Big Smoke Burger

Overall good burger and fries, but the wait was so long just to get it. Overpriced also.

Yumm smokey beef square one missisauga offers halal beef which easily makes em the best halal burger joint
Wish all their locations did that !!

Good lunch spot. Better many of the other similar burger chains. Good choice of burgers. Had both the blue burger and just a regular cheeseburger on separate occasions. Both times good service and the food tasted great.

Rip off. Not going there again. Very small portion and thy ask for extra money for each topping.

Good burgers, terrible buns. Also, their default is «medium rare». Not sure how that’s safe with ground beef. A single piece of meat is perfectly safe to eat undercooked. But once it’s been through a grinder, it really should be cooked fully.

Was pretty impressed with this Burger. Great toppings, taste, and size. I recommend the onion rings. There are alot of better burgers in town like bareburger around the corner. But it’s a great fast food gourmet type place to eat.

Got my order wrong, but no big deal. Patty wasn’t exactly dry (definitely not medium rare) but it wasn’t juicy either. Everything was just about average; a clean burger and light onion rings. Nothing special.

After wandering on Queen St. W I came here to meet my hubby & we had lunch. I tried the organic burger with fries & a side order of onion rings so we could share. The burger, fries, onion rings & a bottle of water came to $ 20.30. Pretty pricey if you ask me. But then again it was an organic burger. The food was decent. The burger was good but nothing special. I can buy organic burgers at the natural foods store that cost less & taste better. I liked the fries which were seasoned but it got quite salty towards the bottom of the bowl. The onion rings were ordinary. Not sure if I would get this food next time I’m in the neighbourhood. I’ve had better.

This was my first time trying Big Smoke Burger, it was pretty impressive considering all there burgers are made to order therefore they are fresh. There burgers are done medium rare, if you’re the type of person who likes it well done it can requested during your order. They don’t just only serve beef burgers, they offer veggie, chicken, lamb or organic beef as substitutions, but pricing may vary.
I ordered a Crazy Burger with a side of onion rings and a bottle of water it came up to nearly $ 15, it may seem a bit pricey for a meal, however you need to be considerate that you cannot find a burger joint that has good fresh tasting toppings and the beef actually tastes like beef; not some mushy beef patty served at Mcdonald’s. Aside from the burger the onion rings came with five to seven pieces roughly, but it was really satisfying — as the onion rings were cooked to perfection and they were really filling.
The service was pretty fast, burger was not that greasy, well put together, and clean environment considering it’s a pretty decent size burger joint on Yonge Street. Overall it gave me a good impression and would go there again.

I like this place. It’s a good burger joint. I love burgers. Nothing really bad to say other than maybe the price which can run you upwards of like $ 20.00 if you get a nice fat combo and tip.

I’ve been going here since it was Craft Burger and before calling something «craft» was irritating.
Just a good solid lunch burger. Nothing gigantic or overdone. Good fresh tasting toppings, cooked to order, and beef that tastes, well, like beef!
Fries are good. I dont know what to say, its just a consistently tasty product and my staple work-​hours burger. I kind of see Big Smoke and Burger’s Priest as the competing toronto chains for the lunch crowd. I prefer Big Smoke to priest for a couple reasons — faster service, not as pretentious, not nearly as greasy, cleaner. And I dont care about napkins.

Had the craft burger (hate the name) which was fabulous. Rosemary mayo, grilled mushrooms, lettuce and tomato — was perfectly cooked, a lovely pink inside and traveled well. I had it to go and ate it about ½ hour later.
Side of onion rings where great and ended up being too much for me to finish by myself (normal appetite).

I had the Big Smoke Burger
Fantastic burger, 6oz standard patty and I believe it was $ 3 for an extra patty. For about $ 12 it was a fairly hefty meal, good size and portion. The pattys were perfect. The pattys were everything a good burger patty should be and actually tastes like ground beef rather than fillers. The toppings all seemed fresh and the bun was great.

Food was great! Only downside was seeing a mouse run right by the kitchen entrance right at we started to eat our food. Other patrons saw it as well and got their money back for their meal. Heard them telling the waiter that they would be calling Health Canada.

Had an amazingly simple blue burger at Big Smoke.
Blue cheese and avocado should be part of every burger experience.
The meat was cooked perfectly– medium well so charred exterior and dark pink interior. Lordie!
The best part– the bun! Warm and toasted, the way all buns should be.
I’ll be back.
I RECOMMEND– any of the signature burgers really but you know where I stand
EXTRA TIP– Expect a small to modest sized sandwich at quite a cost (in my case, sandwich plus water? $ 11. No fries or sides). But money well spent.

Any burger joint that serves delicious, juicy grass-​fed organic beef burgers, cooked to a perfect medium rare, and plays Led Zeppelin deserves no less than a ⁵⁄₅.
If you’re around Yorkville, and looking to have a burger, Big Smoke is a sure winner. Great food, great ambiance.

Went for lunch today with my dad… Ol man was craving a good burger so we decided on Big Smokes !!
Both of us ordered Veggie burgers. I had a Veggie burger with extra Mayo, lettuce and tomato. Doesn’t sound the greatest but even I didn’t know why I ordered my burger that way. I had a side of Poutine with it to make a combo. My dad ordered his with everything on it and a side of fries.
The burgers were Delish !!! I’m not a hardcore Vegetarian but I’ll try a Veggie burger when I feel like it but out of all the big chain veggie burgers I’ve had, Big Smokes is probably the best one. The patty was nice and thick and the grill taste was great !! Coming back to my topping combo– it was a total pass !!! That’s my new topping combination from now on !!
Big Smokes I wanna marry your grill !!! See you sooooooonnnn !!!

Burger week
1. Blazing Pineapple Burger ($ 5)
— Decent burger. Good size patty and bun. Only special addition was a grilled slice of pineapple which did add a nice touch to it. The sauce was spicy and can definitely feel the kick after every bite.
Overall:
Not bad for a quick bite but wouldn’t go out of the way to get it.

Oh… how my burger tastes have evolved.(not sure that’s necessarily a good thing). If you were to ask me to review this place two years ago, I would have given it four stars because all I knew was Harvey’s, Lick’s, BK and McProcessed Meats
Here’s what I like about this place — burgers are cooked fresh, toppings are good and patties are very large, efficient service with the numbering.
What I don’t like about this place: not a fan of the communal seating, considering that the place is very small, and still expensive even if it is a «gourmet burger». At the same time, can it really be called a «gourmet burger» now that it has at least 5 – 6 locations?
Verdict: Good introduction to higher level burgers that don’t cause you to puke afterwards, but there is better around the area — e.g. Capitano.

I have embarked on a burger hunt to find my favourite gourmet burger and Big Smoke had been bookmarked for a long time. Sure, I see them at Eaton’s Centre, but it just doesn’t feel right eating a gourmet burger at a food court you know?
So I got the Blue Burger which came with gorgonzola, avocado, rosemary garlic mayo, tomato & lettuce. I was sooo pleased with the generous fix ins for the burger and the awesome sauce flavour combinations! I do wish that drinks here can be cheaper though, since burgers and fries does make you thirsty, but I don’t want to shell out 3 – 4 bucks for a pop =/​
Also had a few bites of my bf’s poutine. Nothing spectacular. Stick to the burgers =)
