South St. Burger

I am surprised at how big their 4 oz burger is, compared to other burger places that has a 4 oz patty.
Flavor has always been consistent. I always get the regular beef burger. yummy! I love how you have so much choices for toppings as well.
Once I tried their hotdog, but I wasn’t too impressed, so I never ordered it again. Somehow I find DQ’s hotdog better tasting. :/​
Me and my husband always get their poutine, which is a must try! They really do load it up with cheese curds and the gravy is to die for. Not salty at all, it’s just delicious!
Cheese is a dollar extra. If you buy a combo, you get $ 1 off.
The place has a lot of seating, ample parking spaces outside, really good atmosphere. The staff are friendly, and the place is clean and well-​kept.

Nice selection of condiments. but other than that I don’t see any reason I’d go back.
Fries were average and I did not enjoy the burger, I’ve had better at home from frozen M&M burgers.
Service was also slow and the burger was done a good 5 minutes before the fries were and really no reason for that as they had multiple fryers they could have used.

The buger was alright but the poutine was terrible. The gravy is very salty and looks like hair gel I would not recommend my friends to go there and the price is a bit too high for these low quality food

The True North Burger. Double cheddar, double bacon, 4 oz naturally raised beef patty, maple syrup infused onions. How about a tiny tasteless patty topped with almost invisible and totally tasteless bacon and a tiny little bit of onion without a hint of maple? The 5oz burger I had at A&W last week was almost twice the size (how do you manage that with 1oz size difference?)and definitely better tasting, and for less! Never again will I waste a meal on this poor excuse for a gourmet burger place!

I got a Hawaiian chicken sandwich. It was ~$ 10. The sandwich was nothing special. Service was good and the place seemed clean with good parking. Nothing makes me want to go back right away.

I ordered a burger combo and it was around $ 13. I think the prices are on the upper end of burger chains. In comparison with other chains in terms of quality, I would rate South St. Burger Co. above Hero Burgers and Burger King.
I liked the variety of toppings they had to offer. They seem to use whole grain buns which made the burger tougher to bite into. The patties were slightly above average. It just wasn’t as juicy and fulfilling as I would like them to be. The New York fries were decent but not good enough as the ones I get at food courts.
The staff patiently waited for me to decide what to order and was very polite.
I would come back again.

Came in here for lunch. Got the chicken burger and veggie works poutine.
New York Fries Co. offers 3 poutine choices: regular, pulled pork or veggie works
Burgers are made to order so it takes time. About a 5 – 10 min wait
There were so many super fresh toppings on display and you can load up on your toppings no limit to number of choices, lots of variety. Loved the guacamole at no extra charge and the wasabi mayo! I thought everything tasted great.

I actually really like south st. burger co, because they have guacamole! and I always ask for LOTS of it, yum! besides that I find the burger juicy and not dry, I like the CHEESE options and This is one of my fav locations because they person putting my burger together is very generous on the ingredients, and you can always for extra, I always get more tomatoes also yum. The toppings are endless and this is why I love coming here.
It also helps that they search NEW YORK FRIES! yum!
it just some times annoys me when the person in front of me doesn’t know what they want on their burger or takes forever to decide.

Come here a few times. You can pick your own choices of what need to be in the burger. The meat is average, not as good as Angus. I don’t think I find in other burger store condiment like Guacamole, wasabi mayo. Each customer is given a round metal container rather than a normal tray. If you want sautéed mushrooms, it needs to be charge for 50 cents for small and a dollar for large portion. I still think that New York Fries by itself has fries better than offer in South St. even though they are from the same company.

Burgers are piece of garbage, frozen patty from market tastes better. Only thing that saves this plase are the new york fries which are standard and the onion rings are nice and crisp without being smothered in batter, has a nice light bread crumb like batter.

Good burgers, more grilled than Harvey’s.
My go to place whenever I feel like a good burger. Normally it’s Harveys but I find even with Harveys their burgers have become lacking since they’ve dropped their delicious Ultra burger. Their choices of sides are severely lacking.
Not at South St. Burger. Owned by the same company that runs New York Fries, their fries are naturally, made with New York Fries in mind. :)
Burgers are always juicy, hot to order on the grill. Over a dozen choices for sides, you can get anything you want on your burger, including several mustards like spicy, dijon, sweet, hot to several ketchups, sides such as cucumbers, sweet onions, even humus! I like their hot relish the most with sweet relish, creates a fine contrast on my burger.
At the end of the day, it is a fast food restaurat but their burgers are delectable to bite into. You can definitely taste the fresh grilled meat patty. Everything is made fresh to order.
Will definitely drop by at least once or twice a month as it’s near my work place. ;)

I have been to this location a couple times in the past two years and finally decided to go back last Sunday. As I walk in, we were invited by the mouth watering burger scent with a lovely employee at cash taking down our orders.
We decided to go with the regular burger with a side of large onion rings and a bacon cheese burger with pulled pork poutine. The wait was manageable and it took I’d say less than 10 minutes to cook our food. On the regular burger, I asked for all my favourite toppings which includes, wasabi mayo, lettuce, two slices of pickles, honey mustard, bbq sauce, and guacamole. On the bacon cheese burger, we asked for every topping possible — sounds gross but it was de-​lish!
Surprisingly, with all the toppings that we ordered, the sesame buns were not soggy nor were they moist with all the sauce. I absolutely enjoyed the pulled pork poutine and the crispy lightly breaded fresh onion rings were not bad either.
As we finished all our food, we decided to grab two waffle cones for dessert — strawberry and pralines and cream. They were delicious. Need I say more?
Overall, as a incredibly picky eater especially when it comes down to burgers — South St. Burger Markham is not too shabby. The cashier was helpful and very kind so were the staffs that worked last Sunday night. I definitely do not mind blowing $ 30 on burgers and ice cream waffle cones here!

The burger was okay. Better than McD, but who doesn’t. The menu is okay, toppings are pretty much the same as Harvey’s. But the service was bad.

Nothing special here. Not sure what all the hype is about. Burger was average but they have some cool toppings. I will go to Harvey’s next time. NY fries were good but I can get that at the local mall.

Ventured up to Markham and checked out the South St. Burger Co. joint along Woodbine. It’s a relatively new location in a plaza that’s still waiting to fill in. The décor was nice and simple. Being a new restaurant helps as everything appeared well kept and clean.
Heading in, I wanted to have a relatively quick dinner before doing my long list of errands for the night. I ordered a hamburger combo with an added swiss cheese and onion rings instead of fries. For the fry lovers, South St. serves New York Fries, so that should please a few people. And for first timers, South St. serves a wide variety of toppings so feel free to go nuts. This is definitely a strength of South St.‘s. I went with lettuce, onions, tomato, pickles, ketchup, guacamole and garlic mayo on a white Kaiser bun.
The wait wasn’t too bad at about 10 minutes. But considering its «fast food», this could easily be considered a long wait. But to me, everything is made fresh when you order so the wait was worth it for me. Grab my food and proceed to try it out. Biting into the burger was very nice. I liked the taste of the patty and the toppings well worked together. However to my surprise, there doesn’t seem to be enough sauce with my burger. I think the problem lied with the Kaiser bun being somewhat very floury. With each bite, it took away the moisture from the burger as whole. If it wasn’t for the Kaiser bun, this would have been a nice little burger. The onion rings were nice and fresh. Battered well and there’s a number of seasoning that’s available. I was somewhat rushing but I did put on the California seasoning with my rings and it tasted great together.
Overall, I liked South St. Burger Co. Being owned by New York Fries, you can expect better sides than your typical burger joint. If you’re a NYF lover, then you would take comfort in their sides and the seasonings that’s offered. I wish the Kaiser bun wasn’t as floury. I mean it was fresh but the amount of flour really took away from the fresh ingredients, the fresh toppings and the fresh burger. So even with the floury Kaiser bun, I liked it enough that I would come back.

My experiences at South St. Burger was quite plesant compared to other Unilocalers.
Got the WagJag coupon $ 5 for $ 10 so decided to give this place a try.
Just ordered the basic burger combo $ 8.70 before taxes so the coupon just enough to cover the combo.
Love the whole wheat buns they used. firm and fluffy at the same time.
Love the toppings selections: guacamole, big leafy lettuces, spicy mayo/​ketchup, extra hot peppers… I made myself a spicy burger!
The meat itself I found it quite standard… but for sure it is better than frozen patties and the fact that it is naturally raised or other grimmicky thing they mentioned did not improve the taste of the initial burger. If I have to eat the meat by itself, I would said it is a little dry. but when I eat with all the condiments I have to say it is A-​OK.
The servers I have are all nice and friendly, but I just order the most basic thing on the menu, I really
I don’t mind come back again if I get another coupon… $ 5 for that combo is a sweet deal… but for full price? I think it will not be the first choice if I want to have a «gourmet» burger!

Never have I felt the need to log on to a website and post a scathing review of a restaurant, and yet, here I am, an empty greasy paper bag on the passenger seat and sitting in a parking lot pecking away at the painfully small iPhone keyboard stuck in portrait mode on the Unilocal app.
Don’t get me wrong, I knew exactly what I was in for when I stepped through the doors to the chain restaurant that, while proclaiming itself «one of the best burgers in Toronto» also depends on converting mass quantities of raw beef into cooked disc-​shaped food items. I was not expecting a gourmet burger, heck, I wasn’t even expecting a great burger. I was hoping at best to overpay for a decent burger and perhaps a milkshake of some sort.
However, the noun «disc» ended up referring not only to the shape of the burger but also unfortunately is the best descriptor of its texture, consistency, and flavour. Contrary to the sign at the cash, this burger was *not* cooked to 160 °F, or at least stayed on the grill for a good 2 or 3 minutes after achieving that supposed nirvana of internal hamburger temperature, straight into a charred, rubbery, cottony puck.
To be fair, I was cheap and only got the small burger, it is quite possible that they are better with the standard 5.6 oz burger. I will concede that if proven otherwise.
As a side, in a rare moment of sheer unbridled optimism, I ordered the poutine. It wasn’t long before I was reminded of why I normally stick with cynicism, especially with the TO fast food scene.
Fries are your standard NY Fries, skins on, faux-​home-​fries. When the girl took out a scoop and started to put some sort of cheese product on them, my heart fluttered momentarily– could it really be? Real cheese curds??? As she glopped on a gravy concoction, my mind was racing: NY Fries must know about cheese curds… Why would she have scooped them out? They must be…
Well all my hopes were mercilessly crushed by the sheer weight of the Ontarian concept of poutine with Capitalism sitting perched on its shoulders. This were not cheese curds suspended in the room temperature school cafeteria grade gravy. It was a mozzarella stick chopped into little cubes. I felt like I was in some sort of culinary horror flick, but instead of wanting to yell «DON’T OPEN THE DOOR» at my Schrodingerian past self, I realized that as much as I felt the need to indict the owners and operators of South St burger, it really was me that was the villain in this overplayed B-​movie.
Well at least the chocolate milkshake was ok.

The exterior of the building gives an imagery of a formal-​esque restaurant rather than a fast food restaurant, where the description name stating BURGER would normally suggest casual-​family dining environment.
The interior conforms to a medium status similar to the ideas of the most recent Lick’s designs. It did have a single LCD on the wall with a Hockey game on which is the only good I can point out.
Finding our way to the order line, we were GREETED with a newly hired cashier. She was trying her best but unfortunately it was almost idiotic to a point of frustration. That was because of her lack of training and knowledge of the menu items and the sales terminal.
My friend asked for Burger & Poutine, and was asked OVER & OVER again if he wanted Gravy on the Poutine for EXTRA fee while my friend REPLIED back multiple times that Poutine should have gravy as part of the dish.
I did the same DAMN mistake and asked for something above average such as the MOCHA SHAKE. After the cashier rang my order in, she went to make my shake and shortly provided it.
She TOOK it back before I can grab it. She forgot to BREW the coffee to mix it into the Ice Cream! I had a seat after getting my Burger and WAITED until the Coffee & Ice Cream concoction was brought out to me after we finished our Burgers.
As we waited in the line for the Burgers, I saw the In-​Charge Manager grilling the meats for the Burgers and putting in a thermometer to TEST out each and everyone. I wasn’t sure if I’m suppose to feel SAFER or more NERVOUS.
The Poutine was done as part of the New York Fries side where a young kid was handling it but the lady taking our condiment order for the Burger looked at the Poutine with a TABLESPOON of Gravy on it and she took over and started pouring the Gravy like Niagara Falls, just like how it should be.
The Burger even with what was advertised as HORMONE-​FREE Meat and had Specialty Condiments did not make it any better in appearance nor flavour.
All these things add up to a NEGATIVE Burger & Fries experience when I found myself paying at about the same price as Lick’s with the Service & Quality of a vending machine.
