Came here to grab sandwiches while visiting Toronto after the place we normally frequent was closed and I'm so happy we tried it. Delicious persian sandwiches and great service!! The cotlet was my favorite and tasted so homemade and delicious. Highly recommend! read more

Let's get obvious out of the way. The service is slow. Yes, without a doubt. I waited for 20-25 min for my sandwich on a Sunday evening when the place was packed. They had 2 women + 1 boy working there, but still they could not manage to serve people in a more efficient manner. But you also need to take into account that they make everything from scratch and it takes time to properly grill raw chicken, lamb, and burgers. Multiply the number of minutes it takes to cook raw meat by the number of people in line and a wait time of up to 30 min is not unreasonable. Now, on the food itself. The food is pretty good. Lots of carbs, not of a fan of that, but the food looks tasty, especially the lamb tongue + lamb brain sandwich. Highly recommend it! The Super burger is HUGE. I shared it with my wife. It was that big. Fries were good, but I've had better fries elsewhere. Overall, despite the slow service, I liked the food. Oh, and try their samosa. It's spicy but tasty. read more

Nice burger. I loved it. Persian style and very nice staff. Smiley and friendly staff helping to choose from the menu. Highly recommended if you are around the area in town. A little distraction from the manager getting tough on staff, but I love to see them all next time with peace and smile on face! The burger was amazing, juicy and charbroiled. I try other sandwiches from the menu next time. read more

I tried their food few times. Sandwiches are very greasy and overpriced. Service is horrible. Owner was very rude. He is always in fighting with his staff loudly. It is not comfortable to have your meal hearing them!! If you want to have Persian sandwiches, There are better choices very close by. read more

Only because burger is big dont mean it taste good, taste like stire bought burger, the guy behind counter is so grumpy that you shit your pants. read more

Went with my son yesterday as he wanted to get their burger. The honest review is that it is an earnest, hard working shop that likely needs to compensate higher rent with disproportionate pricing. For example, 2 small burgers, fries and two soft drinks for 23.00 tax inclusive. That is a tidy sum for thick bread straight out of the bag, and a tiny burnt disc for the meat. However, I would always recommend local businesses so please give them a shot, just don't expect the value and quality you would likely get across the street @ Harvey's. read more

My favourite Persian sandwich shop in the city. My favourite sandwich is the Veal Tounge. But if that's too exotic for you get the Bandari sandwich. The super burger is also awsome. CAUTION: be extra nice to the owner, otherwise..."NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!" read more

3.5 Star Best Homemade Burger in Town? Maybe not the best of the best but it is up there if you want freshly grounded in house burger and cooks on a grill instead of flat top, looks no further! Chef Burger ($7.99) in a whole wheat bun topped with a Special garlicky sauce was A-OK. I could suggest less toppings and sauces because one can barely taste the meat itself. Maybe next time I will try a Iranian Sandwiches: Beef or Lamb Tongue or even a Bandari! read more

Youve got to be kidding me with this place. This used to be a good place with great burgers and sandwiches, specially maghz o zaboon. But that was years ago. The food is completely shit now, & i heard the owner or whatever with the mustache is a piece of shit whos rude to customers. Our salon ordered some kotlet sandwiches and cheeseburgers from here on a saturday.. the kotlet tasted like cardboard first of all, and it hard and chalky breakable(picture posted) ..what the hell? My burger was burnt, the patty was not only literally black but i literally tasted bitterness of it being burnt in my mouth. Ew. I called in to complain about this load of garbage they fed us .. & a man who wasnt the one who made and gave our food was like "OMG THEY GAVE H KOTLET?!? NO THEY WERENT SUPPOSED TO SELL YOU KOTLET!!! THEYRE FROM YESTERDAY IM SO SORRY!" ... Youre lucky i didnt come backhand the dog shit who decided it was a good idea to sell that shit to a salon who makes big orders for lunch every week. fkin ridiculous. Jamesh konin lotfan. read more

Chef Burger - The cardboard chalky kotlet they sold us that was made the day before... straight into the garbage - Burgers Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

Checked this place out after friends insisted that I try it out. Well, I have to say I'm hooked! The burger isn't your typical craft burger so don't go in expecting a Burger's Priest but somehow, it manages to hit the right spots! The quality is good and even better than burger is the Tongue Sandwich, not too greasy, done just right and a generous portion too. If the food doesn't set this place apart already, the ambience and especially the dude who runs the place, definitely do! I love how the guy still takes the orders with Pen and Pencil, writing them down on a desktop agenda. Overall if you're open to trying a slightly different burger style, Chef Burger is worth your while. It's highly likely you will get hooked! read more

I really liked their burger, it kind of tasted homemade and not like a fast food burger. The patty, the special sauce and also the buns reminded me of burgers we made at home. I also liked the fact that they asked if we wanted our burgers well done or juicy! That's usually a rarity in Persian restaurants. They also ask you up to their counter to ask which toppings you want or don't want. The only thing I would suggest they do is to ask about the patty and the toppings up front, when they are taking your order and not call each person's name one by one to go up there when your food is not ready and be asked those questions, only to go back a couple of minutes later to pick up your food. Also, just know that the place or the food are not fancy. read more

Chef Burger - Super burger - Burgers Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

The service is terrible. Waited 30 mins for a burger. Favourite customers seem to get the orders ahead of me. Ridiculous! Plus the burger patty was dry. Sorry terrible read more

Awesome place for food. I go every week! Service is good. I would recommend to everyone!

Please please please visit this place once. You'll be hooked! I've only had their chef burger (the smaller one because the regular is too big for me to finish) and I've loved it enough to go back whenever I want a burger. This is the best burger I've had in a long time and recommend it to everyone. The patty is made right in from of you so you know it's the real deal. The sauce they use is also incredible! You're welcome, in advance :) read more

This was my first time here. Once again, it was the weekend and I came to the nearby library to study. I was actually planning to go to Yummi's hamburger for lunch but for some reason I couldn't find it. Instead I went to this burger joint instead. I'm full and my stomach and satisfied, but that's about it. I think this is a family own business. The decor is nice, clean, friendly. The menu is really small. They have a few burgers ranging in different sizes, a few sandwiches, and a few sides I think as well. Today I ordered the chef burger (7-8 oz patty) and fries. They don't have a combo deal here, so you got to order everything separately. My meal came out to be 13 bucks today. The burger first of all was dry and not seasoned. I think I could've got a better burger anywhere else. They ALMOST didn't toast my bun either. I really don't like eating a hot and cold hamburger. The person making my burger said it came out of the oven I think but it definitely didn't look toasted and hot from where I was standing. I asked him if he could toast it for me and he did. There are a basic selection of veggies, and sauces you would see on a regular burger you get at home or a family BBQ. I don't usually go out and eat for places like this. The fries were probably the worst. Not crispy, and they also forgot about my order (I had to remind them I ordered fries). They were not seasoned at all, so I had to bring out the salt shaker. Even if I tried, I couldn't find a compliment for the fries. Eventually it got so bad that I had to take out the ketchup (I usually don't like using ketchup) and dip the fries in it so that I could get a change in flavour. I think lack of passion is the problem with this place. Food is a business but just like everything else in life, you need to be passionate about what you do. In fact, in a customer-oriented business like a restaurant, lack of passion really reflects in the quality of service and FOOD most importantly. If I wanted this kind of burger I could've just made it at home by myself with some patties from Costco and some store bought sauces. I didn't have to bike 20 minutes to go there. Anyways, unless they're willing to make a change in the near future I'm not planning to come back. You can give this place a shot, but I warned you. read more

I'd never seen any burgers served so HUGE in Toronto ever before. This place takes the cake....NO!.....THE ENTIRE CAKESHOP FOR THAT! First of all the atmosphere inside the store is very calm, relaxing and clean with an open range kitchen where you can see your burgers cooked in front of you, fresh. If you don't have the time to see your burgers made, you can always sit down in their comfortable chairs and use their free wi-fi internet by asking them for the password. The only 2 problems I have with this restaurant is that the burgers or sandwiches that you get aren't the same price as MickeyD's is offering and that you can expect to pay around $10 to 20 for a burger combo but the PRICE IS WORTH IT as they make their BURGERS FRESH daily and not factory frozen with "artificial meat" and Ammonia inside it like MickeyD's does. Also, this place doesn't offer any alcohol as management is very strict about it but that's okay because they want to make this a family-friendly environment and I am okay with that. So if you ever want to have a relaxing day and want to try a place where you food is prepared fresh right in front of your own eyes, then Chef burger is the place to go. read more

My Persian friend recommended this restaurant. Their sandwiches are huge. Their burgers are huge, fresh, and home made. I suggest that you try their Persian sandwiches. If you are feeling adventurous try their tongue sandwiches!!. Free WiFi. read more

They actually close at 10:30 not 11. We drove for more than half an hour based on the hours they posted on Google maps and when we arrived they said they close at 10:30 and can't take our order. We explained to them but they didn't care at all!!! Very unprofessional and uncaring. read more

Chicken burger was good since it was freshly made, my friend's beef burger was subpar. The chicken burger was $8, beef burger was $9 with cheese $1, fries was $3 but we got charged $30 cash. No idea how the girl did the calculation, they also conveniently forgot the cheese... never coming back again. read more

The best tasting Persian fastfood in Richmond hill and Toronto area. Burger is a must try here!

After a pretty significant biatus (burger-hiatus), I managed to work in some post-holidays burgasm goodness on New Years Day. Chef Burger has been taunting me for ages (my girlfriend lives right near it, and I always drive by it), and I just couldn't take it anymore. This place has a real 'mom and pop' vibe to it. There are plenty of tables inside (with abnormally comfortable seats I might add), and a TV/MP3 corner spitting out entertainment. They also offer free Wifi. They offer standard burgers, quarter pounders, and 2 monsters, the Super and the Chef Burger, and I ordered one of each monster. The topping selection can't be beat. They'll even throw in quality items like mushrooms for a small fee. I couldn't recgonize one of their condiments, and inquired. The extremely friendly gentleman preparing the burgers (perhaps the owner?) told me it's their own sauce, which was basically mayo with additional herbs and whatnot to give it its own unique flavour. He seemed pretty proud of the stuff, so I had him throw that on the burgers. These patties were huge! Another thing I really liked about this place (unlike joints like Wimpys), is that they have their own custom buns to accomodate their huge freakshow patties, and don't just let patty hang out the sides of standard buns, like some fat guy in tiny jeans. They'll also toast the buns as well, which is cool. The prices weren't too bad given the amount of burger you receive. My Chef Burger and Super Burger came to around 15 bucks if I'm not mistaken. As for the burgers themselves, the buns were fresh, and the burgers were perfectly cooked and tasty. The special sauce wasn't too shabby either. It reminded me a little of the sauce they put on the burgers at Licks, and that's not a bad thing. Thanks for knocking me off the wagon, Chef Burger. I'll definitely return. read more

The burger itself was ok (not the best I've had...). But the attitude of the owner and the cashier: 0. The guy thinks he's god and very disrespectful and terrible attitude. I will not ever go to a place where I'm being disrespected and pay $9 for a single burger (fries and drinks not included). There are tons of good burger places in town where you're gonna be treated with respect as a customer and not having to look at a miserable rude owner who thinks he's the god and owns the world for serving a burger!!!! read more

I'm a fan now. I've gone on a burger hunt in the city as of late, nothing comes close to the burger here which I find amazing. It's fresh and you can taste it. Add the garlic sauce and parsley as toppings also the Persian pomegranate non-alcoholic beer goes down perfect with it. read more

Not a basic burger joint. This middle eastern establishment is more a sandwich shop. Some unique sandwich items such as lamb tongue. I got a burger, which was made fresh, but not sure on the cut of beef, had a gamey taste to it, maybe I got tongue. Not cheap either. $8.50 for just the burger. Another $3 if you want fries, which I did not partake. read more

Just left the place. Awful experience! Worst food ever! Angry chef! Exhausted staff! And awful food! They are not hygiene at all. The so called chef just cleaned his noise with his bare hand and didn't even bother to clean his hand before touching my food right in front of eyes! I have real food hygienic concerns for this place! Awful experience! Will never go back! read more

Wow! I had heard a lot of great things about this restaurant, and my high expectation was not disappointed! Located in the same plaza as my brother's Orthodontist office, I decided to give it a try. The other post does a great job to explain the feel of the restaurant (mom and pop feel, wifi), so I will just also confirm: 1) the service was great - the lady (who I think was the owner) was very friendly 2) the burgers were delicious - freshly made beef, buns, and toppings. My girlfriend had the small, and I had the chef burger and both were quite large. What I really liked was that we didn't feel 'gross' and guilty after the burgers. They hit the spot and left us feeling full, satisfied, and not heavy. read more

I wasn't impressed. The owner was nice enough and the place clean with good seating. It wasn't a bad burger, just nothing special. Burger was well presented and looked very tasty, but it just didn't get there. Also, the fries were store bought frozen I think, but if not then tasteless enough to have been. read more

Oh My Gosh! No wonder this place is on the list of must-visit places in Toronto. I was visiting Toronto and asked a couple of friends who had visited Toronto to recommend places the enjoyed visiting and they both said make sure visit Chef Burger. I am not even a burger persor but their recommendations were so strong I could not ignore. And I am so glad I didn't. Oh my goodness! Homemade burgers and sandwiches at unbelievable prices to die for! DELICIOUS! My mouth is watering as I write this review. What a well-kept secret! I highly recommend this place. The food is fresh, delicious and well-made and the prices are very reasonable. Go and try it. You would not regret! read more

Came in and ordered a chef burger, fries and pop to go. The service here is little to none. The man double charged me for a pop and I didn't bother to mention it to him. Service is cold borderline uncomfortable. The place is clean, which I do appreciate. But if the service is poor, then your burgers must be out of this world. Sadly it was just a normal homemade burger, with loads of garlic mayo type of sauce. The fries were good. Nothing worth repeating for. read more

I was their customer for their good food since the beginning although the owner is not the friendliest person. I didn't mind that until the last time I was there they gave us a very spicy sandwich and refused to accept it was spicy. It because worse when the guy offered to give us bananas to soothe the heat!!! while we were having sandwiches. Then to make things worse, he took a spoon, came and started searching my sandwich for pepper pieces!!!! I had never ever seen anything like this anywhere even at the least prestigious restaurants. I'm still shocked at what I saw! read more

Horrible service. The door was open so we entered and were promptly yelled at "we're closed" (no hello/welcome/sorry). Extremely rude! Will not be going back here again. read more

Burger is the best hear! It's not very heavy or greasy. In general sandwiches are homemade style. Highly recommended!
