had a regular burger the other day, for first time. Lots of choices and extras. Wait time was fine. The burger was great. My only complaint was that the bottom bun was way too large. It was much wider than the burger itself, and was close to an inch thick. I discarded the bottom half of bun, but was a nuisance. Not sure why they do this, but was definitely distracting. read more

Stopped in and tried the Flipp'n burger It was a bit messy but that's just the way I love it Lettuce was crisp and fresh A little to much crispy onions but it's still a 9/10 burger and I will definitely go back for another read more

Worst food poisoning of my life. I ordered a burger from this place, and unfortunately it was too mediocre to even justify the food poisoning that followed. My friend overhyped this place but ultimately it was not worth it. The burgers tasted like the hamburger patties you can buy from Safeway. read more

After a long road trip my friends and I ordered 4 burgers to be delivered to our hotel room. The Beef Bacon burger (no cheese), Swiss mushroom burger, chicken burger, and hamburger. The labelling of the burgers was very confusing as the Swiss mushroom burger had a hieroglyphic of a chair written on it which none of us could decipher properly. However, the truly lethal misunderstanding happened when the burger labelled "C" was NOT the chicken burger, but it was the Beef Bacon burger with NO Cheese. As I happily opened my burger thinking it was my Beef Bacon burger, I saw a big piece of fried chicken and realized it was the chicken burger. I looked towards my friend who was about to chomp down on what she thought was her chicken burger, but her quick wits allowed her to realized she actually had my beef bacon burger. We realized the "C" must've stood for "No Cheese" and NOT Chicken burger which was quite odd and counterintuitive. The fries were soggy, my friend loves soggy fries so this was a sweet treat for her. I however, prefer crispy fries. I don't know if this was the delivery man's problem or a problem with packaging the order, but we were missing a bottled regular coke. My friend would rather die of thirst than take a sip of Diet Coke so she was very distressed about her missing regular coke. This lead her on a journey to the hotel vending machine in which all the regular coke was sold out. Unlucky. All in all, the burgers were delicious! It was like a brain exercise that required ample brain power and problem solving abilities to identify which burger was what. Glad we were able to level up our critical thinking skills with these burger brain puzzles. read more

Food was amazing. Loved it soooooo much. And I only paid $12.55 (with tax) -- it was a massive burger. I had them cut it into half because it was too big for me to finish!! Everything tasted great, the mushrooms were not canned lol (a win and a plus) and the cheese complimented the burger patty! Great combo in my opinion. Super worth your buck for $12.55!! Insane!!!!! It also kind of made me feel like a child. I don't know why it was a very sublime experience. Not sure if it was just the burger that made me feel this way or it was just the day hahaha but anyway, fantastic burger. Service was great! They were kind and accommodating. Ambiance is also great. Nothing fancy. Had an authentic/ unpretentious vibe to it. The space is clean and relatively well organized. Although, the area is quite small given that they're always jam packed with people/ orders. Great place. Love it so much 5/5 definitely coming back!!!!!!!!! read more

Great tasting burgers. The buns are toasted and you can add anything you want at an additional price. The beef burger was very tasty and juicy. The grilled chicken was amazing and it's awhile chicken breast. The onion rings and regular fries were good. I'd recommend to skip the yam fries, the were bland. The space is small with only a couple of big tables. You order at the counter and it's reasonably fast read more

We had the cheeseburger and double burger with a large order of fries and it was fabulous!!! The flipp'n sauce is not only fantastic in the burger but also with the fries!! The service was exceptional with the owners waiting and cleaning up after us by a darling married couple! The ambiance is like the greatest hole in the wall with the best hamburgers!! read more

Extremely disappointed and upset with Flippn Burgers. I called ahead of time to ask about protocols surrounding gluten free and was assured they change their gloves and follow all the precautions. After I ordered my meal, I sat down to wait for it and watched the preparation of the food. There is no following a protocol for handling a gluten free burger for a gluten allergy. The buns (gluten free and regular) are toasted on the same grill as everything else together. They did not have different tongs or utensils for anything. My burger was cooked beside everything else including regular gluten buns and was touched with the same gloves and tongs that touched everything else. My gluten free bun was placed down on the wrapping paper right beside a gluten bun and then I watched the lady preparing them switch the papers of my gluten free bun with the gluten containing bun. My gluten free bun was wrapped in a wrapping that just before had a regular bun on it not to mention was also touched by the same gloves that handled every other burger. As well, the toppings are cross contaminated with gluten. They use the same gloves to touch the buns that they do to grab the toppings. Flippn Burgers is not safe for anyone with a gluten allergy or Celiac Disease. Their gluten free would only be good enough for someone who is just avoiding gluten. read more

Oh, how delicious! Please keep in mind that I am a hamburger connoisseur. I have yet to be disappointed, Flippin Burgers offers the best of toppings to bring an expertly cooked pattie to life. An artist needs the best of ingredients to create a masterpiece, and this establishment definitely empowers every artist to do their best. read more

Not as good as people made it sound. Patty was hard and probably the worst fries I have ever had. And whats up with the huge bun??

Meat - combine it with fire and you've got a flavour formula that's been around for hundreds of years! Flipp'n Burgers knows this combination, and they know it well. The Food - The burgers are wonderfully juicy with that locked-in flavour that only fire can provide. Lots of toppin's and fixin's fer yer choosin', so you can build up your Flipp'n burger however you like. The Place - It's a great quick stop if you're on the go in Kensington, but to get the full effect, stay a while. Flipp'n's got a nice throwback 50's inspired burger joint feel with classic celebrity photos, two-person booths, and a few modern touches. Grab yourself a glass bottle of Coca-Cola and savour it. Could just be my inability to read signs, but I found their menu billboard a little confusing. I've found myself looking up in the air, totally lost, saying something like "Umm..I'll...get the burger?" But for an independent burger joint like this, I just chalk that up to "Character!" As a result, however, I'm not too familiar with any other items they offer. I'll take a longer look at the menu next time, as I'll definitely be back! read more

The flippin' burgers are really good!!! It's the sauce that really makes it. The double beef patties might be a bit much but we definitely enjoyed it! Also love the idea of adding your own toppings. The one thing I will say is the only sauce I wanted was the flipping sauce and they were a little cheap with it? lol the burger didn't have enough of it even though I asked for it twice. It's just too much going on the burger and it needs more sauce! But overall we enjoyed the burger a lot. I was a little thrown off with the fries though. They tasted really off. Not sure why. How can fries go wrong?? Overall, great burgers! read more

Seeking some Retro cool in Kensington- yeah, go here! I love the burgers here. I have been twice. Once for the mushroom Swiss and another time for the burger with flipp'n sauce, sauteed onions and mushrooms, lettuce, tomato and pickle. I can't wait to try the veggie items like falafel or black bean burger. There's a lot of toppings and sauces to choose from to customize your meal. It's good to have so many options! My hubby ordered the flipp'n burger which had 2 parties, 2 kinds of cheese, bacon, mushrooms, oh my!!! Our son had a cheeseburger. Sooo tasty and we shared a large order of fries. There's not much seating indoors but the service is friendly. We sat on the picnic tables in the back outside in the parking lot. Great place to grab take-out and I always leave with a full tummy and a smile! read more

#134 I headed in after 18 April 2015's Yelp! Event at the Container Bar/Vine Styles just before 1700. I had seen many snippets of reviews, overheard conversations, etc. but I wish I could say what my newest friend, Kate B., said in her review in that she got "what the hype is about when it comes to Flipp'n burgers!" Sadly, I do not get it. I was born blonde but I do not think that's it. Most of you who know me know I eat a lot, I eat around, and am reasonably fair when it comes to reviews and descriptions and even if you do not know me, you are probably smart enough to figure out. Let's start with the order: 1 Flipp'n burger $14 1 order onion rings $5 1 creamsicle shake $6.25 1 Yelp! discount and adding an egg to the burger -$2 So, that's $27+ with tax before the tip. So, with this order in process and waiting at a small table, I proceeded to read other reviews and tips noticing that my friend Wanda B. said this about her side order that she discovered "they are McCain's Sweet Potato French Fries. What happened to the home made version? Seriously I can buy my own McCain's frozen french fries in the stores." After reading that, my happiness began to fade and when I got my onion rings, they seemed overcooked and rather small (a large quantity for sure) but I can tell you that the onion ring type dishes at Smashburger or even A&W are way better. Do not get these; you will be sorry. I don't know if these are McCain's or whatever but I do know, these were not acceptable for the kind of press this joint has. By the way, during the order process, I did see an order of french fries which did look good so, when I do go back, I'll probably just stick with those. The shake was delicious! The problem here was the lack of quantity (too little shake for too much moolah). Now, for the apparently 2014 award winning burger on a multigrain bun, I noticed the following: the toppings were amply applied and fresh (you get to pick those and I hope the picture I uploaded of that bar did post because that was awesome). the burgers (meat) were huge (two of them) I should have removed the mushrooms since I normally don't like those on burgers and I think that made it taste salty (on the whole, the burger was too salty, probably because of this). the sandwich was huge! To be honest, I've had better burger meat at Smashburger and Clive Burger (though recently, Clive Burger appears to have dropped the ball). For this amount of money, I expected higher quality (except as already noted) and quantity (again, as already noted). I will go at least one more time because I realize people have off days; hell, maybe my day was off but my trip to Nellie's in Kensington around noon was really good (that review is coming by the way). The decor here is totally awesome with pictures of golden era of New York and San Francisco and the many Elvis pictures. Feels like an old diner but be warned, it can get claustrophoic. The customer service is about you'd expect for Canada/Canadians, Californians, nothing to write home about (it should be better but it could have been worse). But again, I will give it one more chance at a to be determined data (after my stomach recovers). read more

just an ok cheeseburger for the $9 price tag. I loved that they had so many toppings & sauces to choose from - the horseradish was a great addition! fries were a brutal soggy mess. onion rings were good. service was crabby, but I don't blame them because it was 4 million degrees in there so I'd be crabby too. I will give them another try - maybe I just went on an off day? read more

This is a really great burger place! The interior has a very retro feel to it--black and white photos on the wall are very nostalgic and there is a cute retro fridge where the drinks(lemonade, bottled water, Coca Cola) are kept. Hubby and I shared a bacon cheese burger with yam fries. Yum! Big and juicy, that's how we like it! Our son had the double cheeseburger. The servers and chef were very friendly and attentive. They informed us halfway through our meal that their freezer came back online(they had trouble restarting it after the power went out due to the flood), so we ordered Creamsicle and chocolate milkshakes. I think I can get used to beef bacon. They even gave us an extra side of fries with their special Flipp'n burger sauce. Delicious and zingy! We'll be back! read more

Big sell, okay delivery. This is one of those places that boasts the best burger in the city, but isn't all that great despite the owner's insistence on the meat being pure high-quality beef (but it's not). The size of the pattie is decent but the bun is rather ordinary white bread. The fries are quite good, but not really all that different from any other thicker-sized potato strip. Their store on 4th St. in Mission recently closed down. Not all that unusual for that street that's seen several restaurant closures in the past 2 years. If you want to check them out - identical product in a family-owned operation - go to 10th St. in Kensington/Sunnyside. Is better, however, to check out The Rock and Naina's and others so that you can compare...? read more

Spicy chicken burger was great! They forgot to place something in the bag but offered to deliver and included some extra food.

After a good lifting session, not only was I craving a burger, I felt like I deserved a burger. A couple guys suggested Flipp'n Burger. Without question, I headed straight over with my gym gear on. Flipp'n burger is located in the heart of Kensington - it was a Thursday night around 7:30PM and parking could easily be found on the streets. I quickly glanced at the menu board and decided to go with the signature flippin' n burger to go. I sat and waited so I was able to browse the interior a bit. It seemed a little retro looking and small with a few tables at the front and seating near the window. There was also seating outside but it was too cold for that. I noticed there was a lot of glass bottle sodas and a freezer full of popsicles near the counter where you pay. After a few minutes, I was called to choose my toppings and that's when I noticed that the burger I had ordered came with two beef patties! Haha, I guess that's what happens when you quickly glance and order. Any who, there are the general toppings you can choose from as well as a handful of sauces. I got everything but the jalapenos and olives. My burger came with cheddar & swiss cheese, 'crispy' onions, sautéed mushrooms, beef bacon and flipp'n sauce....Boy, my burger was flipp'n huge! When I got home, I couldn't wait to dig into my flipp'n burger. When I took it out of the paper bag, it kind of fell apart, which was sad because it wasn't wrapped properly but I did not fear as I knew it was all going to the same place, my belly :) I ate with a fork and knife and I found the bun to be too bready and a waste of calories. The pattie itself was seasoned well and juicy but slightly on the dry side, and my onions weren't crispy (must have been the drive home) but the beef bacon was delicious!! I found the combination of the burger to be pretty good but it wasn't flippin' amazing. Maybe next time I'll dine in and have my burger fresh! read more

Solid 3.5 stars, just for their chocolate milkshakes. A notch down from Boogie's Burgers and a bit watery compared to Peter's Drive In. Comes with whipped cream, nice touch.

After a day of crummy weather, with the SO spending far too much time in rush hour traffic while heading down for a visit, going out for dinner lost its appeal when 6:30 rolled around and all we wanted to do was crash and watch Netflix. Enter my quest on just-eat.ca to find something for us that was vegan and would deliver to my neighbourhood! I had heard about Flipp'n Burgers and we decided to order a couple vegan burgers and sweet potato fries! I was very impressed by the amount of toppings available. Our delivery arrived right on schedule despite the weather (thank you delivery driver for being rad and existing). Upon opening up our take out containers, we felt a little confused initially (as were the kitchen staff apparently) because our toppings were a little mismatched from what we ordered. Luckily, both were still completely vegan so I was happy to eat it either way. I had to throw out the generic "aoli" every restaurant seems to give out even when I specify it's no use to me, but the yam fries were fine. Was very impressed by the vegan burger itself and the quick delivery, as well as the cute bottles our sodas came in. Would like to stop in and check out the decor and stuff in the future, though I'm rarely in the Kensington area around dinnertime! Will order again :) read more

So, having a girls' night with my best friend - watching movies, having wine and we both decide (as you do after a little vino) that it's time for burgers and fries! On to Skip the Dishes we go to see where we can order from, and there's Flipp'n Burgers. I'd been wanting to try their food for some time, so the opportunity had arrived. Now I will be honest here. The food was delivered right on time, but still we found that the burgers were still not super. (Beefy bacon - definitely worth writing home about! That was what I enjoyed the most about my burger.) The star that stole the show for us, however, was a complete shocker: MEXICAN POUTINE, WE ARE NOT WORTHY!! Fries - crisp and hot. Peppers - jalapeño and banana...oh my...and the gravy...wow. A little on the salty side (but that's what we wanted!) and the right amount of gravy to cheese curd ratio. Don't be fooled by the menu on Skip indicating that it's "Swiss". Nope. These were the real deal cheese curds. I may not be raving about your burgers, but that poutine is the stuff of legends. Keep on Flipp'n! read more

I totally get what the hype is about when it comes to flipp'n burgers! Fresh made burgers, grilled to order with the classic toppings and a few different choices. We ordered cheeseburgers with an egg on top, fries and a drink. You aren't paying fast food prices here, but you are getting what you pay for. The burgers came out hot, juicy and tasting fresh off the grill. So good! The fries were a hit as well, fresh out of the fryer with delicious seasoning. The portion was generous and too much for me to eat along with a burger. Fries would be perfect for sharing though. Loved it and I know where I'm coming the next time I'm craving a burger in kensi. read more

There are a number of quality burger joints in town. Flipp'n Burgers is joining in on the fun, guns blazing. I'm not a regular at burger joints so I'm not going to compare with the others. But if you want a great juicy flavorful burger with all the toppings, I fully recommend Flipp'n. It's a very small and clean space on 10th street in Kensington. The small space adds intimacy and character, but means as this place gains popularity, you might have to take your sandwich to go. The kitchen and counter are basically all in one. You could actually shout your order from one of three booths or two tables. Max 10-12 seating capacity I'd say. What I look for from a burger joint is: quality buns: check - you can choose between several types quality patties, size large: check - well, they aren't gigantic, but if need more, get two! quality toppings: there are so many toppings, you could make a plain bun amazing drippin' juicy ensemble: check friendly interesting owner who likes being there: check And the price? Not cheap, but not outrageous. $7-$9 for a burger, depending on the type. It's worth it. I'm quite happy with this addition to one of my favourite Calgary neighbourhoods. read more

I've been here before, but I had never tried their Flipp'n burger, and it was time (first anniversary since they opened). There was SO MUCH juicy goodness dripping from it that the mess would've run down my arms if I wasn't careful. Wasn't sure I could finish it, either, but I managed to, with a huge pile of toppings, a side of yam fries, and a shake (chocolate). You can pay a lot more for a fancy burger in an upscale restaurant, but I'm not sure it would taste better than this Flipp'n masterpiece. read more

Ok. So I hate going to new places. I hate explaining celiac's disease because I feel high maintenance and awkward. Right away the staff made me feel comfortable and took my questions seriously. Terrific gluten free buns and the burger was delicious. The (owner I believe) was lovely and even cleaned the grill prior to my burger. There is always a risk as a celiac but they seem to take it super serious. And they didn't bat an eyelash or treat me like I'm difficult. Bonus: they are Halal and can do vegan. As someone allergic to pork they also do beef bacon. I wish I noticed sooner so I could try it. Always nice to see staff cleaning tables and such. Most burger joints are so greasy but this one looks like they take pride in what they do. Great decor. Fantastic retro feel. read more

I've been back since my very first visit and sadly have to drop my rating. During my first visit the sweet potato french fries were home made and delicious. This time I ordered the fries only to discover they are McCain's Sweet Potato French Fries. What happened to the home made version? Seriously I can buy my own McCain's frozen french fries in the stores. Burgers are still super delicious here and they will keep me coming back. But I won't be ordering the fries again. read more

Nice big juicy burger. You pick your toppings which I like. Went with traditional goods for first time. I knocked a star off because of bun. It was fresh but the quality should stand up to the same quality of the patty. It would be a real game changer for this place. Friendly staff too. read more

First time in. Reminds me of a place called Secret Pizza in Las Vegas. Retro New York style burger joint, small, intimate, black and white photos on the wall. Good old rock and roll playing. Friendly staff. Serving glass bottle Coke to complete the time warp. Don't have a liquor license so no beer :( Ordered... Now we wait. The burger: hormone free, no anti biotics. Perfectly charred tower of deliciousness. Had the Flippn burger, a double with two kinds of cheese, beef bacon and fried onions, it was almost as tall as my retro Coke glass. Shared a large fries. Huge. Fresh. Well cooked (and the fryer oil is not weeks old! The fries were awesome. Bonus!) After dislocating my jaw to get my face around this bad boy, my taste buds ascended to heaven. Wow. Only two complains. My mouth, and the napkins, were not big enough. Finished the burger. Six napkins down. Hands down one of the best burgers I have ever had in my life. PFG - pretty f***** good. Definitely come check it out. Worth every penny. Love it! read more

I don't often opt for a burger when dining out, mainly because gluten-free buns aren't always reliable in the taste department, and I generally make them at home. I did happen to read all the great reviews of Flipp'n, and decided to check things out. Man oh man! This was an amazing burger. Simple, yet extremely tasty (and the GF bun was a home run). Service is very made-to-order, and seating is limited, but I found that I didn't mind watching other customers prep their burgers while I waited for mine, and the taste was totally worth the wait. I didn't even mention the fries yet - the seasoning on the fries is perfect. They are cooked to a nice crispy finish, and are a perfect compliment to the burgers. read more

I think this place seats about 15 people. Our group of 5 arrived at 1:30pm and for a while we sat with the friendliest guy who was finishing up, then we stuck his table to another table. It's not quite made for groups. I love that they have three types of veggie burgers, one of them vegan. Most of our team had Angus beef burgers and fries and all the burgers were thick and great-tasting. The fries and caesar salad were good sides. The staff were really nice. Some regulars showed up and everyone glowed with comraderie. It seemed like a nice place. In other news, they have a falafel burger. And a black bean burger. So I know I will be back at least two more times. read more

We live across the street from Flipp'n burgers and we were itching to try in, but getting in shape for a trip prevented us. After the trip, we decided to give it a try. I got the Flipp'n burger and my wife got a cheeseburger with bacon. We also shared onion rings. We got both burgers on whole wheat buns which was a nice option to have. The Flipp'n burger was HUGE. It was enough for 2 people definitely. The ingredients (especially the fried onions) were great. I believe the beef burger patties were store-bought which was a bit disappointing, but otherwise this burger was good and filling if you want to be filled. I would give it 4/5. My wife did not like the taste of the bacon on the cheeseburger as it was beef bacon and not pork. She was quite disgusted with the discovery of several thick black hairs in the burger. Once found, she would not eat another bite (understandably so). Atmosphere is good in there. It is a little unorganized when there is more than 1 customer in there. I like the option of bottled pop. If 3.5/5 was an option I would give it that, but with the discovery of hair in the burger I brought it down to a 3 instead of raising it to the 4. Otherwise I would have given it 4. read more

I bet someone woke up one day and thought "Damn, Sabahat is a really awesome girl. I think we ought to do something equally awesome for her. How about we open up a BURGER joint 2 minutes from her house? She loves burgers! Oh, and lets serve up beef bacon! Cuz she doesnt eat pig bacon. Yeah, this can be our awesome little present to her!" Pros: - AMAZING vegan burger! I'm no vegan, and even I was SO impressed! It was moist, and FULL of flavour! Seriously the best non-meat burger I've ever had. I'd fully go and order that same burger again! - They have beef bacon!! As in, no pork bacon in the house! Whaaat?! Yesssss!! - Super cute vintage glass Coca Cola bottles. I dont really like Coca Cola, but they're cute as hell. - Cute decor and friendly awesome staff. Cons: - A little slow, but heck, who cares. - Its mighty hard to walk by this place without wanting to stop in and get a burger. And we dont want to pig out on burgers everyday, do we? I reserve that for one special week during the year :) VERDICT: Flipp'n Burgers! Woohoo! I'm a fan! read more

Never have I been to a place in Calgary that's had this much hype surrounding it, But, in the case of Flipping Burgers, much of it is well, well deserved! To begin, imagine my joy to find out that this place has Halal offerings! (Goodbye Fish Filets, I'll see you later Veggie burgers.) Next, let it be known that the food is actually pretty great; I'm sure the creativity of their in-house made creations make for some killer burgers [I can only speak for the Beef and Chicken burgers (5 stars) and fries (3 stars - relatively dry at the time and lacking seasoning) but I've seen some other interesting plates come out the kitchen]. Combine all that with friendly, passionate service and you'll soon agree that Flipp'n Burgers is a classic. Me and my spouse make it a must to stop by whenever we're in Kensington. Oh, and they got those ol' school glass pop bottles all cold and refreshing just waiting for you. Doesn't get much more classic than that! read more
