Taste of Heaven
Alaleh P.

Right in the heart of Oakvill downtown, they have a great variety of burgers on their menu that suit everyone's taste. You can get lost in the menu for hours, if not careful. LOL After changing our mind many times, we finally ordered "Gettin' Piggy with it" and "Taste of Heaven with added Avocado". The meat was a bit overcooked for my taste; other than that, the food tasted good. The staff were friendly and executing their COVID-19 plans well.

Burnt Fresh Ground Beef and Brown Black Chicken

Not sure what happened today. We are Regulars at this location and never post reviews but today we had bad experience. It wasn't busy but it took an hour for the food to come. Juicy Lucy Plain Wagyu Chicken Breast Burgers burnt and Chicken was brown inside. The burnt taste in mouth was like chewing medicine! Server was nice but what the heck is going on in the kitchen!!!

"Bacon you fancy huh" burger!

Alright! Killer burgers, bottomless fries, bottomless pop...not bad! I came here on a Saturday morning around 11:30 am. It's quite nice, there's plenty of seating inside and outside. Lots of spacious booths! The menu is big! There is a lot of choice, and they offer some interesting burger options, such as kobe-style wangyu beef, or elk meat. I ordered the "Bacon you fancy, huh", with the wangyu beef burger, which had aged white cheddar, arugala, maple bacon, bacon roasted tomatoes, and mayo. Great balance of ingredients, everything was really flavorful, and the bacon was not soggy and the patty was a beautifully cooked. All this with a side of fries. The fries were also spot on. After I finished, I ordered another side of fries, which came with a more generous serving than the side that came with the burger. I will say that the service was a little bit slow, but that may be because we came before their peak hours and there was only one server. P.s You have to take the stairs down to the washroom. The floor of the washroom was so slippery that I almost fell! I guess that's both a pro and a con!

My colleague, Steve, and I had lunch today at The WORKS. We both got a pop and it comes in a big measuring cup. The pepper and salt shakers are cute. Soooooooo many burgers to choose from! Steve and I both ordered a Bacon You Fancy Huh? burger combo. It's part of the Baconism III promotion so we got to fill out a ballot to win free burgers for a year (fingers crossed!). Steve got his with chips. I got mine with fries and side of gravy. It was a good burger (I got mine without the arugula) and I ate it all. It was tender and tasty. The bacon on the burger was huge and sweet. It was a big meal so I just had a few of the fries since I'd focused on the burger. The gravy had an odd taste and I wasn't too fussy for it. Sydney was our server. She was friendly, chatty and took good care of us. It's my first time at one of The WORKS restaurants and I'll be sure to check them out again!

Just came here on a sunday night with my boyfriend. First time at the works because we got coupon in the mail and decided to try it out. The atmosphere: casual and rustic looking, we liked it for a burger place very suitable. The food: we had the stuffed lucy (amazing) the barking on the cows or something (messy, huge and really tasty), side orders were sweet potato fries (good-nothing out of the ordinary) and onion rings (amazing!!) Speed of food and service: Ordered and got everything in 15 mins which is great. Got water ASAP. Got seated and menus ASAP. The service: This is where it really made this place 5 stars. Our waiter was a young man with blonde down the middle of his hair (if the manager is reading this give this guy a HUGE pat on the back because he is what made this from a 4 star to a 5 star) He was very quick with everything but not impatient, he answered all our questions and explained the menu and coupon, he walked around our area every 5-10 mins but didn't ask us "is everything ok" every single time which is very annoying that a lot of other places do he just observed if everything was ok and used his brain basically. I've been to some 5 star restaurants downtown and this guy was better in my opinion. AND he had like 5 other tables which 4 of them were groups. I will def. tell my other friends to come and we will come again. Purely on the customer service alone.

Super awesome menu!

The Works is pretty awesome. I happened to come by on Halloween, and the entire place was decorated with cobwebs and caution tape. The waiters were all in Halloween costumes too- so cute! The menu offers up so many choices your head may start to hurt. You can customize what kind of bun, patty and side that you would like to eat. If you ask for water, they give you large measuring cups that contains 2 cups / 500 mL, which is great because I drink an insane amount of water whenever I eat. We got Tom Green (gouda cheese, beechhouse sauce, bacon, avocado) and a kid's size Strawberry Shake (8 ounces). The side was the Spicy Bold Slaw, which tasted pretty gross so I'd recommend not getting it. I quite like their burgers! The patty is nice and juicy, and "made from 100% Canadian beef" (taken from their website). You drizzle in as much ketchup and/or mustard as you like. The combinations are fun and it's a very family-friendly restaurant. The milkshakes are quite frothy and delicious, but also very sweet, so if you don't really have a sweet tooth you should get the kid's size and not the regular, which is 16 ounces or 2 cups. The burger came a little slow but it was during lunch time, so The Works had a lot of customers at the time. If I'm ever in the area again I would definitely come back to try out some of their other stuff. I respect that they use purely Canadian beef instead of some mash-up of mystery meat.

The "sk8r boy" (peanut butter and bacon) with a side of kd! Safe to say I don't know how to make healthy decisions.

i want to not love The Works. BUT I DO AND I CAN'T HELP IT! The Works is a chain. There are a few locations but this one is the most convenient for me, so I find myself here more often than I'm proud of. Since overhauling their menu, there are fewer burger choices (there were WAY too many before) and as well, some non-burger options (I don't know why anyone wouldn't get a burger if they're at a burger place). What's so great about this place? Lots of options and customizations! There are lots of patty choices, beef, elk, veggie, chicken, turkey, etc., lots of bun choices, including gluten free, and lots of side choices, including KRAFT DINNER (legit KD!), salads, and their spicy die-cut chips which are fantastic. This place is actually completely gluten-free-friendly, the only thing that has gluten on the menu (I believe) is the KD. Some burger favorites: Gotta Be KD - that's right, KD in melted cheddar on the burger! Sk8r Boy (I think?) - PB and Bacon on a burger! Down Under - beets and egg!! Drink wise, they have excellent shakes and delicious Caesars, as well as decent beer list. This location is always busy, but it's a big place so we haven't had to wait. Oh, and they do take out! So you can avoid the shame of being there too often by popping by the takeout window. Good thinking The Works.

Poutini martini
Lee M.

It's National Burger Day today, seriously. So we are celebrating in style. Ordered juicy lucy and a poutini martini and a root beer float. Go hard or go home. The poutini martini was soooo good. Crispy onion rings on top of poutine. So addictive!! Burger was good although a bit dry and I see it's a common experience based on other Yelp reviews. The root beer float was great. Service was friendly and the place was busy at 9pm. The challenge is the kitchen is really slow so be prepared to wait for your food. Next time I have a craving I'm coming back for more poutine!!

Dead Ringer gourmet burger, Ex-Montrealer poutine, and Orea Cookie Milkshake.

Chicken burger with 2 tenders was huge. Filled with a large amount of chicken, tasted great. I…read morewould give it a 10. I liked a lot of things about it and there was nothing I didn't like particularly other than maybe the bottom bun was a little soggy. Kale slaw was an outrageous ripoff. $ 2.29 for a container that was way too small and they only filled it halfway. Picture shows overfill container of purple 'kaleslaw' you get itty bitty container of normal coleslaw mostly, half full. Tasted pretty good. 1 / 10. Burger just didn't taste that good. Meat seemed OK, sauce didn't taste right. Soggy buns, untoasted, just not that great. Wendys is way better. 6/10?. Paid a dollar for garlic aioli. Terrible. Tasted like miracle whip, sweet and nothing like garlic. I expect garlic aioli to taste like garlic. Very small container. Their steak sandwich looks great. Maybe stick to that and the chicken and you'll do alright.

Not my first time @ Gladiator, but it was my first at this specific location (Oakville)…read more Spacious location, with lots of seating and ample parking. Tried some different items from the menu this time, and though I love the burgers and steak sandwiches (the better option over burgers IMO), this time I found the beef to be a little salty (it could be because of the cheese and other ingredients that have salt + the salt added in the patty itself) and the chicken tenders too bland. I also tried "Unleash my Hunger" which was amazing (with the mozzarella!). I have tried the pancake burger as well and loved the addition of guacamole. For the chicken tenders, when eaten with a burger, you won't be able to distinguish the taste since there's a lot of sauce inside the burger. However, when you eat the tender by itself, then you can taste the difference. Regardless, I still really enjoyed the tenders. The sweet potato fries and the onion rings were good. The milkshakes are also good, though the strawberry was a little sweet for me. I love the selection and the amount of variety in the burgers. I liked the addition of jalapeño poppers. There is a lot of different types of burgers and sandwiches to choose from, including a mix of beef and chicken in the sandwich. I also like that there's many side options. Would I go back? Yes. Owners and staff were friendly as well.

I opted for the sweet potato fries which I found a little undercooked but otherwise still good. The tenders and the sauce was very delicious and I'd come by again to try more. I've also heard that their burgers are good. Good portion for the tenders platter. -1 point for the poor packaging for takeout. Something (perhaps the sauce) was leaking through, despite having changed the takeout bag. Didn't want my car to get dirty. Packaging can be improved for future orders.

It's the tiny touches of hospitality that truly elevate a property. I ordered the Sriracha Burger, and boy, this thing packs flavor! The pepper jack cheese provided a wonderful spicy kick, the crispy onion straws offered a lovely crunch, and the sriracha aioli tied everything together with a creamy heat that built just perfectly. Each bite was a perfect combination of savory, spicy, and sloppy - everything you look for in a fantastic burger. The fries were golden, crispy, and well-seasoned; there's no need for ketchup unless you're a die-hard dipper. My kids ordered the Chicken Tender Platter with Fries. The tenders were juicy and crunchy, definitely produced from fresh ingredients rather than the usual frozen stuff available elsewhere. The meal size was generous, and the fries on the side were kid-friendly (read: gone in minutes).

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.
