Lowkey spot below ground level that doesn't have much of an atmosphere but the food makes up for it. We got the cheesy smash and the classic smash burgers with a side of fries. The fries were delicious and you could actually taste the potatoes. The burgers were very nice, very thin smash that went very well with the sauce and onions. Because the patty is thin, I felt that the cheese overpowered a bit of the patty but it was still quite good. The service was pretty ordinary, nothing over the top but I wouldn't expect it to be at a quick burger spot.
Visiting from The US and was looking for a good burger in the area. So happy to have found Matt's Burger Lab. Restaurant and restrooms were very clean. The staff was so helpful and the service was fast and food was brought to my table. I ordered a triple and also an order of poutine(when in Rome) Everything was served hot ,well seasoned and very delicious. I was happy with my whole dining experience.
It's a decent smash burger but the highlight was the fries... unfortunately the beef patty itself lacked flavor or taste the toppings certainly helped cover that up but I needed a little more out my experience
Outstanding!!!! After a long day of travel Frm Houston to Toronto, all I wanted was a good burger to help me sleep good.. This place met the mark!! The service was great, The gentlemanTan' was very informative and patient!! The vibe was cute and played back' and a huge menu... I hade a regular cheeseburger' and say this Texas size positions ' topped with with a cinnamon toast shake!! omg The food was so fantastic!!! Needless to say THIS meal put me right to sleep!
Even though there was plenty of seating area, I wanted a quick takeout burger and fries, could have upgraded to a combo to include a soda&dips but I'm finally watching my daily sugar limit, ozempic be gone. Got their smashed cheeseburger and natural cut fries. Nicely flattop grilled crusty 100% beef with no fillers, bun texture was similar to a those foam pillows/mattresses which change & conform to your head/body shape. Topped off with 4 pickle slices, shredded lettuce and their house sauce. All in perfect ratio if there was a burger heaven. Fries were skin on and the portion was enough to feed a family of 4. Nice mom @ pop operation which goes to the top of my list pass those burger chains that has infested all of society.
I got the classic burger and onion rings on a weekday around noon and it wasn't busy at all. Deducting 1 star because the patty was more to the drier side. It wasn't juicy at all. I loved the onion rings because they were so crispy. I ended up taking half home and it was still crispy couple hrs later lol Harvey's used to be my #1, but this was way better!
Matt's Burger Lab has daily deals and they finally lured me in with the burger + drink combo. The service was friendly, and the burger was made fresh to order. I really liked the amount of pickles, onions and sauce on the burger, and the patty itself was solid. Overall a very reasonable meal.
This specials at this burger place are pretty cheap. Got the bacon cheese smash (on special) & medium fries. The burger was decent. The patty could be juicier (though it wasn't dry) & the char flavour could be better. The beef bacon was good for beef bacon. Fries were a big portion. The fries seemed fresh, not frozen & came with a good creamy sauce. They were fresh & hot but a touch firm & rather greasy There's a TV which plays videos of indie bands doing covers. Lotus biscoff shake could've been thicker but there was a lot of crunchy cookie in it so the flavour was good.
Today was a special day! 2 smash cheeseburgers for ten bucks! It was a one day promo I caught on instagram so I came over in the crummy rain. Totally worth it! The bun was pillowy soft. The beef patty was smashed and crisp. The cheese was evenly melted. There were pickles and fried onions. No more, no less. A classic burger without lettuce and tomato. Oh right, the sauce was reminiscent of Big Mac but better. They even included a packet of ketchup but I didn't need it. The burger was juicy but not greasy. Very enjoyable.
I quite like the burgers here. They always come with a huge amount of sides and are reasonably priced. I loved their oreo milkshake!!
I ordered the Matt's Veggie Burger with lettuce and onion which was on a two for one sale. I got one with the keto bun. It turned out to be over $30 via Ubereats (which is a lot for one burger!). It seemed to be made out of TVP/soy protein but I was expecting something healthier for that price. There was zero onion on it. See pic. The lettuce was stale shreds and not enough when it's the only condiment they put on. Somehow a 2 for 1 ended up $10 more expensive than the best veggie burger on UberEats. Nope. Never again.
Went on a Saturday and was surprised it wasn't busy at all! The shop is below ground level, you go down some stairs from the street to go in. We had: - Beef bacon smash: There was an awesome daily special deal we could not pass on for this. Came with a soft drink (we chose Nestea) for around $7 which is a steal. However, we found it was too salty (the patty with the bacon combined was overkill). The patty was a great smash patty, crispy on the edges. 7/10 - Mushroom and egg: This was great. Although the patty was too salty in the beef bacon smash, the eggs and the mushrooms mellow it right out! I did expect the egg to be runny, but turns out it was fully cooked, so that was a bit of a bummer. Got a combo with a diet coke and fries (see review in the next point). 8/10 - Fries: Amazingly well seasoned. If you like chunky, starchy fries, these are fries for you! They have a nice cajun seasoning. I was also extremely impressed that they come with garlic mayo and spicy mayo on the side, which is my preferred choice of condiment with my fries (as opposed to ketchup)! 9/10 Overall, food was great and service was good! Their burgers are also halal as well. Definitely check this out, they got some good stuff here!
This burger place I went to in Toronto is the best burger I've had so far. It has a lot of juicy meat and plenty of cheese, making it very satisfying. However, it's a shame that the chicken nuggets we had were all made with chicken breast, which made them a bit harder to bite into. The French fries were just average with nothing particularly special about them. Overall, it's an average restaurant. 呢間burger係我喺多倫多食過so far最好食嘅burger，肉汁相當之多，而且有滿滿嘅芝士，飽足感係十足，但係好可惜我哋食嘅雞塊，佢全部都係用雞胸肉，相對地比較難入口。薯條就正正常常冇乜特別。整體嚟講係一間average嘅餐廳。
Came here for a quick dinner after an event. It's open late which was really convenient. I got the cheese smash with fries. The burger was tasty and I liked how thin the patty was which made some parts crispy. The cheese was a bit overpowering so I couldn't taste the beef all too much but it was still a decent burger. Great option for a late dinner or a quick bite to eat. read more
Note: Review is for delivery. If there were a massive rankings of all the burgers in the city, this smashburger would be smack in the middle: Not bad, not exceptional, pretty good in taste and cost. Also got the peanut butter milkshake, couldn't really taste the peanut butter. read more

My family and I stopped here after ChatGPT ranked it #1 for burgers in Toronto. We got the Sunday Special (Beef Bacon Double Smash Burger Combo), and I added an egg. Man... Great customer service, awesome food, and they even hooked our kids up with 2 free milkshakes! 10/10. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Toronto! read more

I came here to pick up takeout for lunch with a coworker. You are looking to spend probably around $20 but depending what you get (like a $9 poutine) , your price may vary. Overall I quite liked the burger here. Ingot somewhat of a banquet burger , with the nice fried egg and a nice greasy bun. Exactly how a burger should be. The patty was really good and seasoned nicely The taste was really good on the burger. I ate it so fast along with stuffing my face with onion rings. My friend got a spicy chicken sandwich. This one confused me unless we got the wrong order. It looked nothing like the picture with the purple slaw, but was a chicken cutlet breaded and tasted like curry. She did not like it at all, so she gave me half. (Bonus for me) and drowned the other half in ketchup as she is a pretty picky eater. I still thought it tasted good but the description made no mention of curry flavour and there was none of that purple slaw I saw in the picture when ordering. Overall I still liked it. Never bothered to follow up with them if this is the wrong order or just how it is. So I can't really judge them on how they handle the situation. I would definitely go back. It is a bit pricy, but that is downtown in general. read more
So glad that there's now a decent gourmet burger place that we can go to. We used to get our burger cravings with another known burger chain in the same area (well known for their "secret menu" and religious connotation) but lately we're not happy with the quality of their burgers anymore. Came on a weekend during lunch time and place was pretty quiet. The lone staff (who was also the Manager/Cashier/Cook) was very nice, friendly and helpful. They have a daily special of Smash Burger, Fries, Drink and the price was pretty reasonable. We upgraded the fries to onion rings for $1.50 more and hands down was one the best onion rings in Toronto. Thick slices of onions were deep fried to crunchy golden brown perfection. The smash burger with its tender juicy meat, creamy cheese, caramelized onions, pickles and their zesty signature sauce on a toasted bun was satisfyingly good! Also tried one of their Signature Burger - Big Egg Theory. The soft egg yolk and oozing melted cheese breaks and seeps into the beef patty making a heavenly combination of taste and texture. Can't wait to come back and try other things on their menu. read more

I'm always down for a smash This $8.50 classic smash was tasty in between a pillowy bun topped with lettuce, onions and pickles. Although a little dry, it definitely hits a classic burger craving. And for an additional $6 to make it to a combo, they give you a generous serving of fries. For an additional $1, you can get a little dip of rosemary garlic mayo which was so good, but big emphasis on LITTLE. I would've wanted a bit more to increase the sauce to fry ratio. read more

I was initially tempted by the photos on Google Maps but my experience in person was disappointing. We went for a bite after a Jays game and while service was good, burgers and fries were AWFUL. Just awful. The fries were soggy, stale, and not crispy at all. The cheeseburger was an even greater disappointment. First off, you're getting pickles and onions on your cheeseburger and THAT'S IT. No lettuce. No tomatoes. No cucumbers. Nothing. Just pickles and fried onions - both of which I hate. They use unpleasant cheddar cheese and there's no option to upgrade to quality Swiss cheese. This was by far one of the worst burgers I've ever had in Toronto. The only reason why I finished my cheeseburger was that I was hungry after the game. I'm never going back to this place again. Chef Matt Yilmaz, please go to Holy Chuck at Yonge and St Clair and learn how to make quality burgers. Your cheeseburger was a big disappointment. read more
Late night hankering for a greasy burger & greasy, crunchy onion rings? They have it.. but it's a different kind of grease.. heavy. . almost First of all they don't have any lettuce or tomato or any of your regular hamburger toppings?!! I was disappointed because I swear I had tomato & lettuce coming with my burger :( what's up with that Matt? You show a picture of lettuce at the bottom with red onion & a tomato at the top of the burger? False advertising.. I don't think it matters what burger you get (maybe perhaps the veggie ones) but I feel like every burger is a juicy greasy one. I do like the smashed burger patty (it's my all time favourite). The bun is a nice brioche bun, however I got the texture of 1/2 bun 1/2 croissant-ish!? I enjoyed it! My burger kind of came all squished & messy looking, like "this is my burger?" (A note of questionable disappointment). The other burger came nicely presented with brown wax paper or what have you with a skewer in it (much more presentable). The onion rings were definitely crispy and crunchy, yet some rings were lightly fried than others so there is a nice mixture of crispy & soft rings (I'm a SUCKER for the crunchy ones). The chipotle sauce is your typical sauce.. kind of weak & flavourless Overall for 2 people & the total of $59.58 for 2 burgers & a large rings for takeout was an OK evening's dinner.. a bit pricey if you ask me for missing toppings.. Probably will get this place in another year or so if we have such a greasy hankering! Haha But hey! That's why we try new places right!? To see which places are our favourite! I give this 6/10 at 2 stars ;) Ps: The Dog's Bollocks Burger has you beat! read more
