Thank you so much for doing these reviews. You definitely know hamburgers, and your comments are much appreciated. In the interest of public service, I’m wondering if you’d consider adding the rating number (3, 3.5, etc) beside the name of the restaurant on the restaurant page. This way your readers can see at a glance who the top restos are, without having to read each and every review.
That’s actually a really good idea — I might just have to implement that. Thanks, John!
Thank you for doing the GTA burger scene a great service!!! Every time I want a great burger I check your site and it has not let me down.

Michael, Thanks for this wonderful list of burger restaurants. By adding your rating next to each restaurant, you’ve effectively prioritized for me where I will be burgering for the next few years .. start with the 4-stars, .. then the 3.5’s. .. etc. Thanks.
You have to try the burger at The Wilcox in Mississauga. It’s freshly ground chuck, topped with a runny egg. I’m definitely a fan of the classic burger, but this is such a treat!
Nice to see cross referencing with my own personal list. I do recommend The Rebel Burger @ The Mugshot Tavern if you get a chance. probably the best burger I’ve had since Zeals in 2020.
Oh yeah? That place wasn’t on my radar — thanks for the heads up.
