Each story is different and this one most definitely is one among them. Even though the owner prayed day and night for his calling as a priest, the true call came which his nose and stomach delivered – hence giving birth to “The Burger’s Priest joint”.
I went into the joint located at the Lakeshore in Port Credit. Dimly lit with the biblical menu and verse on the wall – I was eager to try out the hyped burgers.
My first shot was at Holy Smokes – I leaned on it more cause of the Jalapenos to be truthful as I like it a bit spicy. This one was a double cheeseburger with panko crusted fried jalapenos. The meat was super juicy and fresh. Every bite was delicious. As they say you never get yesterdays beef as every morning they grind it fresh and its 100% Canadian ultra premium, Grass fed and humanely raised sustainable beef. In terms of cooking – it’s done in the most simplest way just smash and sear on a flat top griddle.
My next choice was The Priest – Cheeseburger with panko crusted Portobello mushroom stuffed with cheese. Both the burgers were delicious and same time crispy and juicy. It maintained its freshness and every bite spilled out the flavor. Accompanied with a box of Chilli cheese fries it was a wholesome meal.
Ordered their "Token" chicken sandwich and it was good but visually, a far cry from what they presented. It tasted like hot wings on a bun, which is perfect for my tastes lol!
Their burgers and cookies are always good too.
Finally got to try this place out! Heard a lot about the creative combination. I had the 'Peters Denial' and my friend had the 'chili fries'. Good portions and surprise ingredients!
I came here the other day for a burger I was really craving one- and when I saw that their veggie option was a mushroom I was a little hesitant because last time I had a mushroom based burger - I was not a fan. (can't help but compare it to burger legend in streestville because it's such a similar burger) but anyway... it was surprisingly awesome. hated that I paid 9.00 for a burger with no drink and it was the size of a tennis ball... but it was awesome.. a little overly cheesy for my liking but overall hit the spot and got rid of the craving. They did their job. Good service. Pretty busy. small little spot. the bathroom doors are pretty funny because the mens is a priest and women's is a nun.
The Burger's Priest serves up some of the most tender and juicy burger patties I've ever tasted.
I went for the Magnum - a blue cheese and bacon burger) - whereas both my friends ordered the Vatican - a double patty served between two grilled cheese buns.
I thoroughly enjoyed my burger simply because of the meat and blue cheese. Although, I should warn you that if you're not a fan of salty food, you'd be wise to stay away from the Magnum.
The Vatican is basically a heart attack waiting to happen, but it is oh-so-good! It's definitely a challenge getting your mouth around it (I know that sounds phallic, but it's a really big burger!). The amalgamation of a grilled cheese and a burger is genius.
I also ordered an Old Fashion Chocolate Milkshake. In all honesty, it was too sweet and chocolate-y for my liking. I couldn't get through the entire shake.
Overall, I love The Burger's Priest and can't wait to go back after I've been to the gym for at least a month. The woman that took our order was really fun too.
Monstrous!!! By far the best burger spot in the city. The beef is succulent and the the portions are extreme!! Great value for money. Recommended
BEST burgers in TO. Hands down. Awesome staff. Brilliant food. Quick service. They do everything right. Not very expensive either. Loved their milkshake as well. I tried the one they make with the ice cream. Also they have a secret menu which is not very secret I guess. But such amazing options! And oh the chilli cheese fries!! Just go there already!
Friendly and welcoming staff with great options to choose from. I’m no vegetarian but “The Option” is my favourite burger from their menu. The patty is something that I’d not expect to be on a burger but it still ends up being delicious! With their vast menu, I won’t get tired of eating the same thing again as I can try something new and different such as their items in their secret menu. In terms of their desserts, I always get the cookies! Keep doing what you’re doing!
