I miss the McRib!…read more I'm not a fan of poutine meaning I have not had one I absolutely wanted to have again. But dam, putting this smoked meat over poutine makes it the best ever! There is so much smokey, but not overpowering flavor, in the brisket I found myself eating this with the cold fries later in the day and it was still awesome. Eating cold fries is definitely not something I generally do or say but this smoked brisket was that great. Finally this portion was enough for a meal. Smoked and Smashed's rendition of the McRib sandwich is not spot on, it's better! Tender real pork rib meat, not processed molded, with the bones removed, thinly sliced pickles and fresh sliced onions layered on top with the most perfect tangy BBQ sauce. I wish I had brought back a few of these back with me to the states. These need to be available on GoldBelly! Get here as early as you can because the secret is definitely out and they are selling out before lunch service is done. I did overhear staff saying they are upping production, hopefully there is no degradation in quality. There is absolutely no room to sit inside but there are outdoor picnic tables nearby.

We also had the Reuben and a Brisket poutine. The poutine and rib sandwich were our favourites. Was a little on the pricey side but quality was good. Lots of seating and cool vibes (love the Anthony Bourdain poster) with 90s hip hop music playing. We ordered on the self service machine and they called us to the counter to pick up the food when ready.

Ordered 3 beef burgers - the patty was a bit on the dry side, and part of the bun was soggy by the time we ate it (about 15 mins after leaving). The beef bacon is interesting (don't expect the fatty pork one). The good thing is the burgers were quite loaded with the chosen toppings. The fries were plentiful but also a bit on the dry side. One of our combos we upgraded to tornado fries and it wasn't worth the $3 extra. You get less potatoes, and it was way too salty/seasoned. Better of sticking with the standard fries

I had Fresh Burger a while back and forgot the name (so glad it came back to me), but remembered just how good it was and how it immediately reminded me of my favorite burger chain back home. Fries aren't comparable because like most places, they're frozen (still good tho) but that was a damn good burger. Can't rate the service or ambiance because I had this via delivery but even after it sat for a bit the bun remained soft and the patties were so juicy yet crisp on the outside! I've literally only had this once but I think about it pretty often, lol. I'll probably stop by soon to upload photos. Would be amazing if they had a location closer to Oakville or Burlington.

Maybe I goofed and made a mistake ordering the Juicy Lucy. It sounded the most interesting and I…read morewas expecting to be blown away or for it to look like some of the cheeseburger photos posted online. It looked nothing like the cheeseburger from Burger Factory that's posted online. The patty was not even thick at all! I received a thin patty which contained cheese but I had to get to the center of the burger to get a bit of cheese oozing out. The rest of the patty was essentially a Mc D caliber patty. If you look at the pic I posted, the meat to bun ratio was also totally off. The bun was bigger than the meat so I had bites where I was literally just eating thick bread and veggies. The cheeseburger photos show big chunky meat patties so I'm wondering if I got an employee who didn't really know what he was doing? I opted for a combo and got mac n' cheese bites as my side. These were exceptionally disappointing. I'm no mac expert but I'd be willing to bet a dollar that they use Kraft dinner in these mac n' cheese bites. Overly salty, overly processed. No dipping sauce, just came with two ketchup packets on the side. For a meal that hit me for over $20 I truly felt ripped off. This combo was NOT worth $20+. I had a double Shack burger from Shake Shack literally a week prior to eating here and that burger was MILES better and way more "gourmet" tasting than this one.

This place is great. Came on a late night, place is very clean with plenty of seating. Asked the…read moreguy at the register what people usually get and they said a lot of people try the Juicy Lucy as it's very cheesy and melts in your mouth. Seemed a little too adventurous for me so I went with their promo at the time which was 2 cheeseburgers and fries for (i think $15). Burgers were 5oz each so you can imagine how full I was. Very nicely cooked, they use a really good quality sesame bun which I think makes a big difference when you bite into the burger. Good toppings and the fries were nice and lite. Not too oily and salty as other places are. A great deal that is probably not around anymore haha. Shoutout to Matthew there for hooking us up with some free ice cream too as they were just about to close.

Superb burgers. I tried their OZ burger which is the basic burger with crispy fried onion string…read more The patty was flavorful and juicy. I also got their Yukon fries which I absolutely loved neither super thin or thick just the perfect cut. I do recommend getting the Z sauce to add on the burger or just eat with the fries, really yum. I do want to try more of their burgers the next time I visit. You can either build a burger or go with their specialty burgers. Do checkout their menu. I came in after I had been hearing about them for sometime and I can say I left happy. If you're looking for a halal option this place has crispy chicken as an option but again pls ask before you order. The overall service was very good. My food came out in timely manner. The place is clean. There is seating at the location. There is limited parking.

This is a hidden gem in the Weston Lawrence area. Owner operated and 1 of 2 locations (other in…read moreStoufville). Food (4.5/5) - burgers are all homemade and 100% steak burgers so bit leaner than many places. There are different premade choices but I went with build your own. Patties were good and the toppings are extra but freshly made (eg. Fried onions and mushrooms cooked once you order). Patties are lightly seasoned so adding a sauce is a good idea. Siracha was a good fit for mine... along with an over easy egg. Overall it was a very solid burger. Service (4.5/5) - service was friendly and does take a little longer to get your order because it's ready made. Owner is friendly and you can tell he takes pride in the burgers. Atmosphere (4/5) - it's a fairly small place with a few tables spread out. The neighborhood isn't the greatest but the place closes at 8pm. Parking is not easy. Overall (4.25/5) - I will repeat and would recommend trying it out. Update - went back to try some of the designed burgers and had the Royal Z... it was very good... that MG sauce is perfect and the meat was fresh as before... double patties very filling. Will be back for another item next.

I usually get the Freshburger combo #1, which has cheese and one smash patty, and I ask them to load me up on the veggies. The combo comes with fries and a drink, and I upgrade my fries to the Cali fries- similar to In N Out's animal style fries which include their special sauce, caramelized onions, and cheese (you can also add other toppings too; my fam likes to add the spicy jalapenos and mushrooms). The service is always 10/10; everyone is super nice plus I love that they put each person's order in its own labeled bag! The restaurant is also pretty clean and the ambiance in general is very minimalistic - it's clear that the star of the show is the food! Definitely recommend this place if you're craving a really good burger and fries! (PS. Please bring a location to Michigan )

It's a little more pleasant too when the meal is served up by an enthusiastic owner at this new location. If you're looking for fancier options, you will be disappointed by the back-to-basics. As a bonus though, you can upgrade their combo fries to poutines with a Yelp check-in. Coming here is easier than firing up your own BBQ in the middle of winter. No need to wait for In-N-Out Burger when we have places like this around town.

Grill Gate is a large location that is a couple of storefronts combined. Lots of space to dine in if you like, with full table service. I got the gourmet cheeseburger- 8oz burger with cheddar and a lovely grilled mozzarella 'patty' as well. This thing was juicy and flavourful, the meat was seasoned in a way that reminded me of 'Mediterranean' lol. It's the best way I can describe it? So much mozzarella that I had a cheese pull! The fries come with a nice garlic sauce and honestly the whole meal was fantastic. Prices were affordable and worth it for how full I was for the rest of the day! Glad I finally tried it...I love smash burgers, but sometimes a good old fashioned burger just hits the spot.
