I've been told that The Burger's Priest is the Shake Shak of Canada, and since I've been craving for a Shake Shak burger ever since my one time in NYC, I had to try this place out. I've past by this restaurant at the Lakeshore location and have always seen it busy with long lines and filled up tables, and the smell of the burgers and fries coming from there would tempt me but I always restrained as I try to stay away from fast food. Since my cravings got the best of me I finally decided to give it a try. At this location the restaurant is very small, with like 6 small tables max. They have only one vegetarian option and just recently got a special fried chicken burger, while the rest are beef burgers. I wanted to be on the safe side and so I ordered the regular cheeseburger, while my brother ordered the fries and the vegetarian burger, which was a fried mushroom stuffed with cheese. There is no table service so when we walked up to the counter the lady taking the orders was not very friendly, but that didn't really bother me. I noticed that for our burgers we had a very limited choice of toppings that could be added. We received a number and had to wait and listen for it to be called. Our order must have taken around 10 minutes, which made this place not so much of a fast food option. The serving size did shock me. Both our burgers were literally the size of a slider, which was not worth the price. I see why people choose larger options from their menu, as a regular cheeseburger may only fill a child. My burger was amazing though. What made it amazing for me was not only the juicy meat but mostly the bun. Their buns were the softest buns I've ever had, which were amplified by their addition of a smear of butter on the inside. My brothers first bite of his mushroom burger resulted in cheese bursting out, which wasn't a bad thing. So, in my opinion, I think these burgers may be competitive to Shake Shak burgers. The only thing that they need to improve is their serving size or their prices, because compared to other fast food burger places they were much more expensive. Also, their lack of a variety of additional toppings was another disadvantage. Despite this, I will definitely return and recommend to all those who don't mind paying a bit more for a quality fast...
Read moreHonestly, these burgers are awesome. My one complaint would be price. It is a liiiiiitle expensive, but ingredients seem quality so you're getting what you pay for. Make no mistake, this is the greatest burger you may eat this week, month, year.
But I guarantee, if you're super hungry and/or happen to be a marijuana connoisseur and have "the munchies" and are in desperate need of a half pound grease ball of beef that tastes amazing and sends you into the stratosphere of itis, this is your place.
My order is a Double New York Taxi Serivce with cheese and no tomato. Fries are 4$ but amazing and you get a large order; solid for splitting with someone.
Canned drinks are $1.69 plus tax so I would say bring your own, eat at home, or get a can from the 24-hour Rabba down the block before or after so you don't feel that expense...
If I bring a drink I can eat for under $10. Probably best burger for that price in this area. If you want to spend less, McDonalds is just down the road!!
My buddy lives in the condo connected to the plaza, so really I just want to say thanks to the burger priest for the awesome burgers on the countless occasions I've wandered in baked as hell at all hours giggling like a lunatic.
I could do without the Christian propaganda though.
I always assumed it was just their niche... well, to each their own. People of faith welcome. Even enthused. Atheists...
Read moreBeing a huge burger fanatic and being local to the Port Credit region has encouraged me to give Burger Priest a couple chances. Every time I have been to this establishment, I have been disappointed beyond even my lowest expectations.
Walking in, it's kind of a trendy place to be. It really is an aesthetically cool place to be, with biblical quotes written on the walls and confession booth decor. However, I don't want to a restaurant for the visually appeal, I walk in for the food.
The burgers are pricey, but I'm more than willing to pay extra for a good meal. Except the quality is absolutely atrocious. My meal is always DRIPPING in grease, the meat squirts grease with every bite, the buns are always soggy, and my tomatoes are always a bright yellow colour. I usually can't finish the burger before I feel like puking. The also greasy fries aren't crispy and always taste like raw potatoes.
This is NOT just one bad experience. I have tried it, swore it off and then would come back a year later to find nothing has changed. I've complained many times online and was never met with any response. The management doesn't care, the quality is horrible for it's insane prices.
I'm just waiting for the Burger Priest to go out of business. If you're looking for a good burger and you're willing to pay an extra buck, try the Works across the street. It's way more edible than the...
