One of our friends would talk about this burger joint in Toronto she would visit for a great gluten free burger. Every visit we made to Toronto, we'd never quite make it down to the joint. Great news is that The Burger Priest now has a location in Edmoton. Downtown to be specific at Jasper Ave. and 109 Street, beside the Kyoto Japan.
With no other quick burger joints in the area (or at least that I could think of), I got around to finally trying The Burger's Priest! I got the "What's Right" combo which included the double cheeseburger, chilli cheese fries, a cookie, and a drink. The combo seemed like a really good deal at first, until they gave me a small cookie and a regular can of gingerale. But I still had hope! The chilli cheese fries was amazing! Seasoned, flavourful, and hearty; definitely had that classic chilli taste. The burger was delicious as well- super juicy and overall hit the spot! I just wasn't too happy that we had to wait 30 minutes for our order on a not too busy Sunday night (especially for a $17 combo!). I also found it a bit odd that alot of the orders that were "eat-in" were bagged and boxed in styrofoam. It might take another while for me to try this place again but I do recommend everyone try it at least once!
I always love going to Burger's Priest when I'm in Toronto so was super happy when I found the Edmonton location. I always keep it pretty simple, Bacon Double Cheeseburger with only ketchup. Never disappoints. Will continue to hit this up whenever I'm craving a burger!
I am very picky when it comes to burgers and I'm not easily pleased with them. The burger priest however was amazing. I have nothing bad to say about the food. It was fresh and delicious and full of flavour. The girl at the front desk however was quite unprofessional and was wearing a see through shirt and was not the most polite. So the only marks taken away were from the service.
Why is everyone who works here so grumpy?!? I mean the food is delicious but everyone's attitudes could use some improvement. Also I'm not sure how I feed about someone in the food service industry preparing my food while wearing a crop top...gross
I went here before the Death Cab for Cutie show. It was 5:30 when we got there and no one was there, which I found odd. The high priest is extremely close to In N' Out's animal style burger which is my favorite anywhere. The fries are large portions and they have a huge cooler full of unique canned beverages. My only qualm would be that there is no place to put ketchup. I ended up ripping my bag up, if they had little cups that would be perfect.
Service is very bad, like extremely bad. The girl at the cash was grumpy as hell. There wasn't a line or anything but she was expecting us to just know the menu and topping board off my heart; so while we were looking at the topping board she huffed and rushed us. Don't get me wrong- I get it, part time job, who cares. But still, the girls there were more worried about finishing their gossip rant than actually serving.
Wait time for us was about fifteen minutes.
On to the food, we got the double cheese burger, the denial and an order of fries.
It's pricey for a burger but once we actually got it- delicious.
The double cheese burger was totally worth it. Juicy and meaty and not too greasy.
Peter's Denial which consisted of buttermilk fried chicken, GRAVY AND sweet corn. So perfect. It has a little bit of a kick to it which made the taste so unique and mind blowing.
So is the burger worth going through the terrible service? Absolutely.
I finally got to try Burger's Priest after my friend mentioned it opened up a while back. The place was small but pretty clean for a fast food joint. I ordered the double cheeseburger and the chili fries to stay and eat with a couple of friends. The double cheeseburger was the best burger I've eaten in my life (and I've tried FatBurger, Rodeo Burger, McD, etc). It was honestly heaven in my mouth, although I'm not sure how much hunger played a factor in this. On the other hand, the chili fries were really disappointing. The sauce just overpowered the fries and they didn't taste very good. If they had fries that were like Mcdonald's fries, that would be like 110%.
I would definitely go again for burgers, but probably wouldn't get the fries next time. Highly recommend for burgers!
Service was awful, restaurant was dirty, tables were dirty too. Double cheeseburger was amazing!
It literally makes me happy every single time. I am so addicted and will be back for sure. 10/10
Who needs good service? I just want a burger that makes me love life!
Not the best burger I've had in Edmonton, actually it's probably not even in the top 10. But it wasn't horrible and they are a good size for the price.
But just not my taste, I do know a lot of people that I like it though I just expect more from my food I guess?
*****Update 2018 I am so disappointing in my past self for not seeing the beauty of this restaurant. THIS IS THE BEST BURGER PLACE ON THE PLANET. I can not stress enough of how this burger almost brought me to tears. Double smoked burger with Jages, this needs to be had at least once in your life time. their secret menu is something I never imagined in my dreams. Please forgive me burger priest for I have sinned!
They have the most amazing old fashioned milkshakes. Pictured here, our favorite the mint chocolate chip shake. It is creamy and has just the right amount of mint to make it yummy. The chicken tenders (hot n honey especially) are my second favorite food personally, however, my husband absolutely loves the chicken burgers. They never fail to disappoint considering we often get the food delivered. It is always amazing!!
We came on tonight with the boys for dinner. I ordered the high priest. Kids ordered the hotdogs, chicken burger and the low priest. With fries and cheese fries. The food was amazing. Service was super. Atmosphere was great. Can't wait to come back
Absolutely amazing staff! The place is beautiful and staff are super friendly and humanly splendid. The food is always delicious and pricing is all right. I love that you get a lot of food as well for the price.
Also I want to thank from the bottom of my heart and on behalf of my mom the staff for not rejecting her for using the bathroom as she has diabetes. Not all the shop around you (KYOTO) have a staff like yours, understanding and simply good human beings. And plus your food was damn excellent.
I am definitely going back and recommending it to EVERYBODY. Yes your heard … this restaurant is food is “ZE BEST”.
Walked into Burger Priest for lunch today with my little boy. From the moment we were helped to the moment we left, the service was superb! The food was delicious! Burgers made to perfection and the chicken was excellent!place is very clean! When they realized my hands were full with seating my son etc, they brought over our tray and served us well. Thank you! We will be going back and totally recommend this location!
We always enjoy the food here. Usually I go for the beef burgers, but today I tried The Token (buffalo fried chicken burger with blue cheese) and it was delicious as well.
