Before my first visit to King Burger, I was a train wreck of a man. My wife had recently left me due to the fact that allegedly ‘smelled of chives’. She also took my two kids Denise and Denephew and left on the first flight to Trinidad (Julie, if you’re reading this, please come back). Distraught and questioning life’s meaning, I returned to my first love: fast food. Instead of opting for one of the more ‘corporate’ options in town, I decided to visit a place that I usually avoid, that being King Burger. Despite its dodgy exterior, the inside of the joint is stylish, clean and comfortable. It took me back to a simpler time, and reminded me of when my uncle Rod used to take me out for lunch every Thursday (before the incident). The food was nothing to sneeze at. A single bite of their Deluxe Bacon Cheeseburger can transport a customer to a magical realm that is filled with beef and cheese and is without the ever present fear of nuclear warfare on the horizon. The fries taste and feel like an intimate night with Hasbro’s own ‘Mr. Potato Head’. In short, the King Burger experience was enlightening, life changing even. To conclude, King Burger is a place that every being in the animal kingdom should visit before their time on Earth is through. I entered its hallowed wooden halls a broken man, and left as someone with a newfound purpose in life. Thank you for reading and have a blesséd day.
Very good cheese, bacon burger. The special comes with fries and a drink. The gravy was very good. Friendly & fast service. Plenty of parking. There is also a drive through. Take out or eat in.
Service was slow, the fries are your basic McCain crinkle fries, the buns are the cheap ones you can get at the grocery store, the patties are homemade however. I did enjoy my milkshake but the cost definitely didn't measure up to what we received.
A fabulous old school burger house and so much more! A great menu with nicely unique choices. Definitely recommended !!!
Amazing home cooked meals! My partner and I each had a meal we could barely finish. Amazing homemade ingredients! I highly recommend! Not only was the food delicious the service was super friendly and we can’t wait to go back! Was affordable approx $30 for 2 large meals with coffee, great hidden gem! So good I almost don’t even want to share! Thankful they survived COVID!
Exactly as expected! No better or worse. Restaurant felt clean, and a view into the kitchen proved the same (clean). I ordered a cheeseburger-a basic and less expensive menu item-it came to $7 with tax, before tip. I was satisfied. Their daily specials (posted pictures by other reviewers) seem like a good deal and I will be back to enjoy.
It's a little pricey, but I guess that's the price you pay for great food Had their poutine for the first time, and omg, why haven't I had it before. Delicious!
Yes, this place is dated in it's décor, but I challenge you to find a better burger within 50km. Their food is legitimately handmade, their beef is never frozen, and the staff have their burgers down to a science. A trip into the past for how it looks, and a great trip into the past of how burgers at places like this used to taste. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Always good pub-style food
Great burger!
A staple in the Ottawa Valley! Proud its part of my hometown!
Food was good just to expensive
Dietary restrictions: Gluten free buns available. Food

Yummy and fast service for those who have limited lunch time.
Best tasting burgers in town
This place is gross fries were frozen and deli meat for the turkey club sandwich top charged us for plotters. It cost us $90 to upgrade their system. Further communication for the drive-through cheese sub bag cheese I highly recommend never go to this place again ripped ripped us off anywhere else in the valley would of been better there cans of pop were over priced never again plz don t go here waste of money go to the BLVD in petawawa the go amazing food eh
Always delicious food and a friendly welcome
I love this place the food is great
Burgers are great, poutine uses shredded cheese tho and thats just wrong.
Good service cool decor but food was underwhelming.
Ordered at the window, everything but ketchup. What we got: mustard and relish only. The fries were from frozen and under cooked.
food is great, service is acceptable
Old school....Show up get your food and suck in the ambiance. Love me some chicken fingers Food
Classic joint. Always a homerun. Keep up the great work
The best Hot Hamburger Sandwiches in the Valley. Great staff too! Highly recommended.
Burger was good (hand made, and cooked on the spot) but the bun was dry and seemed a bit stale. Also the prices seemed a bit high for what you get. Id say its worth it to support a local business over any of the chains!
Normally when Im waiting 20 minutes for my food I would expect it to be good, not today I got a double bacon cheese burger plate the burgers were very small and about as dry a burger could possibly be the wife got a club sandwich which was good but overpriced at 17 dollars
Great home style hamburgers and best onion rings in town. I took a star off for the overall appearance of the place, the fact sometimes drive-thru service is a bit curt and also their drive-thru speaker system sucks. Fortunately nothing above stops me from enjoying their burgers.
Best Burgers the world over! The secret sauce brings joy to my heart and tears to my eyes when I m too far away to get one! The King Cheese Platter with fried onions with the onion rings OMG!!! Delicious is not nearly enough of a description! Delicious would like to be in the same room with this burger. Ode to My King Cheese Fresh and delicious is your meat Served hot with sautéd onions at your seat The special sauce is your crowning glory And the delicious buns are the baking story The first bite of this burger will make you sing And know above all else that this burger is truly King!! (Will be stopping in tomorrow FYI!!)
Chicken strips are absolutely delicious, burgers are and taste like real meat, fries are always cooked to perfection, and great service with fair prices.
Not to be confused with Burger King. I lived here for some time and never tried King Burger, so what the hell, give them a go. I really wasnt impressed. No combos, everything is a la carte. Pretty expensive when you add everything up for a meal. Even chip trucks offer some sort of combo. King Burger take note.
First time eating here. Delicious food. Burgers were juicy, but not greasy nor oily. Poutine was fantastic! Chocolate shake was a perfect blend of smooth. We ate inside. Very Clean. Staff were polite and answered all our questions. 100% recommend this place.
Always good milkshakes are good they always need the bigger cups
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AT THIS DUMP! Jun 17/22 I ordered chicken fingers fries and gravy, hot Hamburg fries and gravy, and a Cesar salad. I received everything but the chicken fingers. The restaurant is telling me that $37.29 did not include the price of the chicken fingers.
Our favourite place to eat when I am home visiting
Always wanted to try this place and for my first experience to put it simply i wasnt too thrilled with the burger i had. The patty itself was tasteless and their sauce that they use was not my cup of tea, they also put too much of it on the burger. So for the namesake of the place, this was anything but a king burger, maybe their other food is better but Id definitely go elsewhere for a hamburger.
Awesome food and friendly service!
The kingburger sauce is all the condiments mixed together. Patty was dry. Might as well go to Wendys.
I had the daily special. Quick service. Hot food and the best damn French Fries in town. Hands down.
Wonderful service. Fish platter and burger platter were great, service was friendly and Fast drive through! She even offered our pup a treat!
Quick decent burgers and fries Will come again, recommed a visit if in the area
Excellent atmosphere, and excellent staff. Very fair prices for very good food. Regular guests whenever were in the area. Highly reccomend.
Tried this place for the first time and it was great. Food was delicious and huge portions! Great price
Homemade patties, but small. Didnt fill the bun and the special sauce was not great it made the burger very sloppy which eating in a car was no fun. Good fries though.
This is great food fast !
I used to live in Petawawa and drive to Pembroke just for their hamburgers. Their hamburgers are so delicious. Now Im living in Colombia South America and miss their Hamburgers. To date I still have not had a better hamburger. Hope your still there next time I visit.
Great Philly Cheese Steak
Normally I only have one of your burgers today I had your wings and fries the wings were delicious but the fries were to die for
Great food! Hand made fresh beef burgers, excellent onion rings (Im fussy) and I really enjoyed the deep fried pickles.
Cute drive-thru. looking forward to its full opening as I havent experienced. Pricey for what it is. Burger buns are pretty cheap quality here but the burger itself is really good, as are the fries and milkshakes.
LOVE this place
Debt out of order and milk shake machine busted.. like burger King but worse
Great burgers!
I was not at all impressed. Paid over 13.00 for a kingburger burger with cheese, pickles, ketchup and mustard (as they don t come with any sauce apparently and only come with the burger with fried onion which I m positive mine didn t even have) and a very small amount of onion rings (rather then fries). It was suppose to be a platter but all I got was a burger and small amount of onion rings where normal places you get your burger, side and drink for even less then what I paid here. It s sad to say for a local place, I would rather have McDonalds then this place. My experience was so poor I gave my spouse my burger after 2-3 bites because I literally couldn t eat it not to mention it was so completely loaded in sauce for some reason that it was falling apart as I tried to eat it and even before eating it I had to pull it apart and reposition it as my whole burger was completely off set. Never again! I understand it s local but I m sorry this doesn t represent our town by any means.
Best burgers
Delicious as always and I mean everything !
Amazing food!!
The service is Awesome and always made fresh after you place your order its worth the wait and the food is always a hit for the whole family !!!
Always wanted to try it.. since it s on the way to work and I see it everyday. I did and unfortunately was disappointed. 17$ for king burger and poutine. Nothing special, normal frozen fries and little bit of Gravy on top. The burger was two small Patties on top of each other. For that money you might say oh it comes with a drink.. a water bottle?? Nothing. Just a burger and whatever poutine. Also, the drive thru mechanism need fixing.. I drove 3 or 4 times around the building to see where to order. Since they have an old piece of intercom machine and all their windows are covered with a privacy films so you can t see really much or how they cooking the food or what not. 2 stars only for the location.
Im pretty sure this place remains open because of the motorcycle and car events that are hosted here. The food is very average, just go to McDonalds or Wendys, which are basically right next door.
Burger was super dry and crumbly so was the bun. Fries where like oven cooked no frills style but the gravy was really good. Not worth 17$ for a burger and fries tho. Would not recommend.
Always Superb!! The food is Exceptional! Service is friendly, they remember repeat customers, treat you as a friend wether it is your first time the 25th. The tables floors and restrooms are clean and well appointed. I highly recommend this restaurant for a one of a kind burger and the classic dinner experience!
Less than average
Would not recommend, everything was really bland. Pricey for what it is. The cashier asked us how the food was and we politely told her it was bland and she responded by saying this is how it has been for a hundred years. We regretted not going to Harveys next door.
Its number one
No need to go back to fast food.like BK,MCD, This place offers it all at reasonable prices. Good people ,good location very friendly and quick service. Would recommend to locals and anyone from out of town.
Best restaurant in pembroke their burgers are amazing
Everything was good and fresh except the patty. It was 12:30 on a Saturday it was dry like it was left over from friday
Always delicious food here, and cold pints!
Burgers are big pretty good milkshake
My favorite place in the whole world to get a burger. Also amazing shakes. Must try!
Great Food and Service
Decent burger but amazing mozzarella sticks and marinara. Liked the shakes too.
Best burger going!!
I spent nearly 100$ to feed 5 with burger fry and drink with advertised prices didnt add up Frys look like store bought and can be bought anywhere poutine is shredded cheese, burgers are 80% bun 5% meat rest is condiments. Over all imo its like a bad McDonalds and I despise McDonalds but you have. Burger that matches the bun, the fries are not something you get from a grocery store. Overall do not reccomend. Maybe stuff other then burger fries are good but how you screw those 2 things up is beyond me.
Always enjoy the food here
They are a little rude, but the food is okay.
Superburger perfection thanks Linda
Best burger in town! You also get a great value as you can get a good quality burger and side with a drink for much cheaper than McDonalds. The King Burger is always a good choice and the onion rings are pretty good too. Another great thing about this place is the table service. Order your food then have a seat and they will bring it to you. They are also lisenced so you can have a beer with your burger!
I really especially love this girl named Christa everytime she makes my order it just makes my day Hi-5 Christa
Great fish and chips Friday!
Easygoing environment and great tasteing food!!
Always delicious. Great place for lunch or supper and the owner will chat about the restaurant history with you if you ask him.
Not a bad place for the value and its quiet.
Good food.
GREAT MEAL. GREAT SERVICE AWSOME OUTING. WE TRULY ENJOYED OURSELVES.
Classic place that seems under appreciated. Great food. Lovely staff! Gotta make a point to go more often.
Always a great place to eat
Friendly staff, cozy dining, and great food!
great food and price
Home cooked food. Nicely done.
Its an older establishment that has friendly staff and home cooked meals .
Staff acknowledged a problem with a takeout order and refused to do anything about it. Ive never been back.
Not a good place considering the price. $15 for iceberg lettuce on a burger
Burgers are great! But complimenting those great burgers are krinkle fries....only thing I would change is that.
Best hamburgers and fries
Awesome ..quick and delicious
Unlike other people, I did not try the burger and regretting it now. Im only basing my 4 stars on my experience. I had the philly steak sandwich, and it wasnt anything special, but rather average at best. Service was fantastic though, and I feel I should try the burger next time Im in the area!
Very nice place, lots of options with daily specials. Nice and very efficient staff. Had a very nice dinner there, very family friendly.
Small establishment. Usually forget its even there as there really needs to be more advsrtizing. However the food is amazing. Theres a good atmosphere and staff always seem friendly.
Always a good time at King Burger, especially on Tuesday nights for bike night!!

A great local place to grab a quick bite to eat. Better burgers than any of the main fast food chains. They do other sandwiches salads and apps too. Licensed to sell alcohol as well.
Goddamn amazing no regerts. Best Canadian restaurant.

Overpriced poor service small quantities and food not always cooked all the way theough
One of the most quite places to eat.
King Burger Combo!!! Yumm!
Best burger and fries Ive ever had. Not even joking. A+++++
Good burger
More than ordinary and the service is barely courteous.
Always great food! Friendly staff and fair prices!
Wonderful Place ! Stopped yesterday with my lovely wife and Mother in Law . Great Service, fast , the food was tasty, great time was had by all, We will be back !
This was our first visit to Kingburger, as well as Pembroke. I had looked online for a good place to have lunch. Hubby and I love our burgers, so we tend to frequent burger/diner type places. If you dont mind ordering at a walk up window, then sit and they deliver your food. Service and staff were very friendly! Food was excellent. A tad expensive but you get quality for the price. Restaurant is clean and I liked the separate area for the bar and tv. The only issue I had, was that the ladies washroom door was incredibly difficult to open, from both inside and out. We will be back!!
Love the hand made patty of the burgers. Staff is always friendly
Always my favourite place to get a Hamburg.
Very friendly,courteous service also very little waiting for your food.
Love this place perhaps ms Smith should continue to eat in barn yards
Good food and good service. Never get let down here. Will be back as usual.
Always good
Ive been coming to this place since I was in diapers. I havent been in over forty years. I came here tonight to find out that the same family that owned it back in the day so owns it now. I took a bite and found the same great taste, it really brought back memories.
Amazing burgers!!
