Best chicken burger 🍔 I really loved it & great chef Jim
Delicious and JUICY burgers! Really great portion size / value! I got the Junior Bulging Burger and the flavours hit the spot. Must try and most satisfying burger fix!
My first time back in a while through no fault of this awesome burger joint. I had the cheeseburger and fries and it was fantastic. The burger was hot, fresh and delicious. Perfectly cooked. The fries are amazing. Price is comparable to other burger places in the area and well worth your time.
Fantastic burgers, we had the MooMoo & Cheese and a veggie (w beyond meat). Also loved the thin cut fries. Very friendly place too. Big fan!
We tried the Smokey n Pig and the Bulging burger. They were both very tasty but less sauce would be even better. Poutine was good but not hot enough though. They were closing but we didn't feel rushed.
First time here and the 1/2 lb burger is huge, bacon was nice and crispy, burger bit over cooked (and lots of sauce) , beef was flavorful and you can tell it's good quality meat and the prices are fair. Honestly it was a good burger, but Torontos burger game is tight right now and I didn't feel like this one was a top contender (I'm sorry). Poutine was made with thin fries and had a hint of sweet maple taste in the gravy which was really delicious and I would go back for that again, but the curds didn't have that real curd taste I was looking for. Onion rings were also fairly generic, good but likely came from a bag. Nice try guys, good food and I'd give it another shot if I was in the neighbourhood.
Finally reopened after a few years out during covid. Everything remains unchanged from before the pandemic. Menu is simple, burgers are excellent. I'm really happy to see the return of my go to spot for burgers in the area.
The owner of this burger 🍔 joint was very nice, friendly, and had a sense of humour. I had a bacon 🥓 cheese 🧀 burger and it was amazingly good because it was made fresh from scratch never frozen, the condiments were fresh never dry. The fries were really good not dry or oily and were cooked very well. The strawberry and light syrup vanilla milkshake was very good not too sweet and just right to enjoy it.
The Best Burger I ever had and onion rings. 5 stars PERFECT! Go buy your next meal from there. Food : 5/5
Great prices, delicious fries and burgers.
Best burgers in Toronto.
Moo Moooooooo I work all over the GTA. best burger I have had in a while period!!! Treat yourself
Best burger I ve had in a while, the prices were also great!
The owner was extremely nice and very personable. The poutine and the bulging burger were delicious. It was great value and I highly recommend!
Awesome
Best little burger joint in the neighborhood.
The hours are a bit irregular but if theyre open, then the burgers and fries are rock solid: I had the Greek burger and it was excellent, the fries and rings were also nice and crispy. Prices were in line with other fancy burger spots around the city, so no issues there either. Definite recommend! Parking: Parking around the Beaches can be a bit nightmarish when its busy, even at the tail end of Queen. Hopefully you can find some parking on a nearby sidestreet, if not godspeed!
Im guessing its window seating only since the flu hit...but thats ok...still a spot to sit if needed... Had the Bulging Burger..light on the sauce...which I asked for and it was perfect Juicy...cooked perfectly...wonderful bacon...Im stuffed....all I had was the burger and Im jammed...real food...real good!! Gotta try the Greek fries next time...I can respect a hard working restaurant putting out quality food..nothing fancy schmancy....but this formula will never disappoint.
Great burgers and the best french fries on Eastend
Got a double cheeseburger and a poutine. Poutine was very generous! Its thin cut fries here and a looot of cheese curds, definitely a meal by itself. The burger was a solid classic. Next time, Ill just ask for less sauce, but honestly very tasty and well constructed. Jim who made it for me was also a really nice guy! I love little places like this and this did not disappoint. Definitely give it a go!
This is hands down the best burger place in Toronto. If you like burgers, you will not be disappointed coming here. I travelled from Vancouver while visiting just to come back it s that good.
Really amazing burger and fries, freshly made to order. One of my fave burger spots in the city for take out
Best burger Ive had in a while.
About as close to a homemade burger as you can get. Made to order, with a good amount of toppings. Reminds me of a burger from 30 years ago, fresh, hot, great beef flavor and seasoning. You should go here and try them out!
Owned by a lovely couple. Well loved by many in our hood. Vegetarian options: Veggie burgers offereed Food : 5/5 |
So glad theyre back! Best burgers and friendly staff.
Glad to see these guys back in business best hamburger in Toronto hands down
Great local burger spot. Really good homemade patties and onion rings. Glad they reopened. Wish there were a few more options for kids, but this will be a regular spot for us.
Great Mediterranean fries!
Love this place! Simple, old school burgers, fresh ingredients and friendly staff. Had a cheeseburger and dined in (tall seats in the window with a great view of the street) and when the weather warms up, Ill be grabbing burgers and taking them down to the beach.
Friendly owners, best burger Ive had in a while.
Very friendly service. Food is excellent, fries are skinny cut and fried perfectly the poutine was amazing. And the burger was Bulging. Thank you!
Excellent food. High quality Burger, fresh toppings and delicious fries. Highly recommend.
Had the chicken gyro on pita . This is absolutely delicious. My new fav place to eat !
Very very good.
Never open despite the posted hours on the window. Have been many times and always closed. Maybe out of business?
Everything was delicious! The poutine was the standout for me. Cheese curds for days. Generous portions.
Lovely little mom & pop shop - and one thats actually has vegan/veggie options! Thank god. Husband and I both enjoyed their fare and will be back whenever were on the east end!! Vegetarian options: Beyond burger
Great neighbourhood burger joint. Reliable, reasonable and tasty. Love the burgers, fries and chicken fingers.
Probably the first really good takeout Toronto burger in years. Really nice beef, old-school. patty is substantial, no gristle texture, not overcooked and crisp like popular Smashburger style. I like the classic toppings, house burger sauce is good. Seems like a nice value. Strictly takeout, very fast. And it s a nice beachside neighborhood with easy side street parking most of the time.
The Smokey & the Pig was really delicious and flavourful, would love to go back and try more
A consistently great burger every time we ve had it (and there have been many). Very kind, easygoing service. Love the burgers, fries and the decadent milkshakes. Food
The chicken gyro is delicious and has been every time I order. Yet to have a gyro to top it in the city.
Incredible burgers in the beaches area. Their taziki burger is a go-to a long with some poutine. Portions are great too! Delicious fresh burger thats not greasy. Hope this place stays around for a long time.
Easily one of the best burgers I ve had top 3 for sure.
very nice and clean amazing service with a nice smile Ill definitely keep on ordering food from this best resto
First time picking up burgers and fries tonight. Not to be missed - great food, great value, friendly service. Help support local - if you are craving a fresh burger and fries ... topped off by a homemade milkshake ...look no further. Great Friday night treat!!
Loved the milkshakes. There burgers were very good. Definitely recommend this place
grabbed a couple of burgers and fries here last night, it was all delcious... and anywhere that loads up a poutine with that many cheese curds definitely deserves five stars! look forward to going back the next time Im down in the beaches.
Loove this place. Fresh ingredients, great portion sizes, and amazing value. Go support this family business, you won t be disappointed!
First time ordering from here and they have won my burger business in the future. Great burgers, fries were amazing and well seasoned. Great work Bulging Burger!
By far the best burgers in town.
A wonderful burger joint in the Beaches. Great tasting burgers and big portions of sides. We will be returning.
The burger was absolutely delicious and the chocolate shake was superb. I will definitely be back!!
great no frill fresh juicy burger
consistent and fresh
For the moment theyre closed due to a family issues, but... This is THE place in the beaches to get ur burger on. The feta/Greek fries are a meal in itself. Milkshakes like out of the 50s (not that Im that old)
I went there after hearing about it from a friend. wasnt expecting too much of a great place as a burger joint. But boy after the first bite the experience totally threw me off. Totally one of the best places to have burger if not the best around there. I am very picky about everything about my burgers, the meat was very unique ad so was the way the burger was assembled. Thanks for the great experience. The fries werent anything special but i completely forgot about them.
Great burgers!! Great service! Our favourite place for burgers
Amazing burger!!! Definitely, get the house sauce. Best burger in the East End
Freshly made burgers - really tasty and house sauce is awesome. Poutine was great too, if a little large :) Recommend a visit.
Awesome family run establishment in the beaches.
The burger of my dreams. A place run with love and care
Best burger ever, I m missing it so much in covid lockdown, please open soon!!!
Nice little spot. The patty was delicious and their house sauce made it even better!
great burger and shake!
Best burger stop in the beaches. Get Smokey & The Pig, a poutine and milkshake So glad they reopened!!!
Great burger/poutine/milkshake
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! BEST BURGER OF MY LIFE!!!!!! MOO MOO AND CHEESE =EXPLOSION!!!
Guys get here ASAP, help your local restaurants! I just had it and it reminds of me of a non fast food McDonalds version! It was amazing! Solid all around and simple! Get it!
Literally the best smash burgers in my life! If you like feta cheese, you MUST get the Greek burger and feta fries!!
Amazing food, amazing service, amazing prices! Cant wait to go back soon!
Had to get take out because of covid but they offer beyond meat burgers and they were great! Perfectly cooked and dressed perfectly. The fries were also surprisingly crispy and amazing. Will definitely be going back to pick up more!
Really hits the spot for burgers. Everything is fresh and delicious
Excellent food, burgers and chicken equally good and a wonderful family run place.
I had the moo moo and cheese with a side of fries and a milkshake. Hands down one of the best burgers Ive had and Im always a fan of thin hand cut fries. The milkshake was thick and made with real ice cream. Ditch the diner and have a much better quality meal at bulging burger. I cant wait to come back and try out those feta fries.
The bulging burger is fantastic. One of the best Ive ever had. The place is small and is good for a lunch or take out.
Pretty good hamburgers
Great food at great prices
Great burger place! Very cute little local run shop with great food, and friendly people. Our burgers and poutine were wonderful. Just as good as some of the trendy burger places.
Amazing food for a low price worth every single cent, best burger in Toronto
This place is actually amazing! Best burger in the beach and more then reasonable prices, especially when you consider the quality and size. Good for all ages family and friends. If you want a burger in the beaches this is, without a doubt, the place to go. When eating there I recommend the bulging burger as it comes with its house sauce, which speaks for itself. If your getting a side of fries Id also suggest upgrading to the Greek fries. This Greek spin on poutine is extremely delicious, and can easily be split by two!
Best burger and fries in the east end, possibly the city. The price properly reflects quality & portion size
One of the best burgers Ive had. They make the patty right in front of you and it is super tasty. They are very friendly and kind. I was very pleased with the experience. The fries can be better but thats not a deal breaker.
The namesake burger, The Bulging Burger, was absolutely delicious. Also had the poutine and although I tend to prefer thick gravy it was still excellent. Over all a great burger joint. Highly recommended.
The namesake burger is very good. Will be going back to try the other options available.
Great burger & onion rings! Extra-friendly service.
Great burgers!
Excellent burgers for a reasonable price. I have been here dozens of times and its always been a good experience. Very friendly staff.
Wow! Okay guys listen, I rarely make reviews so when I do it s because i either had the worst experience ever or the absolute BEST! And this place just blew me away. It s a young married couple from Greece running the place and they re whipping up burgers and fries that are JUST as good as the food in Greece! And listen, if you haven t been fortunate enough to experience food in Greece, then go to The Bulging Burger and check it out!! Unreal. From the outside looking in, I honestly wasn t sure if I was going to like this place. But I am so glad I gave them a chance. Get the feta fries.
We had the bulging burger and it was FANTASTIC! Great fries, lovely owner, cant wait to get back and try the milkshakes.
Great burgers and fries
The ideal burger taste! everyone who loves a proper burger should eat here.
We got the Moo Moo & Cheese and the Feta Fries. WOWWWWWWWWW!!! So Good!!!! Shredded feta as opposed to big chunks of it. The burger was amazing and you can taste everything in AND they use Real cheese!!! Rustic and Very Tasty!! Reasonable price for everything and Definitely worth coming here and well be back!!!
The best burgers ever! It s such a fresh patty you can feel the difference in the meat. I don t think I ve ever had a homemade burger like that before. So juicy and flavour full you don t wanna over dress it, you wanna be able to really enjoy the burger. Well worth the money
I love good burgers and am usually disappointed, but this place makes really excellent burgers. Good quality, perfectly cooked patties, generous amounts of smokey bacon and cheddar and fresh toppings. I usually prefer bbq burgers, but this flat griddle burger is one of the best in town.
What a great burger, one of the best Ive had in the city so far! The girlfriend and I stopped in after an afternoon at the beach and both ordered a moo-moo with cheese with a side fries. Every thing was perfect, juicy ruby tomatoes, crisp lettuce, 2 smashed patties, and their special sauce was delicious! Great place to stop off at on your trip to the beaches!
Great burger. Got THE Bulging Burger and a Poutine. Would definitely come here again. Top ten for sure. Bathrooms need an update.
Delicious burger. Generously cheesy poutine.
Holy moly these burgers are fantastic! Amazing poutine too
I ve eaten here for years! It s by far one of the best VEGGIE burgers I ve ever had. It s a family run business. Jim is awesome! I ve been going long enough that Jim knows my order right off the bat. I often meet my friends here for a burger. And if I have a vegetarian in the mix, this is a must have veggie burger. No one has ever been disappointed.
They taste so delicious and has great options for the burgers. The fries are thing and crispy and the orders are made quickly!
Hands down the best burger in the city
Good burgers, but the fries seem like little potato scraps.
The burger itself is good, the onion rings are good sometimes well done sometimes not cooked properly, buyer beware whatever you do do not order the chicken you will get a nasty piece of chicken breast that looks white, when the menu board makes it look like something totally different, this place is only good for 1 thing burgers and thats it.
Delicious burgers and wonderful smiles. I loved eating at this family business. The service was excellent, the taste was fabulous. Highly recommended if you are looking for a quick bite.
One of the best burgers Ive had in Toronto.
Amazing food (we had the veggie burgers), great service and polite staff. This was a perfect dining experience. The food was made fast and was so filling we almost couldnt finish. The atmosphere there was relaxing and quiet. About $25 will get you two burgers, two sides and drinks, and the experience was worth every penny. We will definitely be back.
This is a great place for a burger and fries. My step son and I go every couple of weeks. Very nice people and I cant say enough about the taste and quality of their burger.
Deeeeeelicious! Honest to goodness burger joint. Everything is cooked while you wait, or you can simply call ahead and pick up.
Amazing burgers and fries as well as the best milkshakes I ever had.
Never been
The Bulging Burger was amazing!! The Bulging Burger was absolutely delicious and it was simply bulge-tastic! Would recommend to all those who love a good burger!!
Great homemade burger and fries at a very reasonable price. A hidden gem of a burger joint on Queen East. If it were a bit further west, this place would always be busy.
This may be my favourite burger joint in the Beach. Its a hole in the wall, but the husband and wife team who run it are kind and courteous. And the homemade burgers live up to their name, bulging out the sides of the bun and oozing a sweet meld of sauces and your favourite toppings. These are real man burgers the whole family will enjoy.
My husband and I happened upon this place after an emergency visit to the vet across the street and were not disappointed! The burgers, fries, and onion rings were fresh and very delicious. We will definitely be back.
Great burgers here
Very nice guy, great food! Good bang for youre buck
Eat here and get your burger fix now Really enjoyed this place and the owners comes from Greek roots, hence the Greek flare ;) Everything is reasonably priced, super fresh and down to earth. I got the bulging burger and wife got the moo moo The bulging burger rules ! Its like their version of the big Mac on steroids with 2 patties and 3 buns. Moo moo was super cheesy, but having had both, would go with the bulging, but thats just me. Patties were crumbly and moist and the buns were just the right texture. Fresh lettuce, tomatoes and mayo made the burger amazing Fries were fresh and crispy and onion rings was quite a sizeable portion. Simple fresh burgers at its best. Will 100% be back
Great food with friendly service. This is my healthy cheat meal place. If youve never been, you have to go. Also dont discount their chicken menu either. No matter what you order youll be well fed!
Excellent burgers!!!! Its on my list to go back again. It filled a craving for a burger in a most wonderful way!!! Thanks
Had lunch there today, small place but if your craving a burger and fries, walk in here. Wish I lived closer would try the rest of the menu.
There is nothing amazing, just a nice burger for a good price. It is family owned place and they seem like nice people that try their best. If you are hungry stop by and order a burger.
Ive lived down the street from this place for two years and regret that today was my first time coming in. Delicious bacon cheeseburger, fresh toppings and perfect shoestring fries. The staff member was very nice as well. Highly recommend for when youre craving some beef.
So gloriously tasty. One of my favourite beach gems.
Tiny independent burger joint down at the end of Queen East, just before you reach the Neville Loop streetcar turnaround point and the R. C. Harris plant. They have a handful of different burgers, all executed excellently. I rarely give out 5 stars, but Bulging Burger deserves it. One of the best in Toronto.
I ordered the feta burger and I found it to be too sour and acidic it was only okay
I never rate restaurants however today I must make an exception after I had a juicy Bulging Burger. Cooked perfectly with fresh toppings I must say this was the best burger I ve ever had. The gentleman working was extremely friendly and greeted us when we came in with a smile.
Food was really delicious and service was really friendly. Will definitely be back!
Freshly ground beef done by them. Nice mom and pop couple, young and should be there for a long time. Licensed.
Best burger in the Beaches
No nonsense, awesome burgers, fantastic fries.
Fantastic!
Great burger and homemade fries. Yummy! Beats Licks by a mile.
Great burgers and fries! Price for 2 burgers, 2 drinks, a fries and gravy was great!
Amazing burgers! Salard is a little expensive for what it is but the rest just simple tasty! The place is very welcoming, the owner is super friendly. The tzatziki sauce is great. the Bulging burger was simply beautiful (if you eventually managed to wrapped your teeth around it!). Home made fries are very very good. Great value for money! definately a must try after a beach walk!
Awesome, friendly, quiet. May have honestly been the best burger Ive ever had. I will definitely be coming back.
The grilled chicken sandwich was such a light and flavorful meal, cant wait to come back for more!
I love this place! Best Bang for your buck and everything on the menu is amazing. Its a small clean place with a very friendly owner.
Good but pricey for what you buy
Excellent
They have some pretty awesome burgers!
good variety affordable pricing
Been here 3 times. 1st time got their feature burger ,it was missing the bacon. 2nd time fries were very soggy. 3 rd time food was good, paid by debit and the debit prompter asked for tip percentage, so aI tipped the owner of the business . I didnt like being put in that position
What a gem. How did I just find out about this place? Ive lived in the Beach for 7 years. Phenomenal burger, great value, delicious sauce and very clean kitchen.
First time and definitely wont be the last time. Delicious burgers & tasty fries...oh and the poutine is great also.
Very good home-style burgers. Really friendly service.
Amazing burgers. Messy, sloppy and yummy. Expect to leave full and with 5 napkins well soiled. I recommend the simple cheeseburger, fully loaded.
Great place. Delicious burgers.
Delicious, quick burgers in the beach!
The service and hospitality is excellent. I recommend the tzaziki fries! Those are a steal. Prices right and a huge quantity. Check em out. You wont be disappointed!
