Magoo's in Etobicoke

Everything (food, staff, environment) is perfect....

I have had a lot better nothing special the fries are bla and overpriced same with the burger over priced

Great local place.

Ive been going here for years, and nothing has changed. The food is still quality, and the service is friendly

I ve been coming here since I was a kid and my dad has been coming here since he was in highchool. I ve had a lot of burgers but magoo s will always be my go to.

Great burgers, unique toppings, really nice people working there

visiting the area from the states. great little restaurant to grab a bite to eat. friendly employees!

West-end Burger Nazi : Know What You Want to Order Before Stepping Through the Door Looking at the other non 5-star reviews, most negative reviews are coming from new customers who inherently do not know what to order... I m a new customer. I walked in with my 5-year old excited to scarf down some freshly made burgers as we were shopping next door at the toy store. I found the whole ordering process to be unforgiving: A) employee taking pre-orders was curt and gave me cut eye for asking for time to look at the menu; b) ordering at the till: experience was slightly better, but no instructions to simply wait until your name is called led me to just hang around clogging up the aisle; c) Toppings: the lady that put our burgers together was an unhappy robot zero emotions and zero ****s given. When we finally got our food it looked good. We sat down amongst the other patrons, and had a conversation with a newly retired couple sitting next to us that had been coming here for years. The patrons were much friendlier than the staff. The place seemed to be full of regulars...knowing how it all worked. I d give this place a higher rating, but it s pretty clear they don t want new business ...rather, they re simply happy to entertain the neighborhood regulars.

One of the all time best Burgers in Toronto! Been going for over 25 years!

Real burgers in real time.The aroma alone will fill you up.

Man, it doesn t matter how many new burger joints open, I always find myself back at Magoos for over two decades. Can t thank the staff and owners enough. Simply amazing. Thank you!

This place has a lot of hype for mediocre burgers. Went for my first time yesterday and a burger with fries and a pop was over $20. I asked for a cheeseburger but the cheese was simply a topping rather than melted on the burger. I regret having payed extra for cold shredded cheese on my burger. The fries were soggy and not tasty at all. Don t think I will be back and Apache is a better option if you are in the area.

A quick and delicious burger

A classic place for outstanding burgers! We keep going back and back and back .

Yum

6 oz burger w cheese was really good and generous. I wish the cheese was melted on the burger rather than added as a condiment, but outside of that, it was really satisfying. Fries are on point. Whole place has a 50s vibe with nostalgic tunes playing. Service is heartful. Really enjoyed this place.

We grabbed takeout for 7 people and everyone loved the food! The ordering was easy, pleasant and relatively fast. Magoo s is an Etobicoke institution for a reason - the food and the service is fantastic!

I miss reasonably priced food. $28.00 gets you 2 burgers and 1 side of fries in this god forsaken city. They dont accept Amex while charging these prices and $1.50 for half a scoop of shredded cheese lol. Its a decent burger but I feel hosed everytime I go.

If you want a hamburger or chicken sandwich, this is where you find it. Family owned friendly careful quality.

Great burgers.

Really good, seems to be a classic.

Loved it. Old school burger joint. Great fries and cooked/topped to order !

Family owned, always fresh.

Food is always great and the staff is always friendly and happy retirement Mike and Karen

Great burgers, and fries, the spicy fries are great. The staff is also quite friendly. Probably one of the best burger joints in the city.

Best burgers!!

One my favorite burger joints! Thanks Magoos team!

Came to Etobicoke for work and stumbled across Magoos. These guys know how to make a good burger! I had the Magourmet 6oz with Magoo Sauce on both sides, and it was fantastic! They even serve Kawartha Dairy, which is another huge plus

Neighbourhood staple. Delicious and top quality. Never change !

Alfalfa sprouts. Topp. Ample free parking.

I came to Magoo s after a recommendation from my girlfriend. I was sick of the smash burger craze circulating the city. I was pleased to find that not only do they have great customer service but also cook a classic 6oz burger Ma Goo Goo Burger with all the fixings. The owner is very friendly and the staff are great. I live across the city and have made the trip several times just to get my fix! 5/5

Hidden little gem burger place in a strip Mall on Dundas. Best burger 4oz topped with peameal bacon. Cooked to perfection, folks. Wonder in and absolutely enjoy. Ps dont forget your Dads root beer with it.

Straight up old school, feel good burgers! And the only place on the Kingsway Im stopping to by to grab a bite. Poutine and Magoo Chili Fries are also very good!

Always hits the spot with fantastic burgers. Top 10 in toronto for sure

Good burger+great service.

This place has many niche options for your burger such as alfalfa sprouts and brushetta which is great. Overall it was pretty good, although a bit dry for the burger itself

Has the best burger toppings in town. Turns that mystery burger meat gourmet. Place is always clean. Always fresh. That s why I m a regular.

Everything is fairly good here. You cant go wrong by coming here to enjoy a burger.

Was a little disappointed in my burger. The texture of the burger was more like a sausage than fresh ground beef. I should have gotten fries because they looked great.

One of the best burgers around awesome staff

Favourite burger joint in town. Fantastic quality of meat, stellar customer service, amazing old school diner vibes, and unique gourmet toppings. I have been coming here for well over a decade and Magoos is always consistent. Thank you to all staff for keeping this beauty of a gem rolling! Highly recommend!

I respect this burger joint it has that old school feeling when you enter the staff were amazing I would come back again

Pedestrian burger. Suggestion would be to season the patty with something. Good selection of toppings and fries are decent. Decor needs some work. For a local burger joint, I say its a spot for a quick bite bit not off the charts. I suggest the larger burger as the smaller one is a bit more dry after cooking. People here are great and friendly.

Get the 6oz burger with fries. So good!

Fresh tasty burgers. Great assortment of fresh toppings. All good. Recommended!

Never fails to satisfy

Been getting a 4oz burger and fries here for years. While others come and go Magoos is here to stay!

So fra the best burguer in Toronto, fresh ingredients and a great service

The best burgers in town since I was a kid. I recommend a Gourmet with a side of spicy fries.

I came here for picking up skip order staff is very rude .

My wife and I thought wed go out and try it since we just moved in the neighborhood and the only bad thing I have to say is they say ground beef and it is patties and we are not much for the patties was looking forward to homemade burgers

Great Burgers, Fries and milkshakes.

Best burger place in Etobicoke. Family owned and operated, comfortable vibe, excellent quality ingredients and made with good old fashioned style passion. A neighbourhood staple.

Magoos Handmade Hamburger restaurant on Dundas Street in Toronto is a true gem. The family-run establishment has been serving delicious burgers and gourmet hot dogs since 1987, and they truly know how to make a great burger. One of the things that sets Magoos apart is that all of their burgers are handmade with care. The beef is fresh and juicy, and the toppings are always fresh and flavorful. I had the pleasure of trying the classic Magoos burger, which comes with lettuce, tomato, onion, and Magoos special sauce. It was absolutely delicious, and the bun was perfectly toasted. The gourmet hot dogs are also a must-try. They come with a variety of unique toppings, including bacon and avocado, and they are cooked to perfection. The restaurant also has a variety of ice cream flavors that are perfect for dessert. The atmosphere at Magoos is classic diner, and its a great place to grab a quick bite or to sit down and enjoy a meal with friends and family. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the prices are very reasonable. Overall, Magoos is a fantastic place for a tasty, satisfying meal. Whether youre in the mood for a classic burger or a gourmet hot dog, youll find something delicious at Magoos. Highly recommend it!

Used to go here many years ago for burgers - they were great back them and still are today ! Super friendly service and they have ice cream too. A must try if youre in the neighborhood !

Best burger in etobicoke! We love you guys and have been coming around since I was a kid! Prefect every time Food : 5/5

Really great little spot makes you feel like family. The burger was very fresh and the fries were crispy on the outside and soft inside. Would definitely return!! Kid-friendliness: The staff were very sweet to my 3 year old. There are many tables and chairs and they have highchairs.

In my Top 3 burgers, love the fresh mixed cheese, & bruschetta on my burger, the service is excellent and so are the fries.

Great burgers, beef, veggie & chicken. Local family owned and operated.

Been going to magoos for 4 years now my boyfriend the one who brought me there the food is always FRESH omg we go every Wednesday for a cheatmeal I love it the staffs are welcoming and very nice it s expensive but what your paying for is worth it I swear I m always satisfied thank you

Bland beef. Not the best customer service. Toppings look fresh tho. Reminded me of Harvey s but not as good.

I ve been many times over the years. I must say it s my favourite burger place Consistency and reasonably priced really milkshakes are a favourite of mine too seeing as they make from the real ice cream many of my friends go too. I would definitely be dropping by soon

This place hasnt changed a bit in over 15 years between visits. Same great tasting food that brings back past memories.

Great burgers. Such amazing flavour. Fries, onion rings and ice cream all delicious. Kawartha Dairy? Yummmm

Best burgers around with friendly staff. Dining room is noisy and could be cleaner.

Magoos is by far the best burger joint in the west end. I ve been going to Magoos since day 1,always friendly service, good is always fresh,condiments areas always emaculently clean!! Although I do agree with some about the fries rings portions the burger makes up for it...,and seriously how many friggin Fries/rings you need?? Stop being a ziggy piggy!! lol. For $12.88 tax in you get a 6oz combo with cheese and a fountain drink with all the toppings you want!!...great thing about Magoos is their consistency! Over 30 yrs and every time I ve eaten there(easily over 150+ times over the years and I ve never been disappointed!! The twin brothers and their awesome sister are always friendly... once they meet you once they never forget you!! Love it! Keep up the great work Magoos!! Glad there is only one Magoos! PS don t believe the negative reviews. You can t please everyone!!! Always going to be a few that the best is just not good enough! I ve known the brothers and sister since high school days and can tell you 100% they care and take great pride in serving a good meal!! About pricing. People complain meanwhile they go to McShit and pay the same or more so give it a rest. Everything is higher prices now. Thank the government for that. Don t take it out on family run businesses. Support them!!!! Sincerely- one happy customer!

Amazing

Best hamburger I had in a long time hangs off to the cooks !

Will try to be quick, Cashier didnt know the pricing of the combos or extras, tall girl dressing the burgers actually was yelling at us, Ketchup, Mustard, Mayo, Relish. Was so weird and rude. Actually, we almost left at that point. Place has all hard surfaces, nothing to absorb the loud service staff. The bun was soggy and doughy. Triply Yuck. Never going back. Pass on by to a better burger joint. HTG, if you want loud and rude service, this is the place to go.

Amazing Burgers and service. Old school diner feel

These burgers were fantastic will be back again

I love the vibe in here. The fries & the veggie burger were dry, unfortunately. Otherwise I d so be back. I love juicy burgers even when they are veg and really crispy yet soft inside, fries. The space is like an old school diner which I m into! I d go back for the milkshake, haven t tried it yet!

Good food and friendly staff

Do you like burgers and try it all from other places and still something missing? Well, you have to try this place and when you try you will love it. All made to perfection. Joshs are making this place more like you are the family. I just love you, thanks Suzy

They dont know how to talk to a person. No Manners Service

I took my grandson to this place for some ice cream. We received a thimble of ice cream for over $3. It was so unsatisfying that we went to Dairy Queen right afterwards.

The manager i think A guy is so rude to delivery drivers Service

Amazing

Best Hamburger restaurant

Cool place. Didnt take any pics.

Very slow

Always fresh, always tasty.

It always great experience to go their

The 8oz burger was the bomb! Will definitely come back to try the fried and ice cream

Odd little place. Tasty. Was concerned by the medium rare burger. Not sure if it was intended to be that way. Didnt have time to throw it back on the grill.

I love coming here! Its a family tradition thats been going on for decades, and your family will love it, too! Im all about recognizing that, for what it is, a home-style burger from a non-corporate burger chain with people who remember you from last time is a precious thing in this world, and being a patron allows that tradition to continue. Sure, you can get a fancier burger somewhere else for $399.99, but if you just want a good burger with fries and a milkshake, and youre in Etobicoke, then go to Magoos! Kid-friendliness: There are high chairs

Hidden gem. The staff are amazing people that really care about the quality and their customers

Best burger in town Parking: On Dundas Street West near Royal York Recommended dishes Poutine, Magoo Sauce Parking space

Not sure why this establishment doesn t offers veggie burger combo when the price between veggie burger and 4oz burger is 10cents . Doesn t seem fair or right for folx trying to make better choices.

The Staff has always been super friendly in the 20 years ive stopped by this place. The food wont disappoint. I have to come back again soon. If i lived closer i would come more often.

Very nice place with good food!

Phenomenal service, great atmosphere and unbelievable prices! Can t wait to come back, my family enjoyed it very much, 1st time here.

Service was great. The people behind the counter were all very friendly and polite. The burgers and fries were fantastic. No complaints! Well done :)

Overall okay experience. The burger tasted okay but it did not impress me. The beef patty was well season and juicy. I just felt like the burger bun was too dense. I liked that they had several toppings to choose from. In a way, similar to Harveys. Its a little pricey. I just got a burger with cheese and paid approx. $10.30.

Best restaurant has a great decor and design I recommend anyone to go here just for the burgers alone

Delicious food and wonderful staff. This place is historical check it out if your in the area.

A classic burger joint in Etobicoke!

We ordered take out from here today - burgers are delicious! Very courteous, helpful and friendly staff.

Best place on Etobicoke for hamburger

Excellent service, yummy food.

The staff was amazing to deal with, the place was very clean and well kept. The cook himself was very kind and proud of his delicious food. Priced to match the quality of food for sure. First time my buddy and I tried and well definitely be back. Thank u.

Just awesome!

Fantastic burger and fries

best food iv ever had,cant wait to get back there for the chilly frys,and 6oz,it been over 12 years,seen iv been there,but cant stop thinking about there great food and prices.

Simple and good. Love it!

Nice place for a quick lunch. Their chicken burgers are great!!

Excellent milk shakes.

Perfect, classic burger, fries, and gravy. Friendly staff, premium toppings.

Amazing cozy place with tasty burgers!

Real burgers made to order!

Really nice place to have dinner, Really friendly staff and great food.

Best homemade burgers and fresh meat condiments etc. THE BEST BUGERS IN ALL OF TORONTO!!!!

Delicious burgers and fries! Only complaint = they dont use cheese curds in their poutine!

Hidden gem for outsiders in the area. Highly recommended that you all check it out.

This is the place if you want a real hamburger in Toronto, this is the place!

Very good burgers

The food is good. The local feel is better. They offer guacamole as a topping and didn t charge us extra. They also carry Dad s soda!

One of the best homeburgers Ive had in Toronto.

Best burger by any standard

First time visiting Magoo s. I enjoyed it a lot. The menu is small, but what they serve they do an excellent job at. The staff were awesome, great energy very friendly. The food was very enjoyable. A Word of caution, they are very generous with the toppings so pick wisely. I ll definitely be back. I highly recommend Magoo s.

Good burgers, service is ok. Fries are good topping are good Parking: Ample parking

Food amazing. Fast service. ALWAYS GOOD!

This is truly a phenomenal place. The food is very good but the people behind the counter are even more amazing. They had the patience and interest to tell me about each topping and the menu item I was interested in, including what the ingredients were.. it seemed like a beautiful family run place. A real hidden gem. I got the vegetarian veggie burger and poutine fries. The wonderful, older, lady behind the counter clarified to me that the brown gravy wasnt beef. A really interesting topping for the burger were sprouts, absolutely stunning and crunchy and healthy. I wish they had another outlet closer to downtown. Definitely gonna go out of my way to get food from here. Vegetarian options: They have a veggie burger with Soy based patty, which tasted really great. The poutine fries with the brown gravy doesnt contain beef which makes it another vegetarian option Parking: Easy, strip mall like parking right in front of the store.

Food is good, a bit high pricedc

First time at magoos and it was like walking into an old school licks burger joint when they were around and they even have a ice cream parlour! Great burgers! All ingredients were fresh and it was super tasty! Next time It will be with the family to have the full ice cream / burger experience

Best burger in the West End

This is like the old fashion burger place. I took my son here for his birthday dinner along with my daughter. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The place is clean and tidy, well lite and well maintained.

Asked for new plastic cup for ice cream because my daughters one felt on the ground. Man from the grill was very upset and not pleasant at all.

This place has been a true classic since I was a child. I still find myself coming back here since the days of my childhood coming here for lunch when I was in middle school. Essentially nothing has changed. Although prices have increased over the years I think this place offers a quality meal. Dont think I will ever stop coming to this place.

Love the homemade magoo sauce

Good food, excellent service and staff

Have to say, been a customer for years. The quality has gone down hill quite a bit. Burgers have no flavour anymore, just finding it blah. Staff always incredible. This is just super disappointing.

Goonie fries were greasy meat on fries...no chili flavor Burger was ok

I love Magoos. I was there opening day and it has been consistently great everyday since. Freshly made, hand-made, top quality burgers and fries. Food

Decent burger for a decent price

Still amazing

One of my fav go too places

Great burgers

I ve been coming here since 87-88 when my dad used to take me here as a kid for burgers. I moved out of that part of the city but I come back every year at least once. Place hasn t changed. Quality is still top notch. Burgers are actually grilled, real milkshake machine in the back, friendly staff, perfect place to go with the family or for a post joint snack. I hope to be coming here in another 20 years. Thank you.

Been going for years. One of the best burger joints in the West end. Pro tip: order magoo sauce on the side and dip your fries.

Delicious! Been coming here since I was a little kid and it never disappoints.

Love freshness My mom constantly craves these burgers Food

Nothing crazy about this place. Burger was boring 17$ for a burger with bacon/cheese + an order of fries.

Fast friendly service. Limited menu but the food is good and delicious. Love that it s back bacon on the burger. Lots of milkshake flavours to satisfy any request!

Basic taste. Probably, just good enough if youre hungry. But for the price, Ill go to five guys or similar places. Its probably getting the 4-5 stars being a Vintage community fast-food.

I have been a Magoos regular for about 15 years. It is a nice family run outfit with tasty burgers and fries et al. My son really likes the shakes and the wife likes the chicken sandwich. I like having the choice of several different cheeses for my usual 6 oz. cheeseburger order. The prospect of the tasty menu choices keeps us coming back! Finally, Ive noticed that customer service in most establishments has taken a step backwards during the covid pandemic. But not at Magoos; in fact, there has been a marked improvement in what I thought was already excellent customer service. I tip my hat to the team at Magoos. Bravo and keep up the great work!

Great food, friendly & fast service. Gotta be the best burger in Etobicoke, a great retro vibe to the place as well.
