Basic burger with bacon and caramelized onions. Also fries JABS
JP M.

The food is excellent. There's no denying that this place deserves its reputation. The caramelized onions and chop sauce and make all the difference, but it's the Berger that really speaks out. The service is very friendly and courteous. It was really nice to see how everybody in the kitchen gets involved with the patrons.

Char Siu rib sandwich
Jonathan W.

Note that the sign says "J.A.B.S." and I believe this is how it's most commonly known as. It's a bit of an ironic name as they really aren't 'just' another burger spot. Rather, they're exceptional and stand out head and shoulders above almost all competetion. Some more irony in that this review isn't based off of a burger per se, but instead I had a limited edition pork 'char siu' sandwich, along with the fact that I tried my friends fried chicken sandwhich. The char siu sandwhich was basically an elevated take on the McRib and it delivered all that an more. The rib meat was such good quality, slow-cooked and seasoned perfectly. Just a shame that it's temporary, though it might return. Though I just had a (large) bite of the fried buffalo chicken sandwhich, again, it's better than almost anything that comes to mind.

It is 100% my mistake to order a cheese burger when I like to have tomato, onion & lettuce on my burger. I just looked at the menu board behind the casher and did not bother to look at the actual menu flyer with what exact contents in their burger. Therefore I was not able to have fair experience with JABS with toppings I liked. Cheese burger comes with extra cheese sauce, onion jam, housemade pickles, jabs sauce served on super pillowy buns. Because cheese burger does not have anything crunchy texture to it( besides pickles) and onion jam, melted cheese, Jabs sauce and even beef patties... whole burger was very very soft. For me I like my burger to have different textures all together, it was not much fun to chew on super soft burger. I should have ordered "Classic burger."

Oklahoma weekly special
Jenny X.

I was keen to try this burger spot after seeing the raving reviews and I was not disappointed. They have weekly specials, which I opted for. A double Oklahoma, with juicy and crispy beef Pattie's, grilled onions, pickles, and their jabs sauce. It was honestly one of the best burgers I've had in Toronto. It's a sloppy mess but the potato bun does a great of soaking up some of those juices from the patty. I had some of my friend's fries, but really the burger is the star of the show. They also have salads on the menu, but I couldn't resist the burger, the moment I stepped into the store. Can't wait to come back and try their chicken sandwich!

Burger drippings

Ok burger lovers, this is the second burger review on my quest to find the best in Toronto. Saturday was raining and I found myself home bored so why not go get a burger? Exactly, so naturally I picked the closest to my place which happens to be JABS. Thankfully the rained stopped before I arrived so parking 2 blocks away wasn't an issue. This place has non stop traffic rolling through, and surprisingly an equal amount of people dined in VS take away. A stark contrast to Rosie's last weekend. I ordered a double classic with JABs fries even though the girl said it would be filling. I also ordered a black cranberry drink and then sat down to wait for my order. It wasn't u til I sat down that I saw they had banana pudding. It was on a different menu board behind where you stand to order, kinda odd but ok, I ordered some to go on my way out. The burger and fries came fast, and looked awesome. Being a smash burger there was a flat top taste to the meat which was also tasted with the fries. Not my favourite taste with burgers but not unbearable. The burger held together at first but close to the end the lettuce got in the way and pushed the patty out of the bun. You can see by the pictures that the patty was juicy as there was thankfully something to catch the droppings, I wouldn't recommend eating in the car or on the go. The fries were enjoyable, nice thin cut, crispy but I wished I didn't order them because they weee very filling. I didn't get to the banana pudding until later in the evening, it was sweet and tasty but to be honest no where near Rosie's last week. Will I return? Only time will tell. Im giving it a 3 but I would definitely recommend you try this place, there's a reason it's so popular, it's just not my type of burger.

I enjoyed the Black Truffle Shack Stack ($16.99) that I ordered. I love the taste of truffle and…read morethe melted cheese in the burger. The I Heart Butter Tart Concrete ($6.49) that I ordered was a little too much for myself. I did decide to go through and finish the ice cream / sundae just so I don't have anything to go. The interior of the place was properly though out and well designed. Self order stations are available to order from and the ordering interface is one of the better systems I have seen. When I dined in early afternoon on a weekday it was a rather slow day. There were a couple of Shake Shack employees constantly roaming about the premises ready to attend to any customer request. 1 such employee was thoughtful enough to serve me and a group of other customers some water. I have mixed feelings about the bathroom setup. Yes, it is clean and there were a few toilet rooms available, but it requires a code to be entered prior to using. The door screen shows as vacant but an employee still needs to give out the 4 digit code needed to access the toilets. I also found some issues with the water faucet sensors. It is inconsistently picking up my gestures resulting in an unreliable and unsteady flow of running water when I was washing my hands.

Second time to eat here. Second experience was for the new black truffle launch. Space is big and…read moreclean. Service is fairly quick. For the black truffle night, they had servers serving us which was a nice and new experience. Food was great!

Wanted to do a pick up order, tried to use their site but for some reasons it would not let place…read morean order, but DoorDash did. There is no seating at this location, so if you are planning on ordering and then waiting, keep in mind fbaf Rudy is pretty slow at making their burgers and you might have to wait in rough weather. Otherwise totally worth it, everything was great about my burger. The meat was crunchy, sauce and other ingredients were delicious and I love the buns they are using. Highly recommended

I was excited to come eat here because I was told it was amazing and they couldn't stop raving…read moreabout it. It was disappointing in almost all respects. There is no seating at this location, you can't even go inside. You order from a window and wait on the side of the street until it's ready. So there's little overhead when it comes to seating, cleaning up after customers, etc. That is fine and understandable yet they're asking for tips to take your order while you stand outside and wait. The order in question: two burgers, two drinks and fries. I was given 1 napkin for all of that. Just one napkin. The burgers were small, just a bit bigger than a slider but thin and they were overcooked and burnt all around the edges. The fries were fine, golden and crispy but served in a small bag for $5. If Rudy is trying to save money in this economy, that's fine, but I don't feel the need to give them mine.
