Amazing burgers!

For fast food that's not exactly fast food, I go to Craft burger. They are always fresh, hot and the toppings are incredible (restaurant burgers - go to Bamburger!).

Only problem is the Yonge St location is frequently crowded which makes waiting a problem.

This is a place you should try if you like hamburgers !! We have come here a few times now and it is always standard quality. Perfectly cooked burgers with fresh ingredients. We will be back again !

Wow, this is the second time I have eaten at this establishment! So glad I did! The first time I ate here was 2 weeks ago with my daughter in law. I had the lamb burger and my daughter and granddaughter had the organic burger, both were amazingly great! I brought my friend here for lunch after shopping today and... more

I've ate at many burger joints. I just arrived in from Japan and my brother decided to show me this burger joint. I was really happy he did. Its a no-frills, trendy place that has focused on what is really important; the burger taste. I found my burger to be one of the very best I've ever had. The meat... more

Craft Burger is my go-to place for a decent burger. I'm a combo kind of girl, so I expect to have the best of all worlds. And Craft Burger delivers in that way. In addition to the delicious burgers, their fries are deliciously crisp and tasty and the onion rings pretty good. Actually, I prefer my onion rings to be of a lighter batter (like GBK) and C.B's is more heavy in that department (i.e.,... more

This is my favourite burger joint in North America lol. This place is great. The burgers are juicy and flavourful. I've tried the burger with blue cheese as well as the one with avocado. Both are AMAZING!!! I went to both locations. The king street location is kinda small, so don't be surprise if you can't get a seat. Also, love the fries, it has the best amount of crispiness to them. Writing... more

A burger like this makes the baby Jesus cry. Given the fawning reviews of this place, I was really looking forward to a good, juicy burger. I ordered a meal that pulled out all the caloric stops: a cheeseburger, poutine, and a chocolate shake. While the poutine was decent and the shake serviceable (but thin), the burger was egregiously bad. The meat was Sahara-dry and seriously overcooked. The... more

Lunch break need not be boring with Craft burgers around! Around 1 every seat was filled but that was ok with me because I had already decided on taking it to go. I was served with a smile and was grateful that I had looked at the online menu before coming in. I looked like a regular, not glancing at the menu and just ordering "Craft Spicy" combo- fries. I waited at the side, close to the... more

Past... I remember when the first Craft Burger came on King street and many months after I decided to track my way to the location in a FREEZING Winter's night from Yonge street. Walking inside, I felt like a Hobo finding an warm air vent. Specialty Burger Joints were somewhat new to the scene and Craft Burger did satisfy. Not only that but the Onion Rings were also enjoyable.... Present... more

Yeah, you know. That burger (i ordered the basic one) wasn't so amazing, but oh wow, the poutine (classic poutine style) was really really perfect.It was full on a sunday night.  It took 10-15 minutes to get what I ordered.

Let me say that I am NOT a red meat eater, however I WILL eat red meat if I know that it is good (no hormones, no additives and organic,).I ordered a "chicken: burger", but they didn't have anymore chicken left. UGH! It was 6pm and you DO NOT have any chicken left??and NO veggie either?? really??I was left with only one other option-100% organic beef burger..FINE!It was okay, a little overdone... more

One day my friend and I found ourselves at Craft Burger in Yorkville after visiting the ROM. I'd heard they have amazing burgers and I thought they would have an equally as awesome veggie burger too, but NOPE.  Upon entering the store, we found ourselves in a clean, semi-trendy yet casual dining room that consisted of wooden wall panels/ benches.  The cashier/ server who greeted us was really... more

Not a bad burger, but nothing to write home about. I personally wouldn't call their burgers "gourmet" and I think that the price is a bit hefty for what you really get. ($30 for 2 burgers and fries)Fries were tasty, gravy was salty. I get better buns at the grocery store.

Craft Burger isn't bad. I'm not the hugest burger person as I only get Veggie - but on the rare occasion that I feel like one, I go here. Its kinda pricey for a veggie with fries and pop coming in at about $13 but I rather pay $13 than $10 for some mediocre "vegetable patty" and frozen fries at some pub. Pros: - The "Spicy" Topping set of spicy mayo and caramelized onions is actually spicy. Its... more

Prices were a little higher than I'd like but both the Veggie Burger ($6.95) and the Poutine ($4.95) were excellent. Size was good as well; I could barely finish the poutine and burger, which is rare for me. There's not many seats and the place is super busy for lunch. So get there early or go for takeout.One of the best of the new breed of gourmet burger joints.

Just a quick update.  This is really bad.  Lately, we have been stopping at Craft Burger once a week, usually after working out.  It still holds number one spot for best burger (on our list).  Wait, also number spot on BlogTO as one of the best burger in Toronto.

Craft burger is perfect in every manner of the word... Since having it i have made it a mission to take all my friends to Craft burger and they have all loved it!Juicy patty with a wide selection of toppings, craft burger is guaranteed to make you say "WOW, that was one great burger"

I will admit that I am somewhat of a burger snob, so I have very high expectations for burgers. Enter Craft Burger. The place is small but cozy. I placed my order for a Spicy Burger + fries and took a seat at the large bench style table. The food arrived quickly, and overall it was tasty. The burger was cooked well and the meat tasted fresh. The biggest problem was that the Spicy Burger was not... more

I don't think I've ever had a better burger. Delicious, fresh, with inspired ingredients and great service. Expect to wait a bit  (the place was pretty busy) and go on an off-day from your diet.

Craft is on my list of favorite burgers spots in toronto. Even though I give props to any place that asks how you like your burger done and this place doesn't,  it makes up for everything else in flavor, choice toppings, fries, onion rings and overall dining experience.I always get something with blue cheese or avocado and I leave satisfied all the time. I would rate Allen's burger patty higher... more

Good burger place, on par with others like the Gourmet Burger Co., Hero, etc. I had the Craft burger - beef, mushrooms, garlic mayo, lettuce, tomato. Didn't try to fries, although they looked really good!! Slower than fast-food, expect to wait 10 minutes for them to make your burger (but really, that's a good thing!). Staff are nice and bring your food to your table. I went on a Sunday around... more

Good burgers. We were at the Toronto Film Festival and stop in between movies. It was packed. (Don't go during lunchtime) After we finally found a seat (make sure if you are with someone that they go get a seat while you order), and had a nice juicy burger in Toronto. It was a little expensive but good. Don't go at lunch if you are in a hurry.

I'm not sure I got the 'boutique' description but a good burger nonetheless.  It's slightly above say Chipotle, but not really by much.  I had a solid Lamb burger with delicious feta spread and a micro green salad with pretty decent dressing.  The avocado addition was a regret as it was a frozen cup of mashed avocado (Chipotle would win here).  The service was excellent though, very nice and... more

I love this place. Yummy burgers every time. Just don't get the whole wheat bun. And if you get the poutine for the love of God find someone to share it with because you'll regret it afterwards, even though you'll want to finish it all yourself. It'll leave you some room to try an old fashioned milkshake.

The Poutine still ROCKS, but Craft Burger you let me down the other day with my burger....I asked for ketchup and extra pickles and all I got was the ketchup :(  We were way a head of the lunch rush - so there was no excuse.  Step it up Craft burger, or you will only be getting my poutine orders.

Based on Lindsey S's review of the poutine, I went back to get an order. I was NOT disappointed! The poutine was so ooey gooey good. I was shovelling it into my mouth so quickly on the train up to Yorkdale that the couple across from me gave me a weird look as I realized cheese strands were stuck to my chin. Was I embarrassed? No. I didn't care if they were all up in my poutine experience! I... more
