Cheeseburger and poutine. Yum.
James P.

My manager recommended this place to me when I told her I was heading out to Whitby for the weekend. I'm glad she did. Turns out, North End Burgers is about a fifteen minute walk from my girlfriend's place, so we headed over to this place. It's in a small trip plaza, just north of what would be considered Whitby's "downtown". The prices are very good. Your average hamburger is $3.50, cheeseburger is a bit more, banquet burger a bit more than that, etc. I had a cheeseburger with a poutine; my girlfriend had a hamburger with fries. Sitting in the back room, the walls are adorned with a random assortment of NHL memorabilia. Toronto Maple Leafs, OHL teams, autographed pictures, classic pictures, former athletes such as Doug Gilmour, Wendel Clark. As a big hockey fan, it was fun to see all these old pictures, newspaper clippings, posters. The food was ready in just a few minutes, when the cook yelled out our order. I'll agree with one of the other reviews here; the chef, who I can only assume is Johnny based on his demeanour and the description afforded in the other review, is not very sociable. He was to the point, blunt, and very monotone. However, I'm okay with that. Would you rather have a cook who talks to you, is nice, friendly, and cooks a meh burger? Or would you rather have someone who is off-putting and considered rude, but makes one hell of a burger? I'll go with the latter. The food was outstanding. The fries were fresh, the gravy was very smooth and very good, and the burger was cooked perfectly with a very soft bun. I will definitely be going back to this place, any time I'm in Whitby and need to kill time before meeting up with my girlfriend. It's that good. *That* good.

I heard a lot about this place-but the food did not live up to the expectations. Would never go back.

Both were good; But, there's something to be said for fresh food right from the restaurant. Yesterday I stopped into the Burger Factory, Whitby location. The ambiance of this restaurant is great.

We had two pieces of each appetizer to try and I must say I LOVED the jalapeno poppers. They paired very well with the Factory sauce. I was pretty stuffed but I finished off my meal with a chocolate vanilla twist cone topped with caramel drizzle. Perfection. I had an absolute stellar experience at Burger Factory Whitby. I will 100% be returning to this location. Need to try the funnel cake next

I particularly liked the Jucy Lucy, a burger stuffed with cheese. Sides including a rich gravy poutine or tornado fries are a delicious accompaniment. Just ignore the calories!

A BBQ treasure nestled between the edges of Ajax and Whitby offers must have succulent eats…read more I've been here several times by now and tried pretty much everything on the menu and nothing is disappointing, everything is delicious. On the most recent trip I really enjoyed the country fried steak. While it is heavy, it is perfectly fried and topped with a savoury and creamy white gravy. The fries on the side were cooked absolutely perfectly. The coleslaw was tangy and balanced. The Mac n Cheese was so creamy, with a hint of spice and topped with breadcrumbs to create a mix of flavours. This is already on top of the many other tasty dishes such as the pork shoulder and smoked chicken wings which I highly recommend. Butchie's is a BBQ staple for Durham region. I've been here several times and I'll be back many times over, especially during the summer for their beautiful backyard style patio!

I don't know why I was expecting more of bbq type food, but you're in for things like chicken…read morewings, hush puppies, pulled pork, country fried steak, and sandwiches. No ribs or brisket, so I'm not sure if they really ever have that sort of bbq food available. The hush puppies were nice. I liked the crunchy/ crispy exterior and the soft, cake like interior. It was a savoury item I've never had before and definitely can understand why it's popular. I also like the sauces they served with these. Smoked chicken wings were amazing. Chicken had a nice salty, herby rub it was tossed in. It was like all dressed or bbq chip seasoning on top of the chicken which was a bit addicting. Our chicken was a bit over cooked and slightly dry, but it was still great. My partner had the country fried steak. I was going to warn him it probably wasn't his cup of tea but he never tried so there you have it. It was a fried thin steak with some gravy sauce over top. I don't know if that's how it's suppose to taste to be honest so I don't want to really judge it. I personally wouldn't order it. Nevermind if it's how it should taste, I just didn't love the soggy feel to it. The steak was super dry and over cooked. I loved the drink options. They carry a sparking tea made locally and I know they've tried to partner with local artisan drinks. They make milkshake the real way with real kawartha dairy ice cream, which is amazing. I love that they have real Kawartha Dairy ice cream too. The service is 10/10. People are incredibly friendly! The food took a while to come out the kitchen so definitely not an option for rushed dinners, but atleast it's fresh. Personally, I want to support them, but I think it's not my kind of food. I hope they continue to be in business though and spread their good spirits and fun. I'll definitely swing by for ice cream once in a while.

But..... my gosh. The dishes looked nice. My niece said her food was okay. Her cousin said his food was overcooked. My dish was trash, my gosh, I couldn't stomach the taste. The salmon was tough, tasted bad, rank. The seasoning was weird and didn't pair well. It had some kinda spice that tasted odd. I don't even know what to say about it. But later that night I was throwing up well into the morning. I only eat possibly 3-4 small bites, most of the dish was left back. I still tipped and didn't complain as I just wanted the kids to have a nice night without arguing with whoever. As I write this I am reminded of the disgusting taste. NEVER again for that dish! Now that I think about it I honestly shouldn't have tipped. Paying for that dish was already above and beyond!
