Burgernator

269 Augusta Ave, Toronto ON M5T 2M1

The menu also features an assortment of sides. If you like theme restaurants, this may fit the bill.

Gangster Burger

Another themed burger spot, this one names their burgers after notorious bad guys. The wide array of burgers, including a veggie option, includes names like The Capone, The Lucas and The Don. Unusual toppings include fried plantain and egg and the tasty hand-cut fries are made from Yukon gold potatoes, dashed with kosher salt.

Burger Shop Bqm

210 Ossington Ave, Toronto ON M6J 2Z9

Pop down from College to Dundas West for one of the top-rated burger joints in town. With locations in Riverside, Roncesvalles, King West, and Little Portugal, it’s not surprising that these hand-crafted patties have made quite a name for themselves. Burgers include the Lamby, served with grilled red peppers, goat cheese and chipotle aioli, the grilled cheese bacon burger, and the BQM namesake burger, accompanied by caramelized onions and horseradish. Drink ‘em down with a signature cocktail (the Lynchburg Lemonade, for instance, features Jack Daniels, Triple Sec, and lime), or one of the many craft beers on tap.
