I tried this place for the first time today, after years of passing by it on my way to work. I had read a few good things about it on Google Maps and thought I'd give it a try.
I decided to try the homemade burger combo which came out to be $10.10 which I thought was okkkk considering that kind of the price you'd be getting a fast food chain burger place anyways. In the combo, you get a large burger, a good amount of fries and a can of pop. After seeing how massive this burger was, I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was too. I really liked that is was a thick charbroiled burger patty, and it definitely showed in the taste.
PROS: family run local burger joint with old school charm Friendly and fast service The homemade burger is huge! It's hard to finish They fries was fresh and they don't put any salt, pepper or any toppings to accommodate the customer which I thought was a nice touch. They have the salt, pepper and vinegars off to the side to add yourself.
CONS: The pricing for the combo doesn't offer any discount If you add up the prices of each item individually, it comes out to be the exact same as if in a combo. It might've been just today, but I could definitely tell they use the same fryer for battered fish as they do for the fries because the flavour definitely came through on the fries The burger bun was a tad bit stale, it was cracking all over the place, but that might have to do with the fact that all the doors were open for ventilation.
Overall, I had a pretty good experience and I'll probably come back in a little while for that...
Read moreI first came to Harry's Drive In many years ago and fell in love instantly.
The food is one of the best values for your buck in the city. Simply put. I usually get the Homemade burger combo and it's simply the best burger combo in town.
The meat is top notch, and the bread is AMAZING. Imagine the type brioche bun that you would expect at a high-end dining restaurant in Yorkville... that is what your meat will be served on.
I usually go simple with the toppings and get onions, tomatoes and most importantly Tzatziki sauce. Their Tzatziki is simply unbeatable. Although it is usually served with Souvlaki, it goes INSANELY well with this combination.
Poutine is also another delight here! Not a typrical Quebecois dish, but rather their own style. Cheesey and saucy! Would definitley encourage you to try.
Whether you are trying to grab a quick bite for lunch, or an evening meal, Harry's Drive In comes as a blessing located in the middle of Scarborough. I highly...

I've been going there for decades and my older brother longer than me. Was always an incredible place to eat. Haven't been there the last few years but went there yesterday with an old friend and was treated like Jerry Seinfeld in 'The Food Nazi', no burger for you kind of anti-customer service, very rude. My friend had ordered for me (as I was out trying to find a bank machine at the mall...this place only takes cash...couldn't find a machine so he paid) so I returned and made my own order not realizing my friend had already ordered, I would have ordered a shake too... I was shouted at so I said 'fine', whatever and took what they gave me. Not a fun place to visit...food OK but they need lessons on manners or no one's...
