Excellent
Aloette Restaurant
8.7The Aloette Burger is the anchor: beaufort cheese, onion, lettuce, and the option to fold in triple cooked fries. It gives the room a direct, repeatable reason to be busy.
Pennies Bellwoods
8.4Pennies earns this card through a menu that keeps burgers central while still staying playful. Classic Hamburger and Oklahoma Burger give the griddle side a backbone, while the slider format keeps the order flexible for groups.
RASA
9.3The RASA Burger is not a filler item on a global menu. Brisket, provolone, gochujang mayo, pickles, and kimchi make it the comfort-food anchor for the shared order, and it is strong enough to sit beside the seafood and pasta plates.
Richmond Station
9.0This is not a burger-only restaurant, but the STN. Burger is important enough to change how Richmond Station should be read. It lets the restaurant operate as a serious downtown burger stop while still leaving room for tartare, Ontario vegetables, wine, and a full Chef's Menu dinner.
Good Options
WVRST
8.8The WVRST Smash is not a throwaway backup order. Double beef chuck patties, WVRST spread, caramelized onion, and a house-baked pain au lait bun make it a serious second lane beside sausages.
Brazen Head Irish Pub
9.0Brazen Head has a real burger lane rather than a single filler patty. Smash Burger and Brazen Burger both use two Ontario beef patties, while the weekly Burger Monday program gives the category extra menu presence.
Steam Whistle Kitchen
9.2The Smash Burger is the most direct order, with two patties, cheese, house sauce, pickles, onions, and fries, plus practical gluten-free and plant-based swaps.
