    Classic breakfast. Two pieces of rye, two eggs over easy, two sausages and two pieces of bacon with well done home fries
    Julia M.

    When you see the sign out front it looks like just an average breakfast place but as soon as you step in all of that changes. The front of the place is more like a mini market with ice cream by the scoop, baked goods, and somewhere to play your lotto tickets in case you want to hit the jackpot twice in one day. When you venture just a few feet in though it's like being in a retro diner: red booths and old school tables and accompanying chairs where needed. It's not very large but that's the beauty of it. The people I went with go in every few weeks and the owner remembered their names, and the waitress showed similar familiarity. I can't speak to the food of the others, but they order the same thing every time and love it. So I have to assume if you're paying for a grilled cheese it has to be pretty good. Myself, I had the eggs Benedict as I usually do when trying a new breakfast menu. I have had dozens over the years and when I say this sauce stopped me mid chew I mean it. I don't know what it was but it was ethereal. Much love and respect to this grounded hidden gem.

    Amazing service, food, and value! It was our first time. The owner was so welcoming and tried his best to get to know us. He gave us complimentary Kawartha ice cream! I highly recommend if you are searching for a good breakfast diner

    With the major Eglinton construction that's set to span over a number of years, stores on this street are starting to take a hit. But store owner Steve thought quick on his feet and converted his former video rental shop into this awesome convenience store + diner combo, sporting the most appropriate store name ever. This store favours the workers nearby and it's the perfect place to grab a quick bite or even just to get out of the sun. I must say, I was a little apprehensive walking in at first, since I was expecting a burger & brunch place, but I'm glad I continued on because this place has so much more to offer than what meets the eye! Your usual burgers & fries, all-day breakfast, sandwiches, pancakes and coffee are scrumptiously available via walk-in or mobile order. Steve's got all his platforms set up. You can order from Uber Eats, Skip The Dishes, Foodora, or Door Dash for pickup or delivery. The coolest thing is that you can even order convenience store items like a chocolate bar, a bottle of juice, a bag of chips... that's definitely the first time I've seen that. Now that's convenience, right?? Hospitality is hard to find nowadays and Steve's got one of the best I've encountered. He'll happily show you around the store or menu if you're unfamiliar and he'll very willingly walk out from behind the counter to help you get whatever you need. He's friendly and attentive, and will stop to chat with you if you have time. While sitting in to finish my burger, I realized he knew nearly everybody coming in by name. I haven't seen for a while a store owner so passionate and connected to the people and the neighbourhood. Orders are coming in from left and right, so he's all over the place, but he'll take the time to stop and check on you if you're dining in. He really takes care of his shop, including his customers. In this unconventional diner/store setting, he really makes you feel welcomed. Last but not least, my food was amazing. Generous portions for a fair price. Not gonna lie, I was hungry so I ordered myself a Chef's Burger in the AM. (And of course sadly looking back, hunger took over and I forgot to take a pic of it!) But it was exactly what I wanted. A fully loaded burger fresh off the grill, juicy down to the last bite! My compliments to the chef :) CP24 is running on HD in the background. With the current construction, parking is a little tricky; it's more pedestrian-friendly. At the end of my visit, Steve gave me a stamp card which offers a free breakfast after the 10th order. Honestly, I haven't had such a warm and immersive dining experience in a long time, and unexpectedly from here. It's too bad I'm not in the area often. Steve if you're reading this, keep up the good work, I will definitely be back w/ friends! PS: Remember to check-in for a free drink!

    This place was amazing. The owner and or the chef was very receptive to how we wanted the burger…read more It was our first time there and he guided us on what was regularly ordered. The burger, a kamikaze burger had a lot of toppings on it, but I decided to take out the lettuce and tomatoes. it had a sweeter pickle, but I kind of prefer the older style dill pickle. The burger was the size of my hand and wear an extra large glove so that gives you a reference of how big this burger was. This burger was cooked perfectly and super tender, and the sautéed onions were delicious. The fries were amazing and fresh and it had a light coat of Cajun seasoning or house seasoning with a monster topping cheese. We will definitely be back and we are from Maryland, USA. The decor was simple and you can see him making your food in front of you.

The burger was massive and very generous with the toppings. They wisely provide plastic gloves for you so that as you wrangle the burger with both hands, you can keep them relatively clean. The honey and onion blended together to provide an overall pickle flavor. It was unexpected, but not an issue, as I do like pickles. Perfect place to satisfy a burger craving.

    Wanted to do a pick up order, tried to use their site but for some reasons it would not let place…read morean order, but DoorDash did. There is no seating at this location, so if you are planning on ordering and then waiting, keep in mind fbaf Rudy is pretty slow at making their burgers and you might have to wait in rough weather. Otherwise totally worth it, everything was great about my burger. The meat was crunchy, sauce and other ingredients were delicious and I love the buns they are using. Highly recommended

    I was excited to come eat here because I was told it was amazing and they couldn't stop raving…read moreabout it. It was disappointing in almost all respects. There is no seating at this location, you can't even go inside. You order from a window and wait on the side of the street until it's ready. So there's little overhead when it comes to seating, cleaning up after customers, etc. That is fine and understandable yet they're asking for tips to take your order while you stand outside and wait. The order in question: two burgers, two drinks and fries. I was given 1 napkin for all of that. Just one napkin. The burgers were small, just a bit bigger than a slider but thin and they were overcooked and burnt all around the edges. The fries were fine, golden and crispy but served in a small bag for $5. If Rudy is trying to save money in this economy, that's fine, but I don't feel the need to give them mine.

    JABS is one of (if not) the best burgers in Toronto. I mean top of the list, certified S tier…read more The beef is genuinely juicy and well seasoned. The flavour stays with you through the whole burger rather than fading out after the first couple of bites. And please, do not skip the JABS fries. They're basically what In-N-Out wishes their animal fries tasted like. Get them even if you're full, you'll make room for them. Lots of burger spots in Toronto get hyped and then let you down. This isn't one of them. Follow @foodpharaoh on Instagram and @foodpharaoh_ on TikTok for more Toronto eats.

    This may be toted as just another burger place spot but it is far from your average joint…read more I had lunch here recently and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The service was friendly and patient as I was greeted upon entry and took my time perusing the menu. The restaurant was very clean and organized, not a lot of stuff on the walls and the bathrooms were in top shape which I appreciated. I ordered the classic double burger, with a side a fries and a cane cola. The burger was delicious! Toppings were fresh and tasty, and it made a mess with the sauces and condiments which is a sign of a great burger. It wasn't overly huge, a good size for my hands and they did get messy as I devoured this scrumptious burger. The Cane Cola was a nice accompaniment to try for the first time but not necessary to enjoy the burger. The fries were golden and crispy and quite a large portion for the price. I just wished the fry lengths were a bit longer as I received a lot of tiny pieces instead of longer potatoes which meant I was scooping them up in my hand to eat them. Not a dealbreaker, just an annoyance. The wait for the food wasn't very long, about 5-8 minutes and they brought the order to the table. I really enjoyed the burger and fries making this NOT just another burger spot but MTTBS = Must try this burger spot!

    Walked into Crack Burger after seeing the 1000+ 5-Star Google reviews posted on the sign outside…read more It's a small spot, maybe 12 seats and right away he questioned why I should trust Google reviews when he inquired how we heard about them. The owner definitely gave me a little New York attitude about that, and honestly, his personality ended up being half the experience. We ordered two Crack Burgers, poutine fries, regular fries, and a completely plain burger for my very picky husband. The owner originally thought the plain burger was for a child since he was outside and seemed low-key offended when he realized it was an adult ordering a burger and a bun :) Then I made the mistake of asking for ketchup before I'd even tasted mine. Absolutely not. He basically told me I needed to try the burger FIRST before I was allowed to start adding anything to it. And you know what? I respect it. His personality may be a little off-putting if you don't appreciate that kind of humor, but we thought he was hilarious. You can tell he's genuinely passionate about his food and wants you to taste it the way he intended before changing anything. He was super honest, a really nice guy, and made the whole experience memorable. And most importantly, the food backed him up. The Crack Burger was amazing and I'm not even a big burger person. Would absolutely return if we're ever in Toronto again. Just know before you walk in: you may be the paying customer, but apparently you're still trying that burger his way first. And for good reason and it's good!

He interacted with us like he knew us, same with other patrons. He's welcoming, friendly and a riot, very funny! First time here, I got you he said and proceeded to recommend which burger oh and DO NOT ask for mayo on your burger. He is adamant that mayo has no business on a burger lol! Onions.. oh they're marinated for 24 hours. He takes orders and delivers the food to ya. Graciously two other patrons left us sit at the other table next to them because the high bar was an option with my mom. He helped us get situated. Hands down best smash burger I've had... I had a double patty with cheese, bacon and those aged onions lol! The burger was flavorful and juicy! The fries, fresh cut hot and very good! It was a thoroughly enjoyable meal and experience!
