    Wanted to try this burger place for a long time and I'm glad I finally did. The service was very friendly and helped me order the most popular items on the menu. Burger- their burger was charcoal broiled and you could taste the unique flavour immediately as you bite into the burger. They had a variety of toppings as well and I highly recommend getting the caramelized onions; such a great combination with the charcoal flavour! Poutine- a huge portion for what I paid for. Fries were made fresh and the gravy complimented the cheese. The only downside is that they did not use cheese curds but overall the flavours meshed very well together. Highly recommend coming here for the charcoal broiled burgers and I will definitely be back!

    We had the bacon burger, double banquet burger, jumbo hot dog, and fries and onion rings combo. It was fantastic! Big portions, so come hungry. Personally, don't forget to ask for salt (I like my fries saltier) . Note: it is cash only.

    Poutine. Fries were unique (in a good way). Not quite like your usual soft fries. Had some nice crisp to them.

    Really nice spot for some fast-food priced food that tastes, well, much better than fast food. Taste wasn't out of this world or anything, but very good. Definitely going to come again. It's also open till 4am, which is awesome. Couple notes: - they only accept cash - there's nowhere to sit indoors - it can get crowded depending on the day/time

    Steak sandwich

    Hello fellow foodies, today I bring you a review that is long overdue, I been eating at this place for at least the last 15 years or so ,  this place is as old as Brampton and a real landmark , been around since I was a teenager.  This place is just like Johnnys in Scarborough but the Brampton version same type of greasy late night food you crave after a hangover or after a club night or party .They  been  around serving the community  forever  since  1965  apparently. If you're looking for quality this is not the place for you, if you looking for fancy  this is also not for you , but if you're looking for a quick late  night drive in or some great  hungover food then this  is the place.  They have very large portion sizes, specially their fries /poutines and onion rings , There burgers are not small about  average size frozen patties thrown on the char-broil . If you're looking for that burger that tastes exactly like the frozen patties you throw on your home BBQ then Sonny's are identical taste and flavor. The serve hotdogs, souvlaki, fish and chips, pitas and steak sandwiches which I opted for today with some grilled onions and  BBQ sauce. Their prices however are very reasonable and have always been! Bonus points for that. 4/5  I  am  giving  this place a  very generous rating only because they  deserve it being such a Brampton landmark, I mean the quality of their ingredients are average at best probably 2.5/5 in reality, nothing extraordinaire, meaning they use frozen  meats  poor  quality products for the most part not  all etc ...Their toppings however have always been fresh in my experience no complaints there,  but you have to give them credit for having great  prices and great  greasy late-night  drive-in  food since 1965, and some of their items are actually pretty good ,  specially their fresh cut fries/poutine/onion rings and burgers  are decent and you could never go wrong with their souvlaki if you have that late night craving. My sandwich today  was decent a  very thin cut steak  grilled  nicely ,  definitely had the flame grilled flavor the grilled onions  were really nice , the bun  is that gluey type sticky not so great at all  same one they  use on their burgers , but edible under rare circumstances, lol. I have had probably everything on the menu at the is place over the years, I don't think I ever had a complaint  but I was also not impressed either it's just  that kinda food , its good  at the right moment and that's about all you're going to get. Service 5/5 I have been to this place, easily over 50  times in the past years and I can't recall a moment even during a late night rush were service was not great , fast and friendly .

    Poutine

    I love sonnys poutine! I order it whenever I get the chance. Although it's not the more traditional cheese curds it's shredded cheese it's honestly so good I don't even care. The portions are huge and the prices are even better. The poutine is so huge it's filling enough to be a whole meal.

    I Had the Banquet burger and Onion rings. Excellent for the price and what I was getting. I asked for a homemade and the server was quite honest by saying that it was a frozen patty. I would definitely come back. Service was friendly and the restaurant was clean. Seating available only outside.

    Don't add cheese and dairy to burgers that don't ask for it. Duh. Wasted so money and time here.

    This was a pretty solid burger spot. It's known for having a huge variety of burgers with a ton of…read moredifferent toppings and combos, so it's nice to be able to customize and pick what you want. They have classic burgers and also really unique ones with crazy toppings, which makes it stand out from your typical burger places. The interior has a cool vibe, kind of industrial and rustic with a casual feel. It's not super fancy, but it's a nice sit-down spot to go with friends. It feels relaxed and a bit different from fast food burger joints. When I went, it had a chill energy, not too loud but still lively. I ended up getting one of their more loaded burgers, and it was really good. The patty itself was juicy and cooked well, and you can tell they use fresh, hand-pressed beef which makes a difference. The toppings were honestly the highlight, they really pack it which I like. The portions are also very big. Between the burger and the sides, it's a heavy meal, so i'd recommend this spot if you're really hungry. Their menu is also huge, which is nice, but it can be a bit overwhelming trying to choose because there's so many options. Service was good overall. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially if it's your first time and you don't know what to order. Food took a bit of time, but that's expected since everything is made fresh. Price-wise, it is on the higher side for burgers, but you are getting a big portion and a more "gourmet" style meal, so it kind of balances out. Overall, I'd say it's a solid spot if you're craving a really loaded burger and want something a bit different. Not necessarily the best burger I've ever had, but definitely worth trying at least once, especially for the variety and fun menu.

    Amazing burger. The burger menu is absolutely awesome. Great atmosphere and serviceread more

    Tried this place on 2 separate occasions,…read more The first time I tried the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and the second time I tried the chicken shield sandwich. Both times the food was absolutely amazing, the chicken they have is thick and not mostly batter unlike a typical Popeyes or KFC. The chicken was seasoned to perfection and it's one of the best chicken sandwiches I've had in Mississauga. The service is great as well, if you dine in they serve it right to your table unlike a typical fast food joint. The employees are very pleasant and I felt like they went above and beyond with the quality of food to the quality of service. Overall 10/10 for service and quality, definitely coming back with family.

There's plenty of parking in a private parking lot. Great for families and kid friendly. It's over the counter service like fast food restaurants. The menu is BIG. Known by their big, messy smash burgers, Gladiator delivers on offering all the greasy goodness you're looking for. I tried the Liberator burger and got a side of onion rings. Like other premium burger joints -- getting a combo is extra (+$5.39) on top of the burger price. So I wouldn't say this is affordable for an everyday fast food experience. The Liberator was delicious though! Featured a cheddar-stuffed portobello mushroom that is breaded and deep fried. Basically akin to Burgers Priest's "The Priest" burger. The onion rings were passable but not the best breading. It was pretty oily and heavy. Could not finish them. Would only return if a friend was craving big burgers.

From walking in, they did a great job with the renos. Nice and open and a clean look. The patio area is nice too. There's a lot of wall art, and some of it mentions how everything is fresh - such as never-frozen meat, and even in-house prepared beans (rather than canned) for the tacos. I had the double hamburger, and it was definitely made from fresh meat and cooked on a nice hot flat top. Lots of a choice for ingredients and all was very fresh. My son had the pulled pork sandwich. Though it won't be competing among the best compared to some BBQ places, it was still very good - better than I expected and enjoyable even more since they placed the meat on the flat top, giving it nice caramelization and served hot. The lemonade was very good too. I'll next have to come in to try either their tacos or a burrito. My entire skepticism may finally be quelled at that point. Though I imagine it's more on the Tex-Mex side of things, given that they seem to be delivering on the quality and freshness of their ingredients, it should be pretty good. Excellent value. I'd rate the food a solid 4 stars, but the value is phenomenal here which brings up my rating. Crazy to think their burgers are cheaper than many fast food places. And everything seems reasonably priced. Oh, and presently open 24 hours which is amazing too.
