South St Burger Co

Your typical south st burger chain, its usually not busy and you can be in and out within 30 mins or so during peak hours. If you’re looking for a quick delicious burger in Oakville this is the place to go.

It was kind of pricey when all is said and done, but tasty none the less. I got a combo, nothing special… just a 4 oz burger, with a side and a fountain drink, and it was almost $ 12.
I was most annoyed about how long it took. There wasn’t a line, no one really in front of me. I asked how long it would take, because I had somewhere to be. They said 5 minutes, and in reality it really took closer to 12 minutes to make a burger. That’s a freaking long time. If I weren’t hungry, I would have been pissed off.
I would have appreciated it if the staff had a much stronger sense of timing. Definitely don’t come here if you are in a rush, you will be disappointed. They don’t move fast here.

Meh. I have had a few burgers from here, and while they aren’t bad, they just aren’t all that great. The choices are solid, but the ingredients seem pretty average to below average in quality. If you are dying for a quick burger, it is worth a stop but not a destination.

Might as well go to Burger King and pay less. $ 15 for two burgers, no sides like fries, one small watered down soft drink (which tasted weird). Had to order a side of fries as an extra. Burger was nothing special, small for the price. Skip this place.

Solid place. The food here is great, the staff are not the most outgoing but they are courteous. This is a great place to come if you are creative, as the best burgers are the ones with topping combinations not on the suggested menu (not that those are bad.) They have a huge selection of toppings that you normally would have to order a la carte that you can mix and match. I recently made a curry (Indian inspired) burger that was quite good using curry mayo, mango chutney etc. I also have made ones that were Tex-​Mex inspired with pepper jack, guacamole, and spicy ketchup.
Also the fries are great, and to be honest for the price it’s not bad compared to other more expensive fast food style burger places in the area, i.e. Licks or A&W.

I enjoyed my chicken sandwich on gluten free bun. Not sure why this place has so many bad reviews. I was the only customer but it was a late lunch during the holidays. I tried to go back but they were closed when I went. I will go again.

Very expensive Harvey’s style place, but well worth it as an occasional treat. Would have given it 5 if staff were more helpful.

Service was sketchy and disorganized (they forgot the bacon and put ketchup on my burger despite my not asking for it). But they made amends by giving us coupons for two free burgers. It was also awkward having to eat bunless burgers on such a ridiculously small paper plate and with small plastic cutlery.
Despite this, the food was great (including quality meats with no fillers, preservatives, antibiotics or hormones) and they’re stocked with all the toppings you’ll ever need. Price is what I expected given the quality meats. Go to McDonalds if you’re a cheap-​ass who likes wood chips in his burgers.

Given the build up, I was disappointed in this restaurant. Yes the burgers are nicer than the standard burger joints, but not that much better.
I found the staff indifferent, disorganized, and did not make me feel I was in a premium fast food establishment. In one word I would say: underwhelming.
Suggestions to management: get your staff motivated, and get organized otherwise you will lose repeat customers.

I had high hopes as well. I gave them 3 stars because there is a good variety of toppings, including Cajun onions which was the highlight. The burger was a bit over-​cooked so it was dry. Taste was ok, but for the price, I’ve had better (Stampede and Chuck Co are better).
I had a combo and my wife had poutine and it came to $ 20 which wouldn’t be so bad if the food was better. I always try a place twice so I’ll try again and hopefully they won’t over-​cook the burger again.

Read the bad reviews and didn’t really understand it. It’s not too bad, the burger isn’t near a Hero Burger or Licks at all but I think it’s better than Harvey’s.
Pretty expensive too, but from the amount of toppings, you’re getting a lot. The menu is a little confusing at first but it’s easy to get used to it.
Cool atmosphere too, I’d go here again but probably only on special occasions.

I had high hopes for this place — a good burger place in Oakville would be a nice addition to our office lunch rotation. Sadly, that search will continue.
Where to even begin?
The menu was confusing — it was not immediately obvious that the difference between Regular and Small was the size of the patty, not the sides. This led to a lot of confusion in our party. Actually getting the burger topped, we were presented with a very nice array of choices — five different cheeses alone! — and astounding ineptitude when it came to fulfillment. I had to repeat each topping twice for the staff member to actually put it on the burger, and even then they nearly omitted my bacon. I’m fairly certain I got a small patty rather than the regular I paid for.
The burger itself was quite dry and tasteless — our group generally felt that McDonald’s would have been an improvement. The toppings were good, however, but that’s hardly enough to constitute a meal. The fries were not up to normal New York Fries standards, and I have it on good authority that the Poutine was unacceptable — cold gravy and unmelted cheese curds.
Portion sizes were oddly small given the price. The drink was a regular, which would probably be a small at a more honest establishment, and was in the realm of a kid’s size by US standards (which are, however, wack). Fries were also on the order of a small at other establishments.
The kicker, however, was the price. My combo — «regular» drink, small fries, and a bacon cheeseburger, came to about $ 13. I wouldn’t mind so much if I’d enjoyed, say, the burger part of the meal, but alas.
Maybe some of this can be attributed to growing pains. Maybe the fry quality and burger taste will improve, though I don’t expect the value for money to move much at all. I, however, am not likely to witness any such transformation, as I doubt I’ll be back.
