I liked Rudy’s cheeseburger. Would go back. $8.45 plus tax, $9.61 after tax, for the cheeseburger (I think)

Anyone tried Burger Drops? It pops up now and then in my IG feed.

Rudy’s is on my radar, but gotta go during “off hours” to avoid the smelly teenagers from the local high schools

Burger’s Priest at Eglinton and Warden is hit or miss, even with the same cook. I’ve tried on a few occasions and there is no consistency. Sometimes the burger is slightly charred and seasoned with soft juicy centre perfection, other times it is a chewy, fatty blob of badly made meatloaf. Fries can be good if they haven’t salted to death like they are trying to melt ice on the 401 near Pererborough during a February white-out.
This brings to the best burger you can get: the one you make at home. I will gladly add to that post if someone starts it up!
Poutine is a dish best saved for your road trip to Quebec. Nothing beats fresh cheese curds that have been out on the counter at the local cheese monger at room temperature for less than 12 hours before they lose their squeek.
The best burger that I have had lately of note has been out of town in Kitchener at TWH social. Made of brisket. Top drawer caesar salad as well.

My home-made burgers suck! 
My favourite burgers lately have been Rudy’s for an indie chain burger, and for an upscale burger at a restaurant with table service, the burger at Craft Farmacy in London, Ontario.
Burgers Priest has gone way downhill since it was acquired by a larger food service company, and they’ve changed their burger “grind” for sure. Haven’t been to Holy Chuck lately, it was one of my favorites.
That’s because you don’t eat them for dinner

Wow, l forgot about Holy Chuck. I had a burger there a long time ago when they had a location around Yonge and College. It was quite good.
Now it is on my to do list. Thanks!

I’m a convert to the brunch burger.
Safari Grill’s Safari burger, now $21.99 before tax 
Winter is coming, then what?

Take-out in the park, in my car or on my wee balcony.
Safari keeps the patio going a little longer than most. I have decided I don’t do patios once the temps dip below 15 °C.
Although, I do like Union’s little heated patio, so maybe that will be my winter local this winter. I haven’t tried their burger yet.
Or, you can learn to make that same burger at home for about $6!!

I’m going to try the $29 burger at Union soon. I guarantee it will be a thousand times better than my burger at home.

OMG, I always try to hit up Harveys when I’m back in Canada! I’m glad it’s not just me. In addition to a chargrilled burger, I need my french fries and gravy fix (hard to get in Boston).

I tried this relatively new ’ smash burger ’ place in my neighbourhood. Pretty decent but a touch expensive.'' BURGER FACTORY, Richmond Hill ‘’ - A brand new neighborhood specialist burger joint offering above average, quality products

This place has quite a few outposts. At least 2 in London, Ontario, and several in TO, and elsewhere.
11 locations in Ontario, and locations in the States.
I found their cheeseburger to be pretty good. Not quite as good as Rudy’s, Happy Burger or Harry’s Charbroiled. I haven’t tried Marty’s Pattie’s or Burger Drops.
Yes people, I’ve figured out how to use a camera phone. 
Now I will make you suffer through my out-of-focus photos.
Burger Drops at $12 for a double original smashburger. It does live up to the hype. A very rich version of a smashburger at slightly under half a pound. As with all smashburgers, they don’t survive delivery well so we ate at one of the four tables in-store. It seems most of their business is takeout which we find deteriorates the quality too much. Eat it there. Or even on their parking lot if you have to. See how that bun is soft and fluffy? It’s not gonna survive the trip home.
With Aloette Go’s traditional 4 oz burger at $12.50 and Burger Drops’ 7 oz smashburger at $12, we really don’t need to patronize pub-like places that offer burgers at higher prices.
