    Baconator & Rocket Fries
    Angeline T.

    Burgernator (269 Augusta Ave - Kensington Market) Baconator Burger - this bad boy comes with two 4oz beef patties, beef bacon & some Garlic Aioli sauce! Rocket Fries: Homemade fries with Jerk sauce, homemade gravy, garlic aioli & cheddar! I like that it was drowning in all kinds of sauces that somehow work so well together The Bazooka Jr. - I love a fried egg on my burger, comes with a beef patty, sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, tomato, lettuce & their Burgernator sauce If you're ever in Kensington Market, definitely check out Burgernator!

    The bulldozer
    Kathy V.

    Burgernator is conveniently located in Kensington market, one of my fave places to browse for new eats and unique shopping goods. Burgernator was one of my first tries at gourmet burgers and now that I've had a lot more under my belt, I don't feel like the burgers here are memorable or stand out to me. I ordered the meat burger, the bulldozer, while my friend ordered the veggie burger, ak-veggie 7. The bulldozer is a lean lamb patty burger topped with havarti cheese, fresh mango salsa, sautéed jalapeños, and chipotle aioli. The Ak-veggie 7 is a vegan patty burger topped with sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, homemade guacamole, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Unfortunately, although the toppings sounded delicious on paper, the burgers themselves tasted underwhelming. They were decent burgers but the patties weren't as juicy and the toppings did not add as much flavour as anticipated. I don't think it hurts to try Burgernator as a burger lover because as I said, the burgers are decent, but I don't think I'd be down to give it another go given how average my first experience was and how many other amazing burger places there are.

    Atomic Burger and Poutine
    Steve F.

    Maybe it's because I've been on a plane all day, maybe because I haven't eaten anything in 8hrs, maybe it's because this is the first time in 5 years that I've been in Canada...or maybe it's just REALLY F-ING GOOD!! The restaurant was pretty quiet, but has a nice aesthetic, and is roomy, and the gal at the counter was very helpful, friendly and professional. Is it the best poutine ever? Hard to say, I make a mean Montreal poutine at home (in Arizona) that's an old family recipe, but it blew my stack tonight!! The burger was amazing too! The deep fried cheese on the smashed patty was fantastic. I probably ate too much, but given the chance I'd do it all over again!! Come. Eat. Enjoy. Repeat!

    Large restaurant with lots of burger options. Came in for a quick snack and got the General Poutine. Heavy on the gravy, but came out hot and delicious!

    Late Night dinner craving of delicious juicy burgers too get protein though chicken as well beef & carbohydrates through bun and definitely fats as being deep fried but acceptable in a cheat day Having said that "The Burgernator" is one of the best Burger places in GTA & more importantly it's "Halal" which is hand down the best option!

    The burgers here are good. It's a pity that there are too many delicious burger restaurants out there in Toronto that makes this store normal. If you just take a walk in Kensington market, you can have a decent lunch here. However, if you're a tourist and may only come to Kensington market for once in your life, I suggest you can go to other more significant stores.

    I had the captain jerk burger (pineapple and jerk sauce) and it was lazily thrown together with jerk sauce spilling off the side. I couldn't take a bite of it as a sandwich and had to deconstruct it. The patty was fine. Not as juicy as they claim and also no way it was 6oz. I think they gave me the 4oz patty. Also someone else ordered the same thing and then theirs came out the top gun was open and they carefully drizzled the jerk sauce in a nice pattern on top. By mine was thrown together by a toddler. Not goof consistency. I do like how open then place is though and the atmosphere is chill and there are plants by the windows. And the prices are good but I wouldn't come back.

    Got the Burgernator (3 beef patties between grilled cheese sandwiches). The patties were tasty & juicy enough, though a bit overcooked. The grilled cheese sandwiches were rather dry. The toppings were OK. Be aware that the bacon here is beef bacon (maybe that's why the Burgernator - billed as their monster burger after all - didn't have any). Onion rings were decent but a small portion. Chili cheese fries had a lot of beef in the chili, and the chili was pretty good. The ATM is oddly located - on the basement level outside the washrooms.

    The bulldozer with beef patty
    Howraa A.

    Man these burgers are seriously out of this world! Next level delicious I tell you.....only reason I'm giving 3 starts is because the waitress was not very privy to customer service. I ordered the bulldozer with beef patty! I really think that the burgers are phenomenal because they use halal meat - unbeatable. I would def come again but hope to be greeted with better customer service.

    Atomic burger and poutine fries

    Really disappointing. Had the atomic burger. Overcooked and flavorless beef. The mozzarella had a nice crunch but otherwise flavorless. "Sun dried tomato aioli" was just watery mayo. No flavor, definitely no sun dried tomato flavor. Also had the poutine, which was the biggest disappointment. The fries were very overcooked and also cooked in old/dirty oil. They had that "burnt oil" smell, texture, and flavor. Soggy and gross. Just all around disappointing.

    The Explosion - Deep Fried Mars Bar
    Matthew H.

    Been here a couple of times and love the experience. Located in a very trendy district there are options as you walk down the street, but this is definitely a rear experience to try. One of my favourite burgers is the Seven - how can you go wrong with a deep fried 6oz crusted chunk of cheese on top of your burger??? And the burgurnator poutine is a pretty cool option. Not my favourite, but If you are in that type of mood, it's pretty tasty. Fries and onion rings are freshly battered and very well seasoned. But make sure you save room for dessert!!! Try the deep fried mars bar. Very cheap and awesome with ice cream, chocolate drizzle and whipped cream!!! Heaven!!!!

    Resistance sandwich and sweet potato fries
    Michael R.

    Good burger and chicken sandwich! Great spot in the kensington market area. We ordered the atomic burger and resistance chicken sandwich which were both good for lunch. We also got a side of sweet potato fries which were okay but not great. Overall if you are in the area and want a good burger with lots of different options I would recommend this place.

    Delicious and juicy!
    Cameron M.

    I love a good halal burger spot! The burgers are delicious and selection is good! I think I've had at least 5 different kinds, and will continue to make my way down the list! The burgers are juicy and cooked really well. I'm just not a fan of crispy fries.

The I Heart Butter Tart Concrete ($6.49) that I ordered was a little too much for myself. I did decide to go through and finish the ice cream / sundae just so I don't have anything to go. The interior of the place was properly though out and well designed. Self order stations are available to order from and the ordering interface is one of the better systems I have seen. When I dined in early afternoon on a weekday it was a rather slow day. There were a couple of Shake Shack employees constantly roaming about the premises ready to attend to any customer request. 1 such employee was thoughtful enough to serve me and a group of other customers some water. I have mixed feelings about the bathroom setup. Yes, it is clean and there were a few toilet rooms available, but it requires a code to be entered prior to using. The door screen shows as vacant but an employee still needs to give out the 4 digit code needed to access the toilets. I also found some issues with the water faucet sensors. It is inconsistently picking up my gestures resulting in an unreliable and unsteady flow of running water when I was washing my hands.

    This may be toted as just another burger place spot but it is far from your average joint…read more I had lunch here recently and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The service was friendly and patient as I was greeted upon entry and took my time perusing the menu. The restaurant was very clean and organized, not a lot of stuff on the walls and the bathrooms were in top shape which I appreciated. I ordered the classic double burger, with a side a fries and a cane cola. The burger was delicious! Toppings were fresh and tasty, and it made a mess with the sauces and condiments which is a sign of a great burger. It wasn't overly huge, a good size for my hands and they did get messy as I devoured this scrumptious burger. The Cane Cola was a nice accompaniment to try for the first time but not necessary to enjoy the burger. The fries were golden and crispy and quite a large portion for the price. I just wished the fry lengths were a bit longer as I received a lot of tiny pieces instead of longer potatoes which meant I was scooping them up in my hand to eat them. Not a dealbreaker, just an annoyance. The wait for the food wasn't very long, about 5-8 minutes and they brought the order to the table. I really enjoyed the burger and fries making this NOT just another burger spot but MTTBS = Must try this burger spot!

Went on Monday afternoon as I was on my regular driving route and ordered the crispy chicken burger. It came out looking smashing as they use a complete chicken breast, really juicy and the taste is pretty good other than it was a bit salty. The only gripe I had was the shoestring fries, I would have much preferred fresh straight cut fries.
