    I was ready for a bullshit list, but this guy is pretty spot on. That Cubano’s cheeseburger is fantastic.

    Jabs is really good and he’s right, the guys there are super nice.

    Apple fritters on the fall weekends are delicious too

  3. canuck_93

    That’s a really good list, and of course Friday Burger itself is top tier in my opinion too.

    The problem with these lists is that nobody ever visits Zeal Burger! It’s the location that kills it, Weston rd and Lawrence. But the mini zeal burger with jalapeño mayo is the best burger I’ve had in the city.

  5. This is very close to my own list, tho he leans into the smashburgers a bit too hard. I would have had big trouble in there.

  6. JABS is great, I’d personally rank it higher than Cabano’s but both are great.

    Imo the best burger joint is the cheap, non-chain burger place, closest to your home

    I tried Friday for the first time recently and it didn’t strike me as anything special. I’m gonna give them another shot before final judgement.

    It’s rigged if Real McCoy isn’t on the list.

    Missing Big Trouble, it’s my fav smash burger in the city, closely followed by Jabs (and Cubano and Burger Drops next to it)

    Haven’t looked at the list but it should have Wren and Bodega Henriette.

    More places for my wife and I to try out. I’ve only had Holy Chuck from the list and can’t wait to try out the others.

    wonder how much this guy ponied up to get so much press lately

  15. BigBeanBoy

    Pretty crazy Mattys isnt on here or Rudys.

  16. dooodads

    Love cabanos, even their chicken burger is on point. Clean, not greasy, well executed, no excess.

  17. IH8Trumps

    How are there 2 burgers over $28 on this list…. Burgflation

  18. needaburnerbaby

    Putting JABs above burger drops makes no sense at all

  19. Baciandrio

    I have no idea why he didn’t invite me to tag along…..burgers are my go-to.

  20. garagetwothree

    No Matty’s ? Haven’t found many places that will do a medium rare burger in the city

    Not listed and they since closed down due to COVID and a fire, but Museum Tavern did have a legit double cheeseburger as well.

    Out of the ones on the list, only one I’ve had is Holy Chuck’s, but they are pretty fucking legit. Gotta give the other ones (and other ones not listed) a try.

    Gladiator burger if you’re in Scarborough
