    GREAT burgers and fries. Prompt and genuine service. Well done gentlemen.

    Just tried OBQ Burgers on Browns Line in #Alderwood for lunch and it did not disappoint. I like to think of myself as a burger expert and don't really go out for burgers often because I can make them myself but their burger was really good. I just went for their basic cheese burger and it has really good flavour. My wife and I shared the basic poutine also and it was very good and it looks like they have a lot of options for specialty fries / poutines which look amazing too and can't wait to try them all. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a tasty burger!

    Menu has a decent selection

    I've seen this place for quite some time but never made the effort to pop in and give it a try. I have friends that live on/near Lakeshore and there's a handful of places down there I check out from time to time like 850 and Woody's so Brown's Line for me was just me passing through. I finally decided to give it a try and they close kind of early during the week (8pm) so since my wife had to go somewhere nearby I popped in for a quick bite. The menu is large and a lot to read and some of the bigger options I hate to say I was rather afraid to ask about them. These burgers were upwards of 20 bucks and I wasn't really in the mood for a crazy huge meal but I did get the bacon and blue because I love bacon and I'm all about cheese. Smokey Blues as it's called has also comes with fried onions and I was asked if I wanted to add anything else so I asked for banana peppers as well. For a side they serve up fries many ways as well. I just wanted to go with the traditional poutine which is just gravy, curds and fries. They make a version without curds and cheddar if you're into that sort of thing as well as other options that I didn't bother to look at. The menu is diverse and if there was anybody behind me I'd let them go ahead as I had some decision making to do. I had placed my order and sat down to wait for it as I'd be eating in instead of taking it to go. The place only has a couple 2 seat tables so it's kind of small inside. The strip mall they are a part of, they occupy the south end of the building that shares with a really large Pizza Pizza, probably the largest one I've ever seen with booths and lots of seating. The parking in the tiny strip mall is a little awkward. It's small but also sort of tight, especially if there's a lot of snow. The burger was good but it didn't seem to be over the top impressive. I liked the bacon and blue but that part can't really be messed up. The burger itself was good and it was tasty but it didn't seem filling enough. The onions, peppers and sauce added some complimentary flavor however the bun for whatever reason was toasted and a bit over toasted on the inside. I would have preferred the bun to not be as toasted if at all. Still, overall the burger was good. The poutine was what I'd expect from a standalone burger place in that it would be done right. The fries didn't get overly soggy and the curds were as they should be. The burger while not necessarily extraordinary the poutine was very good. Overall the bang for the buck at OBQ seems only satisfactory. I liked the choices and such but it seems rather expensive for the value. It's not often I'll get a burger, poutine and drink and have it be close to 20 bucks. I'd still like to return and try something else since there's so much to try. There's options for adding patties to either 4 or 6 oz burgers and if the preselected menu isn't the way to go you can always customize as well.

    SUPER skeptical about going in here since it looks so sketchy from the outside, but the burgers are crazy good. The poutine, too. I mean, I just had the normal poutine with gravy and Quebec curds, but it was perfect. They offer different ways to top your fries/poutine, but that seems sacrilegious in Canada. Why do people want variations on an already perfect dish? Makes zero sense to me. The fries to gravy to curd ratio was impeccable. There's an art to making a good poutine, and these gentlemen have it mastered. Anyway, the fries were fantastic and the burger was really, really good. Ignore the terrible signage out front and get the hell in here.

    Tasted nothing like fresh cut fries!! Comparable to Harveys fries (not the Swiss chalet ones)

    This place is small, wasn't busy when I went and its next to a really large pizza pizza. No bathrooms I came here with a craving for poutine, let's just say I love poutine with every ounce of my being. It's the epitome of being Canadian Sadly, this place does not have fresh cut fries!! The sign on the exterior lists "fresh cut fries". Final verdict? Glorified harveys poutine, but double the price.

    Hands down the best burger joint in the city. And it's much more convenient than Priest Burger. Free parking, easy to get to, and doesn't take 30 minutes to get your burger. Did I mention it was effin' delicious? Best quality of meat I've ever had in a burger. Pretty much eaten half their menu already and their menu is HUGE.

    Great little take out place for burgers and such. Here is a breakdown of the food: 1. Onion rings - nice and tasty, smaller rings than what I would have preferred, I like my onion rings 1/2 inch thick. With that being said I would order again. 2. Burger: Bun- nice soft sesame seed bun, a little too bug for the burger as I want the patty to full cover if not over lap the bun. Patty - cooked to perfection, still juicy but fully cooked. They added either onion salt or garlic powder in the patty which I would like to go with out. My wife lived the burger I enjoyed it.

    Not the best pic but this is the "OBQ Burger". It's supposed to be 6 oz but, as you can see, it's only about 4 oz or less - almost $9!

    I was really hungry so I stopped in here for lunch on my day off as the place I was planning on going to ran out of the menu items I wanted. It's basically a small, take-out place with only seating for about eight. I ordered the OBQ Burger which I was told was six ounces and it came to close to $9.00 with tax. I waited about 10 minutes while it was being prepared and, luckily, it was ready before three very sketchy individuals came in. Once I smelled the weed off them, I realized they just had the munchies! Pros: meat was definitely good quality, fresh and not frozen; enough napkins were provided; service was friendly. Cons: the sauce that comes with the burger was watery, which caused the bun to get wet; bun was not fresh; meat was four ounces NOT six ounces as what I was told; meat to bun ratio was way more bun; meat had no flavor; no gloves were worn while preparing food; NOT good value for the money. I should have just drove down to Woody's ...

    Yum yum, a 6 oz double banquet burger, mmm mmm good!

    Smash burgers in Union Station food hall…read more Went for a walk on my lunch break to see what I could grab to eat that wasn't my usual suspects. Stumbled upon this smash burger joint in the food hall at union station. Located in an array of diverse restaurants I found this gem in the pocket between the bay and york concourses amongst the sea of new restaurant spots in the union station area. Not a huge menu, you got the classic burgers and some of their special items on the menu. Sides include "regular sides" and "premium sides", the premium sides is just a classic poutine. I ordered one classic smash burger combo with water and fries, and one extra burger on the side. (one order of fries is enough unless you plan on sleeping at your desk) The burger itself was good. It all the fixings you would expect in a classic hamburger. Lettuce, onion, tomato, pickles, american cheese and secret sauce. There was something lacking though that for me, didn't hit the spot. Perhaps the burger wasn't saucy enough for my liking? It was good don't get me wrong, but one of those "missing something" moments, y'know what I mean? The fries - decent portion, not five guys good, but still a good filler. Fries themselves were crispy and hot, the seasoning was good on the fries with the sriracha aioli. Albeit I did find the fries a little salty to my taste and needed that aqua to quench my thirst. Overall 7/10 experience - if you're looking for seating there's standing and sitting areas all around union but the space directly in front of the restaurant is a mixed bag and pretty busy during a monday lunch hour.

Unfortunately, I was on a time crunch as I had a concert to go to after, and I'm a very slow eater. I figured I'd have a chance to try a bit more in smaller portions via a kid's combo. But turns out, you need a 12yo/younger child with you to be able to order one. - I get the principle, but there was no option to order a smaller portion via other menu items or combos, and no hate to your staff but they made it a big deal. But it wasn't a big deal. But it became a big deal because they turned it into a thing, discussing among their staff, about how I can't order it because I'm not 12 years old. I get it, it's the policy, why would I ask them to go against it, they're just the employees, not the rule makers. But what child is going to Union station to order themselves a kid's combo! Also!!! How do you know I didn't come with a child??? But anyway. Please consider offering a small non-kids combo in the future for people who don't like ordering large portions. I ended up ordering the classic smash burger. I loved the texture of the burger, it was so moist and the buns were soft. The patty was the perfect thickness. Unfortunately, flavour wise it was extremely salty. I had to wash it down with pop that I bought elsewhere. So disappointed. I really hope this was a one-off. Located in Union Stn beside Mean Bao on the same level as the food court. Closest exit to Scotiabank Arena. There's public seating all around because it's located in a food court.

I ordered a cheeseburger and fries from the super nice, mustachioed guys inside. They listened to classical music while the fryers were going, which was unexpected and quite nice. :) First, the burger. Don't order one. It's wretched. Nasty mass-produced patty, Costco-quality bun, anemic slice of tomato, sad little lettuce leaf. I took one bite and tossed it. On the other hand, the fries were the best I've ever had. I'm not kidding, they're absolutely delicious. They're chunky cut, skin on, and fried a crispy, beautiful brown. I don't care that the generous portion of fries probably equalled twice my daily calorie allotment. I ate every single one. From the other people crowded around the truck, I learned that I should have had the poutine -- it's supposed to be fabulous. They also have hot dogs and sausages, which I hope taste better than their burger. That said, I'm actually looking forward to being on campus again on Monday just so I can eat more of their delicious frites. Yes, I'm crazy. Crazy about the Blue Chip Truck!
