    Bacon smash with Matt's poutine
    Mike T.

    You enter at street level then it's up a short flight of stairs to order. After you order you grab a table and they bring the food out to you. I was famished so I ordered the triple smash with a grilled hot dog on the side. 6 nuggets and habanero sauce on the side. The bun was soft, the smash patties were crispy and seasoned well. The habanero sauce had a nice spicy kick. Unfortunately the nuggets were trash. White spongy meat and not a spec of seasoning. I ordered a hotdog on the side. Good flavor but a weird texture. My son had the bacon smash and poutine but we got the Matt's poutine. He was happy with both. Overall a solid meal and I would return again but hard pass on the nugs.

    Yummy smash burgers located in parkdale! We came on a weekday night and it was pretty empty, plenty of seats. The burgers were huge with onion rings inside. It was juicy and delicious, exactly what you want in a burger. The fries were also done so well, I would go back just for those!! Everything was so tasty but the Oreo milkshake was the star of the meal. Thick and not too sweet , just the right amount of cookie bits!

    Inside stairs to get to the takeout counter

    Decent Smash Burgers, greasy but good! We got takeout and added a slice of marble cheese from our fridge. If you're able to pick up in person, be on the lookout for their sign outside $11.90 for burger, fries and drink is a better deal than picking up through Ritual. The shop is currently set up as a takeout operation despite having space for indoor seating. Prepare to go up a flight of steps to grab your takeout from the counter. Not very easy to stop your car in front of the shop, but you should be able to find some temp parking behind in an alley. We also tried a box of their poutine and something was off. The poutine fries were packed too tightly and were just soggy and greasy. I usually don't mind soggy poutines but something is off about the taste. So I wouldn't recommend that for takeout. Sometimes we still could feel hungry after a Smash burger but we both were left full after 2 smash burgers and most of the poutine still leftover.

    Located in the Queen West area of downtown Toronto, Matt's Burger Lab offers giant Halal burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, loaded poutines and more. We decided to get: Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich DNA Burger Radiation Burger Karma Chicken Burger All the burgers are beastly, even the Chicken Burgers. And for sides there are fries, sweet potato fries and onion rings. When I say the burgers are beastly, its almost impossible to fit all the layers in your mouth at once. This can be a great thing for take-aways, but if you want to take on everything in one sitting be prepared to eat alot!

    Turkish owned. 100% halal. I had the bacon onion rings smash which I really enjoyed. The only thing is the beef bacon was a little bit tough by nature of the fact that it's think strip of beef so it was hard to tear it with your teeth while you're eating the rest of the tender Burger. Next time I might pull it out and eat it separately. I would recommend this burger. The poutine fries were a little bit bitter due to the potato skin still being on it. So that made it slightly unenjoyable. I wouldn't recommend it personally unless you like that bitter earthy taste in homemade fries. At the time they had a deal with the poutine and drink so I was happy to save a couple dollars there. My friend had the chicken tenders and remarked that it was so soft and that it "melted in her mouth". So the only thing is that the cash register is up a flight of stairs and the bathroom is down a flight of stairs, and small. This makes parts of this place inaccessible to people with wheelchairs or walkers and other assistive devices. I'm not sure if they are able to take your order and use a wireless payment machine. But you're out of luck when it comes to the down-the-stairs, small single person washroom for sure. Some street parking is available but limited. I am craving the burger and I hope to return soon. The staff were super nice.

    Okay, this was a treat! I had Bacon Cheese Smash with a side of onion rings. The burger was a perfectly seasoned burger topped with caramelised onions, pickles , and their lab sauce (awesome). The onion rings were perfectly crunchy but not overdone. To be honest, I couldn't think of anything negative about this meal. I highly recommend Matt's BurgerLab, and I will be back again.

    Smash burger double patty with cheese
    Mae P.

    We ordered the beef smash burger with double patties and cheese. patties were super juicy, brioche was was perfectly toasted yet still soft- perfect. chicken tenders were also juicy and came with a massive load of fries good for three already. the strawberry milkshake was too thick and sweet for me. overall, loved the food, resto was clean and service was.

    Everything is always tasty. A lil pricey but good portions of good food. And it's halal for all the Muslims out there!

    This place was amazing. The owner and or the chef was very receptive to how we wanted the burger…read more It was our first time there and he guided us on what was regularly ordered. The burger, a kamikaze burger had a lot of toppings on it, but I decided to take out the lettuce and tomatoes. it had a sweeter pickle, but I kind of prefer the older style dill pickle. The burger was the size of my hand and wear an extra large glove so that gives you a reference of how big this burger was. This burger was cooked perfectly and super tender, and the sautéed onions were delicious. The fries were amazing and fresh and it had a light coat of Cajun seasoning or house seasoning with a monster topping cheese. We will definitely be back and we are from Maryland, USA. The decor was simple and you can see him making your food in front of you.

The burger was massive and very generous with the toppings. They wisely provide plastic gloves for you so that as you wrangle the burger with both hands, you can keep them relatively clean. The honey and onion blended together to provide an overall pickle flavor. It was unexpected, but not an issue, as I do like pickles. Perfect place to satisfy a burger craving.

    JABS is one of (if not) the best burgers in Toronto. I mean top of the list, certified S tier…read more The beef is genuinely juicy and well seasoned. The flavour stays with you through the whole burger rather than fading out after the first couple of bites. And please, do not skip the JABS fries. They're basically what In-N-Out wishes their animal fries tasted like. Get them even if you're full, you'll make room for them. Lots of burger spots in Toronto get hyped and then let you down. This isn't one of them. Follow @foodpharaoh on Instagram and @foodpharaoh_ on TikTok for more Toronto eats.

    This may be toted as just another burger place spot but it is far from your average joint…read more I had lunch here recently and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The service was friendly and patient as I was greeted upon entry and took my time perusing the menu. The restaurant was very clean and organized, not a lot of stuff on the walls and the bathrooms were in top shape which I appreciated. I ordered the classic double burger, with a side a fries and a cane cola. The burger was delicious! Toppings were fresh and tasty, and it made a mess with the sauces and condiments which is a sign of a great burger. It wasn't overly huge, a good size for my hands and they did get messy as I devoured this scrumptious burger. The Cane Cola was a nice accompaniment to try for the first time but not necessary to enjoy the burger. The fries were golden and crispy and quite a large portion for the price. I just wished the fry lengths were a bit longer as I received a lot of tiny pieces instead of longer potatoes which meant I was scooping them up in my hand to eat them. Not a dealbreaker, just an annoyance. The wait for the food wasn't very long, about 5-8 minutes and they brought the order to the table. I really enjoyed the burger and fries making this NOT just another burger spot but MTTBS = Must try this burger spot!

    Walked into Crack Burger after seeing the 1000+ 5-Star Google reviews posted on the sign outside…read more It's a small spot, maybe 12 seats and right away he questioned why I should trust Google reviews when he inquired how we heard about them. The owner definitely gave me a little New York attitude about that, and honestly, his personality ended up being half the experience. We ordered two Crack Burgers, poutine fries, regular fries, and a completely plain burger for my very picky husband. The owner originally thought the plain burger was for a child since he was outside and seemed low-key offended when he realized it was an adult ordering a burger and a bun :) Then I made the mistake of asking for ketchup before I'd even tasted mine. Absolutely not. He basically told me I needed to try the burger FIRST before I was allowed to start adding anything to it. And you know what? I respect it. His personality may be a little off-putting if you don't appreciate that kind of humor, but we thought he was hilarious. You can tell he's genuinely passionate about his food and wants you to taste it the way he intended before changing anything. He was super honest, a really nice guy, and made the whole experience memorable. And most importantly, the food backed him up. The Crack Burger was amazing and I'm not even a big burger person. Would absolutely return if we're ever in Toronto again. Just know before you walk in: you may be the paying customer, but apparently you're still trying that burger his way first. And for good reason and it's good!
