Paul's Hamburgers (undeserving of the title famous) was one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I've ever had.

To start with, the staff are uninviting and do not seem to appreciate any customer that walks in. They're also only a cash only business, and want you to withdraw cash from their conveniently placed ATM (which you need to pay a fee for). They do this undoubtedly under the guise of maintaining an (old fashion) style of Business, however it would truthfully be to escape taxes. They may suggest to do a pickup order on uber eats or Menulog, but the cost of items are doubled.

The only reason I haven't given it 1 star is because the food itself is reasonably priced, and most menu items are under $10.

The food itself is extremely distasteful, the chips are undercooked and unsalted. The burgers are extremely disappointing, the produce tastes old and the meat is clearly frozen and unseasoned. They don't toast the buns enough, so the burger goes soggy. Finally I'd also recommend not to get "Paul's special sauce" on the burgers, it's awful.

The restaurant is covered in faded and old newspapers (none newer than 2015 from my observation) about awards Paul's Hamburgers has won. And whilst some of the pre-2010 newspapers are interesting to see, they show that Paul's truly has fallen behind and become lazy.

If you're around the area, I'd highly recommend Sylvania Family Indian restaurant, Elate Gyros Souvlaki bar, or Tom Ugly's Kebabs. Until the team at Paul's puts effort and love back into their work, it's simply a waste of money.

FINALLY - The staff had no contract tracing in place for dine in orders, did not social distance, did not ask customers to social distance, and were not visibly keeping sanitary. All the more reason to avoid it, especially...

Seating/Environment: The place does not have a lot of seating, but there are nice areas around the place where you are able to enjoy your meal. A lot of people often take-away their food here.

Payment: The place only accepts cash. There is an ATM machine in there where you can withdraw money but there is a withdrawal fee.

Staff: Overall pretty nice and friendly.

Food: The food comes out very quickly. I have been there many times and all the burgers there are pretty decent. The burgers are also filled to the brim with ingredients. The buns there are a bit too soft for my liking, I would personally like the buns to be a bit toasted but that is just personal preference. When eating the burgers, it can get a bit messy so be prepared.

The chips there are also very nice and crunchy. The serving portion is also very generous. However, sometimes the chips can a bit too overly salted.

They also have drinks such as milkshakes and their freshly made pineapple juice which is not too sour and are decently priced.

Overall: I would highly recommend giving this place a try if you are around the area and are looking for something that is very decently priced,...
