Magnums Bar and Eatery — Restaurant in Brampton

Best Burgers in Town - well not anymore!!

I've lived in Brampton longer than I can remember and this WAS the best place and our "go-to" for a quick, fresh, juicy, delicious hamburger, although Magnums is well-known for their wings!!

I can say that I am (along with several of my neighbours, friends and coworkers) extremely disappointed that they removed the double burger option from their menu recently. This is actually quite ridiculous!! The burgers are about $10 and you could "Magnum-Size" it for $3.00 adding a second patty. All of a sudden they decided that if you wanted a double burger you now have to order 2 separate complete hamburger meals at $10 each which would both come with the bun, fries and the fixings, and then throw everything out just to add a second patty to your burger. We don't understand the logic behind this. If cost is an issue, they ought to have simply increased the charge of the second patty to $5.00 or so.

There is no good reason why you can't go to any restaurant and order a double burger or have the option to add a second patty - Even Kelsey's $16 hamburgers are all double patties by default, you have to specifically tell them you want a single when ordering or else you get two patties at not extra charge. Chucks Roadhouse offers a double burger for $15.99, Sonny's on Queen/Kennedy does the same and so on. For this reason a lot of us have returned less frequently and moved on to other restaurants.

**The menu is limited when it comes to accommodating Gluten allergies, and in fact, there are only 3 "safe" options: a bunless hamburger called the Diet Burger (hence the need for 2 patties) a steak or a salad with a tiny piece of chicken - not at all filling or satisfying. (fries are cooked in the same oil as their breaded wings).

Aside from this hamburger issue, they have a great selection of their daily specials, friendly staff, great quality food, good portions and affordable prices in general. TV's to watch sports and a stage for weekend entertainment.

Unfortunately they do not have a designated smoking area and for those who do not smoke, you are bombarded with a thick cloud of stinky smoke (now the added smell of weed) and a crowd of people right at the entrance puffing away blocking the door which smells horrible before and after your meal. Management should focus on making an effort to prohibit smoking near the door and on the walkway to the entrance, and instead, designate a smoking area along the windows by the parking lot or somewhere else away from the entrance and patio.

If you want a good burger, Magnums is not the place; however if you are looking for anything else, this is where...

Was a regular here for YEARS! Went in one day as we usually do to grab wings and pints. The place was dead, yet it still took 20 minutes to get a drink. These are not new staff by the way, same ones we always saw.

After an hour of feeling completely ignored we wanted to leave. Asked for the bill. My buddy left to go for a smoke and figured by the time he came back we'd be ready to leave. 20 minutes later we're still waiting while the girls are having their chats at the bar.

I went up to pay the bill as we were sick of waiting and the waitress comes behind me and slams a tray on the counter. The absolute ignorance of these silly little girls. I'm quite certain their business has declined.

The "manager" or "owner" as her scumbag boyfriend calls her, hasn't a clue. When the old "manager" was their (all the owners daughters) She was the most incredible person.

Now you couldn't pay me to go in after getting treated with such disrepsect. Been going there for YEARS and this is how I get treated (with no form of apology ever given).

If this is how they treat someone who had been going there regularly, for over a decade, imagine how you will be treated.

Additonally the guy that did the karaoke there was one of the best guys ever. He passed away and I never had a chance to see him again. I will never forgive these spoiled little brats for this.

Everything was going fine I ordered a sandwich with no onion because I'm allergic. I get my order there are onions no big deal I flag down the waitress and inform her that there are onions. Dose she say sorry or I miss heard you? no. She responds "you said no mushrooms." nope I love mushrooms I said no onion. If she had said I heard mushrooms I wouldn't be so upset but she basicly called me a liar. We sorted it out she took my sandwich and fries away and told me it would be a while. No problem I was there with friends we could take our time. About 20 minutes later my food comes back well just the sandwich comes back, no fires. I had eaten maybe 5 fries before noticing the onion. I didn't want to make a fuss because I have worked customer service and can relate it a mistake, but really? Call me a lier then don't give me my full order. The resterant is nice and my friends enjoyed their food. Next time I guess I just will avoid that watriess. She also said my friend couldn't pay with her visa debit card. But it's a visa so i ended up paying for the both of us just so we could leave. I didn't want to argue with her,...
