7 Best Burgers in Canada

Let’s see how people review this restaurant

"What a spot. When I'd walk home from work or school on a claustrophobic and hectic stretch of Yonge, I'd sometimes cut off onto the calm and empty parallel side streets to make the trek more enjoyable. On one of these detours, I discovered a cozy little quiet side street just south of Yonge and Bloor. On this street, the refined and profesional looking Cabano's sign stuck out to me. When I saw it was a place that specialized in comfort food, I knew they were speaking my language. On my first and only visit (so far), I grabbed their Original Chicken Sandwich ($12.49) with a side of Fries ($4.50). That Southern Fried Chicken Breast tastes truly amazing. The batter tastes great and has a nice crunch. The chicken itself is juicy and was served up hot. Some fried chicken sandwiches feel like a slab of bland tasteless white meat, but Cabano's tasted great. I loved the mayo, lettuce, and pickles as well. The coolness they bring in each bite is mouth watering. $12.49 is the more or less the going rate for cool independent spots in the city, so relative to that league of restaurants the pricing was fair. The portion size was nice as well. Based on just the sandwich and it's price, I'd give this place a 4/5, but what makes it a 5/5 for me is the Cabano's Burger Sauce. Every time I try a new burger/chicken sandwich place, I need to give their house sauce a shot. Cabano's Burger Sauce is delicious. It's creamy with a slight zip. It's a blend of other condiments, but includes real egg and dairy - definitely on the higher quality side. Well worth the extra $1.25. My friend had their Honey BBQ and enjoyed it, but much preferred their sampling of my Burger Sauce (fwiw). Lastly, I must touch on the Fries. I'm typically not a fan of all these restaurants segmenting up the burger, fries, and drink for separate costs, so my friend and I split the fries for $4.50. I'd say they're worth the $4.50 as the serving size is pretty big. They taste amazing. Sometimes, skinny fries like this can lack taste or be overly salted, but these were perfect. Ours had no seasoning like cajun or anything like that, but were salted just right. You can really taste the yummy oil they dunk them in to cook and it's to-die-for. The seating area inside the restaurant is actually really great. It's a square shaped ring table with high stools to sit on. The restaurant itself is clean, dimly lit, and simple - I like it! It's a good environment to scarf down a burger. The staff were super friendly and helpful. It only took about 10 minutes for our order to be prepared. One of my favourite things about the inside of the restaurant is that they have two touch screen kiosks to order on similarly to McDonald's and Tim Horton's. The reason I like this is because it gives me time to go through the menu and slowly configure my order. In the summertime, there are a few wooden dining tables out front to dine on. Because the street is usually pretty quiet, it makes it a nice spot to enjoy a meal without being disturbed by constant foot traffic a few inches away from your meal. Cabano's is a 5/5 for me. I look forward to going back and trying their Chili Cheese Fries and Stroman Shimmy Wings." - Nathan G.

"Cabano is definitely hands-down my favourite burger in the city. Everything from the bun to the meat and toppings are amazing. There fries are amazing, I wish they had poutine. Would be a game changer. I've had all their burgers and wings and I can't say this about a lot of places but it gets 10/10 for me." - Bianka K.

"Surprisingly exceeded expectations. The cheeseburger is wafer thin and the bun stays puffy throughout the eating experience. A good ratio between bun and patty covering both sides. Would return. My partner and I also shared the chili cheese fries which, had the fries been curly, would hit the whole mouth feel out of the park." - Jennifer C.

"Food is always consistent!  Love the brisket such a great treat!  If you want their ribs which are also very good, call early in the afternoon as they often run out!" - Paula D.

"Amazing burgers amazing pulled pork sandwich! I come here often it's genuinely well priced and SO TASTY. Melt in your mouth kinda thing." - Camilo G.

"A great go-to stop for all things. From hardware to soft serve. Tons of parking. But be prepared to walk a bit out doors. This is that kind of mall that means you gotta walk outside between shops. Great when the weather is good, less so if the weather's bad." - Matthew E.
