-----Food----- Let me tell you... I don't like burgers. Not my thing. But GodDAMN was my burger and fries ever quality from here! Was like a subway for burgers and the meat was really good quality, not too greasy, and very very full of flavors. The fries were kinda new york style, and awesome. -----Condition----- Very clean and well maintained, clean bathrooms. -----Service----- Friendly, got served by a pretty cute girl -----Cosmetics----- A good looking interior for a burger place, really nice seating area. -----Accessibility----- Free parking everywhere. Easy to access. read more

Went with a friend since we were at Costco and wanted to have lunch in the area. I am not familiar with South St Burger but do know it's a chain. The place is clean, spacious and busy since it was prime lunch time. The concept is, you order at the counter, pay and then move along the line where they make your item fresh. Love that. Not a fan of places that have things pre-made and sitting under a heat lamp. Watching something made in front of you is the way I always like to go. I ordered a basic single cheese burger and fries. Found out the fries are NY fries which is great. Watched my burger being made, got to add all the toppings I wanted. They also have different ketchups and interesting selections. My burger was really good and so were the fries. My friend ordered a veggie burger and she wasn't a fan. She said it lacked taste and was dry. Which is too bad since she suggested this place. The cashier was friendly however the staff making the food seemed a bit over whelmed. Not sure if it's because it was busy? They were nice, no complaints. Will be back when again when I am in the neighborhood. read more

Close to home, see this place all the time, thought we would check it out. Turns out, we will never come back. THE BAD Server - a grouch! And stop texting! Put your phone away when on the floor! The food was very pricey and if you ask for just water, they charge you $2 for a bottle so keep your eye on the till calculator! The wait took forever to get a cooked burger even though the place was anything but busy. Food was cold and honestly, Burger King does a better job of burgers. These were sub-par. Even the NY poutine was cold. The curds should be warm and melted from the gravy right? Cold. The place was dirty - honestly, from the tables to the napkin area to the booths to the floors. $1.80 for extra cheese and bacon on a burger seems excessive to me for a place that boasts free toppings. THE GOOD Parking at the plaza never an issue I like the location I do like the free toppings that they do provide. They are fresh and tasty. From what I have seen, this place needs to be managed better and the prices lowered. read more

I came in two days ago and bought a burger for takeout. Got home a few minutes later and took a bite, it was cold. Looked down and the patty was rare in the middle. Threw the rest out. Next day I called and informed the manager about the burger issue. She said it was not from frozen and was not fried and then said something about Angus beef. She offered another burger, so I came in and also ordered poutine so that I was spending some more money since I felt bad about complaining. Burger was then cooked to the point of being welllllll done. Now for the poutine, for $8, it had a few cheese curds (like 8 little nuggets, on a larger) and not enough gravy to get the whole dish close to be melted nor covered. The place is new, but maybe the franchisors need to make a stop by and offer more training. Poor product currently. read more

Dry and over cooked. That pretty much sums up my experience at South Side. I ordered a chicken breast burger and onion rings to go. Both were over cooked and dry. The bun on my burger seemed past it's prime. Visible cracks could be seen on the top and it lacked freshness. The chicken breast was half a breast and then sliced again to create a thin, leathery piece of chicken. What this tells me is, this place is going out of business. Putting a bunch of toppings on a dried out and tough chicken breast doesn't disguise it's poor quality. The onion rings were over cooked, perhaps even double cooked I suspect, reusing onion rings from a previous day? That's how dry they were. I will not be returning. The food quality and value is lacking. The only redeeming quality is their location at Beacon Hill. Hopefully a better restaurant will take its place that takes pride in its product. read more

Hmm The burgers are good. The fries are tasty. They taste freshly cut and made. The onion rings were gross! So thick and doughy. Probably the worse onion rings I have ever had. Maybe just this batch was off. Not sure. But ew! I asked for a lettuce WRAPPED burger. Is this not common nowadays? They just put my burger on top of lettuce and threw a small piece on top. Um K. I had to eat my burger with a knife and a fork. Come on it's 2016. The gluten free bun my daughter had was a nice option. She liked her burger. Ample seating. It was handy to stop in after shopping in the area. But I would not go out of my way to eat here. read more

This is another attempt at a classier burger joint in my neck of the woods. My first impression was it's a fancier attempt at Harveys. The ability to choose spicy ketchup, cajun onions, goat cheese or mango chutney on your burger does come at a cost. I'd say it costs about $3-5 more for a full combo than Harveys for that extra class in your toppings. Is it worth it? Well... I'm not sure. Honestly, I was excited for the toppings but I think I made a poor combination because I didn't like my veggie burger very much. I'm all for making food the way you want it but sometimes there is a lot to be said for offering toppings that works together on a suggested menu. I actually left with a horrid taste in my mouth and had to stop on the way home for something to cleanse my palate. The buns were nice and the produce were fresh which were good. I didn't get a good sense on if I like the veggie patty specifically (I can be picky) because I was too focused on the weird flavor mingling. As a vegetarian, I don't have a lot of opportunity to order poutine so I liked that they have a veggie max poutine (cheese sauce, sour cream, green onions and tomatoes). I wasn't a big fan - I would have preferred cheese sauce on fries but if I was making substitutions I'd sub in other fries and a cheesier sauce. I'd pass on these in another trip. My fiance says the traditional poutine was too sweet and likely won't get that again either as he likes it very savory. All and all, I didn't have the best meal here but I'm willing to give it another go. This time round I'll be more conservative with my topping combination and skip the poutine. Next time I think I'll go for a milk shake because those looked good! read more

SSBRGRCO (as written on the street level sign) is in the Beacon Hill Shopping Centre and opened last week Thursday. I caught wind of it and took a drive over. Good food is always worth the trek, if you ask me. The space is wide open, bright, modern and clean (as it should be). I really like the variety of burger toppings (i.e. garlic mayo, honey mustard, gourmet relish, hot peppers), the big and fluffy wheat buns and the fact that you can choose the size of your beef burger or have a chicken or veggie burger if you want. I tried the veggie burger (it's soy based) and with my limited experience, they all taste the same. Nonetheless, this burger was good and sizeable. For those who like Tabasco sauce, you can help yourself. They serve NY Fries and poutine, but also offer onion rings and salad as sides. I'm most excited about their hand-scooped ice cream milkshakes, which I'll get around to trying another day. Taxes in, my burger alone was $6.04. Not cheap, but worth it for a fairly healthy meal as I was modest with the toppings. Cheese (such as Cheddar, Swiss, Goat and Blue) and bacon are at an extra cost and combo prices seem reasonable. They grill burgers on the spot so it's not super fast, but overall I think it's one of the better choices for a fast food establishment. read more

South Street Burger is one of my favourite low/mid-end burger joints in the city with delicious burgers and a relaxed feel. AMBIENCE/SERVICE: Order fast-food style over-the-counter, wait for your burger to be made with your favourite toppings. Quite a large seating area with a couple flat-screens. Kept pretty clean too. Nothing special to say about the front-counter workers. 2/2.5 FOOD: Had the a 4 oz True North ($6.85) and a 4 oz Mushroom & Swiss ($6.85), both of which I really enjoyed. Buns and beef were ok but the on-point sauces and fresh toppings stole the show. They also offer New York Fries poutine and fries as well as ice cream and milkshakes so they definitely have something for everyone. 2/2.5 read more

Very yummy food. It is a bit expensive but the food is worth the price. The restaurant has a casual relaxing feel. It's is clean and well maintained. A great selection of veggies and sauces. Also offer healthy selections too which are good too. It is nice to have the option for a beer with your dinner to. The service is good. Pleasant and responsible staff. My Mom is Coeliac and finds their menu to be good for her gluten free options too. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Good food, but service is very slow. While the staff is very friendly and caring, they could use more training in efficiency. Also, one person was making hamburgers while holding an iPad in their other hand. Even if he was holding it with a glove, it's still very unsanitary. There is no consistency in the way they take orders and make the burgers. Plan ahead because it will take about 30 minutes before you get your food from the time you've ordered on peak times. Also verify your takeout orders before leaving, I was given the wrong order. read more

Had a great experience here. The burgers were made perfectly, tasted great and the onion rings and fries were excellent as well. The service was excellent for a burger chain. They asked us if we wanted garlic mayo with our fries and they brought some over when we told them we wanted it. On our way out they tapped the handicap button to open the door to let us out. Overall a great experience for a South St. Burger. TLDR; food was great and service was excellent for a burger joint. read more

So.. all these guys have done is put some fancy toppings on a frozen burger patty and over charge you for some beer.. not good Probably never going to this chain again. read more

It was my 1st tym to visit at south st burger at 130 ave. This restaurant made my day... accomplish my burger craving!.. it so delicious!.. read more

South St Burger - " I really love it! ... - Burgers Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

See all

Two words: raw hamburger. Yes that's right, not pink, but raw meat. That's what we discovered when we got our very overpriced hamburgers home - raw. We shall never eat here again, sorry there are far too many other choices for good hamburgers that are not far from this location and they know how to cook the meat properly. (Ex. Five Guys). read more

I had a coupon for a 2-for-1 burger & poutine here, so the bf and I decided to drive over and check it out. I've eaten here a few times at the Cross Iron location, so I was excited that they opened one in Beacon Hill (closer to home). I love that New York Fries are served here, and how you can customize your sandwich to your liking! So many options, it was hard to decide. We settled on two bacon & cheese burgers with poutines. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal. It's definitely not the BEST burger I've had, by any means...but it satisfied us for the evening. My only gripe is the price - even with our 2-for-1 coupons, our total still came out to almost $20. A bit steep in my opinion for fast food. Next time I think i'll try the chicken! read more

We really enjoyed our meal and the staff was wonderful. Their attention to gluten free needs really was appreciated. Definitely recommend.

Great burgers. I love the healthy topings you can chose. It's set up like Harveys. I go here quite a bit. If your looking for a burger, this might be your place. read more

I always want to like this place, but never leave here satisfied - in an overall sense that is. Perhaps its the price ( Just poutine and a soft drink is close to 8 bucks), or it could be the veggie burger - not the best, or it could be the decor - its got a big empty feel inside, either way - I am not a huge fan. I would give it 2 stars but that wouldnt be fair as the quality of the food is ok, and the staff are friendly enough. If you like Poutine - this is the fast food version of Poutine - there are better places out there and for better value- Try the Big Cheese on 17th. The burger itself ( veggie ) is made up in front of you with a selection of toppings from their topping bar - and they have a lot to choose from - but the veggie patty itself ia not that good, and the bun is oversized and too much. The staff are efficient - but the restaurant lacks warmth. Some may like it, but after having been a couple of times, I wont go back. read more

South St. has delicious burgers, so if you want one do yourself a favour and go to the Cross Iron one. I ordered the Hawaiian burger, asked for sour cream, the lady didn't put any on my burger and was overall very abrupt and rude. She was in a perpetual state of rush and didn't care to enunciate at all, I just gave up trying to pick condiments because she was so rude. As for the burger itself, 2/10 - I didn't ask for ketchup or mustard but she put both on there. Never get fries from this location because they are tasteless and a waste of money - absolutely no flavour, no salt. You're better off picking up a potato from superstore for a few cents and eating it raw like an apple. read more

Amazing burgers. A little pricey, but well worth it. Ingredients are fresh, burgers made when you order - no heat lamps here!

As a celiac, WOW! I realize it's basically a fast food burger joint but I was impressed with their cross-contamination practices. I walked in and said "I'm a celiac!" And the guy behind the counter responded with "ok no gluten." He them informed his coworker who changed his gloves and ONLY touched my food until my order was complete. I was given a little condiment menu for the separate gluten free condiments and a separate tray from my date. It was busy but he still payed attention to only my dish. I did feel bad for the growing line behind me but there were other staff to look a after them. I've never felt so safe eating out! I highly recommend any celiac try this location. read more

The last time we went here there was a HUGE lineup. To get ahead of the line, an employee was taking orders and handing them to the cashier. Unfortunately some members of the staff barely speak english so the order got mis-translated and the two burgers we ordered became 4 burgers at the till. The cashier took of the 4 burgers, added one but failed to add the second burger. After only receiving one burger, we went back up to the till. Instead of getting another burger on the fast track so we could eat together, we are prompted to pay for the remaining burger and wait in the huge lineup while the first burger gets cold. BAD SERVICE!!!!!!! I went to complain to the manager but there was none on that day. Not going back. Five Guys are pretty close to this location and they make a superior burger. read more

This place is ok. Nothing special for the price. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't something I would go out of my way for like Peters Drive In or Smash Burger. read more

I've now eaten here twice. The burger was phenomenal with fresh toppings, and interesting sauce. Fries with really well made gravy. Today had the chicken breast on lettuce as a bun (great option for those who are eating lower carb). It was spectacular. Best fast food chicken breast I've had hands down. Ate it with guac, cheese and pico de gallo. Very tasty. Highly reccomend. read more

It's a good and tasty burger place.. I tried both the meat and the veggie one. It could be a bit more friendly

If you enjoy greasy food, then this is the place for you. My wife's favourite meal is a hamburger. The meal we had did not meet her great expectations. The soft drinks do not come with a refill and are waaaay overpriced. Now we can say we have been the - Never to return. read more

this place offers a lot of choices.they got everything,from the burger,sides and beers as well! with a good ambience to dine in and staff are friendly. read more

Great staff! My wife has a number of allergies. She asked for guacamole on the side. The manager got it from a container in the fridge to avoid cross contamination. It was very considerate. read more

Had the 6 oz burger here. It tasted alright. In fact, they are a bit slow at preparing my burger and then bring it out to me at the table. By then the burger got cold and lost its appeal. So they dont get points for prompt service and that's why they are not a drive through burger service. Eat here if you have time. Prices are a bit expensive too. read more

We tried the vege burger with mango chutney and various sauces it was treat. They something for everyone.

Adequate food and the cashier was nice. I was having a treat by going to the restaurant. I ordered the True North combo (~$12.50) which I had last year at Cross Iron Mills location (and it was awesome there). This time it was... adequate. I brought it back up to the counter because I thought they made a mistake with the burger - it turns out it was the correct burger (note: if a 4oz burger patty can hide the bacon, you might need more bacon). The cheese was a half slice of real cheddar (I think). The grill cook brushed me off when it appeared to be the correct (anemic) burger. Her right to do I guess, but I docked a star for the poor customer service. Apparently my burger was harder to make as others that were in line after me, were seated and eating before I got mine (not sure why). The restaurant was pretty steady, so I doubt this review will make any difference to them, but I would recommend spending your hard earned money somewhere else. I won't be back, and I will be choosing to spend my family's restaurant dollars at a different business. I have *never* been disappointed at Smashburger (for the same price, better food and service). Even the McDonald's Angus burger would have been a better use of my money. So to summarize, adequate but there are much better values out there. read more
