When I heard about the line-ups (and disappointment when
patties run out) at the Burger’s Priest, I knew I’d want to try the
establishment, but the hype would have to die down first. Now that multiple
locations have opened across Toronto and even Uber Eats delivers their product,
my desires are fulfilled.
My first bite was into the California classic ($8.87 with an
extra $5.62 for a combo) after an evening of drinking by their Adelaide
location. Luckily, there was no queue (compared to lunch hour) and within
twenty minutes I was biting into a soft juicy meat patty.
The burger was decadent, the relatively thick patty
sandwiched between a buttered and toasted bun resembling grilled cheese bread.
Although the beef patty didn’t have that lovely char and smoky barbeque taste I
love with burgers, there was still a strong beef flavour to make it standout. Containing
cheese, sautéed onion, lettuce and tomato, the burger had all the classic
toppings. However, the “secret sauce” noted on the menu became lost. Altogether,
a delicious burger.
My second experience with Burger’s Priest was a delivery
through Uber Eats from their North York outpost. The wait was understandably
much longer, so long that I was a bit worried the sandwich would arrive cold.
However, the regular hamburger ($6.83) was still warm, albeit the “smoke”
($1.79) or slices of deep-fried panko crusted jalapenos became soggy.
With the regular bun, you could taste the beef patty more
although the burger didn’t standout compared to other premium fast food
eateries – the buttered and toasted bun really makes it special. The four small
rounds of jalapenos was a bit disappointing adding a light heat but no crunch
or smoke.
Their fries, although somewhat expensive to add on, is a
huge portion and can easily be shared. The fresh cut potato is soft with crispy
edges (very similar to Swiss Chalet’s fries) and salty enough that no condiments
are required.
All in all, you’ll get a good meal at the Burger’s Priest, their
product is good. However, would I ever wait an hour to have it? Never … it’s
not that good. Luckily, for you and I, the hype has died down. Long live the
Priest.
