Their burger is the best in the town! So juicy but not oily. It’s got a nice view too.

Great burgers and excellent service! We had the Friday and Double Friday burgers with a side of fries and onion rings. All very delicious! It was my birthday and I was looking forward to the Mississippi Mud Pie pudding for dessert, but I found out they recently discontinued it. When the manager David heard it was my birthday and I was looking forward to the dessert, he made a special batch just for me! We were amazed by the level of service and left feeling very grateful for his kindness (Thank you again, David!). He said they will have new desserts coming soon, so I'm looking forward to going back and trying those with some burgers again.

I’m always searching for a good burger and Friday Burger on Danforth hits the spot! I stopped in for lunch on a Friday (11/1) and, after a few questions about the menu, ordered the double stack burger. When it came out, I knew I was in for a treat! The Double Friday Burger was flavorful and the additional toppings were in every bite. D, the manager, provided great, friendly service while preparing my food. And the music was on point! I’ve found my burger spot in this area. If you’re on the Danny and looking for a good burger spot, check them out.

My partner said he had driven past a bunch of times and he wanted to try it. I was hesitant, for no reason just wasn’t in the mood. Well we did and got the hot dog special. Which had Alabama white sauce. It was pretty darn good! Everything was made fresh to order and the staff was super helpful and friendly. Would definitely come here again. The space is intimate but super bright and warm. It’s a very nice little restaurant to dine in I would say. We would probably come here for lunch on a Saturday. It’s Ina. Nice walkable part of the Danforth and reasonably priced.

One of the hidden gems of east York! A must try burger, the fried pickles are delicious and the burgers are quite good. I loved their fries as well! The burgers in the video are mushroom and Carolina burgers.

Finally had the chance to try Friday Burger after hearing so much about its quality and philosophy. I tried the Double Friday Burger, Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich, Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, and Carolina Burger. Overall, the quality is solid. However, there’s a catch for those who aren’t fans of pickles. The beef burgers have a complex pickle presence with a strong vinegary note that dominates the flavor. The meat is cooked really well, but if you’re not into pickles, you might want to opt for Chicken Sandwiches or look elsewhere. Comparing Friday Burger directly to Burger Drops isn’t fair since they’re different beasts. Friday Burger has its own sauce and pickle philosophy, which adds a unique kick with strong presence unlike Burger Drop. Personally, as someone who prefers as less presence of sauce and condiments as possible, I’d choose Burger Drop for a more straightforward burger experience and keep Friday Burger for when I want to spice up my day. The chicken sandwiches are juicy with a hint of crunch from the thin batter, which I liked. However, I wished it was a tad crispier. Between the Buttermilk and Nashville Hot Chicken, the latter wins with its more complex flavor profile. For some reason, it was rather challenging to admire the Buttermilk Sandwich. Now, onto the sides. The French fries and pickle fries were a real letdown. frozen Cavendish fries just don’t match the quality of the burgers especially when the fresh cut fries as nearly standard at this price range nowadays, and the pickle fries, made from slices, lose their tangy juices. Whole pickles might have worked better. Service-wise, the staff did their best despite the rush of orders, but a bit more attentiveness would have been nice. FBC is indeed the great spot for a burger with a unique twist, but I’ll probably be avoiding the sides next time.

Came here with my girlfriend and had an amazing experience. The person behind the counter greeted us, gave us some recommendations as it was our first time here, and chatted us up the whole time we ordered and while he prepared our meal. I had a double Friday Burger, and got a chili cheese fries to share with my girlfriend, while she got a regular Friday Burger and a chocolate shake. I was worried if the portion for the chili cheese fries would be enough for the both of us, but we were assured that he usually loads them to the brim. And we were not disappointed. The fries were super crispy and soft and fluffy on the inside, and the seasoning they use on them is very tasty. The chili and cheese sauce is also very good. Food quality here is exceptional, maybe one of the best burgers I've had, and definitely the best burger that I've had in Toronto for sure. I will definitely be coming back! A must try for sure.

I ordered via skip and they did not even confirm the order for 20 minutes. I was just waiting. Like if you cant make it at least reject the customer. I placed it around 7 and they just left my order on the waiting list. Wanted to try this restaurant but never mind now.

Just tried after having this place on my radar for some time. For sure its a good burger, maybe not the biggest but still a solid 8/10. However, the cost will keep me from returning unfortunately. $19 all in for the Double Friday Burger + $2 tip. I get that these are the times we are in but it still feels pretty pricy for what you get...

When we entered the restaurant for lunch earlier today, the employee working was very hospitable & friendly! All of my friends seemed to really enjoy the burgers & they were served very quickly. The gentleman who was making the food noticed I didn t order anything/wasn t eating like all my other friends. He asked me if I wanted some fries & offered to give me some for free! I felt extremely touched by his kindness & generosity. Money is kinda tight some times & overall I felt very thankful to God & this kind employee today! The fries were nicely crispy & the sauce & scallions on top tasted really good together! If I m ever in the area again I would definitely come back!

Nothing special, mediocre at best. Frozen fries, onion rings and so on. Save your money

The burgers are great yes I will give them that, but they overcharge like crazy $16 plus tax just for a burger, no fries or anything with it either all extra so by the time you purchase a combo your paying close to if not over $30 for a burger, fries and a drink

I love everything about this place just really hope this guy (who does the cooking all by himself in front of you) gets a bigger place eventually, Especially since families want to go eat there because the food is really good it just seems packed sometimes, not enough room to sit more accessibility would be great one day..

Despite reviews being expensive and the pickles being too pickle-y, we still decided to try it out, risk takers that we are! 1 review says $19 is too much for a combo, sorry wrong - $19 for this quality is a steal, literally a buck or two more than the chain crap worth EVERY penny. Another review docks them a star for making their own pickles and over pickle-ing their burgers. Next time ask for less. Our burgers pickle to meat ratio was perfect! What I m trying to convey here is our visit was AMAZING. Top smash burger in Toronto without question. Perfectly (we are talking perfectly!) seasoned and cooked. Great crisp on meat! Bun, sauce, cheese AND pickles - perfect again. The fries are next level, try the chili fries too. We also shared the Nashville chicken Sammy which was delicious as well and featured those darned and delicious pickles again! lol Honest review - best in the east - worth a visit !

Given the glowing praise Ive heard for this place, Im probably an outlier with my personal tastes but I found Friday just ok. Stopped by for lunch and got: - Double Friday Burger: Typical smash burger tasty and had a nice springy bun. - Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich: Good size but a bit too much batter and fry for me. - Chili Cheese Fries: Lots of cheese which I loved, but would have liked a stronger chili. - Onion Rings: Ok portion size, would have liked it a bit on the sweeter side. - Chocolate Milkshake: I like my milkshakes super thick, and this was thin for me. - Banana Pudding: Decadently rich, heavy and yummy. People there were helpful and welcoming. Space is small but there are enough seats if you want to eat there versus taking it out. Prices are ok-ish for size and quality you get. Again, nothing bad about Friday. My tastebuds were just wanting for more.

No hate- just feedback. It s a 2.5- 3 from me. Service was friendly, for the most part. Took the family. Ordered Friday fries, Onion rings, Friday Double, Friday Burger, Nashville hot chicken, a buttermilk fried chicken and a strawberry cheesecake milkshake. $90+ incl a decent tip. Burgers were ok. Fresh ingredients, served hot. Friday Fries- Frozen Cavendish krinkle cut with their Friday sauce and green onions- meh. Milkshake- ridiculously sweet and thin. Almost undrinkable- perhaps work on the ratios- and stick to em. The main issue was with the Nashville (marked on the box) and the buttermilk fried. My wife (who ordered the buttermilk) asked why is this so spicy? Buttermilk should be a simple, not overly seasoned fried chicken sandwich. We thought we mixed up the sandwiches. Took a bite of each. Absolutely NO difference- None. We asked the cash and said- there is no difference. Instead of offering to redo he asks Is it ok for you to eat? Well- it s edible- but is sure as shot is not what we ordered. Then when leaving tells us about the one having cayenne and something or other. He ll talk to the owner about the recipe What are we- idiots? you trying to gaslight us? How about- you f d up? If that s your buttermilk FC sando- just call it a spicy chicken sandwich or Nashville hot. Me, my wife, my 12 yr old- said the same thing: it was the same damn sandwich. - I wish them the best.

Vegetarian options: They have a mushroom burger. Kid-friendliness: Nice and clean and friendly and they have a junior burger.

Had the opportunity to try Chef Joe Fridays new spot on Danforth today. Ordered the Friday Burger and my girlfriend had the Mushroom Burger. Both were well made, and the in-house sauce is quite good, unique and stands up on its own. The fries included in my combo were seasoned with something that reminds me of the fries offered at Bingzi, these fries were better though, a little kick but not too spicy. Tried to ask Chef what was on them but was told the seasoning was a proprietary top secret, damn! Speaking of which, I was surprised to walk in and see Chef Friday in there himself heading the operation today alongside what seemed to be a trainee. Friday Burger Company has a main location downtown, a much busier location which I assumed hed be at, but instead he was out on Danforth growing the new location personally. I respect that a lot, thats real leadership and it shows in the food. All in all, an excellent and casual meal served in a professional yet chill way, give them a try if youre in the area. Vegetarian options: There was a mushroom burger, unsure of what the mushroom was but girlfriend enjoyed it. Fries are great and uniquely seasoned.

Since it s Friday, I thought i d get lunch from Friday Burger Company. Delicious burger on a nice soft bun and really juicy onion rings. The place was really busy and the buttermilk chicken sandwiches they were pumping out looked awesome! The only suggestion I have is about the pickles. I like a nice long slice from a kosher dill on my burgers. This location has had four or five different restaurants in the last ten years. Let s make sure this one lasts!

Ordered a chicken sandwich without pickles, a double cheeseburger, fries and a milkshake. The Cheeseburger was delicious and cooked perfectly. The chicken sandwich had pickles on it which ruined the sandwich considering I asked for no pickles. I was disappointed to find out that the French fries are frozen and not cut in house. The milkshake was very thin and didn t have enough chocolate flavour.

Great burgers! Had their double Friday burger and it was delicious, although they did not have the bacon available for mine. If you like smashed burgers this should definitely be up your alley. Buns were super soft and were the perfect combination for the crispy texture of the patties. Cheese was a melty gooeyness of delicious. Their Friday sauce has a bit of a kick to it. I am super disappointed with their fries though as I received previously cooked fries that were refried and they were super dry (and I received mostly the end/small bits adding to the dryness). Definitely don t order the fries as they are extra and not worth it. Also got their strawberry milkshake and it wasn t thick and too runny (would also skip that one). 4.5 stars out of five, would give five stars if not for the dry fries.

Im just passing through Toronto before heading back to Aus, and i just wanted a last poutine. Found this place and had a crispy chicken burger and the poutine. Chicken was v crispy and the poutine was poutiney. Overall very happy with my food. Only one server/cooker so hopefully the company will put at least one other person on during lunch as it was a little busy with ppl waiting to order. I wouldnt say its the best place to sit and eat as it is small, and of course the ppl lining up. But I took mine to go.

I have always wanted to try this place and so tried the food for the first time yesterday. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint!!! I got the Friday fries, Friday burger and a pop. The food was amazing and really hit the spot. It reminds me of shake shack, but in Toronto!!!! If you love burgers you have to try this place. The staff was very nice as well. The staff said when he received the order he saw the pick up time was 25 minutes, so he waited until the last minute to prepare the food so that it doesnt get cold. How awesome is that! Try it. I definitely will be going back!

December 22, 2023

I rarely leave 1 star reviews but we had a horrible experience October 28/23. Waited over 45 minutes for 5 Friday hamburgers, once we finally got the burgers they were cold and dry. I ve never experienced such slow service along with dry burger. I don t recommend if you want a real smash burger, try JABS, or maybe burger drops.

Very small Burger Joint decided to try it as I was following Mr Friday on social. And after trying many burgers I thought this would be the new best burger in. Its a good burger I just had the classic Friday Burger would like to go back and try the fries and the double friday. Service was good very small Burger Joint maybe seating for 10 very clean. Burger was good Im more of a fan of the grilled Burger than the flat top I guess this is your traditional smash. Hope to go back soon

Tipping culture is out of control. I was prompted to tip when I placed my order and paid. Im not sure why places that do not serve your table but take orders from behind a counter are prompting customers to tip. It makes no sense. Apart from that, the food was pretty good. Good size fries and the smash burger were excellent.

Read the article on Toronto Life magazine about the place and the owner Joe, Friday, and was curious to try the as we were around the area. This was on Sunday afternoon. The place was small, but sufficient for a quick bite to eat and take out. We ordered the Friday burger, mushroom burger and Friday junior burgers for kids along with regular fries, chili cheese fries and a chocolate milk shake. You can custom the toppings on the burger in case there is something you may not like to eat. The wait wasnt too long, about 10 minutes and there was an order ahead of us. They make it fresh. The burgers were seasoned well with the toppings provided and the chili cheese fries were delicious. The bun was soft. The regular fries and junior burgers were also liked by kids who are picky eaters. Chocolate milkshake was rich and smooth. The owner and chef, Joe Friday, was there and was pleasant to talk to. Would recommend for a quick bite to eat or if you like burgers. Would come back to try their buttermilk and Nashville chicken burgers and strawberry cheesecake milkshake.

Weve now been there twice. Each time, the burger is done exactly how we have requested. They are served on lovely potato buns which are perfectly sized for the burgers. The fries are hot and, although Im not usually a crinkle fan, these fries are wonderful. Each time we have been, the cook/chef as been very polite and accommodating. We shall return!

Very good food, but very expensive for the portions. That s why i gave just 3 stars. The Buttermilk chicken sandwich is good but fairly small and definitely not worth the $16.80 that Doordash charges. On Ritual the same sandwich is now $13 (although the price had jumped to $15 at one point). I guess that explains why the Friday Burger website has no prices at all. Generally Ritual has the best prices but they are pickup only. Some of these delivery services are doing a disservice to restaurants in driving up prices.

My husband and I ate at Fridays this evening. The hamburger and chili cheese fries were delicious. Their homemade condiments and sauces gave the food a more interesting flavour than your run of the mill burger. Definitely worth the money. Jay and Pam were both very pleasant and accommodating. The restaurant, although small inside, was very clean and a pleasure to dine in. I m looking forward to going back.

Absolute sorry state of affairs on the Danforth, practically more staff than customers and nobody could get their order filled. A woman in front of me asked for a refund because she had been waiting so long and buddy behind the counter had to call someone to figure out how to get her money back. A total of one burger was served over the course of about thirty minutes. These guys are totally lost.

Its a small burger place. The beef burger was good. Fresh ingredients and well seasoned patty. The drink menu was misleading. They have craft sodas for about $4 with tax but I got served a can of Mugs root beer. I asked for a refund on the drinks and was denied. The place was busy. Im assuming there were many take out orders. The staff seemed stressed. Not the best customer service experience. Hopefully they can get the bugs sorted out. Has good potential.
