Love you guys so much, also love that you extended your hours, I’d eat here everyday if I could. Best shawarma poutine and chicken burger ever. Hats off to the chef. Everybody deserves a raise
Went in this evening for supper. Ordered our food and noticed that the girl at the front handled all the money with her gloves on and never change them when she went back to prepare the food. Disgusting disgusting disgusting. I don’t know why people in the food industry don’t know how to prepare food Without grossing people out. And for the price that you pay for the food, you would think they would take more care very disappointed in this location on Pleasant St., Dartmouth Nova Scotia
Usually love ordering from here however last night the restaurant ignored my order notes which explained a food allergy and just wrote "sorry" on the box and gave it to us. They knew they made it wrong but still gave it out to customers which is a huge food safety issue.
This was the first time that my friend and I had food from charger. The hamburger was awesome. So tasty. And very big. And the french fries were home fries which I love. So all in all it was a great food experience. The staff were very friendly. We went to the Dartmouth location.
Got spicy tandoori combo. I didn’t like the burger but my girlfriend found it fine. We didn’t like the fries. Seems like they haven’t changed their oil for a while. Tasted like rancid oil. Gave two stars as gf insisted.
The food was AMAZING. The service was very slow, but it appeared there was only one girl working. It seemed as though she was doing it all. Taking orders, payment, cooking and serving. I would def give them another chance. Perhaps someone called in sick last minute.
I recently had an outstanding dining experience at Charger Burger, and I can't stop raving about their delicious halal burgers. Their commitment to using halal ingredients is commendable, and the quality and taste of their food is unmatched. I highly recommend this burger joint to anyone who wants to indulge in mouth-watering burgers and other great eats. However, as a resident of Moncton, New Brunswick, I must say that there is a growing demand for quality halal food options in our area. With a rapidly growing population, there is a clear need for more food establishments that cater to dietary restrictions and preferences. I believe that Charger Burger would be an excellent addition to the Moncton food scene. The quality of their food is unparalleled, and I'm confident that the residents of Moncton would love it. With the recent success of new restaurants and food joints in the area, there is no better time for Charger Burger to expand their business to Moncton. I hope that Charger Burger takes note of the demand for halal food in our community and considers expanding their business to Moncton. I know that many people in our area would love to have access to such high-quality food and exceptional service. So, come on, Charger Burger, let's make it happen!
Is this the best kept secret? This is not your typical fast food joint, but instead a foodie experience. I'll be the first one to admit that from the outside it looks like a regular fast food restaurant, but when you get inside the "not another fast food restaurant" biasing ends. This place makes food in big portions, so get ready to loosen your belt or change into a jogging track suit for some extra comfort because the food is sinfully good. I was blown away with the fact that my burger had real seasoning and the cheese was ....real. What have I been missing? This was real food made to look like fast food, that's the best way to describe it . Maple syrup and BBQ sauce on steel cut fries with a touch of salt and large seasoned chicken tenders? SAVORY !!!!! If you get a chance and are hungry, then I highly recommend this restaurant. Never going back to McDonald's or Burger King or any other fast food restaurant again. Once you get a taste of real food why would you ever want fake food again?
Placed an order via Doordash 40 mins before closing and refused to complete before closing for the day. Never again will we ever try to go here.
The burgers are the best in town. You may have to unhinge your jaw to bite into a couple of them. But they are all fantatastic. Their chicken fingers are amazing (at least the flavors i have tried), and the poutines are really good (chicken shwarma poutine is my recommendation). Hands down, this is my recommended spot for a good burger in Dartmouth.
Ordered food from this place all the time. All the time they make my food late.
Tasty and filling!
Best burger you will ever find
This place has lovely food and their beef is out of this world.
Ordered a meal with my family. Gave our meals to someone else while waiting a half hour. People who took our order then got their replacement order. Meanwhile waiting another half hour. Never coming here again. Terrible service
Totally Awesome Food and Experience!!! Well Worth It... Parking: Disabled parking available Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly food. Chicken strios were amazing...
Their burgers and garlic fries were bang on d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s!!! I just wish they had smaller options for children and keto options. Otherwise, so delicious!
Ordered wings on Uber and got them with barely any sauce
Was craving a very beefy burger,ordered the double mozzarella and wasnt disappointed.. fresh beefy...one of the best i ever had..food quality is way better than a few years ago!
This was a very unpleasant experience. From the 18min wait to the uncomfortable silence you stew in while you wait, I would not recommend. Poor employee didn t seem like he wanted to be there alone, mind you, but with it being dead why would you need two people working at the same time? Shape up or ship out, Charger Burger.
Burger with pineapple was amazing. Young guy working the counter was extremely helpful and hardworking. First time trying Charger Burgers but wont be the last. Food : 5/5
Great tasting burger, fresh cheeseburger tasty
Surprisingly good for a bite when my wife was at Dartmouth General.
Very good food . Staff member was very friendly and professional
Until recently one of my favourite spots. I m assuming someone from management recently told the staff to stop trying so hard because something change in the last visit. Staff are very nice but they need to go back to their old procedures from only about 1 month ago.
Easily the best burgers in Dartmouth ! Charger burger is my jam.
Food
The best
The time I was there the place was dirty , to took awhile to get the food and the food was disgusting I had a chicken burger there and it was not good at all and it was just mostly batter and for the price it s not worth it at all . I would not go there again.
Full delicious taste I love burgers very chilllll Lahori taste I like this
Excellent food and creativity. Destroys the competition by far. Was going to take pics but once it came it looked too delicious to think of anything but eating.
Delicious cheeseburger and poutine. Attentive staff. Highly recommend!
Visited Charger Burger at Pleasant St . The experience was awesome!!!! Amazing food, amazing ambiance, and great service. I ordered Chicken Spicy and Tandoori and Beef Burgers - every burger was juicy and bursting with flavors. The Classic Poutine was a general one, but the Milkshakes were AhMazin!!!! Id revisit again!!!! All the best guys...
Have gone here a few times in the last month, got the Vampire Killer chicken strip basket every time. It is incredible, looks better than the menu picture and is delicious. Great value and the food is fresh and great.
Tried couple of items. I was satisfied with their food quality. Food tastes great.
The food is worth the wait. We got there soon after they opened for the day so the dining room was a bit cold. Have lots of napkins nearby, the burgers are juicy. Dont be in a rush to get your food, this isnt a McD s where its all cooked already. Fresh cut fries!!!
Shawarma poutine is absolutely to die for!! Tried it for the first time tonight and it was so delicious!! :)
Went in, waited 30 minutes for two burgers. Fine, whatever, not that bad. Somehow, they managed to switch our burger preferences. I asked for a bacon beef burger with everything on it, she asked for a cheeseburger with a few things off. They gave us both burgers loaded with everything we asked for to not be on there. We told the worker directly while ordering multiple times what we wanted. $40 for our order, too... And my sister basically couldnt eat her share. Sending this review for her because how do you mess up that bad at that price. Literally went to the McDonalds across the street and it was better. Dietary restrictions: Cannot have mustard
Ordered from Uber and didnt realize that the Thai chicken strip came with pickles on it. If it was in the description I would have added no pickles in special instructions. Update your menus to reflect what is being served.
Best burgers and Fries in town. Prices are very reasonable and the staff is great. Well be back!! Vegetarian options: Same burger combo style same price
Went and got the chicken tandoori burger and got home and opened it up and seen this wow is all i gotta say
Wow thank you blaise for your great soup keep up the good work.Thanks yo.
Great service , ate in and very friendly and the food was fresh and well presented. Hot and flavourful we really enjoyed it! Thanks again!
Worst poutine , no gravy no garlic sauce just cheese only and fries overcooked.
Good burgers and great dipping sauce. I found the onion rings to be generic, like the ones you would buy at the grocery store. I would go with the fries if I were to go back again.
Food was good!! The staff was super friendly. Clean place
One of my favorite burgers! Soooo good!!! Definitely a favorite of my daughters too (maple bacon chicken fingers). Always great service.
Excellent food, had beef burgers fries n chicken sandwich with fries.. was fairly quick n the hand cooked fries were awesome. Store was clean . Staff waa polite and efficient...We definitely will be returning! Dietary restrictions: Am lactose intolerant, and they had no issue removing items I couldnt eat. Very polite staff. Parking: Lots of parking
Excellent burgers. Every time!
Garlic potatoes are to die for.
Very nice place and food was good.
Very disappointed. Was told the food was to die for, it was far from. Spent $53 for 2 meals with mozza sticks and shakes. I got the crispy chicken, it was basicly glorified mcdonalds. My girlfriend got the charger and the most she could say was its okay. To top it off the mozza sticks were little nubs, an inch long at best. For the price definitely not worth it.
Amazing food, Large portions and reasonable prices. Their menu is HALAL. This was 3rd time in the last 4 months that I drove from Moncton to Dartmouth to eat your Halal burgers with my friends. Guys you have a big market to tap here in Moncton.. please open a restaurant here!
Food is 10/10. Nice ambience. Great customer service. Never disappointed by this place. Garlic potatoes are totally worth it. Must try.
The best burger I have had in Halifax
If you like cheese curds but want cheaper prices and better portions this is the place for you!
Tasty. Reasonably quick. What I would expect in terms of cost. Would go back.
Terrible place. There were 2 dead ants in Coca Cola The meat is very tough. If I had the opportunity, I would give it 0! I don t recommend it
Glad we randomly stopped by for dinner. The Hawaiian burger and Spicy Buffalo Chicken Poutine were flavourful, and delicious. Burger was juicy and grilled to perfection. Onion rings were crispy, not too oily. If youre in Dartmouth, this place is a must try!
Shout out to the server Billy, who handled business like a boss. A bit expensive but the food is good.
The food is great
Serves good halal burgers. Highly recommended!
Drive through closed, took forever to get one burger and onion rings. Food was ok, but over 20 dollars for one combo and an extra pop is wild.
Best burger we have had. Check out the menu online, the photos are what you get!! Fries are fresh cut and delicious. 10/10
Best chicken burger Ive had in a very long time
We have had Charger quite a few times and each time it s been great! Last night we tried the shawarma poutine .so very good!
This store is consistently slow and behind on orders and their speed is garbage. If you order from them then expect to get your food approx. 60-90 minutes after ordering. The times I went in were just as bad. 30 minutes for my food and the people there were just slow and lacking in energy every time. The burgers are good, but the horrible wait times and inability for the staff to seem to care make the cost to high. Other great burger shops exist in Halifax who have grasped good burgers at good speeds and friendly. Avoid this place at all costs.
I got a beef bacon burger and fries, and proceeded to get food poisoning. Would not recommend.
By mistake I order beef burger but I dont eat beef but I called before order picked to change my patty to veg but guy lie me that order already send but its still in store
Great burger, juicy with a perfect bun.
The burger I ordered was pretty good. Id go again. Located in a strip mall within easy access to major roads, bank, gas station. Parking: Large parking lot serving several establisments Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps and powered doors
Wheelchair accessibility: Auto door and sidewalk has section with curb taken out Food
Absolutely horrendous experience, waited 30 minutes for 2 milkshakes that are half full and taste horrible. I dont understand how 30 minutes is acceptable for just a milkshake...
Fantastic first experience, will definitely be back
Usually go for the burgers but decide to go with spicy buffalo poutine. It was some good
The best thing I can say it was edible... And that might even be pushing it a bit
Me and my family love to eat gourmet poutine
Seems pricy until you see the portion sizes, this place does not skimp!!
Love the chicken shawarma
Love this place! Everything I have had was better than I thought it would be!! And customer service was tops!! Will definitely be back!!
Amazing experience. Top notch customer service, he even told us about the secret menu options. Quick service, large portion sizes and resonable prices.
I really enjoyed the no meat patties they have, they taste great and they do them up right! The one staff I met was super friendly and polite.
Good burger
Lovely fresh and hot.all freshly made. .good job
The burger was delicious, my only issue was lack of seasoning on the onion rings, although they were very crunchy.
Good food but a bit pricey
Killer burgers and the Buffalo chicken poutine is amazing
Love the food but the staff have been rude at times like today. If a customer is in front of you asking a question, perhaps get off the cell phone?? This is the third bad experience 50/50 track record. I support local business but will be taking my money to other places from now on.
Good menu and prices were reasonable. Would eat there again.
Great spot! The food was excellent, and the service went above and beyond. Handing me my food, the server said, Thats not enough onion rings; Ill bring you more! That attention to detail and initiative makes a big difference. I left with a satisfied stomach and a smile.
Absolutely the best burgers in town! The cheese and cheese bacon burgers are excellent but the Hawaiian burger is on a whole other level! Their beef bacon is so scrumptious that it really makes the burgers into somthing special. I can not recommend this place enough! Try it!
Had a cheeseburger and poutine! Yummy!
Best burgers! Absolutely delicious!
Tried their burger of the week, its good! Loved all the flavours in it. Hmmm tasty!
Food is good but sadly the service is non-existent. Waited 20 minutes for our order only to get home and have half missing then another half hour wait once i got back. So including driving an hour long experience for burgers...just awful meanwhile you can hear the staff fighting in the back. Do not go to the Dartmouth location.
The food was incredible, possibly the best burger I ve ever had. Also incredible customer service!!!! The people were so kind. They brought our food to the table, and at the end came out with a dessert on the house. My husband, toddler and I came here on Mother s Day, so it was definitely near and dear to my heart and made me feel appreciated Would come here a million times over, and plan too!
You will not be disappointed with the food here....large servings of good food...the charger burger is almost too much ...almost .. worth the visit...we will be back
Best place for burgers. Food is bit a oily but very tasty and juicy
Omg if u dont eat here youre missing alot
Great gravy for poutine. Not salty at all. fresh cut fries.chicken tenders were juicy and flavorful but a bit peppery.
Very good homemade food that tastes awesome and delicious! Alittle on the up side of pricing, but well worth it! I recommend you go there and experience the true taste of food!
They never miss, Ive been to every location, its always the same amazing quality.
Excellent burgers. I havent had one that I didnt enjoy. Large serving sizes and tastes delicious. Unique flavour combos makes it very memorable.
Food was great. Hot and delicious. Service was excellent. We will definitely go there again.
Excellent quality for $$$ homemade with great variety of flavors
I had one of the best burgers here that Ive had in quite a long time. Thank you!
The food was great but David made the whole experience awesome!!
The overall look of the exterior is fabulous. They have a drive-thru. Dine in and takeout offered, menu looks phenomenal. I can personally attest that the spicy buffalo chicken burger is delicious! I love the onion rings. The fries. Mmmm-hmmmm. The fries are cut fresh daily, crispy and perfectly salted. *updated* back again and I cant stay away from the spicy buffalo chicken burger pictured with this review!
Order online and pick it up. The text from the store for the amended pick up time is pretty accurate. Good burgers, thick not the thin patties found elsewhere. Fresh ingredients.
Good for a last minute decision, but its not food made with love. The beef burgers are pretty good but the chicken burgers are pretty bland and the grilled chicken patty on one of them was very thin and dry. Also the fries are never good, almost just thrown in as a filler and are always bland and taste of old grease.
Honestly, normally enjoy charger burger. Be it, a bit greasy at times. (Heck, REALLY Greasy compared to the images Ive seen online at least at this location.) However my last time here, the service time was horrible. I waited about 30mins for a Burger, Fries, and Onion Rings. The worst part about it, the lady serving the counter prioritized Dave over everyone else there. There was myself, and 3 others ahead of us, and this Dave character walks in. She gets all chatty and friendly with him, he places his order. One of the other people got their order, then suddenly Dave gets his. Not cool lady working, not cool at all.
Had the Donair poutine. Quality ingredients and nice thick slabs of donair meat in a shoe string format. Really enjoy this one. Long Fries and gravy mixed with the donair sauce and the works was on point. Large size easy to split. Regular is just enough for most people. The owner was a nice treat to meet in person. I think this franchise will do well. Price point has always been great for what you get. Previous reviews: Charger burger was amazeballs. Shawarma poutine was decent. The large size may bit too much for one person to eat however would suit the hungry man pretty easily. Didn t like the sloppy joe poutine way too much pickles and mustard.
Excellent service, very good recommendations. The burgers were delicious. Thank you so much
All burgers and poutine are scrumptious Parking: Ample parking spare for 10 cars Food : 5/5 |
The food is good, but it is expensive.
Food was pretty good!! Servers did their best but very understaffed. The place was kind of falling apart on the inside which was a bit of a let down. Not great for dine in but take it wouldnt be bad.
Saved my brother in laws life from eating to many mushroom burgers everyday
Love coming here, friendly staff and definitely one of the best poutines in halifax. Been here about 5-6 times and was always very pleased
This has to be the best restaurant in Halifax/Dartmouth. Burgers are AMAZING, bathrooms spotless and staff are lovely!!
Food was great a d very fast ,,will definitely be back
Really good Halal crispy chicken burger here. I tried Garlic fries too they taste excellent. Good seating available for dining. Not much crowded.
Had a spicy chicken burger with fries. Crispy, and average quality. Wasnt great, wasnt bad either. Fries were ok. Liked that they are hand cut, disnt like that they were a bit soggy and very under seasoned. Will try more things in the future to see if anything is a bit better.
Great tasting burger and fries. A bit pricey but worth it!
Food was excellent. Hamburger was real homemade hamburger patty about half inch thick. Everything was great.
Staff is very very slow . Even slower than turtle . When asked how long it will take for order to get ready . They said dont know
Delicious burgers.
This is a great place and their burgers are amazing their home cut fries are delicious service is always great and their milkshakes are out of this world a great place to eat so many different Burgers to try
RIDICULOUS burgers! Finally decided to try it and got the namesake burger... Holy shenanigans. Burger was huge. Underestimated fries by the bag size, but a very nice portion. My wife had doubts and it got me set for disappointment, but we were both very surprised and pleased. Staff felt like burger joint staff, but the food was well prepared despite that and being the closing half-hour.
I was a little hesitant to try Charger Burger due to the price - averaging $7-$11 for a burger by itself is pricy and adding fries is an additional $5. I ordered the cheeseburger instead of chancing one of their fancier burgers and have to say I was impressed. Their burgers are HUGE and handmade, topped with fried onion, pickles, tomato and lettuce. The beef patty has a good flavour and is seasoned with a variety of spices. This threw me off a little as Im used to having the majority of flavors come from a lightly seasoned beef patty and letting the toppings and extras do the rest. However, it was delicious! The bun is big and holds onto the burger well, and does not fall apart of slide in the eating process (huge win!!). The fries are delightfully cooked and still have skin on them. Theyre crisp and delicious!
Really great tasting food
Good food.
Best place to have some poutines.
Awesome as always.
Pretty decent burgers. Best chicken burger and chicken finger ever had. Even kids agree. We go out of our way to go there.
Great burgers and staff. Feels like a fast food joint, so it may be upsetting to some that an order can take 10 minutes, but its good food for a decent price.
Sooo good!!
Excellent food
Poor service and slow
Very good food, hot and spicy
Nice! All hilal good. Good taste
It was the best I recommend the charger burger
Went here because A&W was closed for reno - glad we did! My partner loved his cheese burger and said the bun was incredible. I had the Thai chicken finger bowl and I have to say those were the best chicken strips Ive ever had. Juicy breast meat and the breading was so crispy. The bowl had a great balance of flavours and I would def recommend it again. The fries were top notch as well. They had a balcony to sit outside and the cashier even offered to bring out our food when it was ready. New fave place!
The Building itself is dated but the food is A1
First time there and food was great . Crispy chicken burger fries and great onion rings.
Absolutely lovely service and really good food!
Hands down the best burger in Canada . I highly recommend the mushroom burger . Flavor in ever bite good to the very end leaving you wanting more but too stuffed to do so . le yum
Best burgers & poutine. Service is good. Food is really good. Dine-in area is good. Chicken burgers are really good. Highly recommend.
Decent food. Waited way to long.
YUMMY!! Great mushroom melt burger and delicious onion rings. A little pricey, but worth it.
Yummy and filling. One burger and poutine was enough for two people in my opinion.
The best thing is HALAL. Had beef bacon and cheese burger. The taste was good, definitely recommend.
There food is very good
Pathetic place to eat and order. Unethical and arrogant staff. No customer service at all.
good food slow service
Awesome. I had bacon cheese burger and onion rings. Not cheep, but goood.
Great burger, excellent service and good selection.
The burgers were delicious, service excellent.
Had the Burger Week burger, Tropical chicken. Took it to go and ate it in the ferry terminal parking while watching the harbour. Good food and view.
This place makes really great burgers. Thick, juicy and flavourful. But it s pretty difficult to get one. I think they are understaffed, which is unfortunate. The sign says there s a drive-thru, but there isn t. Every time I ve gone in there is no one working the counter, and you have to wait till someone wanders out from the back kitchen to take your order. The last time I went in it was madness, Uber and Dash drivers coming in, picking up food and going, other people stopping in to get their online orders, and a bunch of dine-in people randomly getting their food, a bit at a time. I waited about 15 minutes and no one offered any service, so I left. Too bad, cause the burgers are fantastic.
Amazing burger, butva bit too greasy for my taste. lackluster onion rings, but friendly service and a diverse menu.
Excellent burgers. Fair prices.
Got the Hawaiian burger the other day all I could taste was onions and I couldn t taste pineapple very average
These guys have awesome burgers, combo fries slash poutine are wonderful.
Food was not at all good because the fries were fried for the second time and they were not fresh .The staff didn t had the sense to talk .
This is a new restaurant so we thought lets try it. The Reno got seemed cheap and lazy on the old building. The bathrooms were falling apart and there were water damaged ceiling tiles. It was busy and we ordered. Im kind of annoyed because the cost of a combo was actually more than if we had ordered all the items separately. Thats not on the cashier, thats on corporate. It took 30 minutes to get our food, people who ordered after us got their food first. Im pretty certain thats related to the veggie patties we got which were good, but the extra wait cause we ordered them wasnt. The French fries were okay, the garlic potatoes were very good, and the milkshake was about what you would get at a McDonalds. Overall, just not particularly impressed. Staff were working their hardest. I think this is owners cutting corners and not paying enough to have a full set of staff.
the chicken poutine as a takeout and what a twist. It s a must! Was so good I barely stopped to take a pic.
Wow! Yummy, delicious, tasty food. I love it
Great place Dont let the fast food look on the outside of the building fool you!! These are simply awesome burgers!! Made with real NS beef!!! These are not cardboard burgers like you get at some places!! No names mentioned!!! Plus they are served with cheer!!
Very rude on phone and bad customer service.
Ordered poutine, a burger and mozzarella sticks. Poutine came out cold, burger was sub par (bun was hard? How the heck does that happen??) And the mozzarella sticks were fresh BUT were over priced, they were bite sized mozzarella sticks at 1$ a piece. And the wait was about 20 minutes to get all that, they did apologize for the wait which is ok but the long wait with cold food is not good. Will not be coming to this location again.
Love this place! Ever since Cheese Curds has gone down the crapper this is my new go to place. Cheaper and better! Staff was 300% more friendly and food was better.
Had the cheeseburger,
Amazing food especially Thai fiesta, filled with habanero s and spicy taste s so good
Amazing burger and fries.
