Had lunch here while my car was being worked on across the street. Had the banquet burger combo; delicious burger with juicy patty, crispy and crunchy bacon, and tasty sauce on a soft bun. Fries were crispy and washed it down with a cold can of Fanta. Nice to eat at an original spot compared to the other chain places in the area. The man working the register and the woman working the grill were very kind and helpful. Very small and cramped eating area but can't complain as I ate quite quickly and wasn't there long. Was there during lunch time between 12 and 12:30 on Monday and it wasn't super busy, about 5 people ahead of me and 2 came after me. Food was ready in about 10 minutes. They cook the patty with care and make sure all the toppings don't fall out.

Follow @bredgyeats for more food reviews and posts! An exciting burger featuring a panko-crusted onion ring, bacon, sweet and smoky bbq sauce, garlic mayo, mozzarella, and of course the beef patty, seared to a beautiful maillard colour and a hint of smokiness. Juiciness was not lacking either thanks to the tomatoes and lettuce.

★★★

Decent burger but far from mind blowing. Patty was under seasoned and the burger as a whole lacked sauce. Despite being the only dine in order, my burger took about 20 minutes to make. I’m sympathetic to order of priority, the workload I might be blind to and online orders but I watched the line cook focus on irrelevant tasks instead of my meal on a few occasions. May have just been an off day!

First time trying their burgers. It was their 5th anniversary, the balloons, crowds and the tasty smell attracted me there. The burger was very delicious. The burger was crispy with lettuce onion tomato. I definitely will come back for their burgers. I recommend this burger place if you are in the neighborhood. Congratulations and best wishes to your business!

Great burgers at a small spot right on queen street. This place is run by a family of super friendly Turks - and they know how to cook some meat! Parties are a good size, buns were super well toasted and fries were nicely salted. In a world of smashed patties, it was great to find a place that can nail a classic burger.

★★★★★

It's a cool spot for late night eats as they are open late. The quality was good and the burgers tasted nice and they had creative toppings if that's your jam. We tried riverside and dill i cio both were nice and a bit spicy. It's a little crammed inside but overall it's a cool spot in a nice neighborhood for some late night exploring.

★★★

You know what the food is just ok - it's not bad but I have no reason to come back. Got the classic cheeseburger and fries with a drink and it was a decent price for what it is. I am full and content. However the burger was dry and the meat was missing flavour or seasoning. I had to keep dipping it in the ketchup to continue eating it. The place was clean and had a good amount of seating though !

If you're looking for a cozy spot with a personal touch to grab a good burger and fries, this little eatery is worth a visit. The place is intimate, with perhaps four or five tables tucked into a snug space that feels welcoming. The menu, scribbled on a chalkboard, suggests a homey, unpretentious vibe, and the walk-in specials are a steal—they're significantly less pricey than the regular fare. The fries here are generous in portion, crispy and well-seasoned—a real treat alongside their decent, satisfying burgers. Don't expect culinary fireworks—the burgers are squarely good, but they're not about to change your world. They deliver on what you want most: a solid, tasty meal that hits all the right comfort notes. What adds to the charm is the whiteboard wall where guests have left their colorful marks—a testimony to the joint's community feel and the fun, informal atmosphere it encourages. The staff, particularly the amiable guy who served us, adds to the friendly ambiance. You can tell they care about the place and their patrons, even though it seems like it's mostly a two-person operation. One heads-up: The music can be a tad loud, which might make chatting a bit challenging. But that's a minor hiccup in an otherwise great experience. This place has character, from the hand-drawn decor to the personable service, making it a spot you'll want to return to—either for the food, the deals, or just the vibe.

This is an excellent place for burgers and fries. Was there on a Saturday evening and the place was just jammed. I had a large order for me and co workers I asked the person if they could label each order. Even though they were super busy they still had time to take a bit of time to label them. Was worth the wait. Lots of options for burgers. I had the banquet and fries. Gravy is excellent as well and the prices are fair and even less than the competition a block away. My co worker also had the purine and commented that there were lots of cheese curds.

The riverside burgers were amazing and the fries were crunchy. But unfortunately the cleanliness was terrible, the floor was sticky everywhere, the ketchup bags were super oily at touch on the outside, customer service was just OK, barely heard a response to our Hi, they went out smoking leaving the main door open so the smoke came in... You could tell they were not very happy to work there. I can only recommend a take out.

Got the cheeseburger and it was just ok I usually love a lot of sauce but the garlic aoli didn t have much flavour and there was too much of it. Overall pretty flavourless. Also I don t love red onions just thrown on . Pickles were good. Overall wouldn t return.

★★★
August 23, 2024

Its a small cozy place, which wasnt an issue since I was getting my food to go and walking back to a friends place. Service was nice, it was a Thursday evening that I went and they were steady with business. They have a good variety of walk in specials which I opted to choose from. I had the cheeseburger combo which came with fries and a drink and came up to a little under $17 with taxes. Burger was decent, nothing life changing but I enjoyed it. Im knocking off a star from my review mostly because some of my fries werent really fully cooked (still hard?) so not sure exactly what happened there. Again, they were pretty busy when filling my order so Im willing to cut them some slack, but it was a little disappointing given the price of the meal.

★★★★★
August 23, 2024

My go-to spot for a no nonsense burger. The patty is made fresh and the meat is good quality. The flavour is juicy and the bun they use is of high quality. I support these small joints doing their thing - a magnitude above overhyped places like Shake Shack. Id even say these guys are better than Burger Drops.

★★★★★
August 23, 2024

Picture this. You haven t eaten all and you re craving a nice juicy burger (in my case 2) which won t leave you feeling like crap after. This is the spot. Between two brioche buns is a fresh grilled patty with any of the delicious combinations of topping that you choose. I like. I come again.

★★★
June 23, 2024

I used to love this place but now the burger portion feels so small for the price. $15 for a small burger. Most classic burger options don t come with fries and you have to buy the fries separately I won t come back.

This is a good spot to check out if you re in the area. The riverside burger was satisfactory for the price point. It was missing some sauce and more flavour in my opinion. I would come back to try others on the menu!

Just finished eating. Was expecting so much better based off the reviews other people left. Got the poutine and it was pretty decent (I agree that it s way too small for the price). Liberty burger was okay the beef wasn t seasoned or juicy, they weren t smashed patties so was hoping for them to be juicy at least. Kind of dry. the toppings were a good composition, wish I could have added more mayo or anything else other than the ketchup packs provided. The bun was toasted but also very soft. I m still hungry :( Maybe ill give you guys another shot one day, I wouldn t go out of my way though

Wanted to try a new burger place and we read the glowing reviews so we came out to try it. I ordered the dill-i-cio as I m a huge sucker for dill pickles. My boyfriend ordered the liberty burger and a poutine. We both took one bite of our burger and we both instantly realized that the burger paddy was completely lacking in flavour. It just tasted like grocery store caliber ground beef without a lick of salt. After a few more bites I started to enjoy it more, as I feel all the other elements of a good burger were executed well: great bun, fresh, toasted but still soft and delicious. The toppings were a great flavour profile, and the poutine, although pricey, was very good. But when you go to a burger place you re going for the paddy and it definitely disappointed us. For me it s not worth returning to, but it did fill my belly. Seating area is not large so come on off peak hours if possible, service was friendly and the place looks relatively clean.

This place is amazing. The couple who own it are lovely and its truly a family affair. Everyone who works there is kind and courteous and goes out their way to make it a nice experience for their customers. The burgers are busting with flavour and they always to toss the fries in fryer when you come in for pick up so theyre super fresh! Theyve also recently changed their fries to a thicker cut from the usual julienne and theyre some of the best in the neighborhood. The onion rings have a delicious crispy coating and are never soggy or oily (same goes for the deep fried pickles). Weve been going for years and have never been disappointed.

A tiny little burger shop with some big flavours. Very good burgers, the onion rings were out of this world, and they even have a small selection of beers. The BBQ sauce is a tad sweet for my tastes, but their aioli is top notch! Dont come here expecting anything fancy though, its a tiny place. Counter service and very little room to sit. Mostly a takeout spot, but if its a nice day youll have more luck sitting down as there are tables outside. Highly recommend

Excellent food but you really really need to clean your toilets. Fortunately we didnt check the condition of the toilets before eating

Came in for a quick bite and not sure what was happening but it reeked inside. That was unpleasant so opted to site outside at their patio. The patio is nice, they have umbrellas for shade. Tried the cheese burger and it was alright. Found it a bit dry, so neither of us could finish it. It was just lacking flavour. The fries were tasty though, perfectly crispy. Service was quick. Parking: Street parking in surrounding area. Wheelchair accessibility: Barrier in place. Step to enter the restaurant.

I like Riverside Burgers OK. A lot of takeout burgers in the city are all alike, a bit chewy (gristle texture) and often with a hard crust and in comparison this place isn t as heavily fried and not as much gristle. The texture is firm but not too dry. A single is a fairly lightweight sandwich for the price. I got it fairly simple since I m not a topping junkie and it held up well with nice fresh simple toppings and a bun that was a bit delicate so it didn t get in the way. OK value and a neat area to hang out and walk around. RB has limited indoor seating and in the summer some casual tables curbside.

I was craving a burger, decided to try this place. The sign outside caught my eye burger fries and pop 13.99 came up over $16 We added Gravy total cost was $18.31 for one order. Doesn t add up. Anyway, I got my order, got home and noticed that there was no pop in the bag. The burger had no flavor. The only good thing about.was the caramelized onions and the bun The fries we re ok and the gravy, tasted like a store-bought gravy or something from a powder package to salty The service was nothing special . For that price, these guys have to step it up a notch. Definitely will not revisit this place. Whomp whomp

Excellent burgers and fries! I ordered the banquet and it was the best burger I ve had in recent memory. Great bun, meat, bacon, sauce and veggies. They even added jalapeños as I requested. The fries were also excellent; well seasoned and fresh. This is my new burger spot!

I work nights.Tired of fast food. Me and a coworker wanted to find a late night REAL burger spot. We stumbled upon Riverside trying to go to another burger joint down the street that had already turned their grill off. It was fate! THE BEST BURGERS in the city! Paired with Homemade thin cut fries that are a perfect variety of crispyness. Food is always fresh regardless of what time you walk in. not too pricey. Theyre clean, consistent and the owner is a solid dude. You can tell his food is made with love!

Have returned. Pretty good smash-esque style burgers with a nice crisp crust on their thick patties but let down by pretty tame fillings and lack of any sauce. Id say after having returned on two occasions that its not a top 5 for me, as the toppings are just not the same level as others like burger drops or Mattys patties.. Theres just no focused direction on flavours. Eg the coleslaw I had on my double was meh in quantity and quality. Didnt even notice it until I was nearly done. Barely any mayo and overall too try. Takes AMEX. $14-$20 per burger.

We got the Riverside burger and it was tasty but the meat was kind of overcooked. We also ordered onion rings -which were $8- but only received 5 onion rings. I know the economy is rough right now but 5 onion rings, come on... Staff was friendly but not sure its worth the price.

Big dirty burger and fries. Yes. Went at a super busy time and they still got the orders out quickly. Nice burger, cooked perfectly.
