Dropped in for the first time while walking in the beach area. Was greeted immediately and service was fast and friendly! We had the grilled chicken burger and it was super tasty with crispy lettuce and fresh tomato and pickle and a ranch sauce. The bun was fresh and very tasty as well. The area was very clean and there was a bar type seating area inside and also a nice patio outside. Excellent overall experience and I would definitely recommend this place if you are in the area or at the beach. Thank you!

Came here with my friends and had a great time. The staff was attentive and friendly. I got the regular hamburger add it was a bit on the dry side so I think I should have gotten the cheeseburger, but it was still quite good. The fries were perfectly fried and salted, hot and crispy. The highlight for me was the chicken burger though. Wow it was one of the best burgers I've had. It was really juicy yet crispy, perfectly seasoned. Would come again just for that. Highly recommended.

Came here with a couple of friends for lunch before heading to beach volleyball. I don't know if I was hella hungry or what but WOW, that Cheeseburger with the double patty was sooooooo gooooood. The patties had a nice flame-grilled char to them, the cheese was so ooey gooey creamy, the pickles added a nice tanginess, and the whole thing together was simply amazing. The Crispy Chicken burger was also delicious--the chicken was crispy on the outside and really moist on the inside. The regular Hamburger was just okay, a little on the dry side. Service: typical. Atmosphere: beachy. Highly recommend the Cheeseburger and Crispy Chicken burger! Definitely returning!

Unfortunately not the greatest experience here. Our chicken Burger was burnt and all of our burgers were undercooked, they were nice enough to remake them, but the fact that they were even passed on to us is a huge miss. Once we received our cooked food, I'll admit the food tasted good. Loads of toppings and a great Burger bun. Onion rings were also great.

★★★★
August 12, 2021

If this review was base solely on my burger and onion rings meal this would be a 3 star establishment. However, my GF ordered the Crispy Chicken at $9.50 that she thoroughly enjoyed. Note: this is a mere .50 cents more than the cheeseburger and way more substantial and satisfying. On first bite the cheeseburger tasted like an A&W offering. Granted a better version. The the old Wendy's "where's the beef" line came to mind. The onion rings where good but quantity wise rather skimpy. People in the know seem to order the Crispy Chicken as it is a way better value. Probably will return to have the Crispy Chicken, only.

Didnt know what to expect, honestly. We needed to get out of the hustle and bustle of Toronto, and grab some food. The kids needed to refresh in the water. Woodbine Beach was calling us.. And a burger joint right there? It was perfect. We sat out on the patio, light music on the speakers while we waited for our food. Omg.. Those fries! Omg.. Those cheeseburgers! It was perfect.. The atmosphere, the food, and the company. The service was exceptional, too. I hate to give a great review in the event it draws a lineup to this not so hidden gem!

I came here just to rest and watch the Spain vs Germany game and ended up ordering the Veggie Burger with some Onion Rings. O-M-G. The burger was SPECTACULAR!! And the rings?? SOOOO crunchy and tasty!! I loved it so much will definitely come back

July 23, 2024

I was super excited to eat here as I had it last year and it was great. However, this experience was awful. The service was poor to start. There were only 2 of us when we got there. The gentlemen took our order and then instead of making our food proceeded to serve a group of kids that had just walked in before making our food. He was then handling cash with the gloves he was cooking our food with. He then took a raw chicken burger with his hand and placed it on the grill. With the same gloves he then grabbed the buns for our burgers after touching the raw chicken. After waiting 15 minutes for our food, we finally got it and it was raw. I didn t even bother going back in to get my money back I just threw it out. I will NOT be back.

Recently I had the chance to visit this place and to my surprise, I must say the service was very well given and quick. I ordered a chicken burger and it tasted fresh n delicious. Overall the environment and staff were really friendly. Would definitely be tempted to visit again soon.

July 23, 2024

I had a highly disappointing experience today. From the moment I walked in, the staff were incredibly rude. The most shocking part of my visit was being denied tap water. When I mentioned to the manager that it is legally required to serve tap water (since they have liquor license), he dismissively responded that he only follows his wifes law. It was only after I insisted that I was grudgingly given a glass of water. As if this wasnt bad enough, I found a hair in my chicken burger. This level of disregard for basic hygiene and customer service is unacceptable. I will not be returning and would caution others to think twice before dining here.

Their famous Nashville hot chicken was replaced by a plain grilled chicken burger. Its soo disappointing. The Philly cheesesteak is pretty good.

June 23, 2024

I ordered Nashville hot chicken, and asked for a mild spice. The chicken was soooo dry, the sauce was around 1 tsp for the whole sandwich, the patty was stale and tasteless. Honestly, this is the worst chicken sandwich I had!! Does not worth the $25+ I paid, and I definitely wouldn t have it for free.

★★
June 23, 2024

No bueno. My chicken burger was a warmed up from frozen mechanical patty on an oversized low quality bun with minimal toppings. My friends nashville hot chicken burger took up 1/2 of the bun area, she said it was really dry. The owners must have changed... this place used to be fire 3 years ago. What a shame, Ill miss the OG GGs indeed. At least the service is still friendly and genuine. Oh and the bathrooms were basically as dirty as the public beach ones

I visited this place with my family and I was impressed! The food was really delicious. I ve tried the burger and it tasted very fresh and tender. It will for sure be my go to meal from now on!

Strawberry Vanilla twist. Not the usually combo and perfect all the same. Strawberry was full on. Would eat again. Their onion rings are great. Hot dog was meh.

They took off all their best menu items (their patty melts, aioli dip, etc. that everyone loved) - you can get better burgers + chicken burgers nearby. This place used to be great but nothing special about it anymore.

Food is too salty Main problem was staffs attitude. The worst customer service I have ever seen. We bought some food ( fries and some other stuff) and used the washroom as well. While i wait for my friend, i had one fry. They started yelling dont eat food here, go outside I said sorry and just finished the fry. Then i waited for my friend. They started yelling again dont eat with higher voice cz i was still chewing. I didnt even touch a new fry just finished what i had. The one fry) ( i understand if it is their rule and i respect it. They should tell us not to do it. NOT YELL!) And it was not even mentioned in anywhere. I would highly recommend NOT to go there.

burgers: salad is not fresh, meat is full of bones and cartilage, paper bags are too expensive looking. fries are not great. overall, quality is lower than Tim Hortons or McDonalds, price is higher. For this money you could expect the view to be of the lake not of the parking lot.

Lovely service and very cool staff . My boyfriend and I tried this place yesterday while visiting the beach, and Justin at the front cash was very kind and patient! He made friendly conversation and complimented my Hawaiian shirt, and even gave us extra fries with some delicious sauces on the side to accommodate for the wait which we didnt mind. As service workers ourselves, we know it can be hard to keep up with orders when understaffed. Food was delicious, I ordered the patty melt and the sweet caramelized onions went incredibly well with the salty beef and cheese. For a place we picked at random, we were pleasantly surprised and will most likely visit more in the future

Saw a Tiktok review. Burger looked very good and fries looked amazing. Unfortunately the fries were just tasteless frozen fries. Burger was really good but would have been much better if they d used a burger sauce instead of ketchup and mustard. The other issue is the hours of operation. This was my third visit because they were closed the first two times when they were supposed to be open

I saw the person who prepared my food try to cut off the burnt pieces. It looks much different than the other Nashville Hot chicken sandwich photos from here. They remade the sandwich, by the time that was complete we had to leave and the sandwich was soggy when we got home. Maybe a one off experience but I am less than impressed.

Not bad, but the reviews are overrated at the moment. The burger was good but it had some raw spots and cheese had both yellow and a white patch on it which didn t seem usual. It is definitely not as good as Matty s Patty s but a decent option for the area given most others are chain restaurants. Nashville hot chicken was good but bread was quite soggy. Overall not bad when you need a lunch nearby but not worth a detour or a craving for it.

And the dips are fantastic I didn t know how much I needed malt vinegar dipping sauce in my life and now I can never go back.

The Nashville Hot Chicken is the holy grail of Chicken Sandwiches in Toronto. The seemingly simple combo of lettuce, tomato, pickles, and fried chicken kissed with their house ranch and hugged in a potato bun is absolutely delicious. The batter spice blend was so Devine, I could have easily ate the chicken on its own. They serve such a generous portion, I had to share my onion rings, which were also a little taste of deep-fried heaven. I typically eat low carb and vegetarian but this was WELL worth the cheat. Can t wait to go back! Thanks GG!

Great new spot at the beach! Decided to try out GGs and was not disappointed. We ordered the cheeseburger with fries, and the patty melt with onion rings. Both were fantastic, the patty melt was essentially a burger inside a grilled cheese with caramelized onions, and the cheeseburger was reminiscent of a 5 guys burger. Now I have to say that I generally dont care for fries all that much, but these ones are incredible. Matchstick-style, the come with a delicious malt vinegar mayo for dipping, which somehow encapsulates the taste of vinegar with the creamy freshness of mayo. Im already looking forward to trying the chicken and chili dogs

Best burgers in the city! Ive never tasted a smash burger so juicy and flavourful, and the cheese is always melted to perfection. Small details like a sesame bun, malt vinegar/chipotle mayo included and shoestring fries put this burger joint above the rest. We watched fresh (not frozen) meat get put on the grill, the onion rings were still crispy after a 10 minute drive home, and the customer service has been excellent both times weve been. You wont regret going to GGs and youll want to tell all your friends to visit as well! Grab a burger for a beach walk

My absolute FAVOURITE burger joint in all of Toronto! Every option on their menu is delicious and made with care - highly recommend the Patty Melt!

Burgers cost next to nothing to make with a slice of processed cheese some beef and tomatos bread and a piece of lettuce. Their menu is too expensive and not competitive price enough. Greedy management. The margins on the burgers are good and they just charge too much for them. They think they have monopoly at the beach and their market share. Anyone can make burgers and hotdogs and grilled cheese sandwiches lets be real.

I came in looking for a bite and seen GG s and thought I would give it a try. I asked a friendly cashier named Kayla what she recommends and recommend the nashville hot chicken. To say the least i loved it!! It was crispy, spicy, perfectly cooked, and tasty! Definitely coming back for more!!

Patty Melt and Nashville Chicken are absolutely delicious. Looking forward to try Chili Cheese Dog on my next visit.

After reading the numerous glowing reviews of GGs, my partner and I were excited to try out this place. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. The cheeseburger was very small and bland, and the Nashville hot chicken sandwich was decent but not spicy at all. The onion rings were the worst part of our meal. The box was two thirds empty and the rings were soggy. Ultimately, the food is overpriced and unappetizing :(

My friend and I got the cheeseburger, the nashville hot chicken sandwich, the chili cheese dog, their homemade twinkie, and finally their homemade soft serve ice cream (not included in photo as we came back later to try). I must say, their soft serve is the best Ive ever tasted! Theres a huge difference between the one you can get at an ice cream truck for example. The vanilla was so thick and satisfying. We also got the watermelon flavour, which was light and perfectly sweet (it had a really cool unique flavour). The twinkie was also very good, as it wasnt too heavy and rich. When eating a fast food burger, I often feel sluggish and heavy after. However, their burger was so clean and delicious - perfect for a hot day at the beach! I love the simplicity of the burger; it is not decked with a bunch of add-ons in an attempt to mask poor quality meat and bread. The quality of the ingredients speak for themselves. The homemade sauce they add to the burger is so delicious! From my understanding, the burger is made fresh from quality meats and never frozen. However, I wouldve appreciated the option to add bacon. The chicken sandwich was also amazing (side note: this one was heavier than the burger in my opinion). The chicken itself is juicy and tender on the inside, and has a perfect breaded crispy outside. I love the spice, and the homemade ranch sauce they add to it. Finally, I am not a hot dog fan, so I only had a small bite and let my friend have the rest. I could tell all the ingredients were of high quality, so if youre a dog lover, have at it! Overall, this is not only a great spot to grab a quick bite if youre at the beach. I would recommend coming to this place from any distance. The prices are great, and the food is simple, clean, and tastes amazing. What more could you ask for?!??!

Great smash burger that can be enjoyed at the picnic tables outside in Woodbine beach park. They also have great shakes and perfectly crispy shoestring fries. Very friendly crew. It opened in April and is part of the Scale Hospitality group, with includes the Toronto Beach Club on the other side of the Tim Hortons in the same space. My kids all gave it a thumbs up

Came here on a tuesday afternoon, place was empty, no customers and no orders being prepped. No one on the patio. Place was empty. Thats telling... One tall female worker was standing by the door, sipping on a drink. While the cook was wiping things down. No one acknowledged us, not even eye contact. We looked at the menu, cook came to hover near us, never even saying hi, then walked away. After 3 minutes, zero customers zero service, I doubt food is even fresh. We walked out and took our business to tim hortons where at least we were greeted.

Was in GGs today. Grabbed a burger which was ok. I stumbled upon the last review from the lady that was refused washroom access. Too much. I think she should phone 311 because somethings not right. I wonder if 2 police officers walked in even just to use the washroom, would they be told they had to order food first??? Would GGs tell them to use the public washrooms...bet not.All women should be upset about this so called policy. Its blatantly forcing customers who intend to order choose between going to the washroom or ordering. If it was a non customer that would be a different story

Fries were pretty decent for $3.50 ish it was pretty good though the fries were a lot smaller than I expected them to be. A hidden gem I suppose, but that depends on your view. If yiu want some fries for a good price GGs your place, it was pretty tasty. Only side note is that, I wish the utensils were already packed inside rather than having to asking for it, considering the place can get busy

Love getting my Viggie Cheese Burger here. Good food, great location, vert reasonable prices and a very friendly staff. I loved that they gave those nice hi-tech devices that you can take outside with you while you wait and they ring when your order is ready. Love it when you see hi-tech in places you never expected, eh?

Excellent staff! Very friendly! And look at that handwritten thank you note. :) Fast service. Great location. The food, though, is quite poor to our taste, but probably considering inexpensive prices it is fine. Crispy chicken is for sure better than cheeseburger, considering it s just .50 cents more.

They make a decent burger, their fries and rings are good too! Sadly them not being able to count to six kinda screwed up the birthday dinner plans. Made it home before noticing missing items in order had to drive back since no one picks up the phone. Counter staff did offer complementary something (didn t want or take it, just wanted the missing item) and were apologetic. Do not order from Ritual or other take out applications . Walk-in is better and fairly fast. The other problem is the phone number listed on google either isn t working or no one picks up.
