These burgers are chucking good! I'll admit that I was rubbed the wrong way a little at first exposure to these guys. When they first opened there was a ton of biased (now filtered) reviews popping up and my first attempt to actually visit them a few months ago was a bomb as they're closed on Sundays and there are no hours posted on the door. I've now posted the hours on Yelp so hopefully no one else will make the same mistake, you're welcome. I had been to Retro Burger once before which was in this location and it was alright. I'm not sure if it's still the same owners but all that's been done since Retro's brief existence is a splash of new paint and a new menu. So here's what you should expect coming here: A big juicy, slightly greasy burger at a premium price. Don't come here looking for a veggie burger. Don't come here looking for a cheap meal. DO HOWEVER come here for a great burger. They grind their meat in-house and you can tell. Being my first visit I went with their signature, The Holy Chuck ($9.99). It's a very simple sandwich consisting of two patties, cheese, bacon, and caramelized onions. Even on the menu they ask you not to add any condiments to it, and why would you? It's perfect just the way it is. My only issue with the burger, and what stopped this from being a 5-star review, is that one of the patties was not cooked. It was medium-rare. While normally I would have taken the burger back I didn't fret since they grind their own chuck. A week later I'm still a healthy young man. I should also note that I actually do enjoy a burger cooked to medium-rare or medium when I have the option to do so. I want to come back and try the "Go Chuck Yourself Challenge". It's a burger of 6 patties, cheese, bacon, and caramelized onions, stacked between 3 grilled cheese sandwiches. You have 6 minutes to eat the burger and drink a shake. Recently I completed Super Monster challenge at Freebirds so I think I'm up for this one. Though the 6 minute time limit does scare me a little. read more

Holy Chuck - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We are on the hunt for the BEST BURGER in Toronto! Stop #1: Holy Chuck Holy Chuck is a small, but lively burger spot. The casual as F decor is close to my heart, highlighted by the stack of buns that they've stored next to the door. (No sarcasm, I actually appreciate the the look.) It's not overly large though, so think twice about bringing more than a handful of friends. On to the food! By popular suggestion I opted for the Mad Cow. To say the least, this sandwich was special. It's a combo of their Animal Feed burger and a Jr. cheeseburger. (Animal Feed: panko crusted portobello mushroom stuffed with feta & cream cheese, deep fried then topped with lettuce, tomato & lemon herb aioli) When you first bite into this sizeable mouthful you'll get hit with such a variety of flavours that you'll have to step back and do a double take. On subsequent bites you'll find that the aioli and oh so creamy cream cheese take a warm hold of the show. Eventually you'll discover the panko crusted portobello mushroom, at which point you realize how the Animal Feed burger holds up without the Jr. cheeseburger. And oh ya, there's a cheeseburger in there. I also snagged the Fudge, Sea Salt & Fresh Red Chili Shake. You're likely thinking "sea salt and red chili!?". Trust me; reserve your judgement until you try it. The standard fudge shake flavour is great, but then after 10 seconds of wondering where the red chili comes in, it hits you with authority. To be honest I was a little offended, but not necessarily in a bad way. Think laid back sensual times with a significant other, then out of no where they slap you across the face. You're annoyed, maybe a little angry for a second, then... you're sort of into it. Not an everyday thing, but a sometimes thing. Summary: Holy Chuck is dynamite! Why not a 5 star? It didn't meet the "mind blown" criteria. If there was a 4.5, it would have it. Go to Chuck!!! read more

Holy Chuck - The Mad Cow: Jr. cheeseburger, panko crusted portobello mushroom stuffed with feta & cream cheese, deep fried then topped with lettuce, etc. - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Underwhelming and overpriced... Today we had a pretty sad first experience with Holy Chuck. Walked in and place an order for pickup: one Grind 'n Shine burger with fries, one Frustrated Cow with onion rings. Upon receiving the take out bag, we thought it was incredibly small for a double order so we asked our server to double check.... he said "I'm sure everything is in here" without even opening the bag. So obviously when we got home, we realized they forgot the fries. The burgers were good, but really not worth the price. I'll even go as far as saying they weren't much better than a Baconator and more than double the price. We made sure to call the manager and tell him about the incident; he promptly blamed it on a new staff member and offered us a free appetizer "the next time we go there", which we declined, as clearly there won't be a next time. We're pretty annoyed and still hungry right now. Holy Chuck sucks. read more

Although small in space, it makes up for it with it's massive menu and large portions. Anyone with an appetite for some serious food should try this. Their dessert menu alone will make you drool, with Nutella Pops, Fried Twinkie's and other treats. I have tried every Hamburger on the menu and I can easily say this is the best Hamburger joint that I have ever been to, and I have been to a lot. 5 burps out of 5 read more

Tried their holy duck burger (beef patty, bacon, seared Quebec foie gras, black truffle and truffle oil). It's simply amazing. In my opinion it's the best burger given the combo is just so to my liking. And everything blended so well together. Note: you cannot order this burger to go and we were glad that the lady who took our order let us know that. We wouldn't want the foie gras to melt. read more

The sign outside beckoned: "Come and see why we were named the best burger in TO!". I said to my brother & girlfriend "We'll see about that". I still have a couple other stops to make on my burger pilgrimage across the GTA, including The Burgers Priest which I've seen thrown in with Holy Chucks as the top burger in the city. The restaurant is nice with full panel glass, a kind-of throw back diner decor and some cool features like an old school sit down Space Invaders machine and their wall of fame. If you can manage to cram down the Go Chuck Yourself and one of their milkshakes in under 6 minutes you'll get on the wall of fame. I'm not interested in uncomfortable forced coronaries so I steered clear of the challenge. I have to say that the atmosphere in Holy Chucks is far superior to both Apache & Woodys which are two of my favourite burger joints. Our order went in. A Holy Chuck for me, their signature burger: double cheeseburger with bacon & caramelized onions. They don't want you putting any extra toppings on this, god forbid you spoil the deliciousness! My girlfriend (who can't eat pork and has a bit of a challenge with this menu as a result) opted for The Greek Bahahastard: two succulent lamb patties topped with caramelized onions and a roasted red pepper garlic feta aioli. My brother went with the Big Chuck which is very familiar for anyone that's ever been to the golden arches. We also all got one poutine to split and I picked up the Nutella & Salted Caramel milkshake. The burgers (all medium rare) were decently sized, not too small or massive. The meat is absolutely spectacular, melting in your mouth with every bite. Out of all three burgers that I tried all of them were excellent but I would say that the Greek was my favourite. The combination of the incredible lamb patties with the aioli is perfection. The poutine was decent but nothing to write home about. The fries are ok, with some above average gravy and good cheese curds but I may be a little overly critical when it comes to my poutine. The milkshake was absolute heaven and I'm not lying when I say that the Nutella milkshake here crush every other milkshake I've ever had by a landslide. It was unbelievably thick and I thought I might slip into a sugar coma with every sip but it was worth it. Holy Chucks definitely has some magic going on but I will have to wait to try out a few other joints before laying down my verdict on the best burgers in the city. Check these guys out if you haven't. I will be back again once my digestive track has significant recovery time. read more

I don't even know where to begin with this place The food is beyond amazing...I can't lie it's a little price heavy considering the competition they have from Heroes and a no-name place that does pizza (no they literally don't have a sign) But when I have a craving do poutine....unless I'm in Montreal no place does it better in my opinion the large container of fries gravy and cheese (REAL CHEESE) with a healthy helping of ketchup is what eating poutine is all about...

Don't get me wrong, Holy Chuck makes a better-than-average burger, for sure. But for my tastes, the Burger's Priest is still king of Toronto's greasy burger. Actually, while perusing the Holy Chuck menu on their website (crazy-long menu, holy!) I noticed tons of similarities to the Priest menu...both offer an array of over-the-top burger selections, including burgers that use grilled cheese sandwiches as buns, burgers with a deep-fried mushroom option, burgers with mustard-grilled patty option, etc etc, and both ladder up to some seriously insane burger insta-heart attacks, such as the "Go Chuck Yourself" (6 grilled cheese patties with triple bacon and caramelized onions stacked between 3 grilled cheese sandwiches. Really?) I ordered the signature Holy Chuck burger (double cheeseburger with bacon and caramelized onions) and enjoyed it....but not quite as much as I enjoy a normal cheeseburger with the works from Burger's Priest. That's just me. Having said that, I WILL return to Holy Chuck...why? The MILKSHAKES! Holy awesome!! I had the 'nutella and salted caramel' shake and it was ridiculously delicious. Next time I will come for the shake and stay for the burger. Huzzah read more

Tried The Holy Duck burger.. 4/5 I personally love eating foie gras. To have the foie gras combined with white truffles & freshly grounded patty in a bun was just amazing. It got a little messy when I ate this because of how much white truffle oil they put in the bun. But with all the ingredients combined together, the burger was delicious and I would definitely recommend this to my friends. We also ordered the The Village Cow burger. We ate this after the Holy Duck burger so we definitely tasted the difference between the two - Holy Duck was better haha. The smell of the seared & melted Kefalotiri cheese was a bit too strong for my liking. Overall, this burger deserves a 3/5. The poutine's portion was huge - the melted cheese with gravy was very tasty. We couldn't finish it all! read more

Burger quality was good but didn't have much taste. Bun is too soft. Fries were good. Bigger issue was the price and how many items they didn't have on the menu. Tried ordering the funnel cake and they didn't have it. Disappointing. Price was expensive for what it was--burgers and fries. read more

Forgot an entire burger from an Uber eats order!!!!Other than that their food is decent. Good portions.

After visiting their temporary location at Front Street Foods, I've finally visited the restaurant. They have tons of burger and fries selections on the wall and it was difficult for me to choose one. The gourmet burgers are all over $9.99. I decided to order the Grind N' Shine and decided to go for the "combo" which I chose onion rings and a fountain pop. Basically a combo consists of your choices which are 1. the burger, 2. a side and 3. a drink at regular price but you get around $0.85 off if you order the additional two (side and drink) which wasn't much of savings. My total came up to be around $20. After ordering and choosing my drink, my order was ready. The burger was the main highlight of my meal but I was not used to having an egg in my burger. It was an ok size for me. The onion rings were a huge letdown. Nothing special about them at all. Overall, having a combo that is around $20 is pretty expensive for me. It was worth a try coming here but I'm not too sure if I will come back. read more

Holy Chuck - The grind n' shine burger with onion rings - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I am from Maryland, and came here during my family vacation since my cousin raved about how the meat from Holy Chuck was round fresh before every burger was made. We had taken them to Five Guys, so they wanted to show us the burgers that Toronto had to offer. The restaurant is a little small, which was bad since we had a group of 9 people going into the restaurant. So, we had to save about 4 table for ourselves. I ended up getting the Cowlarie burger, which was AMAZING. the grilled cheese was melty and delicious. I loved the sandwiches and the burger was tasty as well. Literally the best burger mostly because of how deliciously cheesy and gooey the grilled cheeses were. I also had the Farmer's Threesome. I thought it was okay, I honestly didn't think my lamb patty was fully cooked, and I also found a piece of cartilage in my burger. My cousin had the Dirty Drunken Burger, but his burger was almost completely raw. He ate about three bites until he asked us and we confirmed it was raw. I went to ask them to cook the burger longer, since it was a little raw for us liking. The staff looked at the burger and talked about it with each other. They ended making him a whole new burger. My other cousin got the holy chuck burger and half way through eating she bit onto a small bone in her hamburger patty. read more

Holy Chuck has some really good burgers and is definitely one of the better burger joints in Toronto. The beef patty is very flavorful and is one of the better tasting patties that I've ever eaten. It also doesn't hurt that the patties are pretty thick as well so a normal guy will definitely get full off of one. There is a wide selection of milk shakes to choose from to down your burger. The milk shakes varieties are very unique. They have a Key Lime Pie milkshake among others. If you're courageous like I was, you can even try their Go Chuck Yourself Challenge. You have to finish a Go Chuck Yourself Burger and any specialty milkshake. You have 6 minutes to finish everything. If you succeed, you get a picture on their wall of fame. If you don't, then onto the wall of shame you go. This burger consists of a grilled cheese sandwich on the bottom. 3 cheese burger patties piled on top with your regular tomato, lettuce, onions, bacon. Another grilled cheese sandwich on top of that. 3 more patties followed by one more grilled cheese sandwich. Let's just say, this is not an easy feat. I needed about 30 more seconds to actually finish the challenge. Besides all the greatness of the beef patties, caramelized onions, bacon. The thing that I was a bit disappointed with was the bun. If they could get a better bun, the burger would spring near the top of my personal leaderboard. Maybe even get within range of Minetta's Tavern in NYC. Also, the fries were a bit disappointing and I wasn't a big fan of the poutine. I think South St. Burger has better fries and poutine but it's hard to compete with that place because they have New York Fries working with them which take fries to another level on its own. Overall, Holy Chuck is one of the better burger joints in Toronto. Much better than Five Guys. read more

Holy Chuck - the Go Chuck Yourself Challenge - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Holy Chucks is my fave burger place out of all of the gourmet burger joints in Toronto. We usually frequent the Woodbridge location, but we were in the 416 area so we headed to the Yonge and St Clair location. This location is smaller but on the ttc subway line. Be aware there is no parking on Yonge by this area. There is Green P street parking on St. Clair. The washrooms (well the women's one) were clean. We combo our orders but the cashier told us they were out of fountain pop. They must be busy. Their turnover is about 20-30 minutes on average. I got my burger the frustrated cow ($11.99) and was surprised that I got a fully loaded burger with a lot of topping (portabello mushrooms, blue cheese and onions). I usually get 1/4 of that at the Woodbridge location. My boyfriend got the Cowlowerie, (a slutty burger that has grilled cheese as the 'bun' $14.99) and said it was best one he ever had (as he usually frequents the Woodbridge location as well). All in all Holy Chucks is on the expensive side (to your wallet and your waistline) but has the best menu of burger and topping combos because of the variety. Though this location is slightly out of the way we would come here again because the quality is great. Though we love their burgers we only go every few months because of the carb coma that ensues shortly after. The guilt you feel after is worth this burger menu has been throughly thought through which is why we keep coming back. read more

Food: 3/5 Atmosphere: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Value: 3/5 Mouth feel: 2.5/5 Don't go out of your way to eat here, but if you're in the area it's a solid place to get a mouthful of warm, moist, salty meat. Holy Chuck is part of an emerging trend of premium burger joints and competes against the likes of The Burgers Priest, P&L Burgers, The Burger Shack, and many others. I think they land somewhere in the middle of the pack. My experience was pretty average, though not bad by any standard. I ordered The Holy Chuck, their signature double cheeseburger with bacon and caramelized onions. I made the rookie mistake of asking for my burger medium rare (Burgers are usually at their best a little firmer at medium well), so it was incredibly soft throughout. I like a little crunch factor, which I expected the bacon to provide. I couldn't distinguish between the burger, the bacon, the bun, and the cheese. Dare I say the burger was almost too juicy? If I were determined enough I probably could have sucked this burger through a straw. They are known for their shakes more than their Burgers apparently, but I didn't try one because it would have been too expensive. The Burger and a bottle of water alone cost me $14. For a burger as fresh as this, the price makes sense but it's a bit too steep to consider adding on fries and other extras. I also think they'd benefit from a smaller menu. Overall, not the worst mouthful of meat I've ever tasted but I wouldn't consider it a must-try. I much prefer the Priest's meat. read more

Went in for the first time this evening to grab a burger. I decided to go for the Big Bad Wolf along with a side of rings. Seems that we got in between waves of custies, so the wait wasn't too long at all. People seemed to pour in as we were finishing up and were seat hunting. The burger was hot, super juice and pretty flavourful. Best when I got a bite of all the ingredients at once. The rings didn't amaze, but the herbs were a nice touch and the batter wasn't overdone. I also tried some of my friend's Big Chuck Fries. Really wasn't a fan of this type of fries. Serving size was huge. Probably more fries than one person should eat. I'd like to try another burger on the menu, but not too interested in the sides. I'd have the rings again if I was craving. read more

I stopped by today for a quick lunch to see what all the fuss was about. The restaurant was quite busy, even though they had just opened. Surveying the menu, I found it a bit overwhelming as it takes up an entire wall! After some deliberation, I eventually decided on a cheeseburger and fries. Although I really wanted a milkshake, it would have made for a very expensive (and calorie-laden) lunch so I left well enough alone and got a water. The burger and fries arrived within five minutes and both were hot and fresh. I loved the burger from the first bite and couldn't get enough. My only criticism is the amount of juices that come out of the patties as you're eating - I had to put a napkin underneath to avoid ruining my fries. Speaking of the fries, they were also pretty good, although I wasn't a fan of the rosemary they sprinkle on top - it seemed like an unnecessary addition and made them too sweet. Overall, a tasty and satisfying lunch, even if the $14 price tag is a little on the expensive side. read more

Holy Chuck - Cheeseburger and fries. - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I really wanted to get the Foie Gras burger but decided against it since I've tried it before and it would run me $29.99 plus tax. Settled for a Jr. Cheeseburger with the works and the mister got the Cowlorie. Despite getting the Jr. Cheeseburger for $5.99, it still looked like a full size burger. The beef patty had lots of meat flavours and all the toppings made the burger that much better. I think the burger would taste even better if the buns were warmed. The Cowlorie consist of two beef patties between two grilled cheese. It was so awesome that I almost locked my jaw trying to bite into that thing. First few bites were good but gets heavy afterwards. The cheese in the two grilled cheese wasn't melted enough ): Still a solid place for burgers. We spend $18 here and walked out with a full tum tum read more

Asked the hubby, "Is Holy Chuck one word or two?" My reply was "It's two words, separated by a cow." In keeping with the honesty spirit of Yelp, it is in my opinion that this place is much more than just one cow apart from that other holy burgers place. So much potential with the threateningly gut-splitting menu, somehow lost amongst a rather soggy patty without enough "wok hei" (the flavor imparted by the 'thermal radiation', technically of a wok, but I'm using the term here to apply to the grill) to get that awesomely satisfying toothsome feel. Such feels, such summertime sadness. Milkshakes are pretty amazing though, the sole reason of which has bumped up my review an additional star. An extensive number of creative options, the salty-sweet combos work well - like dipping fries into your ice-cream - ranging from the tamer, wild flower honey and peanut butter with sea salt to the more adventurous bacon, fudge & sea salt (or for foie gras & truffle oil milkshake for the adventurous and deeper-pocketed). Not cheap at about $5.99 for most of the milkshakes, but reasonable for what you get. read more

Not personally a burgers fan, so take it for what it's worth. For this review I'm going to comment on their vegan burger. The place is okay, very typical fast food joint. Order your food, sit down, they call your name, get your food, eat your food, throw out your own stuff. I kind of don't like burgers, especially ground beef burgers. So, I thought that I would try their vegan burger, "the holy vegan". I think it has quinoa and corn and some other veggies and supposedly made with olive oil. Honestly, from what I see, the burgers are quite small, when you account for the price. My burger was fine, it did have a lot of corn in it, like A LOT! And was drenched in olive oil, really oily, almost soaked through the bun. Overall, I thought the taste was decent, well, for a vegetarian (corn) burger. However, I don't think I will try again, considering the price, doesn't even come with fries. read more

As a Canada visitor, I wanted to eat a good old fashioned burger. So I went to Holy Chuck. I had the Holy Chuck himself and onionsrings as side dish. The Holy Chuck is a double cheeseburger with bacon and caramelized onions, and it was excellent. The ratio of beef/cheese/bacon was perfect and also the bread did. The onionrings completed my burger adventure as they were how onionrings should be. The only critic point I can give is that the Holy Chuck is a little bit too small, so I had a short but good Burger adventure. For all the people who are searching for an old fashioned greasy bacon cheese burger, which for me is a real burger, I can definately suggest the holy chuck burger. read more

The good thing about this place was that there is a parking lot across the street. There's seats! and there usually isn't a long line up. The wait time to get the food is fair enough. The burger itself is kind of dry and not that tasty, but it was huge, at least the one I got. had to eat it with a fork and knife in the beginning lol (the mad cow + a fried egg). The feed was nothing compared to the option at burger's priest) The burger wasn't the best, but the fries were really good, I like all the fries selections. I would come again if I was in the area, but not specifically to satisfy my cravings, I'd go somewhere else. read more

Burgers and ice-cream cake are my go-to birthday meal and last night the fam and I were in a celebratory mood! I've been here before and combined with last night's meal here's what I've tried: - The Holy Chuck: Probably the best burger I've tried. I always feel like I could have 2 of these and then am thankful when I don't, after the post-burger/fries/drink/grease food coma goes into effect. Probably the best value burger here as it gets you bacon and onions. - The Big Yianni: the Holy Chuck with added onion rings - ie best value burger + onion rings = very good burger. But I'm more of a onion rings on the side kind of guy so... - The Raging Bull: Good level (low-medium) of heat for me but probably not as hot as needed for someone who is ordering a spicy burger. I guess you could add more if you wanted but I'm not sure if it was worth the extra couple of bucks for hot peppers and chipotle sauce. Still a very good menu option! - Cheeseburger: excellent if you want a pure burger. Double patty is definitely a plus! - Uncle Georgie Porgy: I was really excited to try this burger - lamb, beef, and chicken all in one, how could you go wrong? Hmm...I gotta say I wasn't as happy as I wanted to be. It definitely was more than I needed volume-wise but I wanted to taste the flavour of each meat. However the whole burger was overwhelmed by either the sauce or the seasoning. I'm willing to try it again just because I think this burger could be really good but maybe I'll ask to ease up on the sauce or seasoning. - Added a Nutella/salted caramel milkshake based on Yelp reviews. It came as advertised: thick and creamy, and obviously made from almost all ice cream. The salted caramel came in little surprise chunks at the bottom. Honestly, after washing down the burger and fries with this shake, I fully expected to be waking up inside a truck with flashing lights! TIPs!!!: - Omit the added salt. The ground beef is seasoned enough and adding extra salt takes away from the burger. Ordering via the app has this as an option but I think if you ordered at the counter you need to make a specific request. - I love that they give you a doneness option. I'm med-rare to med and they didn't disappoint as our group requested a variety of donenesses (sp?) and they met all our expectations! I think med-rare/med makes for a juicier burger so that's my recommendation. Aside from the Georgie Porgy, Holy Chuck did not disappoint. The meat is well seasoned and I can see why they are rated as one of the top burger joints in Toronto. It's pricey but I guess that's what we are paying these days for gourmet burgers. As a smash burger joint, I'm still coming to grasp with the allure of crispy edges on a 'smashed' patty as I'm still focused on the taste - will try to make special note next time. I'm also still working up the guts to pay $30+ for the The Holy Duck that gives you foie gras - one day maybe. Sorry no pictures as our stomachs beat down social media priorities :) read more

Got two different burgers with my girlfriend as well as poutine and three desserts. I honestly can not remember which burgers we got but one had two grilled cheese sandwiches as the bun and the other had the deep fried mushroom with cheese inside and a burger. I personally found their menu huge and it seriously difficult for me to figure out what I wanted. They had the most unique types of milkshakes which I wish I could of indulged in but I was seriously stuffed with all the eating. The desserts were seriously delicious - I would go back there just for the desserts! We has the Nutella lollipops, holy funnel cake and the deep fried Twinkie. HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG WITH A DEEP FRIED TWINKIE?! Their holy funnel cake has this delish pineapple sauce/jam on it which I should of asked for by the bucket! read more

This was a good burger spot and I really enjoyed the experience here. The food was very good - the meat of the burger was good quality and I really enjoyed the poutine and shake (Nutella and Peanut Butter) that I ordered with my meal. I feel like the burger could have been so much better with a different, higher quality bun...the bun I had was extremely ordinary and seemed like the kind of thing you'd get at a grocery store when you grill burgers at home. Changing the bun would really make the burgers much better. Definitely get the double since it really makes for a very good burger experience. read more

Had to try this place after hearing great things about it and being burger lovers that we are. Mad Cow Burger: I've had a similar burger from The Priest Burger - the deep fried cheese-stuffed portobello is what drew me in. I have to say though the burger was really yummy and flavourful, the feta & cream cheese was a bit too heavy. I couldn't finish this one! Clara got their signature burger, the Holy Chuck: DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER WITH BACON & CARAMELIZED ONIONS. Without so many toppings to distract from the actual burger, you're able to really enjoy their high quality beef patties. One of the best burgers we've had! Our friend who came with us to the restaurant is a bacon fan. It's no surprise that he got the You Fat Pig: TWO 100% ALL BACON PATTIES, TRIPLE CHEESE, CRISPY BACON & TOPPED WITH HOMEMADE CREAMY BACON DRESSING. The bacon patties were tender but the burger as a whole was too heavy to eat. We shared the Raging Bull Fries. It comes with DOUBLE BACON, DOUBLE CHEESE & FRESH SAUTÉED HOT BANANA PEPPERS, SMOTHERED IN RAGING BULL GRAVY. This was very spicy and our tongues were on fire! The fries were of good texture though. We're going to have to come back to try all the other burgers and fries that we didn't get to try this time around. read more

This reflects my most recent visit. I'm a regular here for a few years and I never reviewed it, I went with my signature order, cowalire and milkshake(usually nutella) this time it was nutulla, peanut butter. For a burger place that has become my go to reliable place it finally disappointed me, the cheese wasnt melted, it had onions. Maybe its a new cook or an off day, if it wasn't for my past experience this place might have gotten an 2.star, the extra star is due to my love of the place On bright side the milk shake didn't disappoint so maybe that a sign I shouldn't dismiss this place just yet Even If quality of burgers fall and can come back for the shakes Edit July 19 2016 Burger seem lacking, not cook enough and too salted, the cheese wasn't even melt on my cowlarie , probably the first time I really wasn't satisfied thou the time when the original review was posted wasn't good either.

Holy Chuck is an interesting burger operation on Yonge St. just south of St. Clair. There's lots of room for solo diners and groups to chow down on their choice of burger, fries, milkshakes, and other desserts. The Big Chuck is their take on a Big Mac and it's a decent attempt. I'm curious to try other some of their other offerings. It's a bit pricier here than at other burger joints in the city, but they make some pretty good milkshakes and I'll definitely be back for another one soon. The first burger I tried was a bit messy, with the patties and toppings starting to fall apart as I ate it. It was just a tad undercooked, but still tasted fairly good. They're just a shade under 4 stars, but the service is good and they seem to make the food pretty fast. Hungry folks can get their fill here, in any case. It's a clean shop with a flat screen TV in case you plan on hanging out for a bit. read more

This place has the best fast food burger in Toronto in my humble opinion. The standard holy chuck burger is my go to and I usually get a side of fries as they are unreal. I'll go big with a poutine if I'm really feeling like a greasy spoon experience. The burger meet is really what makes the burger - fresh ground chuck beef that's dripping in juices (bring a bib). I haven't had the milk shakes but I hear they are quite good as well. The though of milk with a greasy burger and fries is just not my thing. I find the consistency and quality control to be better at this location than the one south at Wellesley and Yonge. read more

First time Chucker here (grabbed the original burger for lunch). As a very picky burger eater, I must say I'm very impressed. Patty was very juicy and full of body. I followed their suggestion of not having any toppings added to the burger. I had tasty beef juices running down my fingers as I eagerly chewed away. The burger was gone within 5 minutes. Now, that's definitely a sign of good burger. I was a little disappointed that the burger was smaller than I imagined. I wasn't hungry before I indulged the little yummy goodie and I became hungry after having finished the burger. I guess the burger opened up my appetite! I think this will become my weekly sin. Good thing Goodlife is just downstairs... read more

Made a special trip since I've heard such good things and I was really disappointed. Tried the mad cow (I think it was called), the one with the cheeseburger and their "veggie burger" (aka portobello mushrooms stuffed with cheese and deep fried) and my husband had the holy chuck burger. We also shared a poutine. The burger itself is under seasoned and not super flavourful (needs more salt and pepper). Their veggie "burger" (the mushrooms) was really disappointing (the burgers priest one is much better). You can barely taste the mushrooms and the cheese they use (feta and cream cheese), has no real taste or cheesiness. Honestly, I could taste the breading more than anything. The buns didn't seem fresh and honestly tasted and looked like week old wonder bread buns you may get at the grocery store. The holy chuck burger - same under seasoned party and bun. The best part was the carmelized onions... which isn't saying much. The poutine was alright. I found the gravy a little too salty. Tried the Reece's and banana shake, which was tasty and the highlight of the meal. The burgers were really disappointing - def prefer burgers priest or even south st to be honest Their fries are better than burgers priest though but that's not a good enough reason to come back. Id like to tell myself it was awesome before and has just gone down in quality... I doubt I'll come back. read more

Holy Chuck - Poutine and mad cow - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I was looking to try a new burger place and my friend recommended Holy Chuck. I ordered the Holy Chuck burger (with lettuce) and Creamy Feta fries. The fries were hands down, too good! But the burger was just ok. It was really juicy, but it had no flavour or even salt for that matter, and the bacon was just namesake (1 tiny piece). It wasn't bad but it was just kinda OK. Still I'd like to try some of the other burgers to see if they're any better, although I'm not too hopeful about it. But i do recommend the fries. read more

I was hesitant about the mixed reviews about this place, but gave it a try anyway with my boyfriend yesterday. We were both VERY impressed with the quality of food - burger patties were cooked PERFECTLY, and the buns were soft and fresh. Many people complain that the burgers are dripping with grease, but I think it's mostly excess water from the freshly washed veg toppings. The slight drippings from when I picked up my burger seemed more watery than grease. Also, judging by older menu photos, they've changed-up the cut of their fries, as the shoestring french fries seasoned with thyme were DIVINE: fresh, crispy and not over salted. Reminded me of the Jaime Kennedy fries I recently tried at the Luminato food festival. I was tempted to try the poutine, but drowning these perfect frites in gravy and cheese would seem tragic! Also, the portion was MASSIVE - you'll likely only need one order if you're willing to share. I ordered the Jr. Cheeseburger, as it was the only burger with one patty. Usually most places skimp on "kid" size burgers, but I was REALLY impressed by the portion - while stacked full of toppings, it almost appeared to be the same size as my boyfriend's Holy Chuck (double cheeseburger.) The atmosphere itself was comfortable: air conditioned and well ventilated, and plenty of table space. Staff were friendly and efficient. Granted, we visited when it wasn't very busy (5pm) so I'm sure it's a bit more chaotic during the lunch rush. One minor complaint: the place doesn't offer a huge assortment of extra toppings (8 total, including ketchup and mustard.) Even Harvey's or Subway offers basics like bbq sauce or relish. But again, it's not a big deal. And yes, the place is a bit pricier (our bill came out to about $23) compared to other burger joints in the area, but the quality of food is miles above those other places. read more

Holy Chuck - GET INTO MAH BELLY! (Holy Chuck burger in background, Jr Cheese in foreground) - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Fatty juicy burgers. Not an everyday meal as it can be greasy. The big bad wolf is an amusing name to a burger. "I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll.." *slam* crush the deep fried onion house down. Milkshakes are good here. No idea how people can finish their challenge. read more

They have alot of choices for a burger place. Some very interesting ones that you don't see else where. So I decided to get the signature Holy Chuck - two patties with bacon and caramelized onion with a side of fries. The quality of the beef Patty's was really good but was kinda dry. The bun was nice and soft. The caramelized onion which was a bit sweet and bacon was a good addition. read more

One of my favorite burger joint in town! Meat so fresh you can taste it, they ground the meat fresh in-house on the hour. Their signature burger, Holy Chuck burger is a bacon double cheeseburger topped with caramelized onions. Said no toppings please, but I like my veggie and took my chance, the lettuce, onion, and tomato made it even better! You can taste the fresh herbs on the fries too! read more
