In the context of fast casual dining, Burger 320 is as good as it gets. We are particular fans of the chicken & waffles. The chicken is moist and tender due to it being so fresh(the affable owner Mario sources all his ingredients from local farms). Also, no dry waffles here, rather they have a texture reminiscent of French cruller donuts, with a moist egg-laden open cell texture. I would suggest eating in rather than taking out as the hot freshness of all the food will turn to tepid sogginess in closed containers and a plastic bag. The garlic Parmesan fries are a prime example of this… perfect in store, but flaccid if brought home to eat. The homemade gelato & burgers are also of the highest quality, so it’s pretty hard to go wrong here…

Hot-biggity-burgers this is one fine grill. I hope by now you’ve had a chance to experience the charm of Burger 320 in Bridgeland, but in case you haven’t: burgers crafted of fresh brisket, ground daily on-site from locally raised beef, with fresh local farm ingredients served inside fresh-baked, branded buns,(deep breath…) with gelato to boot, all inside one super tiny, beyond minuscule shack of a building. The new Kensington location rocks the same concept as the first, but with one big change — no more tiny shack! Epic burgers, to-die-for parm fries, delicious gelato, all in a space that you can kick back in and relax. They’re licensed and carry the full lineup of Unibroue beers from Quebec. I’ll let you in on a little secret: Beer and burgers go really well together! With the bigger size comes and increase in menu to go along with it. They’ve added waffles to the list and feature a list of sweet and savour concoctions ranging from a s’mores waffle to a philly cheese steak waffle. My favourite so far — chicken and waffles. They’re expertly crispy, juicy, and come served with a white gravy, maple syrup and some dollops of Sriracha. It’s a comfort food flavour explosion. Fave burger: The Wickens — beef patty, wicked good bacon, block cheddar, aioli, arugula and BBQ rhubarb onion chutney. Go here. They’re open late too.

Awful. Ordered a couple of basic burgers and fries to take home… got home and ended up throwing away half my burger and my boyfriend threw his away. Watched the meat being cooked, they put a lid on top of the burger patties and basically steamed them. The meat was absolutely awful tasting. Flavorless and bland. The bun they used did not improve the bad taste of the meat either. The fries were chopped and thrown directly into the fryer which resulted in soggy starchy fries. Could not even eat more than 3 fries they were soggy and oil-filled like noodles. Literally oily noodles. (Fries 101: the less moisture in the fries before you fry them, the more crispy they will become hence you need to soak them in cold water and pat them dry) Everyone was in total chaos in the kitchen for customers to see… kinda embarrassing for them. The guy working the grill looked homeless. I just sat and stared at the mayhem while i waited for my order. We paid nearly $ 40 for two burgers and one fries to share. We will never eat here again it was simply poorly done. Yuck. By the way the«italian gelato waffle burger parlor» theme really sucked. No branding or identity here. Very confusing and chaotic. Hire a branding team and fix your food guys.

If I could give this place a half star I would. Myself and a colleague went to this location for lunch. First the place was empty, we stood at the counter for a good 10 minute before someone served us. Finally someone takes our order and the guy that took our order was most interested in my colleague, more like trying to pick her up. We sit down and my colleague is very uncomfortable at this point she wanted to get up a leave. Im not sure if the people at this location are over worked or not happy working there but there was another lady there that looked like she had not slept in weeks! Her clothing where so dirty. If your going to have an open kitchen style restaurant then tell you’re staff to wear clean clothing to work. At this point I was considering my colleagues suggestion on leaving but I was starving. We where sitting pretty close to where we could see how they cook there burgers. Now I’m no chef but last time I checked meat should be red right? Well the meat that was put on the grill was brown. BROWNMEAT!!! Can someone please tell me why the meat they use is brown. After about 15 minute wait we get our food. My colleagues fries where burnt and she did not eat them. My burger was DISGUSTING! It was like the meat had been frozen then put on the grill. This company says that all they use is fresh ingredients but I’m I beg to differ. When you are serving people meat that is brown to me that’s no fresh. My fries seems like they where sitting for hours they where not very good. We did not finish our burgers. Ps if you are a women and head into this place be sure to be prepared to be Hit on and tried to be picked up by the guy taking your order. Will not be back.

Was really happy to see that Burger 320 was opening another location in Kensington and was super excited to hear that they were going to offer chicken and waffles on their menu! I was already a big fan of their burgers, so I knew that I was in for a treat when I ordered their chicken and waffles yesterday. The chicken was the star in my opinion, as the chicken was super moist and had a perfect crunchy buttermilk coating. I was also a big fan of the white farmhouse gravy and appreciated the side of maple syrup and dollops of hot sauce on the side of the plate. It was easily one of the best chicken and waffles I’ve tasted in the city! This location offers tables and chairs for you to enjoy your meal, which lacks in their original location in Bridgeland. The only reason why I gave them 4 stars based on this experience is because the fries we ordered were a little soggy, they just could have been left in the fryer a bit longer. Maybe something I would request next time I make a visit.

Went for a bite to eat before heading next door to PRLR for some cocktails, what a great decision. Had a really big lunch so shared a burger with the boy. He loves trying burgers as they come to see if they are really as good as proclaimed. Gonna say this one is. Delicious flavour from the beef, soft baked in house bun, with balsamic ketchup on the side. Friends we were with tried the parmesan garlic fries with aoli(giant box full), milkshake, and chicken + waffles. All were proclaimed excellent. Love that we got to see Chef Mario branding the tops of the buns too! Got to speak to Chef Mario a little too and he is friendly and had all the time in the world to answer all the questions we had before making our choices. Didn’t get a taste of the chicken + waffles so feel that will be happening soon… maybe with different burger accompanying it.

What? I’m the first place to write a review for this place? Well then… I better make this good. I ordered the burger with cheese curds. The bun was freshly made and not your typical Safeway deli bun. The beef patty was lean. The ingredients were top notch, from the cheese down to the produce. I really liked the addition of arugula in the burger. I actually felt somewhat«healthy» after eating here. I tried some of my friend’s fries. She loves the fries here as they will cut the potato right in front of you. The fries taste real too, they actually taste like a potato. Crazy huh? Lots of Parmesan shavings and a dollop of not too garlicky aioli topped this delicacy. Yay! I’m a fan.
