    a cheeseburger and french fries
    Kervin H.

    Food: 4 Stars Service: 4 Stars Ambience: 4 Stars Fill Factor: Satisfied I tried Grillies after seeing multiple locations around the city and wondering what they were about. I did not have much expectations when I walked through their doors but am happy to say that I came out of the place a happy customer. I ordered the Monster burger and the chicken breast burger with a side of fries. The Monster burger comes with a beef as well as a chicken patty in case you were wondering. You begin by choosing which sauce you would like your burger(s) is grilled in (I chose the spicier option but did not notice the heat). Next you choose your toppings from a long list of ingredients and sauces of items and sauces which ranged from lettuce, tomatoes and pickles all the way to fried eggs and extra bacon (which both cost extra). For the sauce I chose the secret sauce because why would you choose anything else if a secret option is available. Overall the burgers tasted great and the portions were good given the price. My partner who is a self proclaimed "fries expert" loved the fries here so take that for what it's worth. The service was pretty good here as the lady was patient in walking me through the topping selection process and giving me recommendations when asked. There is a good amount of seating and is pretty spaced out so it did not feel cramped at all. I enjoyed my visit to Grillies greatly as the burgers were delicious and filling. They also sell items like burritos and tacos in case burgers are not your thing. They offer daily specials as well so take advantage of those on your visit here.

    We loved how the Monster burger turned out. It was a great deal. The amount of freedom you have to customize your burger is also very much appreciated. Minus points for me was the very long wait time we had to endure. For what looks like a quick-serve restaurant, the time we spent waiting was unacceptable. We were here on a Friday night and was surprised that it was very lonely and we were the only ones dining in. There were several others coming in to order, but all of them were for take away.

    Friday special - pulled beef burrito $5.99
    Julie H.

    This place offers daily special - you can get a burger for $4.99 or burrito for $5.99. I came here today (Friday) and got the shredded beef special. I opted for the burrito option. You can make it a combo (fries and pop) for additional $2.99. They offer whole wheat or white burrito shell. The options for the shredded beef were medium, spicy or bbq flavour. They were generous on the portion of beef and I chose the spicy option. The spice level wasn't too spicy but tasted alright. They offer a lot of veggies such as lettuce, tomato, corn, onion, cucumber, hot banana peppers, jalopeno peppers, olives, and carrots. They only have white rice - It's not your typical burrito rice, it's more like balsamic rice. One thing I found unique was that they offer b beans or chick peas. I didn't mind that option and added both beans and chickpeas in my burrito. They have a large selection of sauce, however, if you want sauce on the side it's an additional $1. I really enjoy the amount of toppings they have. I just didn't enjoy the burrito as much since it was too soaked (I had minimal sour cream, special sauce, and hot sauce in my burrito). The special burrito of the day is definitely a bang for your buck.

    Sorry but this is the worst tacos I've had in my life. Just not good in any way. Plus the fact that my order took an hour to make!

    Meh, very standard fare. I got the bacon cheese burger $8 with fries, coke $3. I wouldn't recommend getting the bacon, it's the microwavable stuff that ends up being burnt. The beef itself was a bit burnt on the sides as well making it medium well done. I usually prefer mily burgers medium rare but maybe that's the standard here? Fries are regular, good if you need something to munch on. Staff is nice and there seems to be many in the kitchen making food even when there's only me and another table. This place is huge so there's always table space. I've definitely had better burgers but it's good enough when you're hungry. Just skip the bacon.

    Delivery through Just Eat -- Tinx Way burger, fries, medium bean tacos (chickpeas) and spicy bean burritos (red kidney beans)
    Miss L.

    Great vegan options! I ordered through Just Eat and got a veggie burger (confirmed vegan by owner), fries, chickpea tacos ("medium" heat beans) and red kidney bean burritos ("spicy" heat beans). The prices are reasonable and there are so many free toppings you can add to your burger/burrito/taco. Standard items like lettuce, tomato, onion, hot peppers, but also items like rice, potatoes and grilled vegetables. Everything was super fresh and tasty and my note about no dairy was honoured. Will definitely order again!

    This is their Killer Griller burrito with seasoned chicken. I got the chipotle dressing and it was delicious! great portion size!
    Lynn B.

    Very good. I really enjoyed the food, will definitely go back and the prices are reasonable. They make everything to order and the fries stayed crunchy even after the 20 min drive back home to eat our takeout. Great portion size burritos too!

    Decent selection at a good price! My husband and I had been considering trying this place for awhile and we finally settled on going there tonight for a quick, cheap meal. And it was just that! Although, it was good quality and good service. I got the veggie burger combo, you get to pick all your own toppings and sauce which is nice. He got the daily special, pulled pork burrito for 5.99! Worth a try!

    Good place to eat and. Nice decor, signage. Place is clean, staff is friendly. Caring like they like to work there. I had the beef burger and onion rings. Onion rings were meh... I had better. Burger was tastly definitely got to be back to try the burritos. They have daily deals which I'm going to take advantage of that for the next time. It's right off main and danforth.... Not the best area but it's not obscure location, the area is just questionable but the food is worth it. I would give it 3.5 but I'm willing to round it up due to staff and service.

    That's a handful of goodness right there.

    Had it via Uber eats. The food is exceptionally high quality. We tried the 3 beef tacos and a beef burrito. Every single topping is fresh,and the beef was not fast food quality at all more like home cooking.

When the waiter asked how everything was, I told him honestly that it was terrible. I had only taken two bites, and there was really no response. I wouldn't have wanted a replacement anyway after that experience. I also had some fruit bites, and about 10 minutes later my stomach started gurgling. By the time I got home, I felt awful. I was shivering, felt like I was going to throw up, and had to rush to the bathroom. It honestly felt like food poisoning. And I still paid for my meal Unfortunately, I can't recommend this place.

But overall the guac was yummy and the chips were very crunchy with a nice seasoning. They have a special every day of the week and Thursdays are there crunch tacos, which are hard shell tacos, wrapped in a soft shell taco with some sauce in between, and you can choose between their chorizo or chicken. We got one of each. I liked the chicken more but my partner liked the Chorizo. And all the toppings the perfect Fixin's. They only had three washroom stalls, which were gender neutral, and I thought they were relatively clean.
