This spot is hidden on a side street at Osgoode station , ironically enough their large and bold RUDY sign may catch your eye ! I came here after seeing pictures of this smash burger on my Instagram feed and the smells coming off the burger were delicious ! The flavours were pretty standard - like a backyard burger. However, I suggest eating this right away as I waited till I got home to eat it and the crisp from the smash wasn't that crisp anymore (my fault) however, I'm definitely coming back here in the summer and bringing some pals ! read more

Basically Toronto's very own version of Shake Shack. I prefer this over Burger Priest. Simple menu with amazing burgers and fries. I always go for the double patty unless I'm getting this as an after dinner snack. Because sometimes you just need a second dinner. read more

Rudy - Rude Dude (Double Cheesburger) - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I was a little disappointed. This specific RUDY only has burgers. I was really looking forward to having their chicken sandwich, which is only at their other location. They also only have 2 chairs for seating here. We went during a snow storm so we were crammed inside. I should have done more research before deciding to go to this location. Nonetheless, the burger was fantastic and I truly did enjoy it. I was just upset by the limited menu here and the lack of ambiance. read more

Best smash burger in town! Hands down!! Love the Rudy Mac , I can't get enough of it! The original Rudy is really good too but nothing compared with the Mac sauce. If you are into chicken hamburgers , they have a good option, however it wasn't my favorite I think there are better chicken sandwiches elsewhere. read more

I'm a big fan of Rudy's original location on College Street and couldn't wait for this new location to open. They initially did a soft lunch opening last week (11am-3pm) and have since extended their hours until 9pm most evenings. We stopped by around 6pm for a quick bite and found the small space crammed with people. There's definitely a limited amount of seating inside but there are benches outside where you can munch on your burger. The kitchen is also small so the menu is reduced and consists simply of the Rudy (cheeseburger), Rude Dude (double cheeseburger) and fries. Prices are standard fare - $6.49, $8.99 and $3.49 respectively. I've been told they will increase the menu items over time. We ordered one of each burger and skipped the fries. The burgers were as expected - deliciously flavoured, juicy and with just the right amount of grease. The flavours were excellent and you could tell the beef chuck was fresh and not processed. While the prices are a little on the expensive side, it's roughly the same as you'd expect to pay at the likes of Burgers Priest down the street. They're clearly working some of the kinks out and refining things a little, but I'm sure the new location will do great! read more

Decent smash burger place. Doesn't have any seating inside which for me is a negative (especially in winter). Prices are also reasonable for 2023 standards. read more

BOMB AF don't think about just go try one for yourself, the poutine is fire don't sleep on it

TL;DR: One of the best burgers you can get on the west end, in the Entertainment District of Toronto. Rudy is situated on a quieter street off of Queen St. West. I haven't heard many people talk about this place so far, so be sure to try it out before the hype catches up and it gets super busy. Don't let the look of the place fool you--the interiors are low-key, but the burgers are high-key the best I've tried in Toronto so far. If you enjoy Shake Shack in USA, these are a very comparable option. I'd recommend the Double Cheeseburger and the fries. Definitely, a must try burger spot if you're in the area! read more

Small little space! Only two spots for seating. Meant to be as a takeout fast burger. The flavours go amazing together. The single part is small, but good with a combo of fries. If you're not getting fries, I'd suggest to grab a double patty for the burger to be filling enough. Even tho it was delicious, I feel that the prices were a tad overpriced for what you get. Regardless, I'd still grab more burgers from there if I'm a pinch! read more

Rudy - Rudy double cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

One of the best burgers in Toronto. The Rudy burger is like a drug as it leaves you always coming back for more. If you are a burger connoisseur, you need to try the Rudy burger. We decided to try their chicken sandwich "the Valentino" this visit around and we were not disappointed. The chicken was delicately fried and remained juicy with every bite. The chicken was also perfectly seasoned, adding immense spice to the sandwich Without a doubt, Rudy is a master of its craft. Please come here for a quick and hearty meal - you won't be disappointed read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Rudy earlier. If you like Shake Shack in the US, this is the same great taste. Delicious melt in your mouth burgers. They also have a solid poutine loaded with cheese curds and thick cut fries. The chicken burger is also very good, with a thick cut of white meat juicy chicken. The side fries here are thin and like McDonald's fries but without all of the salt. Hands down best burgers in the city! read more

Rudy - Single cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Got The Rudy ($6.99) which is their signature single patty smash burger that reminded me of Shake Shack. The burger was on the smaller side so I recommend getting their double burger Rude Dude ($9.99) for a more substantial burger. The vanilla milkshake ($6.49) was also a good, standard vanilla milkshake. I recommend ordering in advance during busy times since it was a 30 minute wait at 3pm on a weekend. Overall a good spot for a quality smash burger in Toronto! read more

Rudy - Rude Dude x2 ($6.99 each) and Vanilla Milkshake ($6.49) - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Horrible first experience back after reopening. Pre-ordered our food, and went up to the window once it showed it was ready just to be told "okay" and have them go back to making orders. Waited 10 minutes in the rain and went back up to the window to ask for our order and they asked for our name and went back to making food. After another 5 minutes we went back to the window and asked for our food a third time and they got a bag that was sitting there for the whole 15 minutes and handed it to us. They did not apologize or even acknowledge that we waited for no reason. Food was cold and not up to what they used to be. Will not be going back and do not recommend. read more

I don't know, maybe I'm just not a burger enthusiast or something, but I wasn't too happy with the burger here. I got the regular cheeseburger and fries. The fries were nice, got a large portion, enough for two even, but the burger was hilariously tiny. I get it's supposed to be small, like a White Castle burger or whatever, but for almost $12 with fries I was kinda taken aback. The burger was alright, it was smashed so the edges were all crispy, it was just so damn small. After I finished my burger, I still had like half my fries left, I didn't even feel full. read more

Rudy - A burger. Added some catsup. Don't be fooled by the other photos on Yelp, the burger is TINY. - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Yummay! Their burgers are so simple and delicious. The patties are thin so I usually get a double. They don't have a large menu b/c they just stick to the basics, and that's okay. This location is really tiny with only about 4-6 high top seats, so you may want to plan to take out. Sometimes I can get a seat, but a lot of times you can't. They cook to order, and the ingredients are super fresh. read more

One of our fav burger places in the city. There isnt many options to choose from (maybe 3 or 4 burgers) but thats more than enough if you just want a simple bacon cheese burger. The burger itself is always cooked perfectly.. classic toppings to choose from as well. The bun is also fluffy and toasted well. Not very much sitting in the actual store. They also have fries and drinks but thats as much as they have! So if you are ever craving a good ol simple burger, stop by Rudy! read more

Lives up to the hype. Solid burger but the star is definitely the poutine. Strawberry shake was also very tasty. Would go again without hesitation other than the risk of heart attack. read more

As they say, beauty lies in simplicity and that is specially true for these guys. They only have three options for burgers and those are the only options you'd need. If you miss the ye ole days when the burgers were simple, this is your place. They have none of that gourmet millennial stuff. We got double cheeseburgers, it was simple but very elaborately done. Small things like the meat was crispy on the sides but soft from the middle, real cheese was used which made the burger very gooeeyy. My only complain was the portion size but I guess it was reasonably priced for $9. read more

By far my favourite burger place in Toronto. If you are a fan of Shake Shack/In and Out and just classic cheeseburgers, Rudy is the spot. Similar to the other burger joints, their patties are on the thinner side so I recommend getting their double cheese burger (Rude Dude). They just cook it all so perfectly with the patty just a little crispy on the side and it's really juicy as well. There secret sauce is also bomb. Would also recommend the poutine. They give a good amount of cheese and gravy and the cheese is nicely melted and distributed throughout the poutine. Lastly, their fries are also good. They make it with thinner sliced potatoes and they taste like McDonald's fries, but better and fresher. Overall everything is so good! read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon. They only have three things to choose from really fries/poutine, choice between 2 hamburgers, and one fried chicken burger. We got everything on the menu lol. Burgers were amazing!! If you've ever had shake shack in the states you'll definitely like these. Fried chicken was spicy but delicious, and poutine was average tbh. My rating lost a star because there's no where to sit barley a few stools and the place was so so small and Smokey. We were coughing the entire time it was horrible. So don't expect to dine in take it to go! read more

Perfectly made smash burger, could actually taste the crispy bits. Whatever sauce they put on made it even better

Not the best burger in town so I didn't give it a 4. It's better than the burger factory shop around the corner on Queen that's for sure! Its a tiny stop by food store with a few stools to overlook the window. I ordered the double cheese burger with everything included..it was fresh and super cheesy but the beef patties inside were quite thin so I wouldn't recommend the single. Also I'd recommend to double up on the lettuce and tomatoes. If ur looking for a quick grab'n'go bite. But will I be coming here again? Most likely not. I will stick to my fav burger joint for now. read more

Friendly staff and Perfect burgers. It has a few bar stools for eat in but it seems like it's mostly meant for takeout. The burgers were the main focus here. Patties were melt in your mouth (similar to Shake Shack). Weren't a big fan of their fries (shoestring type) but they were still decent. We got a chocolate shake as well and that was well worth it. Will definitely be back for the burgers read more

Excellent juicy tasty burgers right downtown. We were craving CORKTOWN Burgers at Rogers Centre for a Jays game. But not opened this year due to Covid. Great friendly and efficient service too. Bonus! Thanks Alex for this suggestion. Yummy, filling and hits the spot. Even without Rudy sauce. Ha. In fact, i did return a few days later. So good. BRAVO! Keep it up! read more

Downtown Toronto has a new burger champ. The Rude Dude for the win. It's a double cheese that coincidentally reminds me of a Big Mac...but BETTER. Even the fries are fire. Seriously just gooooo! I love this spot. read more

Amazing burgers. Amazing prices. Still a relatively unknown gem. I think the burgers here rival Shake Shack and I actually prefer them more! You really can't beat these prices in the downtown core - under $7 for a single cheese burger. Their menu is simple and kept to under 6 items. There's a poutine which is also bomb. I see they've recently added a brownie option for dessert. Honestly, best burgers downtown. read more

It's a pretty good burger. I do admit, it's very small so I know there will be alot of people who might have to order at least 2 burgers to be full. I do recommend the poutine! The poutine is delicious and they are pretty generous with the cheese curds. The only draw back to this place is the size. Rudy is more of a take out restaurant. There is a very small table that could comfortable fit 2 maybe 3 people. Overall, a simple take out burger restaurant. They only have a few things in their menu. Burger, poutine or plain fries. read more

Great burgers all around. My favourite is the Big Rudy which is their version of the Big Mac but better. If you order the fries with it, they are like McDonald Fries. We all know those are pretty good too! One of the best burgers in Toronto read more

Best burger in Toronto! (The poutine is also really good.) I have been to Rudy about 15 times, and will continue to go whenever in need of a burger. Usually there is a line-up in front of it so try to order from Ritual in advance. Highly recommend! read more

I've been itching to try Rudy's ever since they opened up their location on Duncan and I was not disappointed. I made my order on Ritual because ain't nobody got time to wait in line. I appreciate the simple menu and I think it lends to the quality food that they serve. The cheeseburger I had was incredibly flavourful, juicy, and just the right amount of grease, (and I'm sorry to admit, but reminds me of shake shack). Highly recommend this place if you're in the Queen Street area. Definitely prefer their burgers to Burgers Priest. read more

First time trying Rudy, it wasn't our preferred burger type. The burger size is extremely small (making it a pretty expensive burger), patty extremely flat and a bit dry. We also got the poutine and wasn't impressed, but this is likely due to time to drive home which caused fries to get soggy/ gravy not hot enough to melt cheese. It's personal preference, but I like a thicker/juicer burger so will stick with Burger Priest! read more

My friend recommended it, and I read the Yelp reviews before ordering but I'm super disappointed by the result. I ordered from Uber Eats, first thing noticed is the bottom of the bag is melted open by the grease. All my food is stacked one on top of another. (I did see a review mentioning their food were all stacked together and squished) The Rude Dude burger (12 dollars) is super small, like kids meal. Super disappointed. The Valentino burger (10 dollars) chicken piece is almost two times the size than the bun, which is a relief. Might be due to the delivery time, it's not crispy anymore, inside seems to be grilled which is nice, but a bit salty. 5 dollar fries tastes just like McDonalds, super small like 1cm thick. Not worth it. Also had the 3 dollar brownies, small piece 8cm side square with like 3 cm thick. Tastes standard. I prefer High Priest so much more!!! At least their double patty burger can last me almost two meals. The Rude Dude Burger is like High Priest's single patty burger. I don't understand why people review and said "the taste is totally worth it even though it's super small", because I'm pretty sure many other burgers I had around 10 dollar are as good. Never gonna order this from Uber Eats again. Not sure if taste in restaurant would be so much better. read more

- Had to wait 1 hour for a small order - The meat is overroasted, I didn't like the burger at all. However, my wife kind of liked it, so probably it depends on the person. read more

Two stars because the burgers and fries are pretty good, although I can't agree that it's the best burger in Toronto as a burger reviewer said online. I preferred Burger's Priest. My problems were that there was a hair in a burger I got, and the vanilla shake was so-so and more frozen solid like ice cream than liquid like a shake. I also found the staff to be a bit rude. Is it too much to ask for the common courtesies of a greeting or goodbye? A simple "hello" or "have a nice day"? The service was kinder at Rudy's College st. read more

I was excited to try this place but it was a complete let-down. The burger was completely mediocre, fries were just okay. Furthermore, service was extremely slow. Do not recommend. There are many great burger joints in toronto and this is not one of them. read more

My solid go too on Duncan St. In my quest for the best burger in TO, these folks are on top as of now. read more

The best "smashed" style burger I've had in Toronto, maybe ever. Other reviewers compare it to Shake Shack which is doing it a massive disservice, Rudy's burgers blow Shake Shack out of the water and are on par or better than an "animal style" In n Out. Incredibly juicy, cheesy and simple - exactly what I wanted and better than I could have expected. To me, simplicity is key for burger joints and Rudy delivers with just fivethings on the menu at the Duncan St location, all done pretty much perfectly: a single patty burger, a double, and a burger with bacon; Fries; Poutine (get it. it's incredible). After the first bite I knew 100% I was ordering another one. Location-wise - It's effectively a takeout counter but there are two seats near the window if you want to eat it at max freshness. read more

Food was good and they would have got 5 stars if they allowed customers to order extra cheese curds. Maybe let your customers decide for themselves if they want more cheese curds. Its a shame because this poutine would be the best in the city if you allowed your customers to order extra curds. The burger was good but very small for the price. I wont order from here again until they figure out the simple task of allowing customers to pay more for more cheese curds. read more

I must say, Rudy on Duncan falls well short of the college location. Seriously, you guys need to up your game and staff accordingly to the needs of the time of day. We ordered in person and waited 20-30 minutes! As a result, the burgers were lukewarm at best. These Rudy smash style burgers need to be piping hot in order for the flavours of the meat to come out in full. They were definitely not here. That's what makes the burgers so incredible at the college location... the heat and the attention to detail of the staff! Rudy on College is a top 5 burger in the city and this location is most certainly a shell of that one. Sad to say but this Duncan location seems like a cash grab. The goal seems to be pumping out burgers left, right and centre to the business crowd. It was clear our burgers sat in a bag with no care for them from the apathetic staff, and got cold which was really disappointing. Get it together Duncan location and don't drag down the amazing college location with the same name. There is a huge difference and this was a big disappointment. read more
