Heard lots of good things about this place especially from locals so decided to give it a try since…read moreI was in the area. It's a small old-school diner conveniently by Kipling TTC/GO station. I tried their cheeseburger and poutine. For the price, the cheeseburger is not too special but I really enjoyed the poutine - the gravy melted the cheese perfectly. One of the downsides is they only accept cash. You are also able to customize your burger.

Found myself in the area and went here because the Dundas Street Grill apparently only stays open…read moreuntil 2:30 p.m., which was ten minutes before I got there. Ambience? This place is old Etobicoke architecture, in stark contrast to the shiny new condos, Scotiabank, and Farm Boy across the street. But I'd be lying if I said I don't have a soft spot in my heart for classic Toronto buildings, so in I went. The decor is funky retro dinerish. From seeing the ATM as the first thing before the counter started, and the fact the guy before me paid in cash, I intuited that this might be cash only, although I didn't confirm that since I actually had some of the folding stuff on me. A cheeseburger, small chocolate shake and French fries set me back $17.05. Not cheap, but not too much more than other fast food in Toronto. From what I saw from the other orders in front of mine, they have a wide menu selection including grilled chicken, steak, and veggie burgers. Also, the bacon they were adding to other sandwiches looked tasty too! The cashier was pleasant and the sandwich assembly line was efficient, and soon I was sitting down with my meal. The place was constantly busy while I was there. The fries were really good. Crisp but fluffy, not greasy, and unsalted, because as an adult, I could pick up one of the provided salt shakers and choose where I wanted my blood pressure set as opposed to the chef deciding for me. I actually didn't add anything because they were so good plain. The burger looked like someone had used ground beef and not a liquid slurry. It was passable, a very clean flavor. It sounds hypocritical to say I would have liked a bit more salt in the burger, but, well, guilty. But I appreciated the homemade feeling of the texture, a nice chew without being rubbery. And the bun was nicely toasted too. The shake came from a shake machine, and tasted exactly like that. Nice and thick, nothing special, but it hit the spot.. It's not a destination location by any means, but if you're in the area and looking for a burger, this is a fine choice.

I stopped into Elijah's Automatic on a Tuesday around 5:00 PM, and the place was completely empty…read more It's a nice-looking spot, but the lack of a dinner crowd makes me a bit worried about its longevity in the neighborhood. The Food The meal itself was a bit of a mixed bag, especially considering the price point. The fries look and taste exactly like McDonald's fries--which isn't necessarily a bad thing if you love fast-food fries, but it feels overpriced for a sit-down or specialty burger joint. The burger itself hits very close to a classic Quarter Pounder with Cheese, though it does feature a subtle, nice flame-broiled flavor that elevates it slightly. The real standout on the sweet side, however, was the doughnuts. They are absolutely great and well worth trying. Service & Vibe On the plus side, the staff here is incredibly nice and welcoming. Service was prompt and friendly, which made the visit pleasant. Overall, it's a decent 3/5 experience. The food tastes fine, but because it mimics major fast-food chains so closely at a premium price tag, it's hard to see this place lasting much longer unless they tweak the value proposition.

I tried the southwest burger this time which is Elijah's take on In and Out Burger. And I broke down and had to try the onion rings! But I shared them. Both were extremely delicious. The Southwest birder gives In and Out a run for its money and may even be a bit better. Would have to try them side by side to determine. The onion rings met and exceeded all expectations. Each one was perfectly encrusted, not greasy, and flavorful! Working my way through the menu of this delightful, unique establishment.

Like the fact you have 3 options for buns - Brioche, Sesame and Poppyseed. Overall though I found the burger just average. Meat was ok but bit bland tasting imo even with the Acme sauce on it. - Grilled Chicken - added mushrooms to this sandwich. Chicken was a good portion size but just average again imo. Chicken Acme sauce has some kick to it vs the burger version. Service (3.75/5) - Server at front was friendly, however was a bit on slow side getting the orders. Atmosphere (3.75/5) - it has this classic burger joint feel to it with bright colours and clean overall. Parking can be tricky if it's busy with limited spots. Overall (3.75/5) - it's a perfectly fine burger joint however nothing really stood out for me food wise. They seem to be busy enough and have been on this corner for a few years now.

Their smash burgers are one of my favourites and I would give it a 10 out of 10! The french fries are different than other places as they have crinkle cut fries. I haven't been able to try their milkshakes, but everybody raves about them! I love how the store is inside square one mall right beside the food court, but it's its own restaurant with its own seating.

They had 4-5 tablets for you to place your order, and you also have to pair the buzzer with your order yourself. We ordered the original burger, a double burger, and cheese fries, and received our order within 15 min, which was surprising given how busy it was in the store. Overall we liked the burgers and the fries! I'm a huge fan of the potato bun as it beautifully wraps up the contents of the burger. I did find the burger saltier than what I've had in the past which wasn't ideal. The cheese fries were freshly made, crispy, however the portion was quite small. Still very happy to have eaten shake shack after eating it years ago in the states, and given the quality, I would definitely return if I'm craving a smashed burger patty.

I had the pork souvlaki on a bun. Adding a drink after, it was really good for a $20 dinner. The portions are large, though the bun is less filling than the souvlaki dinner options, which are way more filling. If this was a full dinner meal I'd probably go with the dinner, Service here is over the counter. I'm pretty satisfied with what I had, and would recommend this place for those who like cheap, fill you up food.

The place itself is pretty simple, more of a casual spot. Not super aesthetic or anything, but it's clean and works for a quick meal. It was busy when I went, so clearly a popular spot. We got a few things: the Oklahoma Fried double smash, the classic double, and the truffle mushroom Swiss double. The burgers were good, like no complaints, but I'll be honest they were kinda mid compared to the hype. The patties were cooked well and everything tasted fresh, but nothing really stood out or made me think wow I need this again. The onion rings were sooo good though. Easily the best part of the meal. Super crispy, not greasy, and just done perfectly. I'd go back just for those. It is a bit pricey though. The burgers are like $14-$18, and once you add sides it adds up pretty fast. For what you get, it does feel a little expensive. Service was good, everything came out pretty quick which I liked. Overall, it's a decent spot and worth trying once, but it didn't fully live up to the hype for me. I'd probably rate it around a 7/10, mainly carried by the onion rings lol.
