The Burger's Priest — Restaurant in Toronto

Forgive me father for they have sinned, I was a bit confused, disheartened, hurt, a little broken when I went to the burgers priest tonight. All started well. I placed my order. I got a shake. I patiently waited for my food. And then, like in a movie, the staff vanished. From the back, distant sounds of happy birthday. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for birthdays... but they didn't return after that. I stared longingly at the grill, which I assumed housed my lonely burgers and with shrinking hope of recieving my poutine. I called to them, "Do not be afraid! I will wait for you!". 10 minutes pass. I am certain the staff have been abducted. But hark! A staff member returns!... Only to pass by without a glance to converse with his loitering salad fiend friend (they don't even sell salads there?) Alas! A second staff emerges from the distant back room in order to rehydrate. He sips his water and proceeds to stare at me. I stare back. The intensity of our staring contest will be talked about in hushed, reverent tones for generations. Let down twice, maybe, hopefully, I will interact with a third staff member. Hopefully one who has not been consumed by the cake. Lost in the sauce if you will. Wait. What's that sound? Another contender emerges. A sad attempt at a hero. He plucks a bag from the table of mobile orders. He approaches me. He speaks, "Someone left this on the side". I stare in confusion as I processed this comment standing less than 6 feet from this so called "side". Where no one had been for over 10 minutes. I had been bamboozled. Staring for 15 minutes at an empty grill, unawares that my burgers and poutine were left like i was when my father left to the corner store when I was a child. I clutched at the bag of sustenance, only to realize it had lost its warmth just as I had lost mine that night. Now I sit here, my stomach full of sad patties and a poutine of lies. This may be the beginning of my villain orgin story. Tonight may be the night I lost my faith in The...

I was picking up an order placed by my daughter over the phone. When it was my turn to be served, a young man clearly very impressed with himself, immediately asked me for my order number repeatedly . I replied twice that I don’t have one, he then rudely raised his voice to say “ why not “ ? And gestured me to line up again even though the order was placed 40 minutes prior. To the manager of the burger priest a few suggestions from a business owner who has been dealing with the public for 30 years: 1- you need to familiarize your staff with a few simple words ( Hello, please, thank you, ....), they are routinely used elsewhere with a very high degree of effectiveness. 2- Never raise your voice on a customer because you don’t know your job. Phone in orders don’t have an order number. 3- Not everyone of your customers WHO IS NOT WHITE IS AN UBER DRIVER. A simple “Hello, may I help you “ would’ve fixed the problem. 4- Your staff has to have a minimum. Service industry is 20% skill and 80% ATTITUDE. This young man has neither. 5- it’s a shame that you loose customers for reasons that have nothing to do with quality or price. I live around the corner from your Yonge and Eglinton location but I will never go back to any of your locations. I could have easily give your staff member a piece of my mind but I held back because of the presence of many other customers and...

For the price and location, Burger Priest is amazing.

The staff, Ronan, Jim, and Red are fun and fast. I went there and they accommodated me immediately and suggested an awesome burger. I got Holy Smokes and it's awesome. I had a nice chat with Ronan and Red while I was waiting alone for my burger. Hope to catch Jim, Ronan, and Red next time. You should give me these boys a raise.

I ordered Holy Smokes and it has a double patty and bacon. The patty is pure beef, I can tell by the texture of the patty. The grill was just rightly cooked and juicy. The cook at the time, Jim, grilled the burger just the way I like it. Too bad i already finished the burger before I thought of taking a picture. I also love the fried Jalapenos.

The place is small and simple. It has a fast paced vibe but homey enough to encourage you to dine inside. I like the fun music and the volume is enough to give more life to the place. I hope the place is bigger so I could bring my friends and roommates.

The price of my order is only 12 dollars. Not bad for a freshly grilled double patty, pure beef burger. You can add 6 dollars to add fries and drinks. Still not bad at today's prices.

Overall, I recommend this place 100% and will visit the place or order online if I...
