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!
The Burger and Fries are great tried it out on the 26 of October at 1 in the afternoon. Place was relatively busy looked clean. The only complaint would be the girl at the cash register not friendly at all.
The burgers Priest is another one of those burger restaurants that is above your regular fast food burgers both in price and taste. I myself love burgers done up this way and was very excited to try it. I cant complain on the taste of the food at all, I finished my burger very fast, which leads me to believe I quite enjoyed it. The restaurant however I found to be quite small and difficult to get a seat at especially around lunch. Its definitely worth a try but do yourself a favor and avoid the lunch hour rush.

How is a great burger defined? Quality of meat? Quantity of meat? Flame-broiled or fried? Taste? Lots of seasonings? Very little seasonings? The bun? The condiments? I've read so much about this place and I knew I had to try it. My burger was the Pope (from the Secret Menu) which is two beef patties with a veggie patty (this is known as the Option which is two portobello mushrooms with a slice of cheese and then it's breaded and deep-fried) and I also had an order of fries and a canned pop. I honestly cannot say this is the best burger I've ever tasted but I also cannot say it's the worst burger I've tasted. It was a burger and it served its purpose, it sated my hunger. I enjoyed the burger for what it was and nothing more. The bun wasn't toasted and I, in all honesty, prefer it toasted. The beef patties were simply seasoned and they are not as thick as some other brands' patties and the fries were nice and crisp and very flavourful and salted (not sure if sea salt and not sure if the fries are fresh-cut on premises or are the frozen variety). Ambience was clean and simple and brightly lit and offers a nice view of bustling Jasper Avenue. I most likely will return again for another burger but . . . as I've said, it's really nothing special, it's just another burger although it is better than some others out there, just not the best, that's all but, then again, we all have our preferences.

Let me preface this by saying I love burgers. I’m not picky when it comes to them either. Just ketchup and mustard? Sounds good. Arugula and Goat Cheese? Sure. If it is two pieces of bread with a patty somewhere in the middle, chances are I’m going to like it. So, without much ceremony let me say, I enjoyed the burger at the Burger’s Priest. There is a however, and that is the price.
So, I went to Burger’s Priest after hearing many good things. I had heard around lunch the place could be a zoo, so I had a day where time wasn’t an issue so I went early. The place has been well decorated, little clerical touches all over the place help remind you of the theme.
Two things stood out to me on the menu. One was something called “The Option”. Cheese sandwiched between two portabella mushrooms and deep fried. Well, that’s going in my belly. The second was “Smoke” which was deep fried jalapenos. I love some spice, so I decided to go big. I got a cheeseburger with bacon, the option and smoke. Toss in a side of fries and a shake and we’re good to go.
Almost. Sticker shock kicks in at this point. I’m an order what I want and worry about the cost later type of guy. However, this is the big however, my lunch cost almost twenty dollars. For a counter service burger that is a tough nut to swallow. Like, Walnut in the shell tough.
Price aside, I really enjoyed the burger. The “Option” is fantastic, worth every extra cent. Burger Priest stands out as they use a very loose packed patty cooked on a flat top griddle keeping it extremely moist. The fries were alright, well-seasoned but lacking the crispness that I enjoy in a fry.
The menu is simplistic, and I mean that in a positive way. They’ve gone basic, the burger is your building block, plus some fixings. They’ve got a couple burgers pre built, but to really understand Burger Priest it’s worth seeking out their secret menu. That is where the creativity lives, with monstrosities such “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” which is a double cheeseburger with two “options” on top. Oh, and they switch out the buns for grilled cheeses sandwiches.
End of the day, I’ll be back. Not often, as it is an expensive lunch and not really a place for supper. But I’m sure I’ll find myself darkening the door again, looking to find salvation in a burger.

I order this for delivery and it was hands down the best burger I've ever had. I ordered a double cheeseburger and added the fried jalapeños and a side of chilli cheese fries and oh man! First of all, the burgers were juicy and delicious, and they tasted like they were made in house. The special sauce was all kinds of delicious. The bun was soft and I highly recommend adding the jalapeños! Seriously so good that I took 3 minutes to write a review about it...
Based on price alone, this place rates a 5/5....a decent variety of selections, i had a fried chicken burger with gravy & corn, very much a multi-knapkin operation, but also worth the effort, there was no option on the fixins as there are with all others, there was NO mayo on this chicken burger, which goes against every rule, however, i will say with this one it wasn't necessary, mrs. bubbasezso had the veggie burger (cheese stuffed portobello mushrooms_), it was tasty as well....we shared a french fry.....i also noticed (although its not published anywhere) that one could, if one desired have one's burger lettuce wrapped.....Yeah.. I'd do that again!!!
Finally got the chance to try Burger Priest after hearing the good and the bad and it's pretty good in my opinion. Yeah the wait time after ordering can be a little long but you can admire the decor while waiting. I got their double magnum burger with bleu cheese. The burger is very tasty with nice juicy patties. The bun itself tastes good but is on the fragile side. Mine fell apart halfway through my burger but it is what it is. My girlfriend opted for the classic double cheeseburger and she throughly enjoyed it. Their chili cheese fries is a nice accompaniment to their burgers. I'll be back for sure to try their other burgers.

I went in with rock bottom expectations because of the things I've heard from my friends or what's written here. So my review might seem a little bit more jolly or lenient.
Starting with the atmosphere, it's a little dirty but it is down-to-earth nice in a way. I went in here after a few drinks so this was a god send to me. I love eating greasy food in dirty places like Steel Wheels after drinks. Everything is just that much more fun.
I paid $10 for this burger (I forgot, sorry, drunk) and it had double patties (Double Cheese Burger?). It was pretty darn small for $10 but it had double juicy patties that I am still dreaming about right now. Perhaps after another night out drinking - when I don't care about the price and just want to eat something quick and unhealthy.
The service was excellent from the burger chef himself. So energetic and positive and happy. It made my day. Really. I think that added to the burger's awesomeness knowing that a jerk didn't make it unhappily or unwillingly (like some other burger places...heh). The patty was never frozen... It was super fresh and it blew my mind. I can almost distinguish between a fresh / frozen patty now... yay! The fries were pretty good but not that seasoned. It was seemingly fresh cut so the flavours were all there.
Should you come check it out? I'd recommend it if you can ignore the bang-for-your-buck factor or if you are drunk and don't care about the price tags and portions. Otherwise - not a satisfying place to have a sobering lunch on a weekday. Nope!
Haven't blogged for a while, but there hasn't been much to write about lately on the food scene in Edmonton. Until recently that is. A new restaurant opened up downtown called The Burger's Priest and my hubby and I decided to check it out. It originated in Ontario and this is the first expansion to the west side of the country. It's located in the corner area of 109 st and Jasper Ave.
Fiery Furnace (Double Bacon Cheeseburger with chopped cherry peppers)
Still reigning champ in the #yeg is Burger's Priest. This Is the millionth time I've been here and tried their newest burger, the fiery furnace. It ain't as spicy as I wanted but it still is such a bomb burger. A good drink pairing is a milkshake cause if you ain't full after the burger, you will be after the shake. It's a little pricy, but if you compare to any fast food place and value a great burger than a mediocre burger for a couple more bucks, then go here.
Located downtown right on the corner of Jasper and 109 St, it's a cool spot. Enough seating for the lunch rush and they also have a patio during the summer.
Sal says: Just eat it
@jlsigs_nab says: the addition of the cherry pepper mixed well with the burgers priest Patty.
@adubalicious says: One line won't properly describe the sand which.

Just found my favorite burger of all time. Got the Noah's Ark, the Option with chili & cheese. I've never had a portobello burger before but being that it's stuffed with cheese, breaded, and deep fried, I wasn't worried. It even had a tiny bit of spice to it, which was great! Super expensive for a burger place, especially being that it's very casual, and you don't get served, but totally worth trying something new.
The meat is really juicy and the patty isn’t a compressed mess that’s been hastily fried and hurried along by the weight of a greasy dude at the end of a spatula. It’s got room to breath, and the texture is lighter and excellent. It’s just a nice basic burger that really lets the natural flavours though and doesn’t hide it all under a coating of seasoning salt and condiments. The toppings where also solid, with nice bacon that wasn’t an overcooked mess, veggies that felt like they hadn’t been sitting in a cold tray for hours, and a pair for fluffy white buns for them to sail in on.

The Burger's Priest is way overpriced, but the burgers are quite good. The bun is nice and soft, lightly toasted and spread with condiment(s) of your choice. The patties are poorly seasoned - or rather, they're seasoned, but the overall flavour profile isn't that pleasant - but the meat is cooked through, it's nice and tender, and some edges are crispy for good texture. The cheese is superbly melty and their Options - the name for a cheese-stuffed deep-fried portobello mushroom - are sensational. Bite into this greasy, fat disc of breaded cheese. And when I say "stuffed", I don't mean a cube of cheddar is just sitting in the middle. It's so stuffed that it practically bursts and oozes cheese.
I had Judgment Day, off the secret menu, and a side of fries. The fries are pretty lacklustre, but every so often you get a crispy chip of a fry and it's fantastic. Just that burger and fries set me back about $25, so you can get a sense of how ridiculous the prices are. The secret menu items are definitely more outlandish, though, because the regular menu ranges from about $7-12. As far as I know, the most expensive secret menu option is the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, which I believe starts at $25.
I noticed that they sold chocolate chip cookies and milkshakes as well, and also a grilled cheese ice cream sandwich. I think I'll be back in the future, but only as a treat.
Nice addition to the downtown options for a solid lunch/dinner. I have no idea why the price is such an issue for people, its exactly on par with every other well-made burger place in town (SodaJerks, delux, relish, red robins, etc.....) and the product is great. You can dine for two at mcds for $20 or take the huge $10 leap and dine for $30, for us it got us a double-bacon cheeseburger, a regular cheeseburger, 2 amaaaaazing shakes, and a shared fries. I couldn't even finish. The shakes are up on my top 5 for the city, creamy and delicious. Would go here just for that.
I really enjoyed my veggie burger, The Option. It was deep fried, but very tasty. The fries were pretty good too. Great service and atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.
My friend from Toronto recommended this place if you have burger cravings. At first I thought all burgers were just burgers but this place made me realize how good a simple cheeseburger can be. They are truly redeeming one burger at a time.
Not as good as Shake shack! But consider a good burger place in Edmonton! Nice burger, fries needs improvement! Milkshake was perfect! 😋😋😋
Pretty good burgers, but a little pricey. For 4 people it was around $70, and 2 of the 4 burgers were just simple cheeseburgers. The beef was well seasoned and tasty. The secret menu online has some crazy burgers. My bf tried Judgement Day and he loved it.
Definitely a great place to go for a big, juicy, messy, cheesy burger. I had "The Pope" from their 'secret' menu and it was amazing, over the top in a good way, they don't try to be fancy with the bun or toppings, just a great patty and simple toppings (how a burger should be). Nice location with fairly fast service when it isn't too busy.
I've been here a few times now. Every time it's been fast service, hot food and a great atmosphere. The only thing that bugs me is how short the fries are.
I don't know if I have it in me to ever finish the Four Horsemen of the Apocalyse burger tower - 3 cheese topped beef patties and 2 "options".. it would take a very hungry person with lots of tummy room to polish off that behemoth! I think it took me 370 days to get out of my food coma after finishing the Judgement Day. Next time I think I'll just get an "option" or two... I think I'm in love with the ooey gooey cheesiness of the stuffed portabello mushrooms. Burger's Priest, you're my kind of religion!
You have to try it!!!. The BEST Burgers and Milkshakes in the City without a doubt!!! More food than one person could possibly eat in one sitting. DELICIOUS!!!
Riggs and Murtagh shake is worth the pain and suffering of lactose intolerance. The burgers are decent, as are the chilli cheese fries. Not out of this world amazing, but still a good addition to downtown.
Good burgers a little over priced. I ordered the California Express burger and it was actually really good. The fries could be better but were hand cut. My total came out to a little more than $15.00 which I thought was a little expensive for a quick in and out burger place; however the food was good.
Double Cheeseburger. Incredibly fresh and delicious!
Amazing. Have no clue what the folks complaining about tasteless burgers are talking about. One bite into my Double Magnum and I knew without a doubt it was the richest and most flavourful burger I've had in this city. The fries weren't quite as extraordinary, but they were done exactly how I like them. I suppose there's no accounting for taste, but one burger in and I'm sold. Nothing else I've had in Edmonton even comes close.
A little overhyped but overall I was so happy with my experience! I ordered the cali and it was marvelous. Fries are just as good and the strawberry shake is soooo good. I had a minor mishap with my burger and the man behind the counter was soo helpful. I even got a free cookie :) Counter service is awesome and I just love this place.

YAHBJ = Yet Another Hip Burger Joint
Very similar to Five Guys but classier and with a tongue and cheek biblical twist (somewhat tacky and pointless gimmick)
Burgers are solid. They are fresh and tasty, the meat is not greasy but not dry, the bun is tender but stays together.
Potions are a bit on the small side compared with the competition, one the other hand, if your looking for a more moderate potion at a moderate price, this really works out for you.
The chicken burger was a mess with the corn and gravy but it was pretty good.
Minor comment, our fries where mostly the end bits. while i like the crunchy end bits, it was too much of a good thing.
While the food is good, I suspect the success has a lot to do with the location prominently on the corner of Jasper and 109th.
My 2 cents, Just because the patty is fresh, not frozen dose not make it better. What matters is the balance of meat, fat and seasoning in the recipe. I find really lean burgers are best frozen because the cold core is less likely to over cook and dry out.
Don't think they deserve some of the negative comments. Excellent fresh, lean, pure burger and fries. Not like many in the city where you feel sick after eating it! Quick service and tons of fries. Will have to try shakes next time.

Half-decent little burger bar. The tag line for this popular chain out of Toronto is "redeeming the burger one at a time". I don't know if I would go that far, the Burger's priest certainly doesn't bring salvation to a bleak and sinful burger wasteland, but the burgers are a fine treat none the less. The atmosphere is nice enough, they manage to go with a lot of whites and tile without getting that gross hospital feel, but does anyone else thing they missed out on a great opportunity to model the space after the inside of a church? next up lets talk prices. I see a lot of people bemoaning the cost of food here, is it over priced? well... yeah? I guess so? But compare it to analogous burger bar chain; five guys, and its only more costly by a buck or two but infinitely better in my humble opinion. Something I really appreciate is that they don't just bring the same basic burger to you, you know the one; ground meat, fixin's, bun and done. That type of place is ok and all but Burger's priest plays with the burger formula just enough that it doesn't fall in with the also-rans. It's the little differences that make burgers priest distinguishable like throwing the burger in a grilled cheese Sammy or a burger with chili on top. Not ground-breaking stuff to be sure, but its a nice touch that makes some of their flaws more forgivable. What flaws you might ask? Well there are some quality quibbles. Like the fact that the burgers are too greasy and drippy, or that they are served up with craft singles as the cheese (which should really count more as a plastic product than food). Oh, and while the burgers were just ok, the fries and the shakes were great! aside from that the fries were all little nubs they were crisp and delish', and the shake tasted like a regular choco shake and an oreo blizzard had a love child. Very nice.
Worth checking out. Not the best burger out there, but I for one found it to be quite alright.
Yummy, but over-priced. Delicious, fresh, basic burgers, shakes, and fries.
Over-priced, though.
Also, love the Catholic iconography.
It's in the same category as Five Guys, Fat Burger, and Smash Burger as far as price and quality. However I would say the burger here is delicious and better then the other places. The fries on the other hand were just ok. I would defiantly go again!!
Delicious - recommend The Priest and HP. Been twice already, had The High Priest and The Priest as well as their fries. Yes, the dining area is simple and messy at times, because it's so busy. The burgers, which is what it's all about, were simply delicious. Tender and juicy, well put together. Would compare to Shake Shack in New York, but more modern, more gluttonous options and larger burgers. The High Priest is very similar to a Big Mac in composition, whereas the Priest has a single patty with an added "Option" which is their veggie burger but really more of a round breaded garlic cheese ball which added a delicious cheesiness to the burger. Fries were alright, though I found them a bit plain and they certainly needed a bit more salt - better than too much salt though!
Food was tasty, service was great.
Craving good food. I had my first burger from burger priest and I have to say it is now one of my favorite burgers they definitely have mastered the art of a good juicy full flavored ground beef patty. No seasonings just the natural flavor of a good cut of meat. Thank you burger priest for not messing with perfection
Very fresh, perfect size and real fries.
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.
