Service is outstanding, my favourite burgers and fries in the beach area the owner and his wife are the nicest people you can imagine

A delicious and savory burger. No skimping on toppings at this burger place. Id find it difficult to find a better place in the beach, a true neighborhood gem. Must try? The poutine is cheesy squeeky and gravy soaked. The banquet burger is amazeballz and the owner is a great guy. 10 outta 10 every day. read more

Bulging with flavor!!!!!! Today I was craving a good old fashioned burger with my friend and noticed this little place on queen in the beaches! I got the feta fries and the cluck classic burger. When I tell you burger was filled with all the flavor I am not lying! The feta fries were so good I don't even remember eating them! You get a good amount of cheese and a Greek dressing on top of them. 10/10 across the board! If you're in the area for-sure check them out! read more

The Bulging Burger - a hand holding a sandwich on the beach - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

A family-run business with satisfyingly messy burgers, thick shakes, a few beers, and the best damn fries in the beach. The decor isn't much, but who cares? They're lovely people, and the food is good and reasonably priced. A rare find in the beach, and I say that as a local. Check opening hours before going, because family-run places aren't open every day. read more

Eat here and get your burger fix now Really enjoyed this place and the owners comes from Greek roots, hence the Greek flare ;) Everything is reasonably priced, super fresh and down to earth. I got the bulging burger and wife got the moo moo The bulging burger rules ! It's like their version of the big Mac on steroids with 2 patties and 3 buns. Moo moo was super cheesy, but having had both, would go with the bulging, but that's just me. Patties were crumbly and moist and the buns were just the right texture. Fresh lettuce, tomatoes and mayo made the burger amazing Fries were fresh and crispy and onion rings was quite a sizeable portion. Simple fresh burgers at its best. Will 100% be back read more

The Bulging Burger - Shown is the bulging burger, fries and onion rings - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Had a great trio of burgers for the kids and I tonight .. Onion rings were plentiful, sleeves were rolled up, and we loved every bite !! Well done, we'll be back for more :) read more

Small neighborhood burger joint from the outside, and that's exactly what it is and what makes it awesome! I think the gentleman at the counter was the owner. Super friendly and genuinely polite and helpful with the menu, he makes you feel welcome when you walk in. Place wasn't busy but that's not a bad thing. It was a midweek evening and it's a quiet neighborhood. Sometimes this causes slower service, not here. I order the double burger that resembles a Big Mac and some onion rings along with it. I ask if the rings are battered and the guy is honest and says they dont make it there but yes, they're battered. Friend orders club with fries. The burger is tasty. Its not the best burger I've ever had but it's very good and I would definitely go back and have again. Those aforementioned onion rings are exactly what I was looking for. The fries are shoestring and crisped to perfection. No pushy sales here. Owner served us the food asking if it was okay to hand it to us through the take out style window and although this place is set up like a take out counter with tables, there was no rush to pay right away which is appreciated. If you're around the neighborhood and looking for a quick friendly bite before a movie or just because, definitely check this place out! read more

Popped into this joint after visiting the beach with my family (5 of us) and the food was amazing. We had many burgers, feta fries, poutine, and onion rings. I highly recommend the Smokey and the Pig burger and the feta fries. We are all bulging with happiness!!! read more

The perfect neighbourhood burger spot. Sitting on the east end of the Beaches The Bulging Burger seems to be a family restaurant that uses really fresh ingredients to make mouthwatering food. We both got 1/4 lb burgers ($6 each) that we could load with all the toppings we wanted. Sautéed onions for free is a great plus as well. We also got the feta fries that used fresh potatoes that had just the right amount of crisp. We will definitely be back. read more

SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES! I feel like this place would have way more business if it was a bit further up the street. The atmosphere definitely gives off a family vibe without being too compact. There is plenty of seating although I was only 1 of 2 people there. I went with the MooMoo burger which was delicious if not a bit too saucy. The burgers are ground in house each day and you can definitely tell because of the great homemade flavor. I chose poutine as my side but could have done without it, I believe it would be much better with less gravy. They do take call in orders which is great for those that are busy.All in all this is a great spot on a quiet corner that should have way more customers. read more

The problem with the Toronto food scene is that there are too many chains serving overly processed food with additives and unknown mystery ingredients and not enough 'mom & pops' that take great pride into their product. This is one of those places. They stick to a small menu and from what I can tell so far...they do it well and they care that you like their food. The place has only been open a few weeks and I wandered in after a very long bike ride...famished. I ordered the moo burger(?) which had cheese, onions, lettuce, tomato, and two fresh ground beef patties. Yes, ground on the premises. Who does that anymore? This makes a difference. I also had a side of fries which were AWESOME! Fresh cut julienne fries that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Have it with vinegar and a little salt. Everything was fresh and delicious. The beef patties were so fresh that it did not need anymore seasoning. If they do put seasoning then they don't over do it. Nothing worse than an over seasoned meal. The place is small with maybe place for about 20 people, it is clean, and the owners are friendly and want to do a good job. I will be back the next time I am in the Beaches area on Queen St. E. Rated 5/5 for the fresh ingredients, good preparation, and beef patties ground in the restaurant. read more

The Bulging Burger - Moo burger fries and a coke. - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The Bulging Burger is a nondescript burger joint on the south side of town. Located just steps from Lake Ontario on Queen Street, serving up delicious meat patties and fries is definitely their specialty. Must-try item: Moo Moo & Cheese Burger The Moo Moo & Cheese is absolutely delicious and priced nicely at just under $10. I thoroughly enjoyed the poutine and would come back here at least once in a while. The Beach neighborhood is home to this hidden gem, so taking a stroll down the boardwalk to burn off the calories is always an option. read more

This place isn't far from home but a direction I rarely go. So happy that tonight we biked over for what was an awesome burger! I will be heading East much more frequently. We both had the Bulging Burger and shared a order of fries. All of it was great. The owner is very friendly and the place was spotless. Can't wait to try his milkshakes!!!! read more

We had the burgers April 11, 2015. They were ok. Probably the best burgers on Queen east of Hero Burger. I had a few pieces of hard gristle in my burger which was off putting. I found the buns to be toasted too much which made me think that maybe they were a bit stale? The veggies on the burger were very fresh. Would I prefer this place over Burgers Priest, or No Bull Burger or Five Guys? Probably not. But if I was in that area and looking for a burger I'd definitely go again. read more

Little small family joint. Staff seem friendly, I went with their signature The Bulging Burger, onion rings and chocolate shake. The onion rings were pretty good, the burger was massive got the price and really juicy. Over all a good meal. It's just milk shake that disappointed me. read more

The Bulging Burger - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I'm very impressed. Excellent tasting burgers. I have driven all over the GTA trying burgers for the last few years and this place is one of the best. A very friendly family run operation. I highly recommend everyone give them a try. read more

A great simple burger. They don't try to over do it. Prices for the simple burger is good value. Prices increase rapidly with the other specially named burgers. Stick to the simple one and load up the toppings. Greek fries get honorable mention. read more

This place is a hidden gem in the east end beaches. I've been probably 3-4 times since they've opened (less than a year I believe). I've had the Moo Moo with cheese and the Smokey and the Pig. If you enjoy fresh, juicy, ground on the premises beef this is your place. The fries are julienne cut and spiced to perfection. Attention burger lovers, check this place out. read more

Really great burgers and more recently had some french fries and poutine. Great comfort food and reasonably priced menu items. A little further down the beach but worth a trip for a good patty!!! read more

Damn, that was one fine burger!!! And the shakes and rings were great too. New fav burger joint in the beach !!!

This is one of the best burgers in town. Juicy, fresh smash patties perfectly cooked, with generous amounts of smokey bacon and fresh toppings. Much better than Burger's Priest (which I also like a lot). They also do a really excellent poutine. The people who run this place are also super friendly and polite. Highly recommend. read more

The unsung burger hero of the neighbourhood. Rarely busy because for some reason no one knows about this place. Burger patties are made fresh and to order so if you're looking for your order to be ready in less than a minute then don't bother. I prefer onion rings over fries however these are standard garden variety so would highly recommend the fries over the rings. Although I asked if they use 'real cheese' versus the cheese slice, I was disappointed to find out that it was a plastic cheese slice which is a definite no-no for me......however if you don't mind go for it. If you option for bacon you'll get two full crispy slices. Lots of free toppings to choose from. 2 burgers (with cheese and bacon); 1 fries, 1 onion rings (of which there are plenty of both....no scrimping on serving size at all) and 1 can of pop was $27.86 including tax. If you want to avoid the crowds elsewhere on the strip, then head here. read more

My absolute favourite veggie burger. Amazing shakes as well, super thick and flavourful. Such nice owners.

I asked my mom: "how many stars shall we give him?" And she said, enthusiastically, " Five!" - this is my third burger here and my family's first (they were visiting from the east coast). Highly recommend ANY burger ! read more

Went here yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. I only had the cheeseburger and my boyfriend had a double hamburger but they were delish! We also had fries and gravy and onion rings. Everything hit the spot. The cook did everything but he was very very nice! Take our order, make/cook the food so it took a bit of time to get our order but it was worth it. Will definitely come back! read more

I love poutine! I keep going back and ordering their poutine so they must be doing something right!

Tried the veggie burger twice already...sorry I haven't gone in earlier. It's hard to find a decent veggie burger but this place has hit the nail on the head. the onion rings are to die for. Very friendly, family oriented atmosphere. read more

Me and my partner love Bulging Burger and it has fast become our go to place in The Beach for burgers! Extremely friendly staff and great eats - you can't go wrong! We have visited at least 8 times now and I always order the Greek burger which has feta and their homemade tzatziki on it - the sauce is great and really packs a punch! My partner usually gets the moo moo with cheese or the bulging burger. The beef is fresh and simple, it tastes very homemade and unprocessed. Nothing over powering for seasoning on the meat except some salt and pepper and I like that because after you add on the flavorful toppings it makes for a really well balanced burger. Good bun to meat ratio, it is always juicy and I have not been disappointed once in the times we have been! We also always each get a poutine or the feta fries with the tzatziki added. I don't love the fries as much as some other burger joints because I find them a bit thin and wish they had a bit more potato to hold up to the toppings on them.. but they are still fries so they will get eaten! The Poutine is good, lots of cheese and the gravy is dark which I like. The Greek fries have a generous amount of feta on them and I prefer them to the poutine personally. We typically finish the burgers and then take the remaining fries home for later as it is quite a large serving. My partner has also had the onion rings which he said were amazing. We always dine in and there are a few small tables with some great window seats. After ordering the food typically takes about ten minutes to be prepared, so if you're hungry you won't have to wait long. It typically costs me and my partner around thirty dollars with drinks and food. For the homemade quality and the generous quantity, I think the price point is well matched. They also have some wine and beer as well, but note that it's only a small offering with just a few choices. Overall this is a really great family run place. We are never disappointed, always leave happy and will continue to visit at least once a month. Absolutely recommend! read more

Great food here. Burgers (including the veggie burger) are good. My favourite thing though, has to be the feta fries. I will come for those alone sometimes!! Great portions too read more

Everything was so delicious and fresh. I am so full! Great prices. Nutella shake should be illegal! My chicken club was so tender and tasty. My husbands double bacon cheese burger was as good as we make them! The onions rings are thick and tasty and the fresh cut fries did not disappoint. We finally found our local burger joint! Service was excellent too. Fast, friendly and fabulously delicious food. We loved sitting at the window dog watching in this not so crowded part of the Beach. See you again soon. read more

I had the pleasure of working across the road from this restaurant for 5 years. Prior to it being burgers and fries, it was a Greek restaurant (operated by the same family). Both were excellent, everything is fresh, homemade and they are always FAST. My favourite burger was always the tzatziki burger, the Greek salad is always a home run (simple but good). This is a family operated restaurant - husband and wife duo, along with his mom. They are always warm and welcoming. If you are ever in this part of the beach (or even if your not!), definitely check this place out. read more

Great burgs (both the beef and veggie). Good value. They have a few tables and do takeout. Small but the place is always clean.

The price point was great - $8 for a bacon cheeseburger with whatever toppings you want. I wanted to love the burgers from this place but it was just ok. The burger could have used some seasoning as it lacked flavour. The onion rings were pretty doughy. I would rather have a No Bull Burger on Kingston Rd. read more

Quiet little spot on Queen East at the beaches The Bulging Burger is probably the best burget joint in the area. Wasn't expecting this place to wow me but it was prett amazing. Not my favorite burger joint but definitely worth the price. read more

My favorite burger in the city! I had a cheeseburger and absolutely loved it!!! Reasonably priced and I'm looking forward to trying the poutine next time! read more

I drove to this restaurant after they told me they would be open until 9. At 8:25 when I got to the door they had locked it. The staff looked at me through the door and ignored me. I called to see what happened and they hung up on me. Unfortunately the food may sound good but no customer service. Sad to see a business start off this way after opening. read more
