The Burger's Priest

We are a classic cheeseburger joint. We grind a custom blend of ultra premium beef. Our beef is always fresh. We cook our cheeseburgers on a flat top griddle not on a charcoal broiler. We believe in purity, simplicity and over a hundred years of grilling and grinding techniques.

I always take pictures when I visit a new restaurant but with this restaurant I did not do that because I can not wait to do that .The burger has a delicious meat and soft bun .I love it so much

Michelle Kauntz

You can get the Vatican Bun on all the burgers as well as make any burger a single or double patty. If you like sugar, make sure to ask for the specialty milkshake - The Coffee Crisp!

Kyo Song

What happened? Burgers got noticeably smaller. Used to be worth paying a premium for but now...

Kyo Song

Vatican City , double cheeseburger between two grilled cheese buns :)

Ozge Y

Burger is amazing, with many calories obviously. Small place, accepts only cash . Not suitable for long dinners , just a very delicious bite!

Edward Chan

Burger 's Priest.... what can I say. All my life I was not a believer in burgers but this heavenly place has opened my eyes and converted my beliefs. Best Burger Ever.

Porter Airlines

Despite the name, this classic American cheeseburger joint offers up some sinfully delicious grub. Go for the classic Double Double with a side of chili cheese fries and the chocolate chip cookie .

Nicole Burley

Ignore the naysayers! Check out The High Priest (go google the secret menu ).. Come on down! Bring cash or make the guy in the variety store next door on the ATM fee... Come hungry, but not on Sundays!

Kevin Killackey

If you want the "Vatican City " (standard: 2 grilled cheese sandwiches and 2 cheeseburger patties) but want to live to tell the tail: ask for Vatican City "single" = 1 patty only and $3 cheaper! Kevin

Metro News

Unholy goodness! The Priest keeps it straight-forward and simple — plain white buns , fries , few gourmet frills. Go for "The Option," with panko-crusted, cheese-stuffed portobello . Read more

Natalie T.

If you don't want two patties for the "high priest " ( their version of a big Mac), you can get the "low priest" which is one patty. Smart!

Ilya Rudominskyi

Really like the burgers here. For me the place which you really need to visit once to understand how the real burger taste like.

Ricky Sherrill

The best burger I have had had in a long time. Great chili fries too. Will be my first stop the next time I am in Toronto.

Adam BA

Get the 4X4, if you don't, you're soft... or maybe just "the option". <aclass="entity url"rel="nofollow" href="http://mycitylives.com/#!/video/toronto/the-great-toronto-burger-chase---part-2---the-burger-s-priest/4e5d9d663cef91fd0c0000f3"target="_blank" data-sig="GYmn0YuTc5MfhYcXl9wO/AMPeVs=" onmousedown="fourSq.ui.OutgoingLink.mousedown($(this), event)" data-source="tip-text">http://mycitylives.com/#!/video/toronto/the-great-toronto-burger-chase---part-2---the-burger-s-priest/4e5d9d663cef91fd0c0000f3</a> Read more

Will Robertson

The original location! Go here to see where it all started with some great fresh burgers and fries

jade

Try the Holy Smoke - Yum! TWO patties on a simple McDonald-like bread with deep fried jalapeño #secretmenu so worth the bike ride :)

👑 Caspar Yue

Still my go-to choice for a burger in Toronto . The perfect burger you ask? Smoked Cheeseburger Vatican Style. No questions.

Sara B

Blue Steel was an excellent melt in your mouth goodness; blue cheese and burger is a perfect combination, :-)

Ian Macintosh

Best burger in Toronto . Freshly ground beef seems to be the key. Chili fries are a meal on their own. Plan on Take-out as there is only room for 6. "The Vatican" burger if you dare.

Joshua Cooper

Savour every bite. Too easy to scarf one of these burgers down without paying close attention to all the flavour.

Robert D

Idk why people say it's the best burger place in the city . People at coxwell and O'conner is way better hands down.

Victoria Poop

If I wasn't hungry afterward it would be different, but 11$ for the Vatican and all you taste is beef , processed cheese and white bread . Pretty much Mcdonalds quality without a place to sit.

Natasha Cohen

MUST HAVE a Vatican style priest... it's not even on the secret menu , but it will change your life!

the BREL team

Check the extensive "secret" menu online before ordering, and split a single order of fries between two people--it's more than enough!

Ryan Calvelo

Have the best of both worlds and get "The Priest". The breaded portabello mushroom stuffed with cheese is enough for the burger without getting additional toppings.

Tony Chen

The Option (plus anything) is unbeatable. The beef patties are super fresh. Check their Facebook for additional menu items!

Mark Baker

This is a cash only establishment. They have a bank machine inside but you're better off skipping the machine's $2 service charge. Come with cash in yo pocket so you don't have to hit their machine.

Henry Seven

Try the Vatican City , two grilled cheese as buns around a fantastic Burger .

Corina Hitchcock-Spicer

Name is appropriate since I said "oh my god" when I bit into their delicious cheeseburger . Best burger in Toronto - please open a west end location!

Isaac Wilson IV

Yes, they have a secret menu . Yes, it's just as amazing as the regular menu. Yes, you would be seriously remiss not to find it.

Brent Kobayashi

Round 1 goes to Five Guys over at Warden and Eglinton. Will return for The Option and The High Priest . Was a cool little place with a good vibe.

Maxime Beland

Super good burger . But you can't eat there. But if you cross the street and go behind the Harvey's there are sone pick nick tables.

Mitch

Definitely try the double bacon cheeseburger . Fries are enough for two with the burger ! Enjoy!

Razib A.

Honestly still one of the best burger ... Vatican with holly poppers !

Robert Moggach

Good burger - Big Smoke is still my favorite but this is a good beaches alternative.

Edmond Ayvazyan

Any of their burgers are awesome. They use fresh beef and they are made right in front of your eyes. Great food!

Burgers like Shake Shack in NY, fries like In-n-Out. The Priest is a deep-fried mushroomy cheesy burgery winner, just like the Shack Stack.

TOFoodReviews

Burger 's Priest: Delicious burgers cooked medium, soft buns , homecut skinny fries , unpretentious and welcoming space. 5/5

Nate Cordery

And on the seventh day God rested. But before he did, he created Burger 's Priest and saw that it was good. Very good.

Aaron

The priest doesn't take plastic. Cash only , so be prepared. Worth a visit if just visiting.

Ajoy Pinto

Try The Priest burger ... Also, if you're not a fan of lineups you can call your order in prior and go pick it up

Tony Tedesco

The Vatican! Double cheese burger between two grilled cheese

Geoffrey Wiseman

Double double. Don't overdo the toppings. Just enjoy the taste of a crisp outer layer, moist insides and gooey cheese .

Christian Bautista

Order the Vatican... Or if they have it, the Holy Priest. Bring your appetite, you'll need it.

laura hart

Check out the secret menu on their website before going in!

Obadiah Poundage

Try something from "You Gotta Eat Here!": The Vatican City , Religious Hypocrite, or Red Sea

Scott Duffy

Small place. Juicy burger . Even the Option was delicious.

Min

If you love Cali-style burgers , BP does it right. Fresh, ground in-house. Not mind-blowing but it's a burger - more than decent for a $10 meal.

Domenic Lombardi

Burgers are excellent but Fries are to soft which tells me they have not changed the Oil - you need an Oil change - this has happened before not good
