Golden Star Burgers on Yonge, north of Steeles has been attracting The Hubby’s attention for years. Each time we drive why, he scopes out the number of cars in the parking lot and we debate on whether or not to try it out. The Hubby loves a good charcoal grilled burger and the craving hits me as well occasionally. We finally stopped by Golden Star this summer, hoping to find a new burger spot close to home.
Just a happy place with old school burgers the size of your face. Golden Star is a Thornhill favourite with great burgers and fries the way you like em. It can get pricy if you order combos but the amount of food you get in return is enough for two meals. Order carefully!
Homemade Allstar Burger + Cheese = Yum!!
Some things don't change and shouldn't change. Golden Star has kept people coming back for many years by making good burgers.
The one thing I would like them to change: accept more than just cash as a method of payment. That wouldn't change the quality of the burgers, would it?
There is a reason Golden Star has been around so long - because it's excellent. You want a hamburger and fries and don't care about a fancy place? This is it.
First time here. Not a Thornhill resident, BEST BURGERS EVER although it's a diner looking place and you would drive missing it completely, make the stop and order the house burger!
Been coming here since the 70's. Love this place.
Great Burgers, Great Atmosphere!. I love the burgers here! Great family owned business! I go there almost every Wednesday, i call it Golden Wednesdays!
Love the burgers, fries are pretty soggy though (especially if with gravy/poutine)
I'm from etobicoke so am insanely biased towards apache burgers -- but if you like apache or burger shack. (And I love them both) you will like golden star too. I would stop by if up north. (especially with kids) .

Best burgers ever! I’ve been coming here with my family and friends since I was a kid. Quality has not changed a bit and I enjoy every bite of the burger. Their homemade combo is the “go-to” for many, however I haven’t really tried other things on the menu because this combo is just too good!!
When I went today, I believe it was $16-17 after taxes for a combo. Not cheap, but you’re getting the quality. They usually get busy during meal times, so you already know that people are willing to spend that kind of money since it’s really good!
I would suggest to get the onion rings instead of fries though. Sometimes their fries are a little burnt, but I’ve never had an issue with their onion rings for the past ten years. They hand bread it, so sometimes the rings look stuck together (which is the evidence that they make it from scratch)
Fast service, and very accommodating. Not to mention that they also have beer! Great for a small family dinner, ambience is nice and it reminds me of the old movies where they feature a diner. Also one plus: they used to only take cash, but now they take both cash and debit card. Still no credit, so make sure you bring a bank card or cash.
Had the classic homemade burger with a strawberry milkshake, poutine, and onion rings. Food tasted great, service was incredibly fast and the staff were very kind and welcoming. Milkshake was the best I’ve ever had, will definitely be back for more.
Update: still damn good
I was so obsessed with their bbq smokes everyday on my way back home and finally tried the burger! Never regret! but regret why I didn't try this place for long time... You must try if you read this!
I had a pecan butter banana milkshake I think it was the best milkshake ever definitely will be back. Onion rings where so good.
Dropped in for lunch, got the steak on Kaiser sandwich which was decent and the poutine which was great. Service was quick and staff were friendly. Would go back to try the burger out one day.
