Review Dandy's Charbroiler - London

Definitely a hamburger place worth trying! Order: 7oz burger in a combo with fries. Sirloin Steak sandwich combo with onion rings. Burger was fantastically priced and massive in serving size. It was delicious. Absolutely had a hint of cinnamon and the burger meat tastes heavenly with fresh toppings from the topping bar. Fries were delicious, steak cut style and lightly salted. Sirlion Steak burger was phenomenal. It’s rare I find a place that offers this, so when I see it I go for it and it did not disappoint. Love the grill taste on the steak. Only thing we didn’t care for were the onion rings, too much batter in my opinion. I’m sure it’s popular, just not our thing. Great customer service though! Love the topping bar as well! They looked fresh. Next time we come back to London, we’re going straight to Dandy’s.

This is the best place for fish and chips. It's true! Hand battered fish, cooked til crispy on the outside and tender and flaky on the inside. They've changed up the chips and they are big fat creamy fries! The kind of fries you dream about!

When I saw the sign that this was the #9 Best Burger Place in Ontario, I was excited to check this restaurant out. What I ordered: 1 x Bacon Cheeseburger 1 x Onion Rings What I liked: Service ✅ the service was top notch. There was someone training while I was there and they were still attentive. You can see they value customer service and have lots of ‘regulars’. Dining Area ✅ lots of seating. Booths and dining tables. Burger ✅ Burger was a solid 7.8/ 10. I can’t say that it’s the best in Ontario but could compete for the top 10 in London. The patty is thin which I like and large in diameter. What could’ve been better: Greasy ❌ let’s just say, the burger bun was glistening. The rings were very greasy but they just came out of the fryer soooo…. I guess that contributed to it. Fryer Oil ❌ I guess they use the same fryer for everything. The onion rings tasted like fish and chips which threw me off taste wise. I don’t think the oil has been changed in a while. Onion Rings ❌ due to the fishy taste and overall greasy coating, I added two in my burger and through out the rest. If you look at the photo though, they look great. I think if they dedicated a fryer to fries/rings, the flavour wouldn’t be dominated by other foods. Overall, the burger was decent and the service was outstanding so I may return. They also have a Philly cheesesteak that looked alright. Give them a try !! 💯

I have been a customer of Dandy's for as long as I can remember. However, Evan and the staff have always provided a world class quality of customer service and hospitality. They always have reached my expectations. The food is always excellent but the staff always makes you want to come back to Dandy's. Thank you again Evan and staff at Dandy's.

After my root canal, And some “back to school” shopping for my son, My better half and I were hungry. I wanted a juicy burger, And he said; “I got the place”. When he said; “Dandy’s”, I said; “Oh where the BEST friend mushrooms are?”…. Dandy’s did NOT disappoint. The onion rings were FRESH and delicious, Our hamburgers were grilled to perfection, Their Kaiser bun is so fresh and tasty, Again - In London for an appointment and some shopping, To finish off with a great “cheat” meal before heading home… This place was worth it. A bit expensive, But we like to take a break from cooking our healthy meals. Their friend mushrooms are so good, I’d have them everyday if I could!

The homeburger was delicious, as were the fries! The onion rings were good, but perhaps too much dough for our liking. We’d definitely return and try some of their other menu items!

NEZAR APPROVED! I have been visiting this place for the past 8 years the staff and owners are wonderful people and have treated me like family from day one. It’s hard to make a hamburger unique and authentic to your establishment. That being said I will go on record saying: The “Dandy’s homemade burger” is ONE OF THE TOP 4 BEST BURGERS I HAVE EVER DEMOLISHED! This list is an exclusive list, the burgers must score a minimum 11 out of 10. All burgers in this list are tied in ranking. Yet Dandy’s has the lower price by a long shot. Lastly I have to mention the consistency both in value, taste and price. This burger will fill you up (without the pain of heavy grease). The taste is a clean charbroiled high quality beef taste. And the price has remained reasonable over the years. Overall an incredible place, I wish many years of success and blessings on this establishment. Thank you for bringing me joy and feeding my hunger!

I haven't been in years and I'm not sure why. If you, like me, haven't been in a while, go. The burgers are their own thing. Massive, toasty bun, made the way you like it, and charred in a way that works for me. Try the onion rings, but share an order with a friend. They are like fresh made crunchy onion fritters. It's Dandy, and it's been there for a thousand years for a reason.

If you're looking for a tasty burger in London, Dandy's is definitely worth checking out. I tried their double cheeseburger and it was delicious. Overall all i recommend this place

A London staple in the south end I have been coming to get a Dandy’s burger for about 20 years and they are still doing it right A giant handmade burger cooked on a grill rather than a flat top - lots of great char and they will dress the burger to your liking The French fries alone are worth the trip All around great spot that you need to try if you haven’t yet

GREAT HOMEMADE FOOD! Their fries are home-cut.. and better than "Arena Fries"! That's not something easy to accomplish! Their burger meat is defintely extra-lean ground beef, with minimal binder to hold the patties together. Tons of toppings on your burger if you want them, and great sides portions. Their menu has a little bit of everything, from burgers, to souvlaki, to fish & chips, to poutine! Something for everyone. I loved this place and will be back, AS OFTEN AS I CAN! Thank you for such an authentic, well rounded, and great tasting burger! Magnufique!!! 😋

My first visit I played it safe and got the burger. While waiting I got to watch them make the Philly Cheesesteak, and my jaw dropped 😮. I've had some of the worst luck with Cheesesteaks, so much that I don't even try anymore. The burger satisfied, but after seeing what I saw I was itching to come back for the Cheesesteak. 🤤 And I did. Later that week I fired up their mealsy website, ordered a Cheesesteak with HP, and salivated all the way to pickup. It was great, and while I love HP, it was maybe too strong of a flavor. 🤔 I've been back 4 times since for the "hot sauce" version, 'cause frankly, it's one of the best sandwiches in the city ❤️. The sweetness of the vegetables doesn't get masked by the hot sauce; The bread has the perfect combination of freshness and chew; The steak is sliced and cooked just right. It's fantastic. Hats off to Dandy, whomever you are. 😋 There's an EV charger across the street at the Canadian Tire gas station (please don't block the Chadmo). Parking and running across the street to grab lunch seems to be my routine now. 😅

We would always order and be satisfied, but now they send out a message 6o mins that was at 622 and we still have not received our food. When we called the restaurant they said they did not have enough delivery people, well wouldn’t you think you should call those customers and let them know! Just a though Dandy’s

Dandy's is a small independent burger place that beats most burger chains. The burger was big but very thin and was a bit overcooked and dry. Service was good and staff friendly. I would go back again to try again.

the burger was charbroiled not just reheated like at Harveys,place was clean staff were very friendly and i had the combo with a greek salad came on a plate very large and excellent had to get a doggy carton to take the other half home will definately go back even though we live in the north end of London

Used go love this place... big portions great food for a good price...with all that being said...there service sucks!!! Got a hair in my wrap like a big black one!!! Told the dude but cause my wrap was almost gone said nothing he can do now.... if food wasn't good and portion and prices good this would be a zero

https://youtu.be/TvG83ydiHkY<br/><br/>OK folks, yesterday I committed an amateur grave sin of writing a review on a wrong restaurant. I meant to review Dandy's Charbroiler, not Dooly's Shawarma. It's the other Middle Eastern themed restaurant. Not Barakat either. Barakat is another one. I have deleted the wrong review.<br/><br/>Sorry about that!<br/><br/>So, Dandy's (not Dooly's) is very consistent. I have been a returning customer since 2005. They have good burgers especially the half pound homemade one. My favourite is the rib eye one.

What you've read from the other reviews is spot on. It was good in 2005 but I won't visit the place ever again.

No More Bacon. New Management. Muslim food rules.. Ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger. Was substituted Turkey Bacon without being informed. When I asked I was told they no longer serve Pork, due to religious reasons. After 30 years of patronage I will never eat there again, and I encourage you to do the same...

Times not so Dandy. I have been going to dandys since 1998. Back then it was great. Now the burgers are thin and overcooked, and the new buns are weak. I still love the onion rings though they are still the same. Half the time I order them with my burger combo the guy forgets and gives me fries. Sigh.

Not happy. I've been going there for years and must say my lunch today was gross. They've changed their buns, the kaiser bun has been replaced by a ciabatta bun which makes it hard to chew, my bacon was artificial which was hardly cooked and I think it was turkey bacon. I ended up throwing out my burgar because it had a weird taste to it. The fries are not white and they also had a weird taste and killed by salty seasoning so they ended up in the garbage as well. The quality of their food has gone down considerably.

Woe is me. Went to my favourite burger joint in London on Friday and ordered my regular Dandy's combo. Was called up to the counter to choose my toppings and Horror of Horrors they served the fries pulled out of a bag!!! I don't know about you but the main reason I went to Dandy's was to enjoy their fresh peeled and cut fries. GONE!!!!! to top it off they changed the bun to a harder, thicker bun. I ate half the burger and dumped the rest. If you are going to charge $10 for a burger you better have something that sets you apart from every other burger place out there. In my mind it was the fries and a decent bun. Both gone and so am I.

Burgers and shawarmas are good but don't really like the fries

Better years ago than today. Ive had Dandys a few times and have had it dating back to 2000 ish time.. and it was good back then. The burgers were great tasting. Now its just ok, I don't think I'll be going back there anytime soon

NEVER EATING HERE AGAIN!!! .... NEVER EATING HERE AGAIN!!!<br/>I have a positive experience at this restaurant 60% of the time. I had called to order food only to be told to call back later. Once I managed to place my order I waited an extra 15 minutes for my delivery. I recieved for $15: a soggy burger and fries and 3X the toppings I had asked for securely packaged in a wet greasy bag! When I had called the manager to voice my complaint I was put on hold again, shuffled between 3 people and ignored. I can not believe how this place treats its customers.

Not so dandy. We ate their breaded chicken burger, chicken wings, and onion rings, and I'd have to say my favorite part of the meal was their fountain Pepsi. The wings were burnt, the chicken burger had about as much personality and flavor as a regurgitated mothball, and their onion rings were just plain nasty. So if you feel like buying something overpriced, and not worth its salt, eat here.

Great Burgers!. Ahh the Dandy Burger, what a work of beauty!<br/>In my personal opinion the best burger in London!

forget my previous review. I ordered a home burger today and got what looked like a raw burger. When I showed them they said it was because it was lean beef. I have made hundreds of burgers and have even ground steaks for burgers myself and I have never seen beef that does not change colour when cooked. I have however seen horse meat that stays red after cooking. <br/><br/>I have eaten at Dandy's many times previously but I won't be going back to Dandy's ever again.<br/><br/>If you eat there you may be taking a big chance.

Stay away from this place.. I have inside information from former staff..<br/>All im going to say is stay far away from this place.

I have not been to Dandy's for years. I stopped in for lunch and It was still a great burger.<br/><br/>You portion size is good too.
