5 Best Burger Restaurants in Toronto (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Thorne Savarin, Culinary Explorer · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

Among the best burger restaurants in Toronto, the scene runs late: two of the spots on this page stay open past midnight, and one until 4am on weekends. The Burger's Priest alone has logged nearly 6,000 Google reviews, almost twice the next closest name here, but most of these restaurants sit within a tenth of a star of each other at 4.6, so review volume, not rating, is what actually separates them.

Short answer: The Burger's Priest is Toronto's most-reviewed burger spot (4.6 stars across 5,920 reviews), while Alfie's Sandwiches rival Rosie's Burgers stands out for its smash-burger technique among four closely rated competitors. Expect to pay roughly $10 to $30 per person for a burger meal in Toronto, more for specialty toppings or a combo.

Fresh, well-cooked patties with quality ingredients praised consistently
Fast, friendly service even during busy periods
Fair pricing relative to portion size, according to reviewers

Worth knowing

Burger Drops

4.62,634 Google reviews

Burger Drops is a family-owned smash-burger destination based in Liberty Village at Atlantic Avenue, known for its Original and American-style smashburgers alongside curly fries, onion rings and made-from-scratch desserts. It regularly runs limited-time collaboration burgers with other Toronto eateries and pop-up events around the city, and its banana pudding gets called out almost as often as the burgers themselves.

What people praise

Juicy smash patties with strong beefy flavour, praised repeatedly
Banana pudding and onion rings singled out as standout sides
Friendly staff who accommodate food allergies with care
Frequent limited-time collaborations keep the menu fresh

Worth knowing

Very limited seating at the flagship Liberty Village location
No phone listed, so ordering ahead or reaching the shop directly can be harder

The Burgernator

4.43,145 Google reviews

The Burgernator is a burger restaurant in Kensington Market with a menu of named specialty burgers like the Atomic Burger, the Bulldozer lamb burger and the Big Bang, alongside vegetarian and kids' options. It positions itself around bold, loaded toppings rather than a classic plain burger, and its lunch combo deals get called out repeatedly by reviewers as good value.

What people praise

Strong lunch combo pricing, around $14 for a burger, fries and drink
Wide variety of specialty burger combinations on the menu
Quick, friendly service reported across most visits
Good size portions for the price point

Worth knowing

A couple of reviewers found specific specialty burgers underseasoned
Quality reported as occasionally inconsistent between visits on chicken and fries

Halal beef and chicken options available throughout the menu
Late-night hours matching The Burger's Priest for post-midnight cravings
In-house hot sauce customizable to taste, praised by reviewers

4.61,931 Google reviews

Rosie's Burgers is a smash-burger shop on Queen Street West that built a strong social-media following before opening, known for its crispy-edged patties, crinkle-cut fries and Dad's Banana Pudding dessert.

What people praise

Crispy, well-seasoned smash patties praised as some of the city's best
Crinkle-cut fries called out as a standout, better than several national chains
Banana pudding dessert consistently highlighted across reviews
Clean, inviting interior for a fast-casual burger shop

Watch: 5 Best Burger Restaurants in Toronto (2026)

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Toronto burger restaurants. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.6 from nearly 6,000 people carries more weight than a similar score from a much smaller base. Recency reflects how recently customers are still reviewing. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a burger cost in Toronto? (2026)

Based on price-per-person figures reviewers reported across these spots, here is what to expect for a burger meal in Toronto:

Job	Typical price
Single burger and fries	$10 to $20 per person
Combo with a drink and sides	$14 to $30 per person
Loaded specialty burger meal	$20 to $40 per person

Ranges compiled July 2026 from price-per-person figures reported directly in Google reviews for the businesses on this page. Actual pricing varies by toppings and add-ons; check each restaurant’s menu for exact prices.

Serving all of Toronto

These burger spots are spread across the city, from Adelaide Street West and Liberty Village to Kensington Market, Yonge Street and Queen Street West. Searching for burgers near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and address so you can find the closest option fast.

What to ask before you order a burger

Are halal or vegetarian patties available if you have dietary needs?
How long is the wait during peak lunch or dinner hours?
Is seating available, or is this primarily a takeout counter?
Are combo deals cheaper than ordering items separately?
Does the location closest to me match the flagship’s menu and hours?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these burger restaurants?

We started from every burger restaurant in Toronto with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Which Toronto burger spots stay open latest?

The Burger’s Priest and Firefly Burger both run until 2am on weeknights and 4am on Friday and Saturday, making them the latest options on this page.

Where can I find halal burgers in Toronto?

Firefly Burger offers halal beef and chicken throughout its menu. Cowboys Grill, on our separate BBQ page, also offers halal meat on request if you are craving something smoked instead.

The bottom line

The Burger’s Priest is the safe default on sheer proven volume and late-night hours, while Rosie’s Burgers and Burger Drops are the picks if smash-burger technique and dessert matter most. Whichever you choose, expect a short wait at peak times, especially at the shops with a strong social-media following.
