  1. Been a few years since I last had one of these. Got it done medium and it was pretty damn good and juicy though I think I’d probably have enjoyed it even more medium rare. The patty and toppings are truly fresh and high quality. It’s definitely still top tier even if a bit pricey. Patio was already packed when we got there so we sat inside but I’ll be back this summer to chill outside and try something else on the menu or the daily BBQ. If anyone has any favorites or recommendations for other stuff to try here, I’d love to hear it.

    Looks delicious! I don’t often go to the east end but they have some great little spots!

    Side note: is that a Caesar salad in the background?

    They’ll cook your patty any way you like. _ANY_ way.

    Do they still have that amazing giant tree on their patio???

    Ahh Allen’s. One of the few spots serving great burgers long before Toronto’s burger scene exploded. Glad to see they’re still doing their thing

  8. I’ve been looking for a burger like this! Tired of the smash burger clones every other shop is doing.

    Looks like Allen’s burger stole a piece of your heart! Can’t wait to hear your summer adventures.

  10. 20$ for a burger? I don’t care how good it is, sorry but fuck that.

    Go to a less well known Greek diner like, Chew Chew’s or Golden Diner and get a banquet burger for 8$.

    Is this the same Allens that was by the dome many years ago ?
