Honestly one of the best burgers I've had in Toronto... Forget your ridiculous trendy smash burgers and stupid fast food overpriced garbage.... this food is how @ burger should be... delicious, fresh, fast inexpensive really good value and served by a proper dude;)

Formerly legendary - now hit and miss. Have been coming here for a few years because of the low prices, good food and friendly staff. With current ownership there has been significant shrinkflation. Now it is very much hit and miss on both the food and service front (some staff are truly excellent though). Portions had shrunk by about 25% over the past year on many items, but still a decent value meal. Decided to write this after receiving the attached as my fish-and chips meal last night - fish was about 50% of the usual (even last week) and fries were less than 50% of what had already shrinkflated. Box was mostly empty and it used to overflow. Most disappointing visit I've ever had there.

Been there twice now for their Tuesday Fish n Chips. The fish was perfect the first time and a reminder of how rare it is to find good fish & chips in the city. The fillets were overdone the second time, the batter a bit too oily, too crunchy almost as if fried twice, whilst the meat was still chewy, a reminder of how rare it is to find good fish & chips in the city, just the other way round. Pro Tip: Get the onion rings. Nothing like them.

Overall review: Have been at King's a couple of times in different seasons, and it never disappoints my cravings for my favorite burgers. Its always at its top notch taste. Food: I guess almost everything in their menu is yummy and a must try once but for specifics, apart from their Burgers, I would highly recommend their onion rings and haddock. Customer service: Has always been customer friendly and welcoming whenever have been there at different times. Location: Perfectly located with ample space to Dine in. Parking: Adequate free parking(Open Parking) available within it's own Restaurant building.

Amazing place. Tried it out today and got the haddock with chips as well as a Reese's milkshake, Everything was made fresh to order and they don't skimp on the portion sizes. The fish was beautifully cooked crispy and delicious, as well as the fries. Amazing customer service as well. Really nice retro feel inside.

Solid experience all 'round. Burgers are large and juicy. Fries are good... beefeater style. The gravy is beefy and rich... perfect! My milkshake was rich and chocolate-y!! Good value!!

This is an old school burger joint that brings back childhood memories of other places I've been to. I've had the fish and chips here before and they are really good. Today I had a twin cheese burger and fries with rings combo. The toppings are fresh. It's probably one of the best burgers that I have eaten in Toronto. Will definitely be back soon!

Johnny is a champion restauranteur... Why on earth would anybody waste their money at a McDonalds or burger king when for less money you can get a proper home cooked burger with better quality ingredients and a proper char-grilled flavor... Food was fast fresh and absolutely delicious taste like burgers used to taste when your granddad took you to the drive-in...

Charbroiled is hard to find so this place is great. And they serve steak cut fries which is also hard to find these days. And I love that they are old school so I can ask for a banquet burger like I did when I was a kid. The staff is very friendly and service-oriented. I love that they have Coke, not Pepsi. And the prices are so reasonable! I also like the kitschy atmosphere. Parking is a bonus. I don t eat onion rings but theirs are huge and homemade. Gravy is good. Only con for me is that the homemade tartar sauce is just ok. Update: I went during the day (which was a change for me) and the day staff did not use gloves to handle food so I had to take away a star. Parking: They have about 6 spots of their own.

I just visited this place to grab a hot dog to go, and the experience was awful. I was the only customer there, but it still took forever because three employees were too busy discussing who among them was the dirtiest and making disgusting comments about not being clean. To make matters worse, one of them coughed into his hand and then touched the food right in front of me. It was completely unprofessional and unsanitary.

Food is very good. I ordered a take out a fish and chips, 2 extra fish with a side gravy, when i got home I was very disappointed to find out that they forgot to put in the bag the tartar sauce. I was very, very, very disappointed, we had to eat the fish without tartar sauce. This is not the firt time, once before I ordered and payed for a gravy and also they forgot to put it in the bag.

Fun surprise! Fantastic OG fast food but like that place you went to as a kid dating back 59 years. We ordered the cheeseburger ($6.50 what!), onion rings and a banquet dog. 10/10. Far better and more adorable than Harvey s, the McDonald s or A&W down the street. Parking, fast, clean, seating and personable service.

This place is on top notch for me when it comes to burgers in the city, no question. You can taste the quality in the beef and patties are nice and thick. Family ran and lovely service and atmosphere. Why pay for a Macdonalds burger when you can get a real one from Kings that taste 100x better while supporting local, all at the same time. Prices here are also really good. 10/10, absolutely love it and highly recommend it.

Okay, I have been here twice. Once by myself and once with my lady friend. Both times I had the fish and chips and on my recommendation she had it as well. The fish was fresh and perfectly cooked with a batter that did NOT overpower the fish. The chips appeared to be hand cut and were peeled by hand also. IF you want good food and a nice relaxing location to eat it in, I could not suggest a better location. OH, and their pricing is very good.

We ve been coming here for years and always had a great experience with the food and the service. Today however, that s changed. The tea is under new management and the young lady at cash seemed like she would have rather been anywhere else but here. Not rude per se, but extremely unfriendly. We used to get 1 1/2 pieces of fish with the Fish and Chips, now it s barely 3/4 of what it used to be. The side of fries was roughly half of what it used to be and the steak sandwich about 3/4 of its old size. And all this for $38+. To make things worse, the fish wasn t cooked properly. It is now time to say goodbye to King s Drive In.

2023 March 4 Located in what I would call burger alley. Theres many burger joints in the vicinity and at time of writing, 4 on the street within about 15 minutes walking. Step in at Kings, you get this nostalgic feel of a 1950s diner. Colorful enamel style tables, hung retro art and even a cooler the moment you step in. The drive in aspects makes this an easy pit stop to grab a quick bite. The burgers are grilled right in front of you. The onion rings are freshly made and are both very light and crispy yet very thick. Banquet burger $6.95 Bacon, cheese and patty. Toasted bun and toppings as you want. Pretty good! Onion rings $4.95 Oily, but crispy and great. Its expensive at about $1 each ring, but these are thick and the onions are sweet. Would recommend, though 1 is probably enough to share with two people. Definitely worth stopping by.

Hot dog was advertised as including Essential Counter Top Toppings, however I have no idea what that means, and there was no option to select any toppings. Mine arrived completely naked.

This place is quite nice with its variety of offerings. However, being a primarily fish and chips restaurant, I was a bit disappointed with how the fish and chips were not all that special. The quality wasnt as great as a bigger franchise such as Halibut House, when it shouldnt be. There was bone in the haddock I ordered, and the fries were hard to chew and tasted stale. You would think that this place would be renowned for the very thing it specialized in, but I suppose expectations are not always met. The beef burger tasted incredible though, with very delectable patties. Pickles were nice and light. Bacon was a bit tasteless and expensive, so not a recommendation. Milkshake was simply prepared from some premade shakes. It tasted like defrosted ice cream that was super thick and hard to drink. Not great. Overall, there are some hits and some misses here. I did like the look of the location and the whole moat and castle bridge thing going on. The bathroom really needed work though; it looked unsanitary and in desperate need of renovation.

Food is excellent. This would be my go-to place to eat, as long as Im in the area. But what makes a visit memorable, as much as the food, is how the establishment treated you. They were so accommodating and made sure you got what you asked for. It also doesnt hurt that they have a gorgeous staff

I called to ask about seating and payment method and the cashier could barley understand English . Chili cheese dog , the chilli was super dry , the hotdog was good, but they should definitely assemble it. A little chilly first then the hotdogs and a little more on top.. the state they have cheddar but really, it s processed fake cheese tasted weird in the chili dog . The hamburgers also tasted strange like cheap meat. Fries and onion rings were delicious next time I ll try the fried fish .

Burger was a$$

December 22, 2022

Just ordered from Doordash 60 dollars worth of food from here, two burgers and two hotdogs and they came with no toppings at all on any of them! Not even ketchup packets or anything either. Terrible! Beware if you plan to order from them online! Also the photos on doordash for menu items shows them with toppings as well yet no toppings when they arrive.

Kings is a true joint. Or as close to it as youll find in this 21st century. I love the decor, because it resembles the era of my boyhood (50s and 60s.) Comfort in more than just the food. But seriously, I love the drive-in feel, so I drive there, even though Im local. Id drop in for a dog or a bowl of chili, just on a whim. Or grab that car-broiled burger experience, or even splurge on excellent Halibut and fries. One beer hits the spot. I think me and the missus might make it our local treat (along with Salernos and the Thai local. ) One of my favorite things about Kings? When it comes to social friendly - you get back with interest what you put in. I like how that works. And I do so enjoy running into proprietors who understand this concept. Last time in I was even able to track an inning of a Jays game while waiting for my order. The sports bar proviso without the sports bar if you catch my drift. Another nice touch. Thats all for now. Further adventures await. Dont hesitate, and dont be late!

Went for the first time last night and was amazed by the place. Super friendly staff, good and fresh food, and awesome prices! The only thing that I could possibly complain about were the rocky benches but I forgot all about it once I started eating. Fries were nice and soft on the inside but still had a really good crunch to them. Burger was really good, they didn t skimp out on the toppings either! We didn t grab a beer but seeing it was only $2.99 shocked me! Great place, will definitely go again Parking: Was scared there wouldn t be parking but there were a few spots and they were empty!

A nice, simple, diner style restaurant. Great value for money as you can get a solid burger and delicious onion rings for around $12. Staff there are super friendly and very efficient. Arrived with a group of 8 and they were able to get us all food very quickly. Recommend the onion rings which are delicious.

One of the best fish and chips and burgers I have had in a while! The haddock fish and chips were so tasty with the batter being perfect and not too oily! The fries and onion rings are also amazing! We loved the burger and chilli dog as well! The service was amazing and we felt so welcome eating here! I highly recommend King s drive in, service, food, price, taste all 100/10
