Burger Baron — Restaurant in Greater Strathcona

I think I've only ever been to Burger Baron once or twice in my life and I've lived in Edmonton for over 40 years. I noticed people mention The Lebanese Burger Mafia documentary in some of the Google reviews so I decided to check it out after ordering a mushroom burger combo. The documentary was informative and taught me a lot about Burger Baron's origins and how the business is run today.

The mushroom burger I ordered was pretty tasty. I'm not sure why I haven't gone more often over the years, but it's probably because I never tried the mushroom burger before. I think I tried a donair at one location and a basic burger at another, and neither meals were anything special. I think the key with Burger Baron is understanding which items are best to order at each location. The mushroom burger definitely stands out at this location. I think I'll be going a bit more often from now on.

EDIT

Ordered for delivery on 09/19/24. The french fries I received with my order weren't fried long enough. I received cold, extremely soggy, and oily fries. Not a single fry was crispy either. A clear indication that the fries weren't in the fryer long enough. Keep in mind, my burgers were still warm. Delivery was also quick so there's no reason why the fries would have gotten cold unless they weren't prepared properly. The previous times I've ordered the fries have always been warm and perfectly crispy. Today was...

I hated that when I went to Burger Baron that it was not the same food it has drastically changed I can't get over paying for half a cup of dry ribs for $8. Especially when I can go over to superstore and grab a nice great big bag for $9 that will feed 5 people. Absolutely disgusted that Burger Baron has decided to take the route of the customer doesn't matter. There was nothing wrong with the food before I don't know why new entities come in and they feel they need to change it. Go open up your own restaurant and serve your Own personal recipe and leave Burger Baron alone. Burger Baron has always had amazing food until recently. The bad attitude at the window it's too much. If you don't like your job go home. We can definitely tell That the new staff doesn't really enjoy their job as food that is coming out is Not even half as good as it used to be. Bring back the old staff They knew how to run things it was nice to see a smile at the window we don't see that now we just see disgruntled workers. I won't be back to Burger Baron I've been going for 30 years and sadly I will not return. My last time was the worst time and was enough to stop me...

It has an open image to the customer with a clear view of food prep and cooking. The kitchen being in plain view seems clean and well organized. Meats and other temperature sensitive products are stored away immediately after use leaving a clear clean work area. The service is friendly and prompt with a sense of efficiency to completion of ones order. Knowledge of the menu and available sides to customize your oder to liking is pleasant. The eating area is clean and plainly laid out to find avaliable seating while still in sight of the order counter to retrive items when ready and announced. Though an older building the facility is kept clean uncluttered and in good order by staff/ownership. The washrooms are the only draw back to the operation being small and single service. Though the size and age plays a factor to the restrooms they are again kept in good order and clean. Overall experience at this establishment was positive from its unique menu to its privately owned and daily operated location. I would recommend if in the mood for a fast food burger or old school milk shake to deep fried onion rings and...
