Delicious impossible burger! I ordered takeout and got the combo. I added jalapeño and banana peppers to the burger and it was so yummy. Definitely one of the top burger spots in the city. The service was quick and I can't speak on ambiance but the aesthetic is cute. I will be reordering again!! read more

Happy Burger - Impossible burger and onion rings - Hot Dogs Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I'm honestly not a huge fan of burgers, but I had to try as every Toronto native was raving about this place. They were right, the whole meal was really enjoyable. To start the burgers aren't greasy and they are packed with flavor. They use a super soft and slightly sweet bun that pairs nicely with the savory and salty meat. The fries were a little overcooked for my taste, but the Cajun seasoning was a good blend of spices. 7.6/10. Surprisingly the dessert was the best thing it wasn't overly sweet and if you like Banana flavored things you're going to love this. 8.2/10 a really solid burger and a good dessert if I'm ever in Toronto again I would go for a 2nd time read more

I'm always a happy camper after a visit to Happy Burger. This time, I got a Happy Chicken and a Happy Cheeseburger combo. The cheeseburger was amazing, though if you're a big eater, I'd recommend upgrading to the double. The chicken burger was massive and delicious--though I wish the chicken had been crispier, it was still really good. I also love that they serve waffle-cut fries, my favourite fry shape. While this place is on the pricier side, I treat myself to it occasionally when I'm craving a great burger that's close to me. read more

I can't rave enough of this place, the burgers here are to die for. If you are like me who loves smash burgers go no further they got you covered. We went here for Mother's Day lunch and had a fantastic meal. We ordered their cheese burgers, double cheeseburgers, Cajun and regular waffle fries. The food was outstanding. The pattie was perfectly smashed, grilled and the meat quality was too good. Super moist yet crispy at the edges perfect smThe waffle fries were a piping hot and delicious. My daughter tried their crispy chicken sandwich on a potato bun topped with lettuce and their house sauce. It was pretty good but I would stick to the beef burgers for sure. They have super cute little shop with a window serving food. You go in and order and they are a few tables outsides. Lots of street paid parking right in front of the places. They definitely are at the top of their game. I hope they continue serving delicious burger . The staff is very friendly and helpful. read more

Ordered a late night burger to my hotel room on my recent stay in Toronto. I came across this place in Yelp. The burgers looked very tasty, and it held up nicely, even after a bike ride to the Marriott next to the Blue Jays stadium. I have no reference for what the brick and mortar shop looks like, but would definitely check these guys out for other types of burgers because it hit the spot. read more

Another beautiful day and another burger review, today's stop came after visiting the Geary Art Crawl on a Sunday. Happy Burger is a small spot, very tight area to order but a very friendly and happy to help staff. I guess the name should have told me that I ordered a double happy cheeseburger with everything, waffle fries with Cajun and bread pudding. It's been a minute since walking to a burger spot with bread pudding so I'm stoked to try it. They take your number and text you when it's ready to go. I am currently on their patio, which seats 6, 4 other people waiting for their orders and a constant stream of bicycle delivery drivers coming and going which is typically a good sign for a spot. Waffle fries are very tasty with a solid Cajun dusting. The burger...let me say that I think I have a new favourite in the city. The bun is soft, the chopped onions are a perfect size, the cheese is perfectly melted and the flavour is just about perfect. Very filling too, so much I'm going to post this and come back to edit once I've had the pudding. See you soon. Ok I'm back after tasting the pudding and it did not disappoint. That confirms it this spot is fire you need to check it out. read more

Service was meh. I ordered online and when I arrived at the ready time, it still wasn't ready and the staff made me wait another 15-20 mins for my burger. I really liked their potato bun but the burger was on the small side... I guess typical of other smashed burgers. Toppings were good and the patty was seasoned. Just disliked the service as they don't even acknowledge that you're there in person to pick up an order and made you wait even more. I will not be going back as the experience did not make me feel Happy at all. read more

Update: I got the oklahoma style onion burger and it was delicious! I loved this burger, and the fries were nicely seasoned but I really wish it came with a creamy herby sauce to dip. Oreo milk shake was pretty good too! read more

The food is delicious! Cute little spot tucked near the main road. Orders are ready quickly and taste amazing. Couldn't get enough of it.

Their beef burgers are delicious but I can't resist their HAPPY CHICKEN which is a fried chicken breast topped with lettuce, pickle, cheese and happy sauce on a potato bun. Their chicken could be crispier but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt as I always preorder for takeout instead of having it at its freshest. I do love how tender the meat is, never dry despite it being white meat! The amount of condiments they put on is perfect and I love how soft the potato bun is, it definitely makes it feel more gourmet than your average seeded burger bun. Though tasty enough on its own, I do like to order a side of BUFFALO SAUCE and pour it on each bite for a little kick. With their combo option, I always get the WAFFLE FRIES, which are lightly salted, soft, with a slight crisp. I find these fries to be on the drier side, but this gives me the excuse to pair them with their SOUR CREAM DIP. I love the layout concept of their store, as it has a cute little pickup window with some patio seating outside. The inside of the actual store is very small, and only has a mini area for you to pay and pickup. Not the most ideal if you're looking to dine-in but this is a great place for a quick bite! read more

So happy I decided to stop by here to get my family some burgers!! Came here at around 4pm and there was only one person in line ahead of me. I ordered 4 happy cheeseburgers and there was about a 10 minute wait. I really appreciate the packaging they used for the containers and (paper) bag. Brought it home and threw it into the air fryer for a bit. It was my first time having a smash burger and all I gotta say it's that I was missing out! The patty was thin but very flavorful, it added a nice char along the sides as well. My family mutually agreed that these were good burgers. Service was good, the person at the counter added a happy face on the receipt :) I am so coming back! read more

I've been here several times and this review focuses on an average of all my experiences. Happy Burger is a smash burger place that also serves up hot dogs, fried chicken burgers and vegan burgers. The owner chef has previously worked at Greek restaurants Mamakas among other fine dining establishments. I've had the Pastrami Burger, Oklahoma Onion Burger, Cheeseburger, Onion Rings and Waffle Fries. My absolute favourite is still their cheeseburger. I usually order the onion rings, which are among the best in the city. The service has always been outstanding. The staff always seems to really care about their customers. There are no seats, but if you're lucky, you can eat on one the two outdoor picnic benches, under the tree. It's like a little oasis in the city. Overall I recommend stopping by! You'll be happy you did! read more

The burgers were great but those waffle fry poutines are the best I've had in a long time. The staff was friendly but inside was quite small. I wish there was somewhere to sit and enjoy. I did go when it was cold out so I don't know if they have anything set up in the summer. read more

I got to try the happy cheeseburger (thanks sister!) which consisted of a a smashed patty topped with cheese lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion and happy sauce on a potato bun. The cheeseburger was delicious and I liked how the burger didn't feel or taste overly oily like what you get at some fast food restaurants. The happy sauce tastes like Big Mac sauce. I also appreciate how they use packaging made out of recyclable products instead of styrofoam. read more

Like many smash burger places, their menu isn't large, but they do have a bigger variety than most. I haven't tried the corndogs yet, but I definitely want to. Their burgers are moist, yet have that crisp edge that smash burgers are known for. They have good flavour, and are surprisingly filling. This place makes me happy. ;) read more

Tasty smash burgers and hot dogs on a pillowy potato bun! FOOD // I ordered the Happy Dog, Happy Cheeseburger, Waffle Fries, and Onion Rings. I really enjoyed the Happy Dog and Happy Cheeseburger - it feels like a healthier hot dog and cheeseburger! The Happy Dog reminds me of a Chicago-style hot dog, with the onions and pickles - a really great snack! The Happy Cheeseburger is a smash burger and is juicy! The burger sauce is nice and the toppings complement the patty well. The Waffle Fries were also well done and nicely crisp! The Onion Rings weren't a hit for me...there was a lot of batter, which I wasn't a fan of. SERVICE // The service is good and they are very quick! I've been here twice - one time ordering there and another time ordering online. Positive, quick experiences both times! PRICE // It is around $6 for the Happy Dog and $7.5 for the Happy Cheeseburger. I would say the Happy Dog is a little overpriced and the Happy Cheeseburger is reasonably priced. I would definitely say it's a higher-end fast food place, but the ingredients and quality justifies the higher price point! If you're craving a healthier, less greasy burger or hot dog, I would definitely recommend Happy Burger! PS. The storefront is also really cute and is instagrammable with a happy face painted on the gate! read more

DISAPPOINTED! Went to this restaurant after a late night at the bar. Their sign read that they were open til 1:00am. We arrived at 1215, and one of the workers told us that they were closed as they just had a large order placed, and that they did not have anything left. There was still 45 minutes until closing, I am not sure why they were not able to serve us any food. read more

Went on a whim from all the hype from my friend who swear by this place. It is literally right on college. Great location for a smash joint. I purchased the Oklahoma Burger without the cheese, I found the burger was alright, for me I wasn't sure if it was the toppings that came with burg made it real salty that I had to consume 2 bottles of water. Maybe I'll try something else when I decide to make my way down in the area again. read more

Haven't tried their burgers, but their banana pudding is so freaking good! Best in the city hands down!

Take out cheeseburger was over the top SALTY. In fact have never had a saltier one. So very disappointing. Paid $9:50 for a cheeseburger and didn't expect it to be so full of sodium to be almost inedible. I've honestly enjoyed a McDonald's burger more. Can't imagine the need for all that salt as it kills the flavour and its also unhealthy. read more

The one with the waffle fries! I've been continuing my "burger journey" and found my way to Happy Burger this past week. Specializing in smash burgers (though they've also got a burger with pastrami, a unique offering), I opted for the double cheeseburger with a side of Cajun waffle fries and I was satisfied with both! The two patties were juicy and cooked just as I'd expect for a smash burger, the toppings (including their "happy sauce") complemented the burger very well and the bun was absolutely fresh. I often find the sides can bring the overall meal experience to the next level and in that regard have to highlight the waffle fries, a unique offering as well. These were spiced in a yummy Cajun spice and cooked just right; a little crunchy on the outside. A perfect pairing! read more

Good solid smash burger. Good size, great assortment of toppings. The patty was very flavourful it reminded me of the taste you get from Burger King. My cousin thought it tasted similar to a Big Mac. Price is pretty decent as well. I really enjoyed their Cajun waffle fries, definitely try those out! They also included ketchup in the bag for take out as well. If I'm in the area and craving a burger I'll be sure to hit them up again! read more

3.5/5 Happy Burger recently opened, tucked away in a small street intersecting with College st on Lipincott ave. Obviously to help compare it to other smash burger places, I got their original smash burger ($7.85). Decent price, I guess. When I opened the box it was surprising to see how much bigger the patty was compared to the bun itself. I was surprised to see that the patty could still hold itself together considering how thin smash patties are. First some positives, the bun was a potato bun, we love those. Good selection of toppings, sauce was pretty good not mind blowing though and good crust on one side of the patty. Notice how I say one side. The other side of the patty was a sad brown colour indicating that the griddle wasn't hot enough or not enough contact or that the patty had been boiling its juices rather than getting seared and having that maillard reaction. They did just open so I am willing to try it again and hopefully next time get better results. read more

Smash burger spot in the university area. Counter serve with a small standing table outside for a quick bite. There's solid variety with a couple different cheeseburger options, a pastrami burger and fried chicken burgers too. Patties are balanced without too much seasoning and a little crispy which is nice. Happy could step it up a little on buns and cheese quality. The specialty burgers will run about $12-15 while the original cheeseburger is slightly better value. Respectable quick burger pick up if you're in the area. read more

Another excellent smash burger. As is customary with smash burgers, I wolfed this one down with glee. The crispy, hot waffle fries were a nice touch. However, I'm saving my 5 stars for joints like Burger Drops, Matty's Patties or Harry's, which are just a smidge superior in my opinion...BUT if I'm in the area, I'd definitely get Happy again. read more

Stumbled upon this place on a walk to another smash burger place, and happy we did! Seating wasn't available because of the lockdown but the woman kindly directed us to a nice park around the corner where we could go to eat. Their burgers were AMAZING and their waffle fries were so crispy... Very yummy, I'll go again! read more

It's official, I love smash burgers! I have never met a burger cooked in this way that I haven't enjoyed. But you know who aren't always enjoyable? Toddlers. They eat all of your french fries and pull your dinner onto the floor. Rude. RUDE! Luckily, I had just vacuumed and my husband is a big believer in the 10 second rule. Bless his gross heart, he ate the floor burger. We had two of their cheese burgers, waffle fries (one normal and one cajun) and a side of gravy delivered last night. If I wasn't in my mid-thirties and didn't have to worry about things like health or money, I'd order them again for lunch today. read more

To be honest I expected more for a $30 meal. The poutine was ok, the fries were soggy , the gravy was bland and not piping hot. The onion rings were bomb I got the secret sauce which I wasn't I fan of because I felt it had a curry taste to it. The burger was ok , the bun was extremely greasy. The double was massive , toppings were yummy but it just didn't blow me away read more

4.5/5 We ordered the cheeseburger, waffle fries, the Impossible burger, and onion rings for dinner through Uber Eats. The food arrived fairly quickly and it was still warm which was great. I did heat up the fries and onion rings in my airfryer just to revive them a bit and get a bit of crunch on them. The burgers were delicious! I loved the sauce on the burgers, apparently very similar Big Mac sauce. They also had very simple and minimal burger toppings but it didn't need anyathing else, it was still full of great flavour. I love that restaurants are offering plant based alternatives like Impossible Meat and Beyond Meat frequently now, it makes it really easy to try out all the new spots! The fries and rings were also delicious. I loved how generous the seasoning was on the fries, it made them nice and spicy and flavourful. The onion rings were pretty standard, I later found out Happy Burger makes a chive dip that apparently goes great with the onion rings - will definitely pick that up next time. read more
